Oh well, that's the way of a fan sometimes.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kevin_standlee&ditemid=2083575" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2017-04-09:2997074:1758401Giants Win!2018-06-07T05:47:02Z2018-06-07T05:47:02Zhappypublic0I got to <em>see</em>, not just listen, to a San Francisco Giants game today because this afternoon's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks was a Facebook Game of the Week. I could put it on one screen while doing Day Jobbe on the other. It was Giants Torture again, but this time we came out ahead, with a home run in the bottom of the 9th with two outs to tie the game, and then a walk-off hit in the 10th to win it.<br /><br />As soon as the game ended, Lisa and I ran in to Reno/Sparks for some shopping errands (and also had dinner at the Peppermill Buffet). I have more news to report, this time about Worldcon, but it's late and I'm up way past my bedtime, so it will have to wait for tomorrow.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kevin_standlee&ditemid=1758401" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
