Welcome!!!

Welcome to everyone who found this blog! First things first, the man you see pictured with a healthy glass of wine in his hand, and a jim dandy White Sox shirt on, is my uncle. He is one of the finest human beings ever to walk the earth, and this blog is dedicated to him.

Secondly, I'm not really sure who would want to read anything here. As I stated before, this blog was started by me strictly for theraputic purposes at this point. If something is on here that generates a reaction in you, by all means feel free to share it. If not, that's fine too. This is a fly-by-night operation, so no pressure.

Third, we live in an era where sports information has never been more accessible. Yet somehow most of it manages to be filtered and watered down in many respects by certain media/sports networks/websites. It's my wish to have one little sanctuary where information/thoughts/feelings are free of agenda or spin, or b.s. that exists in todays sportsworld. Hopefully that will exist here.

Fourth, LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!

Thank You San Francisco Giants

I'm a little late but I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that the San Francisco Giants have completed a remarkable World Series Championship run this week, by beating the Texas Rangers 4 games to 1. This Giant team was hardly a favorite going into the regular season, let alone the postseason, for any multitude of reasons. "They don't have a slugger", "They don't have a leadoff hitter", "Zito and Rowand are killing the ballclub", etc.

None of it seemed to matter. As I was often quick to remind my friends who are Giants fans, you can NEVER have enough pitching in October. True to form, the Giants pitching rotation and bullpen lead the way, in conjunction with a lineup littered with castoffs, has-beens, and misshapen Pandas that got hot at the right time. As Assistant GM Tony Siegle said after winning Game 5 "So much for Moneyball".

The San Francisco Giants as a franchise have had many players since moving to San Francisco in 1958. Some of them remarkable, but most of them forgettable. This Giant team now closes the chapter on those greats that came before that made fans say "what if" and washes away the bad taste out the many ass-clowns that wore Giants uniforms at various points. Thank you 2010 Giants for allowing us to forget the following names :

Stu Miller, Matty Alou, Felipe Alou, Jesus Alou, Orlando Cepeda, Willie Mays, Gaylord Perry, Garry Maddox, Dave Kingman, Jack Clark, Kevin Mitchell, Steve Stone, Chris Speier, Bobby Murcer, Dan Gladden, Dave Lapoint, Bob Brenly, Will Clark, Robby Thompson, Willie McGee, Bill Swift, Jeff Brantly, Rod Beck, John Burkett, Royce Clayton, Dusty Baker, Jeff Kent, Barry Bonds, or any of the other infamous, colorful, never wills, bad guys, fan favorites, and notable players in Giants History.

We now say to you "FEAR THE BEARD". Congratulations.
