SF Giants - 2010 World Champions!

What a GREAT season, so many thrills and exciting moments. Torture never felt so good. Kruk and Kuip really outdid themselves. Amazing how Tim got himself right for the months of September and October plus November 1st when he beat Cliff Lee for the 2nd time in the series! This short video captures some of the joy and excitement. I keep replaying it! GO GIANTS. When does next season begin?

Orange Friday the 13th turns bad for the SF Giants.

The SF Giants lost tonight 2 to 3 to the San Diego Padres and it was not because of bad luck. It was a function of a few bad plays. Failing to get down a sacrifice bunt and then having a runner picked off the bases in the 2nd inning shut down what looked to be a possible run scoring inning. Then the go ahead and winning run scored when a throw to the plate was offline. The catcher was pulled away just enough to allow a very nice slide into home plate to avoid the tag. So this game was won (by SD Padres) and lost (by SF Giants) by doing the "little things" well by San Diego and San Francisco "failing to execute" in a few crucial moments. This is the first loss of the season on Orange Friday (9 - 1).

SF Giants press their luck with Orange Friday the 13th!

So far this season, the SF Giants are undefeated. Tonight they are wearing their orange uniforms at home once again. This might be the first Friday the 13th this season that they are playing at home and are wearing their orange uniforms. Is this testing their fate/luck? Well so far it is 2 to 0 after the first inning, and the Giants are ahead. GO GIANTS!

Orange Fridays - What a great idea!

Well here we are, halfway through the 2010 MLB season. The SF Giants are 47 wins - 41 losses. Thank you to whoever came up with the idea for ORANGE FRIDAYS! The SF Giants players wear orange jerseys for their home games on Friday. So far they are 7 wins - 0 losses when they wear the orange jerseys for Friday home games. It is my opinion that AT&T Park is the best baseball venue in the MLB. Check it out.
