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.
