Go Giants!

It was 1993, and Atlanta was still in the NL West.

In the final days of the season, the Giants had to win four games in a row against the (.500) Dodgers in order to force a playoff game against the Braves. I drove from my job in Big Bear to Dodger Stadium (75 miles one way) to attend each of those games.

When the Giants lost the last game of the series (ending the season with a paltry 103 wins to Atlanta's 104), I swore never to love (sports) again.

Though I have subsequently become a Dodgers fan, I have never found it within myself to root against the Giants. So, long story short:

Dear Giants,

Please f**k up the Braves for me. Thanks.

John

Youth! Before you start to move, you should set the direction. For example the voyages, we must first set a destination, halfway to the pointer, just pointing in this direction, in order to have reached the destination of the day. If the direction is uncertain, with the wind drift, fear never reach the day.
