World Series: So That Was Something Else
Play that victory tune I like
I’ve been battling what my wife and I think has been a sinus infection, and alcohol really congests the heck out of me, so I haven’t been drinking like many other adults out there. I wish I could have had a beer or something, but the extreme feeling of happiness will do. I don’t know how we can process this, so I’ll just do a by the numbers thing.
0: Number of times the Giants lost in the World Series
1: Extra inning game in the World Series, and ultimately, the final game the 2012 season would see
2: Wins the Reds had against the Giants before the G-men charged back; the number of championships in three years
3: Wins the Cards had until Zito led the charge; also the number of innings the Giants trailed in the World Series
4: Wins against the Tigers in their first ever World Series matchup
6: Runs scored by the Tigers, tied for the fourth-fewest in a four-game series in MLB history
7: Consecutive wins the Giants ended their season with
11: in the morning on the 31st is when the parade will begin in San Francisco
24: Hits in the postseason by Pablo Sandoval, a club record
56: Consecutive innings the Giants were not behind
89: MPH that Sergio Romo sinker had to end the baseball season
See you at the parade.
