Giants vs Rockies @ AT&T Park

This morning when I woke up I had no idea if the Giants would win. I gave up hope. I decided well, I might bring a jersey and which one would I wear? I wore the Gigantes one. I hadn?t washed it from when I last wore it in San Diego so I hope there was something left from the last game we won down there back in July.

I was not given a backpack because the guy said it was for kids. I was one! DAMN IT! OK I act like one more than anything.

A day where dreams came true just one more time.

A day where the sun was shining and the Giants had a win.

Not Randy Winn, but a WIN.

We were originally up one run, but then the Rockies scored to tie it and then take the lead.

It was hard to believe. It all started with Moises getting a single, and then Barry got a ground rule double to move Moises over to third. With those two hits, it just started the runs. Everyone worked hard to drive in runs. They were all singles, but it didn?t matter. What we had was something we were lacking for the past 11 games.

We did get one more run and I was glad. There were moments when we were just being silly and teasing the pitchers. They need to know that we the fans might have given up on some level, but if we could put a smile to their face, it would mean a little something to them.

We have the faith, some of us have about 10%, or so left after the trades and how terrible it went.

After the game, I went down past the clubhouse and I saw a few of the players. I saw Randy Winn talking with his wife. I saw Steve Finley signing a couple of autographs. While waiting for the ?Orangest Fan? I saw Mark Sweeney walking up holding his bats and other items. I saw him and went OMG! (Oh My God!) and he asked me how am I? All I could muster out was Hi. I was just shocked. I didn?t think he?d say hi. He?s dreamy. To think this guy ended the Giants hope last season. I?m smitten. I?m speechless and have no idea what to say. I could have said great game and nice going, but all I did was stand there and played ?dumb?. I will never ever regret being able to talk to a baseball player, but I have to learn how to talk.

Come on guys, my hope of this one game will turn us around. I know it?ll take a couple more, but please just remember this girl loves the game a lot and if her heart gets broken earlier and earlier in the season she will be one of the few that will go against what the norm is.

End rant.

Giants vs Rockies @ ATT

Tonight?s game was something that I have never seen. Not even on TV. Fan just got tired of how the umpire Ron Kulpa was calling the game. The fact that he threw out Barry Bonds was just a shock. Water bottles came flying on to the field and other items.

Fans were just unhappy with how the game had changed with that one moment. This was at the bottom of the 9th when we were trying to make a comeback from behind. It seems like all the umpires don?t like the Giants. They just want to keep us from winning it. The blown calls were just outrageous.

This made me a little scared to be at the ballpark when something like this happens. I am just glad I?m not an umpire because then I?d really be fearing for my life.

The only highlight of the game was Barry Bonds hitting a homerun that did not man a lot in the end when he was ejected. Everyone was not happy. Krukow and Miller were shocked at what happened.

Just not a happy ending.

Horoscope: It's the perfect day to create a new budget. Cut the excessive areas of your life. You're on display and drawing plenty of admirers. Just make sure you're not inadvertently pushing folks away by donning a cool facade. Relationships with others are highlighted and can be easier now.
