LOL - interesting take on it Strangler.

I find myself in a strange position, rooting perhaps for the first time for an American League team in the series. I think the Giants are the only team that could ever cause me to set aside my principles like that.

To the extent I care (I'm not among the 15 non Giants/Rangers fans that will be watching) I'm rooting

a) For Ron Washington, since I liked him when he was a coach with the As.
b) Against the Giants because visiting AT&T Park and asking where the trophy room is will be less fun if they have a trophy.

Imagine if it had been Yankees vs. Giants. Then I would have to figure out how to root for both teams to lose.

So much for a pitching dual tonight

As a lifelong Dodger fan, I don't have to tell you how disappointing a season it was. So when the playoffs began, I decided that, since I now reside in San Diego, I might as well root for the Padres. They lost. Then I thought it would be cool if Bobby Cox got one more ring so I cheered for the Braves. They lost. Couldn't root for the despised Giants so my loyalties went to the City of Brotherly Love. They lost. Finally, with nowhere else to turn, I thought certainly Texas can beat the Giants, after what they did to the Yanks. And here we are.

Worst. season. ever.

I've endured more losses than any fan ever should, and yet, I still feel sadness that there is no more baseball this year.

I don't get why people have been getting so worked up about these early spring training games.

Much joy in Mudville tonight. Much yelling, honking and screaming, doubt if I will get much sleep tonight.

City Hall, Coit Tower all look beautiful lit up for the Giants.

Wish my Dad were here for this, he'd be ecstatic.
