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.)

It's so rare that there's rain like that around here! It made it more special somehow, hehe.

Man, I remember a couple of weeks ago being bummed at the thought of Zito finally being picked to start a playoff game and perhaps not even getting to play if the Giants had lost Game 3 of the NLDS.

And now and now and now! Zito, WS Game 1 winning pitcher <3

I love that Timmy relieved him. I also like this description from a journalist: "Zito and Lincecum seemed to merge as one, like some sort of heavy-lidded Transformer" hahaha.
