San Francisco Giants Win World Series

I was rooting for the Texas Rangers, but I have to acknowledge the San Francisco Giants were the better team.

*Sniff* No more baseball until April....

San Francisco Giants Win National League Championship

I confess this will be a short lived alliance. All I wanted was for a certain team from Pennsylvania to not make it to the World Series. My wish was rated. I have never heard a crowd of 60K+ go so quiet, so fast, as when Ryan Howard struck out lookig to end the game.

I do enjoy watching the teams celebrate, no matter who they are. Baseball is such a great game.

The World Series match up is the Texas Rangers v. San Francisco Giants. We have a red state v. blue state, George W. Bush v. Nancy Pelosi contest brewing. I would be pulling for Texas regardless of politics, since they have never been to the World Series, but the cultural implications are fun to note.

George Steinbrenner (1930-2010)

The New York Yankees owner who lead the team to eleven pennants and seven world championships died of a massive heart attack this morning. He certainly made baseball interesting over the years.

It is poetic for him to pass away the day of the MLB All Star game.

Godspeed, Mr. Steinrenner.
