I miss the VOTE FOR PABLO insanity. But I think, even though we lost, it ended up for the best. Pablo is surprised and happy that we turned out in such large numbers to vote for him. He said thank you to the fans via Facebook (if that’s really him). In turn, fans thanked him for being so awesome. He loves us back. Before this week, lots of Giants fans loved Pablo. I think this past week cemented the mutual love.

Pablo is probably one of the most likable Giants to come up in a long time. There have been others who have just been non hate-able, but Pablo is truly likable.
