World Series: Game 5
Game 5 of the World Series was huge for the Giants, with a 16-4 win. Jeff Kent came out of his postseason slump and blasted two two-run homers. It initially looked like the Angels were going to make a trademark comeback, but the Giants responded by widening the lead.
It should be noted that San Francisco doesn't have a rally monkey. Instead, it has the rally chicken. Fans twirl a rubber chicken above their heads whenever the opposition walks Barry Bonds. Said twirling is usually accompanied by an appropriate chicken dance.
Game 6 is tomorrow, back in Anaheim. I am really hoping that the Giants can pull it off. They haven't won a World Series in 48 years (that would be since 1954 for you math buffs) and have never won since moving to San Francisco.
