Hello hello everyone! Lynnette here on this lovely Friday to chat about my love for spring\u2026spring sports, that is!<\/p>\n

I admit it, when I’m not busy scrapbooking, I’m a bit of a sports junkie. I regularly check my ESPN app for the latest sports news (Peyton Manning! Tim Tebow! The Saints! It’s been a crazy week, no?)<\/em>, I get sad when the Superbowl is over and my usual indifference to basketball is trumped by the thrills of March Madness every year.<\/p>\n

Which means when the weather starts warming up and the leaves start turning green, my mind goes to one thing – baseball season and the return of my beloved San Francisco Giants!<\/p>\n

Now I admit, being a Giants fan is Texas is not exactly the easiest thing. After all, San Antonio is not exactly a hotbed of professional sports unless you’re a fan of basketball and the Spurs.<\/p>\n

And well, I’m pretty sure Adam and I were some of the few in Texas who were thrilled when this happened in 2010…<\/p>\n

\"Lynnette<\/p>\n

But even though we can no longer hop on BART and bask in the breeze at AT&T Park like we used to do in college, we still do our best to support our team, even if it means driving 3 hours to Houston to watch our Giants lose to the Astros like we did last year. <\/p>\n

Although really, I know it’s hot in Texas, but baseball in a dome? It’s just doesn’t seem right.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Nettio<\/p>\n

2011 might not have been the Giants best year but that’s the great thing about sports. Each season is a clean slate. And you can bet, good or bad, we’ll be there cheering them on just like always. After all, this Giants-lovin’ is a family affair…<\/p>\n

\"Nettio<\/p>\n

I mean come on, who else<\/em> do you think took me to my first Giants game when I was only 6 weeks old?<\/p>\n

So here’s to a new season of baseball memories. Go Giants!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
