Giant Misery

I've been a big Giants fan since the age of 4. My dad took me to a game at Candlestick and, according to him, I sat rapt with attention throughout the game. A few years later he took me back and I remember yelling at the umpire to get some glasses. (I think I heard this insult in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.) Anyway, a love affair was born and has continued through two world series (both losses), cold and windy nights at the stick, season tickets at new, warmer and more yuppified Pac Bell Park, Barry's home run records and grand jury testimony and through this disappointing season.

For the best Giants blog on the planet, I turn to Lefty Malo. My friend Alex combines astute Giants commentary with hilarious pop culture references. He even manages to throw in a few high minded literary and political references. He's a great writer and has nice tickets in the left field bleachers.
