    How 'bout them Giants?

    They came back from near-elimination twice during the playoffs then swept the much-favored Tigers four games straight.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    there's a bonfire at the intersection of 23rd and mission. all we've seen here are fireworks and cars honking (i live on a freeway offramp for two different freeways so the cars come by naturally).

    My daughter is wearing her 2012 World Series shirt to school today to honor the Giants.

    Of course, it is a Freddy Sanchez-replica jersey type.

    I think Freddy is done in SF. Scutaro is about to get a BIG payday.

    What are you talking about, Pat? They won almost a third of their games last season.

    Yeah, we know. It's a real shame too.

    I wonder if he can play shortstop? The Pirates would take him back (and the Pirates Fanatics want him back!), but they're pretty set at 2nd now with Neil Walker.

    I think he can, it's just that he would have to be willing to take an incentive laden contract because of his injury history. Freddy was never really healthy the whole time he was with the Giants.

    Freddy is a great competitor, there is no doubt. It's just too bad he keeps getting hurt.

    Speaking of the Pirates, what happened in the second half?

    You have no idea. When they were both in their prime, he and Jack Wilson were magic together. Unfortunately, they didn't have much of a team around them.

    Come to think of it, he can play short; I forgot about that. Hmmm.
