Heartbreaker

|

The heartbreaker of Sunday was the Giants losing the World Series to the Angels in Game 7. Everything felt fine until the seventh inning of Game 6, when Anaheim hit that critical three-run home run. At that very moment, I felt this wave of impending doom wash over me and I just couldn't bear to watch anymore.

The negatives from this series...
  • the Giants lost
  • illogically, their loss has bummed me out and I feel bitter
  • this was most likely Barry Bonds' first and last chance for a World Series ring
  • the deafening thunder sticks and the wild rally monkey will be back next season
The positives (yes, they exist)...
  • according to baseball experts (whoever they are), the Giants were the least likely postseason team to make it to the World Series
  • the Giants won 3 games, including the 16 run Angels clobbering
  • Bonds did make it to a World Series
  • Bonds walked 13 times, had 4 home runs, and was on base 70% of the time
  • a California team still won, showing that West Coast baseball teams rock
