Winning before midnight

The boys of summer are back! It took a while, but the Giants found a way to finally get those much needed runs.  The win tonight at 11:35pm was critical for their survival in 2014. And boy was it torturous!  Of course the Dodgers helped with keystone cops defense, but we'll take it. How great was it to see Gregor Blanco with a lead-off Home Run, and the rookies, Joe Panik and Andrew Susac showing they're ready for the big time with key hits. 
The veterans also got it done, Peavy, Pence, Crawford, all proving that baseball is a team sport, Yasiel Puig and the rest of the Dodgers are you listening? Of course the boys in blue keep pointing to the standings, but the season is not over yet! A big shout out to the A's too who seem to rediscover their winning ways.  Nothing like having a a six run lead in the first inning. Both bay area baseball teams appear  to be channeling their earlier season winning ways, and it couldn't come at a better time. As for my first USTA combo season match, my partner and I lost and so did our team, but it's only the first match and we like baseball fans in the bay area are  true believers. Good night and let's win tomorrow...or is it today now!
