My Top 5 Moments of the 2014 World Series
Are you sick of my baseball rants yet? Too bad, you’ve got one more to go. Feel blessed you weren’t (or were) around in 2010, because I think it was much worse. I just couldn’t let the season go without acknowledging my favorite plays/moments/memories of the 2014 World Series. I’ll get back to your regular scheduled program of love, sex and heartbreak as soon as I’m done. So without further adieu, and in no particular order … 1. The double-play seen around the world. When Hos

Lords of the Rings.
Written October 31, 2014. It’s 7:10am as I type this, but I’ve been up since 3. At about 6:30am, I got out the shower and proceeded to play Queen’s “We Are The Champions” over the airport , so that it was just loud enough to hear upstairs as I got ready. I grabbed the white jacket hanging in the back of my closet that’s a size too big for me, and took it off its hanger. Then, I cried. I don’t wear that jacket. It’s a Medium (I’m a small), it’s all white (I’m clumsy) and it’s

Postseason BaesBall.
It’s been forever since I posted pics, so I figured a visual update of my postseason would be a nice way to reintroduce them. Obviously, I’ve been busy. And quote honest – nervous. Us Giants fans have been spoiled, and I don’t like the idea of making it this far and not winning it all. I loved my Giants before 2010, and will regardless. I’d just love to celebrate come Game 6/7 instead of mourn.

Where the Wild Things Are.
Editor’s Note: I am not a sports aficionado, I just love the San Francisco Giants and (sadly) believe that baseball should be about the love for the game more than the business. Even this article was hard for me to write. I had to really take a moment to rid myself of all my overprotective mom emotions in an attempt to write objectively. Let’s just say I did the best I could. I can’t help but wonder if those who agree with Schoenfield have been watching the same games as I ha

The Hunt For Orange October.
September baseball is nearing its end, and the hunt for orange October is upon us. This means I will be drinking a lot more than usual, and once again blabbering away about my beloved SF Giants. As you know, I love them. Basketball is my sport, but the SF Giants is my team. I was watching a game recently where Brandon Crawford made a hit that was a turning point in the game. It was followed by Kruk and Kuip commentary about how Barry Bonds guest coached the team every now and

Buns and Baseball.
With the exception of my extremely brief stint in NY, I’ve lived in San Francisco longer than most of you have been alive. Still, there are so many places I have yet to see. I’ve passed Moraga Street at least 100 times in my lifetime, yet never stepped foot on the 16th Ave. steps until last week. After seeing a friend post an IG picture of them, I decided to change up my usual lake run and work my glutes on the stairs instead. I made it all the way to the second to last set o

Baes-ball.
Watching the game the other day made me realize that we have one of the best looking baseball teams out there. Asides from my bias opinion that the San Francisco Giants are one of the best teams out there PERIOD, our players really are fucking handsome. I did a post about my starting line-up (in the bedroom) back in 2010, so it’s only right I do it again starting with … Ryan Vogelsong. When Vogey replaced Zito in 2011, it was actually his second stint with SF, and I am so gla

Beat LA.
Second game of the season, with plenty more to come. Just a few pics from last week’s offsite. I basically drank from 12pm to 12am, and woke up with no hangover! My mom would be so proud. Beer, baseball, sheboygan’s and co-workers I can also call friends. We may not have beat L.A. that day (we still took the series sonnnn), but we were definitely still winning.

Stick With You.
From breaking things in the apartment during Warrior games, to volunteering for the SF Giants commercials, the last few weeks of my life have revolved heavily around sports. But the highlight was definitely touring the ‘Stick. Although Candlestick Park is where I first fell in love with the San Francisco Giants, I obviously have ridiculous love for the 49ers and all their faithfuls. I got goosebumps walking through the hallways, and almost cried in the locker room (not to be

Oh, Hey Boo.
There are very few reasons I’d ever wake up before the sun rises without getting paid. Not surprisingly, the SF Giants are one of them. Spent a looooong day at the yard today to particulate in the 2014 commercials featuring Romo, Pence and my new boo, Brandon Belt. Seriously. I never knew how handsome he was until I saw him in person. Pagan you better watch out. #sfgiants #brandonbelt #baseball #atamptpark #sanfrancisco

‘Cuz It’s 1-2-3 Strikes You’re Out, In The Old Ball Game!
Last week I was lucky enough to catch two games against the Dodgers in some of the best seats I’ve had at the park thus far. On Tuesday, a lady from another floor happened to wander into the office with free field club tickets asking if there were any Giants fans in the office. You should’ve seen my face! Fortunately, my friend Naomi was free that night to come with. Unfortunately, we lost. Thank God the homie Harry took me out to the ballgame the very next day with FC seats

Big Time Timmy Jim!
The Giants haven’t been doing so well lately (I don’t care if it’s only July), but we all saw a champ during last Saturday’s game against the Padres when Tim Lincecum nabbed the 7th no-hitter in Giants history! Obviously, I almost cried watching. There’s nothing like seeing your favorite team acting like a bunch of little kids on the field. Congratulations Timmy, and shout out to Panda, Blanco, and Pence for having his back! #sfgiants #busterhugs #busterposey #timlincecum #no

Bitches, Beers and Balls.
Photo courtesy of USA TODAY Sports Personally, there’s close to nothing better than watching a day game at AT&T Park on a sunny afternoon. Yesterday I did just that, and the tussle above between Bumgarner and Guzman was the second best thing to happen next to us winning the series. Between tensions rising in the NL West and the NBA finals – I’m exhausted. Not to mention slowly developing a baby beer belly. Thank God I get a break during football season, and have yet to attend

You Can Take the Girl Out SF, But Not the SF Out the Girl.
Saturday morning I woke up 2 hours later than I should’ve. I grudgingly walked around the corner to buy some coffee, then dillydally’d my way through breakfast and took a shower. I have this thing about going to events by myself. I’m lightweight terrified of it. While I’m a friendly person, it’s hard for me to make friends. I’m extremely shy and awkward, especially when I’m by myself. But that was the day bthe World Series trophy tour made a stop at my favorite bar in New Yor

If You Love Something Set It Free. If It Comes Back To You, It’s Yours To Keep. If It Doesn
Pagan and Torres at the same damn time? I mean on the same damn team?! I’m gonna be sore in the morning – I mean I’m gonna be cross-eyed in the outfield. Although they’re almost the same person to me and Torres is one of the people we gave up for Pagan, I’m obviously not the least bit mad he’s coming back home. SANTA. IS. REAL. #sfgiants #angelpagan #hotbaseballplayers #outfield #nymets #andrestorres #baseball

Love and Baseball – Throwback Thursday 11.04.10
Wow. Has it been that long since we won the World Series already? Seems just like yesterday. Crazy. Anyway, just wanted to reiterate how magical of a journey the entire post-season was. As much as I’d love to win it again, it just wouldn’t be the same. THIS IS NOT A POST ABOUT BASEBALL. So no need to take me off your google reader just yet. However, this IS a post about family. About friends. About memories. About putting a dent in ones bucket list. It’s about a legacy.About

Last Weekend in Pictures.
Last weekend started at work with two margaritas, a Saporo, a Shock Top, and a shot of Patron, and ended with me statting five games back to back until I became cross eyed. Exhausting to say the least, but amazing nevertheless. Lots of work, and even more play, with some running in between. I just wanted to thank everyone who came to Gail’s fundraiser Sunday. I see all the support she has, and just know she’s going to be OK.
