Actors Who Could Play San Francisco Giants

Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants on winning the World Series! Sugar Inc.'s home team won baseball's highest honor last night, and we couldn't be more proud of them. In honor of the win, I've put together something fun. If there was a movie about the group of talented and truly diverse players, which actors would play them? Here are my picks!

Do Your Pets Have Sporty Spirit?

Now my dog — not even sporting any orange and black!

Now my dog — not even sporting any orange and black! — was called a good-luck charm as we passed by a crowded bar last week, and who knows what we'll see on the streets of San Francisco for Game 2 of the 2010 World Series tonight. Lucky for this pup, Halloween is right nearby, so that sporty ensemble can double as a costume in a pinch. Do your pets have any sports garb that they wear any time of year, or do they stick to baseball-themed dog toys instead?

San Francisco Giant Aubrey Huff Wears Wife's Red Thong

Is a Red Thong the Secret to the Giants' Baseball Success?

Underneath his uniform, Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff has a secret weapon: his wife's thong. Dubbed the "rally thong," Huff has been wearing the red piece of lingerie since Aug. 30 as a good luck charm. Since then, the Giants have been on a roll, winning game one of the World Series last night.

Huff decided to wear the thong when the Giants needed a miracle (i.e. needed to win 20 of their last 30 games to make the playoffs). After putting the thong on in the locker room he said: "Boys, this is going to get us to 20-10." The company behind the thong also sees a winning opportunity. They've sent the slugger boxes filled with more thongs to distribute.

Huff is a good spokesperson too, explaining that "over time, it's actually gotten pretty comfortable." But the more important question is: does it get washed after every game?

Batter up! Tonight marks the first game of the World Series, when the San Francisco Giants will face off against the Texas Rangers. Even if you can't root, root, root for the home team because yours is no longer in the running, it's still the most exciting time of year for a baseball fan. When the first pitch is thrown out this evening, TVs will be lit up across the country to see how the two opponents fare against each other. I'll be watching, jamming it into my busy Halloween episode viewing schedule.

Whether you're a big fan of the game or not, it's still a good excuse to have a sports viewing party with some ballpark-themed snacks. Will you be watching the World Series?

Does Watching TV Motivate You to Work Out Harder?

I used to think that watching TV while exercising was a big no-no because it was too distracting.

I used to think that watching TV while exercising was a big no-no because it was too distracting. I take it back. Not only is it not distracting, it can be hugely motivating. For those of you that don't care about baseball or live outside of San Francisco — newsflash: the Giants are going to the World Series! And since watching the playoffs became distracting to my fitness routine, I skipped my local sports bar and watched a few games at home while working out.

A funny thing happened during Game 4: my casual 30-minute routine on a portable stair climber, turned into all-out interval training. I was so amped from watching such an exciting game that the extra adrenaline made me want to work harder and longer. Suddenly I was alternating time on the stair climber with powerful multitasking strength moves. I also gave myself mini-challenges along the way: I'd do bicycle crunches the entire time someone was up to bat or use the stair climber at a high rate through an entire inning. In total, I worked out for almost two hours and was still bursting with energy when it was over.

After telling my story to a friend of mine, she said that this is exactly why she works out to the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The drama gets to her so much that she runs faster. What about you — is tube time the perfect trainer?
