I know that it's playing with fire but I kinda want the Giants to win it at home.
Too much risk for me.

Just win it.

I would prefer that but on the other hand I'd really like to start getting some sleep again
The winter meetings are nearly a month away!
I want them to win it in Texas in front of all these fans. I need to see their heartbreak & tears.
I wish so hard they could win it in SF

that city would absolutely explode

Hopefully the fire department is better prepared this time around.
No no no

I said explode not shake!

(and then explode)
but but but

CODY ROSS IS ON FIRE

(and then explode)
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I don't know who most of those people are!

Go Giants!

I used to love Tsuyoshi Shinjo when he was on the Mets.
He is one entertaining baseball player, even if he wasn't ever any good.

Like stealing home
Defense
Random other highlights

Notice how I mentioned the Mets.

I don’t a fuck about what happens in Japan.

Unless it's about Kaz Sasaki.
Well you see, MLB doesn't allow video of their games on youtube.
Jeebus he had a ridiculous arm.
This season has been a giant pile of shit.

Put an end to it San Fransisco.

Muhammed Ali is singing the National Anthem?
One of these days a flyover is going to be due to an invasion

and afterward, all the people in the stadium that cheered are going to feel awfully silly

So... The flyover WILL be the invasion, or it will be a response to said invasion?
It works either way
Chad Zerbe's mom taught me Marine Biology. Fun.
What the fuck did that dude just say
I want Cliff Lee to get rocked again just because hahahahah fuck you Rangers.
I couldn't give less of a shit about a guy that was on our team for 2 months and will never be back.

I hope he gives up 15 runs and cries and his prepubescent wife divorces him for being a pussy.

Ding Ding Ding!!!
But, Joe Morgan, if Cliff Lee can't win a nothing to nothing game

how is it that you expect Felix to?

GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS


Via McC

That's a curveball, Tim. Good to know you can recognize it.
That montage missed Cliff's best highlight from that series

Also his most dangerous highlight.
It's remarkable how well the video of this long-ago event has held up
I bet Michael Young gave himself the nickname "Slick"
It doesn't describe his fielding, that's for sure.
It does if there's motor oil in his glove
Who do you think gave David Murphy the nickname "Murph?"
Probably the guy who started the claw.
GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS
GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS
Did Tim McCarver just call the Freaky Freaks terrible?
The Giants are like the Angels except the except the exact opposite
Rec'd for grammar!
Jesus what is wrong with me today
I asked him and he said you're not throwing fast enough.
Wait

Christ or Colome?

Colome. Who the fuck is Jesus Christ?
What is he up to nowadays, anyway?
I just assumed he was an airborne traffic reporter for his native village in the Domincan Republic
Wait

Christ or Colome?

As assumptions go, it really works for both.
Christ. Who the fuck is Jesus Colome?
I wonder if Christ reports on the traffic in the canal because he can walk on water
The Giants are doing entirely too poorly against this blowhard.
LET THE OFFSEASON COMMENCE

We kick ass in the offseason!

SHUT THE FUCK UP ROSENTHAL NO ONE CARES
I think I'm just annoyed that he didn't follow up 'two nuns' with 'walk into a bar...'
"You don't want to make three outs on three pitches"
You have to admit these guys really know baseball.
Huh, this pitching matchup may actually live up to the hype.
I want Rowand's son to be the Giants' bat boy.
What was going on?

(kitchen duties)

They showed him talking to his son, who is in the front row above the dugout, earlier in the evening.
Ah.

thanks.

Then I want Pablo to run him over at the plate.
Why in God's name is Aaron Rowand in center over Torres?
If I recall correctly you were the Giants' GM in 2010.

You tell me.

This is correct.

The first thing I did was cut him.

I have no idea but I don't like it.
Because Rowand has never played LF or RF

But yeah, moving one of the best defensive CF’s is not usually good

FUCK YOU CLIFF LEE
Four months ago that kind of play thrilled me.
Why the hell is Vanilla Ice schilling for Pizza Hut.
What else does he have to do?
Seek revenge on Suge Knight.
Rec'd for obscure reference I actually got for once
The better question is why does Pizza Hut think Vanilla Ice can convince me to buy pizza.
Schilling?

he is carrying on in a verbose, self-rightous manner about how wonderful he is?

That was Ice Ice Baby.

He’s past that phase.

I don't care how cliche it is. I hate that we didn't draft Lincecum.
Lincecum is David Smurphy's Gargamel.
Fox Trax thinks everthing is a strike
Somewhere between Fox Trax and this umpire would be ideal.
I can't see that advert for the new Dreamworks film without thinking of

this.

Dreamworks:

“What was the last Pixar movie? Okay, let’s do a variation of it except completely rush the storyline and jump to the ending without any character development.”

How to Train Your Dragon was a genuinely good film.
Good lord Timmy.
That looked like a strike on game day
Lincecum's favorite show is Family Guy.

Well no shit.

Sigh... I've cared so little about this entire postseason..

Ending on an insane pitcher’s duel would be interesting, though.

Well let's see..

If I leave right now, I wonder if I’ll be home in time to watch the ending. They’re hustling tonight.

Depends on if today's rendition of God Bless America is freestyled to be an extra half hour.
Lincecum's hair is long and flowy.

I heard he bathes his scalp in Crew leave in conditioner and sleeps with a plastic bag over his head.

Joe Morgan is fretting about Cliff Lee's curve ball.
Tim McCarver thought that Mitch Moreland was the only lefty in Texas' lineup
He talked about it a lot in Cliff's last start
Why isn't he throwing it! where is it!
"the tension is palpable at Rangers ballpark" says Jon Miller.

They must have heard @jcrasnick Alex Rodriguez just weighed in. Says this is literally a life and death game for the Rangers.

