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.
