Happy Thanksgiving everybody. It was a tough year for the Giants, but we still have a lot to be thankful with the team, and hopefully we have as much or more to be thankful for in our own lives as well.
Be thankful if it's been a good year for us. And if it hasn't been, be thankful we get another chance next year.
Remember, we put our pants legs on one at a time, we play 'em one game at a time, we believe it every day and twice on Sunday, some days you win, some days you lose, we're building team chemistry, we have lots of gamers, and if all else doesn't work out, it's wait till next year.

after 80 years of rooting for the Giants with their many ups and downs, I fully realize that baseball is a kids game and we don't have to react wildly to every event...the only thing to really be concerned about is the health and happiness of your family....and of all mankind...

Happy Thanksgiving and Hanukkah as well. Just 79,000 years until that happens again. Can't wait!

I think there's a Muslim holiday coming up, as well. We probably shouldn't overlook them in our holiday wishes.

Sure, by all means. And all the Nazis too.

First I aired my grievances to Brian Sabean about him going cheap for the fifth starter. Unfortunately the only feat of strength I can muster up though after eating my turkey dinner is getting up from the dinner table!

Hey, you want to celebrate with a group who wants to wipe all Jews (and Americans, for that matter) off the face of the earth, why not include all of them?

As a Jew who knows many Muslims, let me call bullcrap on Allen's comments. As usual he's taking the actions of a few and applying it to everyone who practices the religion. According to his logic I should hate white people too, because there's a few skinheads who hate Jews too.

Both Egypt and Iran, which are Muslim countries, have stated the desire to wipe Israel off the map. Isn't it a tenet of the Muslim religion that all "infidels" must be either converted or killed? How come you never hear any of the "good" Muslims speaking out against the actions of the "few"? Certainly they should have a beef against them for giving the rest of the Muslims a bad name. But you never hear from them. You also very rarely see them trying to assimilate into American culture. They want to maintain their own culture, even if it comes at the expense of American citizens.

Uh, Allen, I was speaking of Thanksgiving, which is an American holiday. How did Egypt and Iran get into the discussion?

Mark stating his opinion that Muslims were harmless, friendly people.

I can't find where Mark said that. As with other races and creeds, there are some who fit that description and others who don't.

And there are many Muslims who condemn terrorism. If Allen has never heard them, it's because he's watching Fox News.

Actually I watch CNN as well. I don't watch much MSNBC. Does anyone? I haven't heard any Muslims condemning terrorism, just bitching that Americans are picking on them because they don't want a mosque built on the graves of those murdered by Muslims. Perhaps you could give me some examples.

Allen- The problem with that is there are also many white people who are Jews.
