This weekend the San Francisco Giants will be matching up with the Philadelphia Phillies to see who will be the champion of the National League...and advance to the World Series to face either the NY Yankees or the Texas Rangers.

Giant fans can be crazy..and creative...take a peek at this youtube video this young lad put together about his fave team...this kid can sing too.....







Go Giants!

does Engerlund field a baseball team?

the best in the world play American baseball...the very best from Japan, Australia, Dominican, Cuba, Mexico, Canada, Korea, Venez...Veunzw...South America...you name it.

Anyone who knows or plays baseball that is any good plays it in the Major Leagues...when Engerlund fields a baseball team...you'll be invited to the World Series

First things first...the Giant's win their division...the National League West.......then their best player...Tim Lincecum drops a F bomb....

I have submitted yer concerns to MLB and have been told they're considering changing the World Series to "World...with the exception of Europe and Africa and anyone else who doesn't play baseball...Series"...hope this helps out.

The name comes from a Chigago newspaper "The Chicago World" not the normal usage as in World Cup.

Could you also ask them to refer to the game as rounders, so the likes of me and winton will know what they are on about.

How did my team Cubs go this year? That fucking nosehair bloke has a lot to answer for, getting me involved with them.

The Cubs had a tough season o/c....they were in last place for a while and in danger of being relegated to the same division as Nottingham...but they managed to rally at the end of the season and finish 5th in their 6 team division........

but...for all Cub fans...hope springs eternal....and we carn't wait till next April when another 162 game regular season starts...

tonite is game 1 of the World Series.....

some say Willie Mays was the great Giant in history....has there ever been a cooler sports tune penned for an individual?....

[tommiecoughlin]

The home town team won the first game of the best of 7 series 11-7 last night...it was a great evening if you were a Giants fan.

Bruce Jenkins...the best sports writer in America...IMHO of course...penned this story on the scene....

Major League Baseball won't allow much on youtube...other than fans phone camera stuff that they have no control over...sos the highlights carn't be viewed:

but...84 year-old Tony Bennett...did a fabulous rendition of the 7th inning standard..."God Bless America"....that has been sung at the major ball games ever since 9/11...I got chills when he sang it.

[tommiecoughlin]

if it goes the full 7 games...about a week and a half....if the Giants sweep... it ends this Sunday...but that's doubtful...as the series moves to Texas this Saturday...and the Rangers play velly good in Taxez.
