Work Cube Whiteboard
I’m writing this as I watch the Giants broadcasters dissect the game tonight. Let’s just say they’re a little stunned. As two of them said, they just weren’t expecting the Giants to get blown out like they did tonight. With the Giants pitching as it is, blowouts like this aren’t real common. Yet with the errors the Giants had tonight, it just wasn’t close. They spent a lot of time in their discussion stating just how good the Dodgers are this year. Bring on the spoon, because I can eat up that praise and their shock all day!
Tonight just wasn’t close. Wolf and Ethier were on and Manny just raked. It was great to see Manny hit a homerun tonight. Hopefully his hand is feeling better now. He is officially claiming the title of “Giant Killer.” He continues to step up against the Giants and it’s just great to see the fans continue to hate him all the more for being so good.
Today was a fun day because it came after the win last night. I rubbed it in to my co-workers and put the Dodgers score on my whiteboard at work (See picture). I got some great comments. I had one guy who didn’t know I was a Dodgerfan say, “Why in the world are you celebrating that the Dodgers won?” I said, “BECAUSE I’M A DODGERFAN!” He rolled his eyes and then said, “well then I’m not coming back to your cube any time soon….” Such it is. 
Another Giants fan was lamenting that the Giants just can’t catch up when they are down. Last night, I was confident the Dodgers would win with a 4-1 lead (even though I was right on Broxton), and I was right. The Giants have great pitching, but they just don’t have the offense.
The papers and the TV were touting how important this series was to the Giants. After seeing the Dodgers struggle so much with Atlanta, it’s great to see them come in and build up their lead in the west. Even if they lose to Lincecum tomorrow, the Dodgers still showed already why they are the best in the West.
I don’t want to rub it in too much tomorrow…but oh what fun to do what I can. Go Blue.

I thought beforehand that the Dodgers had to take at least two of three in SF. Mission Accomplished. While a sweep would really provide an exclamation point, they already have done what they needed to do to reassert themselves as the preeminent team in the West. They have their swagger back.
You know Scott….I thought that this was just you supporting your team but after reading how you enjoy “rubbing it in”….I’m afraid this is my last post.
Its one thing to be happy for your team and cheer them on, and quite another to rub things in people faces. I have to say I am disappointed in the spirit of it.
Best.
Hey Bigjoe1972 – Sorry to disappoint you. “Rubbing it in” is up for interpretation. I don’t believe in heavy in your face razing, but I’m glad to gloat about the game a little with Giants fans knowing that they would do it even more with me. That’s part of the fun of the rivalry. Even if you don’t post, hopefully you’ll at least come back every once in a while. You just need to start rooting for the Dodgers instead of the Giants…you’ll probably like the blog better.
