The Daily News
1 Giants!!! Happy Halloweeeeeeeen!!!! 2 The game is on as of this writing, but I'm pretty much certain that the Giants are going to win this won. Ooops! One. Singular sensation.3 Either way, last night midway through Halloween, my daughter Nicole started a rousing round of John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Not "Smith". "Schmidt." I asked, and she lay down good knowledge.
4 I love Halloweeeeeeeeen!!!
5 Dayum.
6 Yesterday turned into a GORGEOUS day!
7 I had held myself prisoner to the grading of papers, did all I could to keep it going, and eventually gave in to the Series, to Halloween, and to loving life!
8 It all worked, although the night before last, not so good.
9 I went to bed pretty early because of the horrid performance by the Giants, especially the inability to lift Jonathan Sanchez by Bochy, and I had to take TWO walks around the block to cool off.
10 Eventually, I hit the hay. I awoke at around 2 a.m. and totally freaked out! So I woke up, TRIPPIN' that not only hadn't I written up the good ol' DN, but that I had NO lesson plan for Mondeeeeee!!!
11 In my tween time, which is the time between illusion and reality upon waking, I began an emergency DN, in which I envisioned the Bush's sending a thug to Bochy to be sure that, "If your boy isn't getting hit by the fifth, he might."
12 I also thought that these creeps rigged the game so that they and the Cheney mafia would reap billions on gambling assets. You don't need to talk to too many players to make them an offer they can't refuse, you know.
13 Then the fog lifted, and I realized that I was just paranoid about not having my stuff together.
14 And only THEN did I realize that public schools aren't in session on Sundays.
15 America is too busy worshipping football.
16 And so I slept...
17 Last night I slept much better. First, my prediction about the Giants was fulfilled. At no point in the evening did I ever feel the Giants weren't going to win last night. I had spent the entire day working on school stuff, so by game time, I had my particles in place.
18 I played Ashkon (I hope that's spelled correctly, because it's the middle of the night and I'm WAY to sleepy to look it all up!), and put on my Giants' garb, which consists of a beat-up old Giants' hat, a black tee-shirt, Lou Seal sunglasses, and a piece of orange yarn around my neck. I think the most expensive thing was the sunglasses, which cost me five bucks midsummer.
19 I knew going in that our pitcher, Madison Bumgarner, was miles better than their guy. I also finally learned how to spell "Bumgarner".
20 Just a great night, with little Halloween kids knocking on the door, and we even had some people in their thirties and forties with candy bags.
21 We put beards on LCD lit pumpkins, and a Giants' hat on the biggest. It was fun when the husbands would ask the score. "Two zip! Make that three zip!"
22 And game four goes to...
23 Sooooooo fun!
24 And I have to guess that Timmeh is licking his chops and smacking his lips right now.
25 Aren't we all?
26 There's only one story out there right now, and it's all about the Giants!
27 Happy Mondeeeee!!!!
28 Now let's DO THISSSSSSSS!!!!!
29 Wooo-HOOOOO!!!
