SF Giants = World Series Champs!

I wish I was in SF right now so that I could watch the parade. I know it's crazy, but I want to drown in a sea of people in black and orange.

I'm so proud of the Giants. I admit that I wasn't a fan until I moved to California 5 years ago, and that the only reason I got into it was because Brett has been a lifelong fan. But there aren't any teams in Hawaii. I was always a University of Hawaii fan, because that's who everyone rooted for, the local team. I didn't know much about baseball 5 years ago, but I've learned a lot and truly enjoy watching it. I even gave softball a chance because I thought I would like to play something that I watch. I like it. I'm just REALLY bad at it.

We always watch games and have been to a few each season for the past 4 or 5 years. This season, Brett and I watched 100+ games and attended a few. We've been disappointed by their losses and elated with their wins. We've watched them struggle and then make some of the most difficult plays look effortless. I know the players names, which has NEVER happened with any sport that I've watched. I came up with little nicknames and chants for some players. If they're batting, I make sure I say their nickname or chant, in case it's good luck. Hahahaha! I know that's weird, but I guess that's what fans are (not fair weather fans! not gonna get into that!).

Brett emailed me this article yesterday, and I almost teared up. I've become so attached to the Giants because I watched so many games, that I feel a little emotional of what they accomplished. Like tha article says, "a group of castoffs and misfits," but they fit perfectly into the team and work well together. I'm so happy that Edgar Renteria was named MVP... especially since he was thinking about retirement earlier this year. Oh I'm just so happy for them! Just read the article! Congrats San Francisco Giants!
