A sweet ending to a very tense game. Whew...
Very pleased!

Like Adrianas, Ishikawa has always been a clinch hitter! That's why Bruce Bochy has always left him in the game.
Cheers!

Grr Giants. It's tough being a Dodgers fan in Giants country.

I grew up in what became Giants country... was a happy camper when my favorite player, Willie Mays, moved west. The rivalry was palpable, but when I moved south and got to know the Dodgers, after a few years, I gave up on the rivalry in spirit. My heart will always be with the Giants, but I grew to also like the Dodgers as well. The last few years have been fun, and Ish's emulation of Bobby Thomson's 1951 "Shot heard 'round the world..." (w/ Willie on deck, btw), a 3 run walk off homer to get into the World Series is about as good as it gets for a Giants fan.
The Shot Heard 'Round The World...

It's less that I want the Giants to lose as I want the Los Angeles Dodgers to win. They've won 5 World Series in my lifetime and the Giants 2. One thing though. When the Giants do well, the whole Bay Area is nicer. This is a true thing. I also think it carries over to the fall elections.
