Sing it!
The Bay Area's favorite musical personality, Ashkon, this morning released the final version of the Giants 2012 World Series anthem -- and it's fun.

Ashkon, who put together the 2010 anthem "Don't Stop Believing," riffs off Queen's "We Are the Champions" to bring the Giants' 2012 World Series sweep to musical life. The video was shot at the victory parade last week, and finished it after a few days of editing.

Needless to say, it will give Giants fans another chance to relive that victory one more time. Enjoy

It's not even 9 a.m., and Giants fans are gearing up for today's excitement in San Francisco: the Giants parade through downtown. And baseball fans weren't the only ones to show up early -- Buster Posey is reportedly already there and everyone is freaking out.

SF Weekly's Kate Conger is down near the Ferry Building and grabbed a few snapshots of what's going on along Market Street as the city preps to welcome back the 2012 World Champs.

We hope the victim recovers
Police are reporting that a 37-year-old man is suffering major head trauma after he was attacked by a group of men as he celebrated the World Series in the Haight District Sunday night.

According to police, the victim joined thousands of other baseball fans who took to the streets after the Giants won the championship. Sometime between 9:30 and 10:30 p.m., the victim says he was surrounded by five men at the intersection of Haight and Masonic streets.

There's more where that came from
Don't change out of those orange-and-black shirts just yet. The Giants will be home for Halloween, and San Francisco is as ready as it can be to welcome the World Series champs once again.

So here's what you need to know for Wednesday's family event (note: There will be lots of kids there).

The ticker-tape parade kicks off at 11 a.m., at Market and Steuart streets near the Ferry Building. From there, it will be "a straight shot up Market," ending at the Civic Center, right across from City Hall, said SFPD Chief Greg Suhr. This route -- which is different from the 2010 parade path -- will offer you (and police) better views of the scene.

And you might want to get there really early.

oompa loompa or Giants fan?
Mayor Ed Lee has officially declared it San Francisco Giants Pride Week, which means starting today he wants this city to be all orange-and-black all the time -- or at least until the end of the World Series.

The mayor doled out a few ideas for Giants fans to show they're excited to kick Detroit's ass, but nothing that your grandmother wouldn't do -- wave a flag, don a T-shirt, drink a beer. But that's just not going to cut it, if you ask us. We want to see your Giants edge, we want to see your Brian Wilson cuckoo.

So here's some of our ideas of how you can prove to the rest of San Francisco that you are, indeed, a devoted Giants fan.
