Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Baseball season is finally here! It was a breath of fresh air to watch the first Giants game of the season on Monday. It may have been on my computer screen at work, but it still felt amazing. Happy Opening Day!

It is an even year (2016), so that means the Giants are going to win the World Series. I can feel it.

When I first met Rory, I was relived to hear that he was a Giants fan (and a fellow 49ers fan). He was sort of destined to be one since he grew up in the Bay Area. This makes for an easy, fight free household during any sports season.

Rory and I often visit San Francisco and every time we go during baseball season, we HAVE to make a game. Last year was the exception. We went to SF to get a couch from his uncle and we didn't get to see a game because we had two cute little fans in tow. But this year, we will be back. And no, we won't be those annoying people who bring their babies to the game. Not this year at least. Next year, the girls can soak in their Giants heritage and become lifelong fans.

I remember my first game with Rory. The Giants were playing the Dodgers and it was tied 0 - 0 and Pat the Bat came up and hit a nice home run into the bleacher seats (around the Coke bottle). It sealed the win and we were some very happy fans. I may have gotten super sunburnt that game too. Ain't nobody got time for sunscreen (really, I should have reapplied it over and over again, ugh).

But really with the season starting, I am searching the Giants site for a game or three that we can attend this year. I am giddy just thinking about it.

Here is a few pictures of some of my favorite recent games.

Together, We Are Giant! 

Some Giants stats on myself:
I have been a Giants fan my whole life.
My favorite player is JT Snow. He IS and WAS the best defensive first baseman around.
Every time I travel to San Francisco for work, I treat myself to seats behind home plate. They cost a small fortune, but they are WORTH it.
I have been to more games than I can count.
I took my girls to a Giants game when they were in my belly, so they are going to be FOREVER fans as well.

Obligatory Pro Bowl Post

It is Sunday and today is the Pro Bowl.  Why am I not more excited?  Because my Niners are playing in this game.  They should be practicing for the Big Game, but the Seahawks suck and they beat us (not fairly in my opinion).  I am not bitter. Ok maybe just a bit.    The only saving grace is I get to see Jerry Rice on tv, see some Niners and watch football because hey, football is football. 

  Did I mention that football is almost over and I am really upset about that?  What am I going to do with myself until August?   Oh that's right...watch the San Francisco Giants.  That makes me a bit more happy, but I would rather watch any and all football. Here is to an amazing Giants season. Another World Series in our future?    Who do you think will win the Pro Bowl? NFC or AFC? I am betting (if I could) on the NFC!
