The Powers That Be

Deep thoughts from the world of deeply thinking baseball fans:

-----------------------------------------------

Hand:

Be careful what you wish for.

I was diagnosed with a cancer in summer 2002. I didn't seem that serious because it was caught real early, but I still made a vow that I wasn't leaving these mortal bleachers until the Giants won a World Series.

Several months later the Giants took a 3-2 lead in the Series and I realized that I wasn't quite ready to start heading for the exits, so to speak.

"Let me rephrase that earlier vow ...", I called out to the higher principles of the universe.
Several days later the Giants lost Game 7 after we-all-know- what in Game 6.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm to blame.
