For the Giants, it's been an eventful season, mainly highlighted by dominant pitching and some unforgettable milestones that included the first Giant no-hitter in 33 years and Randy Johnson's 300th Win. But unfortunately, the Giants season was cut short as they were unable to make it to the postseason. With or without a pennant, don't discredit the Giants failure to make it to the playoffs, as they made it interesting and competed for the wild card all season long. Sure no season is complete without winning a ring or making it to the fall classic for some, but what this team did, was surprise everyone that doubted them wrong and proved that this team is on the horizon of competing for the division for many years to come.
In early April, this team had little to no expectations as fans and analyst's alike had no respect and or hope for this team as they were projected to be at the bottom of the standings. Instead, this team has reached and surpassed expectations, and that includes mine. Coming into the season projected to be a sub .500 team and finishing the year 14-games over .500 is a huge step forward. Who knew a solid pitching staff and a guy dubbed the nickname "Kung Fu Panda" would have kept this team alive, this late into the season? If Sabean can land us a power hitter or two, and finally live up to his 'youth movement' scheme, we could be a force to be reckoned with. I know he'll go out and acquire a big bat, I'm just curious who it'll be. Here's to a busy off season!
A little something else for us Giants fans to look forward to, is whether or not that stud in the pic above wins himself back-to-back Cy Young awards. This time he'll be up against two Cardinals, Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright. Although baseball season is reaching it's climax, one season begins where the other ends. with that being said, we welcome back Hockey. Go Sharks!
