It's over.

[gridlore]

Anaheim Angels: 4
San Francisco Giants: 1

Angels win the Series 4-3.

Livan Hernandez. After blowing Game 3, he comes back and gives up four runs in three innings in Game 7. Had we started Reuter, we might have won. After Hernandez was pulled, the Giants' pitching staff nailed the Angels down, but the damage was done.

Also we failed to take advantage of scoring opportunities. Too many times we'd get men into scoring position and strand them there.

Well, we lost the game. It was a good year that fell a little short. We have nothing to be ashamed of. But it still hurts.

The image I'll take with me is the lil' bat guy bawling his eyes out. Poor little guy.

Darren Baker is absolutely adorable - and is going to be one hell of a ballplayer in about 20 years if he keeps his enthusiasm up. And gridlore heard that he was crying more because this meant the season was over, and he doesn't get to be a bat boy anymore...which, considering how seriously he takes his duties, I can completely understand.

For some reason this hurts worse than us losing in '89.

I guess there were more important things in '89, and '89 was sorta a fait accompli.

Next year, maybe, if we can keep our hands on Dusty and Jeff and Brian Sabean...

Couldn't we have paired the starting pitching of Game
6 with the bullpen of Game 7?

I still can't shake the feeling that if "we" couldn't
pull it out yesterday, we didn't deserve it. :-C

<sigh>

P.S.: Hey. I've a canoe. I was trying to think of
whom to float in the Cove with, during some home game
next season, and I don't think there's a bigger
Giants fan in my circle of acquaintances.

If we had started Woody, and let him pitch through the fifth inning or so, things would have been very differerent.

I'd love a chance to go spend a game in McCovy Cove.

The tentative 2003 is up here:

I'm sorry, hon. I heard it on the news this morning, and thought about you instantly. Wish it had turned out differently.
