SF Giants Step it Up in July
The Giants are the hottest team in baseball!! Now, say that “Three times fast. July was a great month for the Giants. At one point, the Giants won twenty of twenty-five games, something that they’ve done only three times since they’ve been in San Francisco (1965, 1978, and now, 2010). I was concerned with how […]
The SF Giants at the All Star Break
I think that the Giants are one of the more interesting teams at the All-Star Break. At the time of this writing they are five games above the .500 mark and only four games back of first place. With half the season to go, anything can happen. This is part of what makes baseball exciting […]
The SF Giants June Swoon
I can recall one time when I was a kid, one of my sisters asked me “What about the Giants’ “June swoon?” At the time she asked I was not familiar with what the phrase “June swoon” actually meant. Now, many years later I am painfully aware of what the June swoon is, and it […]
It’s Been A Giant Roller Coaster Of A Season So Far In San Fran
Ugh!! What can I say?! I know that baseball is a marathon not a sprint. What this means is that one needs to roll with the highs and lows of their respective team over the course of a long season. I just didn’t expect the highs and lows to come in the same week. Being […]
The Giants So Far in May And More…
Well it is now the middle of May, and the baseball season is starting to pick up steam. I am still trying to figure out this Giants team. They are now 1-6 against the Padres, thanks to last night’s win against them, 7-6, in 12 innings, and they are 6-0 against the Astros. Now, I […]
The SF Giants’ April of 2010
Well, the month of April is done. I love the beginning of baseball season, it is full with so much hope, that is unless your team is sadly foundering. In that case, it is the beginning of a very long season with very little hope other than for a high draft pick. However, with baseball […]
The Giants and Dodges Rivalry is better than the Yanks and Red Sox!
Well, the three game series in Los Angeles did not go well for the Giants. It did go better than being swept in San Diego. The one game that the Giants won was a 9-0 combined shutout thrown by the starter and Giants ace, Tim Lincecum. Lincecum also got three hits in the game. One […]
2010 Opening Day in San Francisco
Well, Opening Day 2010 for the San Francisco Giants was absolutely and utterly spectacular. It was everything that I could ask for from a baseball game. The giveaway was great– Giants calendars which they give away every year for Opening Day. Not only that, the game went into extra innings — lasting into the thirteenth […]
A Preview of Opening Day For the SF Giants
Ah, Opening Day!! There really is nothing else quite like it. It is the start of a new season, with new hopes, and new anxieties. I have been to every San Francisco Giants Opening Day from 1988 to 2009, with the exception of 1995. (I was upset about the Baseball Strike of 1994, and skipped […]
Baseball Reflections From A Lifetime SF Giants Fan
I have been a baseball fan and a Giants fan for thirty-two years since I was thirteen years old in 1978. I once had someone tell me that I was the most intense Giants fan that he’d ever met. I took this then and now, as a badge of honor. To me, I equate my […]
