Friends, Romanians, paisanos de Giants Nation--allow me to introduce myself. Or better yet, like a nervous late-bloomer on a first date, allow me to confess what's wrong with me in the hopes of getting the hard part out of the way first. I am a San Francisco Giants fanatic, a dyed-in-the-woolen uniforms disciple, a devotee of the orange and black whose life is hijacked every spring and taken on the wildest of rides until the leaves change back East and someone in Los Angeles remembers that seasons exist. (Sound familiar?)
And lest I get too much further carried off by prose with all the grace of LIvan Hernandez legging out a triple, let me put a stop to this needless introduction. Thank you for reading, and for visiting this new corner of Giants Nation. I hope my enthusiasm for the Giants--and my desire to be completely objective and candid, team passion notwithstanding--will make this an interesting spot for after the game. I'll offer up whatever insights I might have on the 2006 season, and I hope others will contribute as well. This is shaping up to be the last hurrah for the Old Guard, so let's see if we can't finally get Scott Spiezio to grab some pine and lay the ghosts of 2002 to rest. Hum baby, here we go again!
