Thank You Giants
I was trying to put into words what I’ve been feeling for the greater part of the last twenty-four hours, but I can’t. As cliché as it sounds, there aren’t any words to describe this feeling.
So as I wait to gather myself from this high, I simply just want to thank the boys. I want to thank the loveable cast of misfits that is our San Francisco Giants. After the curse of the game ball that was handed out to Russ Ortiz by Dusty Baker in 2002, I honestly felt that I wouldn’t live to see the day San Francisco wins its first World Series pennant.
Last night, the short-lived curse was put to rest. But for the fans who’ve been waiting decades for this moment, it was more than that. History was made. Life is good. Thank you boys.

I’m sure it made your Tuesday fly by! I actually never heard of the Russ Ortiz curse… I’m sure not too many people have heard of the Curse of the Wash either though!

Man this Tuesday has been surreal.
I don’t know if anyone else considers it a curse the way I do, but it’s not Russ Ortiz, it’s Dusty Baker’s doing. You don’t hand a pitcher the game ball in front of the opposing team and their crowd, with seven outs remaining. Needless to say, Anaheim came back on us.
It felt like a curse to me, and I thought I wouldn’t live to see it broken.
Anyway, I’m just so happy right now, couldn’t work all day 🙂
The curse of the Wash? Yeah, I have no clue. Tell me about it!

Hahaha! That’s kinda like my randomness on how we are cursed because Ron Washington left and we picked Geren to manage the team instead! https://doin-work.com/2009/07/06/the-curse-of-the-wash/

Yeah man, he’s a great manager, a player’s manager. It’s easier to say this now, but if we were to lose to a guy, I wouldn’t mind it being him.

Here’s a post from my old blog talking about it. Finally, the ghosts of 2002 have been put to rest.

Next up for the club is how Sabean will deal with restricted and impending free agents on the team . No doubt some tough decisions will be made this offseason but I think we know that the core players will be their to make a defense of their crown next season !
