Tears of Joy.

That's right, THE GIANTS WON THE WORLD SERIES!! Finally, SF has a world series title to call their own.

Sadly though, I had class this morning so I couldn't follow the game online, although I was sorely tempted to skip. Upon returning to my room though and finding out, I'll admit I shed a few tears of joy.

Who would've thought  at the beginning of this year that the Giants would go all the way? Not many. Regardless, that's the beauty of sports. So go ahead and celebrate San Francisco, it's definitely long-over due. I'd give anything to be there now myself.

But since I can't, I'll celebrate here on my own in Beijing (where no one I've met follows baseball).

PS. For those of you who couldn't care less about baseball, you'll be happy know that the World Series marks the end of the baseball season in the United States. After today, there shouldn't be any more baseball-related posts. Well..at least maybe not until the spring agian.

So long Giants! Amazing job this year and we'll see you again in 2011!

If you think baseball is boring...

here's why it's not: SF Giants' riveting approach just can't be called baseball

See? You were just rooting for the wrong team the entire time.

And for those of you who could care less about baseball, I promise more China-related posts will be coming soon. Sorry for the delay, I was unexpectedly swamped with homework this week.

Until then, GO GIANTS!

Best in the West: SF Giants!

I'm now going to interrupt my normally China-related content for a shout out to the San Francisco Giants.

This morning, I awoke to the news that the Giants beat the San Diego Padres 3-0 to win the National League West championship. That means the Giants will be moving to the playoffs for the first time since 2003.

It's been a nail-bitter month for SF Giants with the constant shuffling of NL West standings but it's all worth it now since they've emerged on top. It's a bummer though that I've had to observe this all this baseball drama from 6,000 miles (9,500 km) away, though.

Now off to the playoffs. Go Giants!
