A Call To Arms

Pennant Fever. Imagine that.

This weekend is going to be wild beyond believe. It's been 7 years since this town has had a NL West champion. Steve Finley's grand slam in 2004 seemingly knocked the Giants into oblivion, rendered irrelevant, and when Bonds retired, there was seemingly no reason to watch other than to catch the occasional Lincecum start.

Well, that electric feeling from 2002 is back. The crowd is different, the faces are different, but the energy is all the same. Fans were chanting "Lets Go Giants" all the way down the ramp at the conclusion of the game, and Townsend street is buzzing with anticipation for that which cannot be said right now.

Three games lead. Three games to go. The San Diego Padres is all that stands between the Giants and the post season. It's been far too long. This town is hungry for a winner, and they deserve one.

Let's do this thing. The password, as usual, is jctgamer,

Wow

I feel like I should go run through a wall or something now.

Utter frustration and futility.

Rec'd

Was that Sabaton in the sound track?

Watching the footage of the Giants entering the field on opening day….it seems like just yesterday. What a season.

I will be there tomorrow. I missed the early 2000’s while away at college. I have never been more excited about a game than right now.

I loved it :)

The Giants should hire you for their pre-game vidoes. Yours are better than theirs.

I hope we can get some chanting monks to do the anthem tomorrow.

This looks like a good place to ask this

I would like to go to the game tomorrow. However, because my wife cannot make it, I am forced to go alone. This is the reason why I have not secured tickets. I don’t want to go and sit by myself at the park. I need somebody to talk to.

If anybody has a last minute cancellation and needs to get rid of one ticket and doesn’t mind talking to me, I would gladly pay for that ticket at market value. Within reason of course, I don’t think I can afford a 400 dollars club seat or something like that, but 50-60 bucks for a view reserve seat is perfectly reasonable for me.
