Hey batter batter



Ladies and gentlemen, baseball season is in full swing! (Pun completely welcomed and intended) I am currently watching the Giants dominate the Astros 3-0 going into the top of the 7th and it is wonderful. You miss the crack of the bat and boys in cute uniforms after six months without them (seven months for the Giants)! Although some people find baseball games slow and boring, I just love them. I could always watch a baseball game, especially live, and fully enjoy myself. Well, only Giants or Red Sox games (maybe even the Phillies now, but just maybe); the rest of the teams don't matter as much. Baseball is just so American. Sitting in a ballpark in the summer, eating a hot dog with your ballcap on, enjoying the sunshine and people around you...there's just nothing better.

For me, as I've mentioned before, the Giants are just so much more special. I went to a ton of A's games when I was younger because my mom works for the newspaper and got free tickets (after all these years we STILL don't get free Giants' tickets. A darn shame I know), but it was just never the same. The fans, the stadium, the team, just none of it compared to the wonderful San Francisco Giants. Going to SBC Park and donning the orange and black while watching the G-Men take the field is just SO much better. Maybe I'm biased because my dad is from San Francisco and raised us as 49er and Giants fans, but honestly, what team is better??

  1. Oh my gosh. No team is better. The Giants are just so incredibly amazing. I am so jealous that you got to watch the game today! There is nowhere for me to watch it and I was following what was going on, but that was almost worse! Just knowing that these amazing things were going on (Timmy's sick change, DeRosa's HR, Bengie scoring on a sac fly!?! haha) and not being able to see it all was excruciating. We have to hit up AT&T Park as much as possible this summer. Have. To.
