World Series Champions...

Do me a favor and log off right now if you're not a SF Giant's fan because that's what this blog is all about. I won't be offended, we can just agree to disagree :)

Over the past week or so I've been a nervous wreck, my stomach has been in knots and although I've wanted to blog, I just couldn't put my finger on what the problem was and so I stayed away. Well, that feeling is gone now and it's because I was nervous for the San Francisco Giant's. Although my family LOVES the funny group of misfits this year, we still walked around holding our stomachs, wishing that they could pull it off. Honestly, we really never imagined that they truly would. I mean...the freakin' WORLD SERIES baby!!

Let's start with John...boy I love this man and his dedication to his loyal G-men :) I think John bleeds orange and black, I truly do. He would wake up every morning and watch the Ashkon video religiously and walk away with a tear in his eye, just dreaming of the day in which they'd win the pennant! Between texting and phone calls, John and his sisters, brother-in-law, and step-father would communicate non-stop throughout the games leading to the world series. Once it started to get real serious (when we could truly envision it), they would stick to just texting, no phone calls allowed. After the games John would post inspirational messages on Facebook for all to enjoy :) Like I said, I love this man!!

Now there's Johnny who wore a Giant's shirt once when they lost, so the entire series he decided not to wear any Giant's garb for fear of jinxing them. He showed his dedication in a different way :)

Then there's Jordan who went for Halloween as a Giant's Fairy and wanted to "make all of their wildest dreams come true" and she did!! She doesn't sit and watch the games, she listens from the other room as she plays on the computer, but when her favorite's are up to bat, she walks in and cheers them on :)

Then there's me...I love them all. I got sad when John was talking about some of the players being "free agents" and how we may lose some of them next year. What?! No!!!!! Between The Freak (or The Franchise), Fear the Beard (or B-Weeze), MadBum, Uuuuu-ribe, Panda, Pat the Bat, "emergency appendectomy", rally thong (or Huff Daddy), Chez, Javie, Shotgun Cain (or Workhorse), Buster, MVP (Renteria), Smiley, etc. I've grown a little attached. This season has meant so much more to me than just another year, it's meant A LOT. With the loss of John's mom (whom we swear has been the angel in the outfield a lot lately) and with my cancer, there hasn't been a lot to look forward to...and so THANK YOU San Francisco Giant's for making us smile and laugh again. Thank you for a wonderful season of America's favorite pastime, and thank you for making me feel whole again. Here's to the San Francisco Giant's ~ the World Series Champions!!!!!

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
