Giants World Series Champs - Thanks to the Saints of October Is In Love With the Impossible

October Saints : St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Jude aka Saint for the Impossible.

St Jude, Saint for the Impossible Feast Day October 28th

I thought Buster Posey would hit a homerun today  since he's number 28. October 28th is the Saint for the Impossible Feast Day. The title of the poem "October Is in  Love with the Impossible" -  the word impossible was because of St. Jude.

You're not going to believe but I saw fireworks and heard car tooting before 10 minutes before the SF Giants won.

October 1 is St. Therese Feast Day

Oct 1  is Matt Cain's Birthday. No way St. Therese of the Roses would let him down. Oct 4 is St Francis of Assisi Feast. No way can  the Detroit Tigers win. San Francisco who was named after St. Francis of Assisi was a tamer and friend of animals. He tamed a tiger.  According to legends he tamed a dangerous wolf.

St Francis of Assisi befriends and tames animals

When St. Louis Cardinal beat the Washington Nationals. Someone remarked you can't beat a team named after a Saint. I rebutted, "Hey San Francisco is also named after a saint. St. Louis Feast is on August 26th; San Francisco's Feast is October 4.

Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants Team: players, management, fans- World Series Champs   What a thrill!



WOW, Game 2, Game 3 - SF Giants Shut Out Detroit Tigers

Enchantment sprinkles all over the World Series Bound SF Giants 2012 as Bumgarner  & Vogelsong Pitched 2-0 shutout. Lincecum electrifying as a Reliever.




I remember October 31st Halloween party at my house 2010. The whole house rocked with screams as 21-year Madison Bumgarner threw strike out after strike out. He did again October 25, 2012.

Tonight game Ryan Vogelsong pitched another 2-0 with the help of reliever Tim Lincecum & closer

 Sergio Romo. Tim Lincecum though with a different role was fearless as he unleashed his freakness on the mound. Lincecum pitched twice already in World Series 2012. He also pitched twice as a starter in World Series 2010.


During the start of the 2012 season, pundits overlooked the seemingly 'weak'  SF Giants.  Those who are not Giants fans are scratching their heads how did the Giants get here.

Just wanted to tell Kalligraphia 13 was ahead of those Baseball analysts . The exhibit had one piece proclaiming Giants as World Series Champs.

Barry Zito World Series Game 1 Pitcher Is a Storybook Line

Kung Fu Panda delivers a three-homerun  with a Wow in World Series Game 1


Barry Zito , the much-beleaguered pitcher of San Francisco Giants who received a lot of criticisms & put-downs from the media and fans provided an unexpected win  against the  heavily favored Detroit Tigers pitcher  Justin Verlander. In a game that the SF Giants couldn't possibly win, the SF Giants surprised everyone with a win convincingly. Life is indeed a  baseball game.

 On the brink of elimination for the NLCS, Zito  also saved the SF Giants in Game 5 against the St Louis Cardinals. The Las  Vegas odds, the Tigers (50/83 or -166 ML) predicted that World Series Game 1 victors were the Detroit Tigers  over the Giants (151/100 or +151).

Well, Detroit Tigers have Verlander but the SF Giants have the magic of believing.
Zito provides an inspiration to mortals who receive a lot of put-downs; one  can get up again and deliver awesome deeds one more time.

Wow ! Pablo Sandoval punched three homers in Game 1. He donated his bat to Cooperstown Museum
since he made baseball history along the greats: Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Alberto Pujols who had three homeruns in World Series' history.

Oakland A's Deliver a Storybook Magic to Capture AL West Champions

Congratulations:  Oakland A's  is the American League West Champions in a Surprising Manner.

Brad Pitt fell in love with the Oakland A's story so he made a movie "MoneyBall" and almost won an Oscar.

Here's another story for this Fortress. If you still don't believer magic & fairytales , then it's time you do believe. The Oakland A's were down 13 games behind the two-time Champions & Division leader 2010 & 2011 World-Series contender Texas Rangers.  But you never can tell when magic and enchantment strikes. This year the A's were overlooked and didn't get much media attention.

They were happy to clinch the Wild Card spot so they celebrated three days earlier. Then on the last day , they swept the Texas Rangers. Instead of being a Wild Card team, the Oakland A's became the AL West Champions.(Check out their story). They won their title on the last day of the season.

They celebrated twice, clinching the wild card spot   and then  clinching  the title .Who could have hope for a better scenario.

The San Francisco Bay Area folks are happy that they  have two playoff contenders for the World Series. Go Giants! Go A's.

Congratulations 2012 National League West Champs - SF GIANTS

San Francisco Giants is the 2012 National League West Champions on  September 22, 2012 & Gerald Dempsey 'BUSTER" Posey III is the NL Batting Champion.




State Senator Leland Yee poses with the October is In Love with the Impossible piece  "SF World Series 2010 Championship logo"at
the Marie Peterson Gallery at SSF General Art  & Sculpture Show. Senator Yee supports the Arts and of course the SF Giants.



I'm glad my piece at Kalligraphia 13  was about the San Francisco Giants for winning the 2010 World Series . They're back in their dreams of regaining their title for 2012. Congratulations to  Gerald Dempsey

"Buster" Posey III for winning the NL Batting Champion. After the injury  suffered in 2011 at the homeplate, Buster came back renewed, positive and with an extraordinary force.

Whatever happens in the post-season happens. The SF Giants delivered an exciting and entertaining ballgame in the regular season.
