Game 4 - Checky Check :) :) ;)

I will need to pinch myself a few more times to think.....that.....tomorrow can be the day the Giants finally win it all. Madison Bumgarner was locked in....and so was Huff's home run.....felt like everyone in the team locked in after that.....'keep the lead'......and so the team is now one win away from glory. I can't wait!

Game 2 - Check :) :)

The train keeps on rolling :). Good win for Matt Cain who pitched really well.....good spots by Javier Lopez and Mota (finally got him in the game). And of course....the offense :). You never know who's gonna be the hot bat (or bats) in the game but it really feels like the team is in a zone. The next challenge is in Arlington. Looking forward to it :).

Game 1 - Check :)

Still underdogs in the eyes of most....no problemo! What an offensive show...both pitchers were off and the hitters took advantage. The Rangers are still a tough team and still a lot of adjustments and fixes to work on in the next games. But hey, a win is a win, thank you very much!

Giants are NL Champions :)

YEEEAAAHHHHH!!!! :) :) :)

Nothin' on You

It's been a while and I still find myself coming back to watch Lili Taylor do this cover. Its all in good fun and I actually like her version better!

Le Underdogs Strike Again!

Really? Are you all still calling us underdogs? Oh well....well these underdogs are still grindin' ;). It was a tough game and it was very admirable for Bochy to keep relievers Casilla and Romo in there even after they each gave away runs. But the trust was rewarded and they were able to keep the game close. A lot of good calls in this game. Putting Sandoval in (Panda finally gets some productive hits!) and getting Uribe in on the 9th (both defensively and the winning sacrifice fly).....and Huff was Huff :)....and Ross, while not homering, still hot at the plate.

Le Underdogs

Watch every broadcast and you'll see how everyone pretty much thinks the Giants don't have a chance against the Philies. Well excuuuuuuuuse me! And so what happens to these broadcast naysayers after the 4-3 win by the Giants over Halladay in game 1?...yeah go ahead, backpedal as much as you like. Try as they will to keep some Halladay shine in check ("....not that he didn't pitch a good game...").....sorry boys, we're not as caught up in the bright lights you see in the east. Underdogs.....I like the sound of that ;).

Salute to Bobby Cox

Yes, the Giants won the series (woohoo!)...but have to pause and salute Bobby Cox. I'm guessing somewhere in that locker room Chipper Jones is feeling the loss. Chipper and Bobby have been together his entire career (Bobby scouted him, drafted him, coached him...pretty much a second father to him). A salute also to the Giants who extended a gesture to Bobby as he said goodbye on the field for the last time.

Now how about them Giants :) .....I hated Cody Ross when he was with the Marlins...am sure happy now that those hits against the Giants are now serving the Giants :).

Back at you!

Game 2 was a heartbreaker with the come-from-behind win by the Braves, but in Game 3 tonight the Giants were able to return the favor and win it in the 9th. Woohoo!

The Freak Delivers

Tim Lincecum's first post-season highlight stat: 14 strikeouts. Got one run from offense. That was enough. Amen.

More October Baseball!!

The sign one fan was holding says it all: ""torture has never felt this good". Winning was always an uphill battle for this team but they just kept on coming and finally we get to play deep into October once more. Woohoo!!
