Oh, Ashkon has done it again! Not content with having his San Francisco Giants version of Don’t Stop Believing becoming the anthem for the Giants when they won the World Series in 2010, he waited until the 2012 Giants won the World Series to do this.. We Are The Champions, there could be no other, could there?
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!
San 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!
For the past few months there have been new anti homophobic bullying videos posted by both Irish and International organizations. Each one with the same message, we’re all the same, gay, straight bi, whatever.
I’m delighted to see that the San Francisco Giants have joined the ‘It Gets Better‘ project in the U.S. Professional sports is still an area where they’re aren’t many openly gay people.
Have a look!
