unbelievable

I can’t describe how I feel right now. For every game during the playoffs, I have jumped up and down, and lost my voice nearly each game. But for game 5 of the WS, I never yelled or jumped around. I think I was just in shock. After the game, I just kept shaking my head in disbelief.

I think I’m happier for my Dad and my uncles. They are all legit fans who have watched Giants baseball since they were kids. They watch every game and fall asleep in the 7th inning because they are tired from working hard all day. I still remember when hinske hit his homerun for the Braves to take a 3-2 advantage in the bottom of the 8th. I just kept asking my dad “how do you watch the giants year after year?”
This team was truly special. Everyone says their team is special, but it’s nothing compared to this Giants team. They were pretty big underdogs to the Phillies, and won that series 42. Then they were underdogs to texas, and dominate them to win in 5 games. It’s just amazing.

the past couple months have not been the easiest for a couple of reasons. But the Giants have been that little distraction. My dad and I don’t really see eye to eye on a lot of things. But, during the past 2 months, we have watched lots of games together and were able to talk about the Giants nearly every day. I’ll never forget this, but whenever the opposing team makes an error, my dad yells “dumbass, you dumbass".

There are just too many good stories with this team. It’s crazy to think that I’ll remember every player on this team until the day I die. I’m so happy for Renteria and Rowand. I would always talk shit about both of them because of their age and being overpaid. But wow, MVP of the world series! I’ll never forget Rowand gunning the runner out at home in the NLCS. Freddy Sanchez with 4 hits in game 1 and awesome defensive plays throughout the postseason. Brooks “hot hands” Conrad. Aubrey Huff had some huge hits the whole season. Juan Uribe’s game winners in 2 games of the NLCS. Javier Lopez being completely nasty from the bullpen. Brian Wilson, easily my favorite player! Buster posey being a stud. Bumgarner being nasty in game 4. Awesome story of Andres Torres. Timmy outpitching cliff lee twice. cody ross stepping up. i'll never forget going to the playoff games with andy scott and corinne.

To be honest, I didn’t cry after the game. But I was definitely emotional. This team was just so special in so many ways. I was a little sad after the game. I just want to keep watching this team play. It’s so amazing how much ESPN and the MLB network hates the Giants. Before every game on TBS and Fox, those damn announcers would never pick the Giants to win. They pretty much brainwashed me into thinking the giants had absolutely zero chance of winning the NLCS, and then the World series. I’m not 100% positive, but I think the Giants were the underdog in 10 of the last 11 games.

I would always talk shit about zito. But I mean, yeah, he hasn’t performed the way people thought when he signed his big contract. But then again, look at all the guys on this team who are extremely underpaid. I don’t know a lot about contracts and free agents and whatnot, but wow, the young starting pitchers combined with Buster is very fun to think about in the future.

This is really jumbled, but whatever. The main purpose of my blog is for me to read 5-10 years from now.
