My friends, hear the good news. The end has arrived, so that we can begin again. We all await the long fallow period between seasons when trades are made and teams reborn. Hope springs eternal until next spring when young men return to the diamonds of our youth and compete in the time tested rite known as spring training. Though we will suspect certain teams of superiority, there is no right to the title, no guarantees of victory, no definite outcomes preordained until that first official cry of "Play Ball" and the season is renewed. So repent of all your bad feelings over missed opportunites. Forget wrongs done and errors committed. Embrace the newness in life that has been bestowed upon you and your fellow followers in fandom. We are all even now.
Giants record for 2006, 0 wins, 0 losses, and 0 games out of first place.

1 in 30 chance of winning the World Series, too.
So now, teams named after hosiery have won two years in a row, breaking decades old streaks without winning a championship.
The question now becomes - which franchise is next to break their decades long streak of championship futility? The Cubs? The Giants? The Indians?
Although maybe the Cubs should become the Blue Sox. The Giants...the Orange Sox. The Indians...The Moccasins. Hosiery and footwear are clearly "in".
Well, the Giants certainly have enough alumni who wear the ring - now if we could just get it for our team all at once!
