Easy does it!
Since Sunday past - when the San Francisco "Giants" maneuvered their sports ambitions closer to loftier climbs in the league’s heady play-offs - fans of the team of rag-tag pro-player trade-offs - have been waiting with bated breath.
Uh-huh.
After a frenzied scramble to scoop up a ticket or two the past few days, baseball enthusiasts have been hanging on in the throes of the mounting hysteria, and waiting patiently for the much-anticipated game to play out amidst a lot of spitting and scratching (Roseanne will wise ‘ya up if you’re in the dark on that one) on local turf at the AT& T Stadium on October 9th.
Yup!
At long last - “D” Day - has arrived.
The - “D” stands for “Destroy” - of course.
“Destroy and conquer!”
Kind-of catchy, eh”
Of course, ticket-holders - and fans intending to stretch back in a comfy armchair at home - will be rustling up a truckload of snacks and thirst-quenching beer to beef up the blow-out brewing on the sidelines.
A multitude of fun-loving loyalists - with a keen sense of humor - will be also be adorning their bods with doo-dads and eye-catching memorabilia to tout who they’re pluggin for if I am not mistaken.
Even the local daily - the San Francisco Chronicle - jumped on the bandwagon in a bold-faced effort to capture the festive mood.
For instance, on the back page of one section of the newspaper, graphic artists at the Chronicle whipped up the ubiquitous images of three of the ball-player’s beards to be clipped out and pasted on the smug chinny-chin-chin.
Tongue-in-cheek, a staffer has noted at the top of the page:
“Some assembly may be required"
And, at the close of the instructions, fans are urged to wear one of the beards (to be attached by a super-strength rubber band, I imagine), and be feared!
For the discerning individual - with a hard-on for three players in particular - the paper has offered up:
*The Sanchez
*The Romo
*The Wilson
What a hoot!
Play ball!
