Fear the Beard










The Giants slogans for the post-season are "Torture" and "Fear the Beard." we got plenty of both last nite. After a first inning 3 run homer by former Phillies player Pat Burrell, he later made a fielding error that converted a single into a double that started the Braves rally. All it took was a huge blown save by Wilson for the rabid fans to be deflated like so many limp orange pompons. Deja vu from early in the season when Wilson blew a save to a gem pitched by Lincecum. As for the beards that all the relievers are sporting, especially the black dye job on Wilson, I say the beards aren't feared by the opposing team but the Giants fans themselves. This writer sported her own luxurious bush, only to learn that female fans were sporting panda heads, not beards.
