Is today The Day?

Shame on me for not keeping up my blog throughout this postseason, but here we are one win away from the Giants first World Series victory since moving to San Francisco in 1958--an historic occasion, indeed. I'd like to think that my grandma's been looking down on all this, giving them some kind of spiritual lift, but I know perfectly well that she didn't give two shits about baseball. She'd be happy for me that my team is doing well, though. So instead I can't help thinking of my grandpa, Lou Luini Sr. (peace be upon him) who, along with my dad, have been following the team ever since that first season back in '58 (and the Seals before that). He passed away back in '82, in what was basically a dark time for the organization. So I hope he's up there somewhere and enjoying it. And my dad, luckily, is still with us. So let's do it for him, eh? GO GIANTS!!!
