S.F. Giants Playoff Fever: Fair-Weather Fans, Lincecum, Status Updates

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. It's in the air, excitement for the playoffs. Will you be attending Thursday's game? If so, we hate you with unbridled envy. (Consolation: We'll be perched at the bar at Public House taking in the game.) Anyway, here's a sampling of Giants fervor until tomorrow comes.

  • Jill Tucker from The Chronicle has some sound advice for fair-weather fans jumping on the Giants bandwagon. Most noteworthy, knowing how much Game 6 of the World Series pains any true fan. "It was Oct. 26, 2002, the Giants up 5-0 over the Angels in the bottom of the seventh inning, eight outs from winning their first World Series since moving to San Francisco in 1958." They were a mere 8 outs from winning. Just 8. Alas, Anaheim came back, going on to win Game 7 and the series. Devastating.
  • Also, The Chronicle published this quiz to see if you're a genuine Giants fan or a bandwagoner .
  • Tim "Fuck Yeah" Lincecum will be first on the mound at tomorrow's game.
  • Speaking of Lincecum, some people think he looks like Wiley Wiggins (as Mitch Kramer) in Dazed & Confused?
