NLCS Bound!

Yay! After winning today's (well, technically yesterday's) game 4 versus the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta the Giants are off to face the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday at the National League Championship Series.

I unfortunately had class this morning so I couldn't listen to the game today. I'm not sure if that was a blessing or a curse. I guess at least I didn't spend the morning biting my nails to the quick. Regardless, onward Giants to the next game!

(Okay, okay, I realize most, if not all, of you don't care about how the Giants do in the MLB playoffs. But since I have no one to share this joy with here in China, I share with it with you guys via the Internet. Sorry you're just going to have to deal with it.)

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!
