I Don't Not Love The Giants

i can't directly say what i want because we all know what happens to things i love.

lately, i've learned something about myself. i'm not a giants fan just because i like looking at buster posey. i am just as heavily invested in the team despite my favorite being out for the rest of the season. currently nate schierholtz is my favorite but not for the same reasons as buster posey (i'm superficial, remember?).

i'm superstitious to the point where i might have OCD. for the games i've been to this season i've worn my buster posey shirt along with my $5 hat while carrying my personalized jersey and the team has won each time. if i don't pay attention a rally gets started. i can't follow the game online because they tend to lose when i do. if i'm watching the game on tv and they're losing i change the channel and they tend to do better.

granted i probably can't decide the fate of a game let alone an entire season but who am i to question what works? besides, with buster posey and a chunk of the team out a little extra luck doesn't hurt. no worries about the OCD because i have ADD too which will distract me from whatever i am OCDing about so it'll balance out.

it was really nice getting to go to a bunch of games this season. twice i got to sit in seats so good i could tell who the players were without looking at the billboard. did you know the material around the pockets are thicker so it looks as though some of the players are wearing orange underwear? (don't judge me). if only buster posey was playing. i could've taken a really nice close-up shot of him or maybe even rushed the field to kidnap....hug him.

but i like the cheap seats more. the fans seem more likely to sing along to stuff and cheer loudly vs politely clapping and talking about how wonderful it is to have vegetarian options at the ball park. go eat a hot dog and live, dang it. also the guy who wears the orange wrestling mask only works up the crowd in the nosebleed sections.

i don't know what's going to happen this season but i don't care because i really like the team whether we win or lose. however if somehow me being there betters their chances of a repeat then i think it would be wise for you hardcore giants fans out there to buy me tickets.
