The Giants win the pennant!

Against the odds, in the rain, with Pence's Bat of God moment...

Wow.

It wasn't the way I would have drawn it up, kids, but what a way to get to the World Series. Don't stop now.

(I had hoped for some Zito/Lincecum celebratory mud-wrestling on that sloppy field, but alas.)

Nah, sorry-- my brother just got married and we've had the whole clan here in DC for it. Since Dad's half of the family is all from SF, that basically meant we watched the games every night. (Even on the night of the wedding, they were all checking their phones, it was hilarious.)

(I also nearly committed parracide when my St. Louis aunt's first comment to me when arriving was, "Oh, the Nats? Don't they spell that G-N-A-T-S?" Seriously, there was almost straight up murder. I have never savored tears so delicious as those of my St. Louis family when the Giants kicked the crap out the Cardinals in the last two games.)

G-N-A-T-S?












*facepalm* Oh wow. How long did it take them to come up with that one?

I'm glad you were able to exact some measure of retribution, in the end.
