    San Francisco Giants: E-40: Win Something (Update SF Giants Style!)

    Every Postseason needs a song. In 2010, the unofficial San Francisco Giants anthem was Askon with Don’t Stop Believing. For the second time in three years, the Giants are about to start Game 1 in the first round of the NLCS. Tonight, they take on the Cincinnati Reds.

    The prospect of a BayBridge World Series is go! As the Oakland A’s are through to the postseason too.

    To reach the next stage, all the Giants have to do is win three out of the next five games. Here’s this years anthem, E-40 with Win Something. It will be interesting to see if it takes off like DSB did as it’s not as immediately sing-along-able. Either way, we’re in for a great couple of weeks of baseball.

    I’ve got my Barry Bonds Sweatshirt and my 2010 orange rally rag ready for tonight. First pitch 0237.. yip, A.M.

    EDIT: E-40 has just been challenged by an opponet.. SFGiants Style!

    Tune of The Week 21/09/2012: De La Soul

    SF GIANTS CELEBRATEAs a San Francisco Giants fan, this week has been awesome. The team have left the opposition in the dust and are now ten games ahead of the Dodgers. Things seem to be just coming right for the Giants at the right time, Buster Posey, Angel Pagan and now Pablo Sandoval are all hitting well and Pablo hot two home runs last night as well as two three run shots in consecutive games. Defense is good and even Aubrey Huff came to the plate last night and doubled.

    Life is good and now the Magic Number isn’t just falling, it’s rapidly dropping. What is the magic Number? It’s any combination of Giants Wins and Dodgers losses that mean the Giants will win the National League West. As of 16.04 GMT The Magic Number is 3.

    It’s hard to believe that it’s two years since the Giants won the World Series, before that they hadn’t won one in San Francisco. Just because they won two years ago doesn’t mean there isn’t as much hype or eagerness this time round. The team know what 2010 was like, they want it again. So do I! Roll on the Postseason!

  • The Franchise: A Season With The San Francisco Giants Episode One

    thefranchiseI love baseball! I got hooked when I spent a summer as an insomniac unable to sleep til 7am every morning. As San Francisco is such a fantastic place (yes I want to live there), I adopted the Giants. First thing I do every morning, if I haven’t seen or heard the previous night’s game, is check the result. Last night The Giants Beat LA 5-0. One of the horrible things about being over 5000 miles or 8170 kilometres from where your favourite sports team are is missing stuff like this on television. Thank goodness for the internet and for BWeezy’s beard!

  • San Francisco Giants’ All Stars

    all star giants - picture from sfgiants.comSan Francisco Giants. This year’s All Star Game takes place on July 12 at Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona, where as a side note, there is also a Gaelic Football Club.

    Anyway, this year’s representatives from the Giants are all from the pitching staff and feature Brian Wilson (the ultimate sports star), Matt Cain (who I’m thrilled for, he’s amazing pitcher), Tim Lincecum (who is five years in the big leagues and an all star four times) and Ryan Vogelsong who will be at the game for the first time. He was brought into the Giant’s rotation went Barry Zito got injured.

    He was originally a Giant between 2000-2001 and recently played in Japan.  It probably helps that Giants’  manager Bruce Bochy is the NL Team Manager for the All Star Game. YAY!
