I would bust out my vuvuzela if I had one.
The Quakes are about to face San Jose in Game 5 of the best-of-five Championship Series. The team, under new management this year, is looking to win their first league title since 1994.
The tea leaves look good. They have home advantage tonight and they shut out San Jose yesterday. Let's hope the City Council won't be there for the opening pitch. Three council members showed up in Game 3. Their pitches weren't bad but the Quakes, perhaps jinxed, fell short in an 11-inning loss.
Grumble: Some time before midnight, the Quakes lost in a heart-breaking 7-6 lost in 10 innings.

So who won the Monday night game?
Congratulations to the Quakes for a great season but unfortunately came up 1 win short of winning the league title. I am very disappointed with the local "fans" who averaged about 1300 people a game compared to San Jose who had more than 3,000! Kudos to Brent Miles, president of the Quakes, and to the new owners for giving us a quality team. Really sad to see such a lack of local interest.