This is a compelling base ball game

Now if these gentlemen would cease their cursed discourse, it would be excellent.

Now Keyboard Cat is advertising pistachios?

Pistachios are becoming the power nut.

Lewis Black seems to think so too
I wouldn't worry too much about the pistachio threat

They can’t invade in large numbers because they might explode.

Now that I’ve written this out I think we should be quite worried about the pistachio threat.

What does an old internet meme have to do with pistachios?
Everything.

Nothing.

What does Lewis Black have to do with pistachios?
Half of the pitches to Young were sliders, McCarver.
I'm ready for this season to be over.
I just confused myself.

I thought Jon Miller was describing Aubrey Huff as an enormously powerful left-handed hitter.

"The Rangers aren't hitting because the Giants ARE pitching"

LAUGH OUT LOUD!

Heard this comment on TV

Immediately came over here to see how people would rip into him for saying it.

Lowest common denominator sportcasting makes me want to give myself a lobotomy.
Sportscasting in general makes me want to give you a lobotomy.
EAT IT CRUZ
That Mitch Mooreland guy kinda sucks
He's actually pretty decent, and that annoys me
With the bat, at least
Justin Smoak makes that play.
How did I miss that the Giant's 1B coach is Roberto Kelly?
Hey look he caught it
Believe me, 16-inning scoreless streak is not unbelievable, Tim :(
Tim Lincecum must have a Visine endorsement contract.
Is this a weed joke?
Yes, once removed. His eyes were pristinely white on a close-up shot, which is what prompted me to say that.
Got it!
Looks like this guy is really good at context clues.
Rowan reminds me of Kotchman.
Are his eyes misaligned?
Is he constantly terrified?
That Geico gecko is far better at baseball than an Englishman has any right to be.
Cricket skills translate well.
Hahaha Look at that hippy!
/Ichiro should dive more
Needless jump!
GODDAMMIT JUST A FEW FEET TO THE LEFT AND IT'S GONE
Just a few feet further back too, while I'm at it.
Oh well that's like a medium fly ball in San Francisco
If that ball had gone into the stands it would have been a home run!
Well it could have bounced in and that would have not been a homerun.
Or if Cruz threw it to the fans after the final out.
You guys are ruining my self-mockery with your logic.
Or if it goes further to the side it's a foul ball
Nice hit, Lizard.
I like how the umpire still has to signal that was a strike.
This Lincecum lad is rather efficient
Licejaculating!
Lice.... jaculating?

Gross.

We don't need to know about your insect fetishes
Aaaaaaand beaten to it.

Curse you JY!

Insect fetishes is at least a funny concept.
I am really enjoying this game.
Am I the only one that thinks Due Date looks shit?
Looks like a real shitty version of the Cable Guy to me
I was thinking a shitty version of Planes,Trains, and Automobiles.
Zach Galifinakis' character seems annoying.
I think it looks like it could be fun.
So.....first one to score wins?
Whoever is leading after bottom of the ninth
SUDDEN DEATH
Hit low on the ground.

Just like the bodies killed in the drug wars that produced his sweet, sweet cocaine.

Timmy did not let them savor that lead off hit for long.

Put them away Giants.

This seems to be the start that everyone anticipated the first time around.
Lincejaculating!
This makes more sense but still no.
Lincepriapism!
Lincespooge
You guys are growdy.
I think you mean Lincecumming
Oh now I see what you're getting at.
Can we have a Game 6 just so I can watch baseball without political ads?
How horrifying would it be

if they started in on ads for the 2012 election for game 6?

HOW THE FUCK IS CODY ROSS DOING THIS
He is a demigod.

Whoa why is your username in italics?
I tried to italicize "is" but it just did it to my username.

You did it too!

Now everything is in italics!
You forgot to close the tag, apparently.
I didn't do anything but for some reason everything in this thread is italicised!
It's broken!

But not anymore, hopefully.

I kind of like the new look.
You fixed it

That’s quite an odd feature.

Hooray basic knowledge of HTML.

I just closed the [i] and [em] tags, that’s all. (Replace the brackets with the pac-men.)

ROSS
AND LESS FAT SANDOVAL
You guys got me all excited for a single.
I think I am OK with bunting here
Damn you Cliff Lee and your good fielding ability
... for Pat Burrell
"A very very smart, world championship winning type play right there"

not sure if Joe was referring to the bunt or the out by Lee

WPA didn't change because of the bunt.

And considering Huff is an above average hitter it probably made things a little worse.

I am willing to overlook WPA in this situation

there is a point at which game theory needs to override close WPA scenarios

Agreed, but still disagree.
what
I don't think this is that point
Then when?
Don't know! But not now.
I saw uncertainty in Cliff's eyes

It was unsettling

And then Pat Burrell arrived to erase that uncertainty
I want the Giants to win but I do not want to see Cliff Lee fail.
Cliff Lee failing means the Rangers won't win
Not unless it's the bullpen who fails.
FUCK YOU PAT BURRELL
I love you Cliff

but please just give up a hit and let this miserable season die.

It's a strike, Pat. You swung and missed
BED WETTER
Did we ever find out what the sign guys were planning for the last Phillies game.
We did not, because they got banned from the stadium and the guy didn't realize we were mocking him so he didn't tell us thinking we'd be excited for it.
We were both mocking him and excited for it.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Excited for different reasons.
Hoping that they would take you up on the suggestions....
As was I. I rooted for their fuckwad of a team for a game just to see it.

But in the end they wussed out

Or they were never let in.

I was figuring their clever plan probably involved custom t-shirts or something.

My guess is they were going to have some unclever innuendo
PAT THE BAT MY ASS
MORE LIKE PAT THE TWAT AMIRITE
Can Renteria get a World Series winning hit for the 2nd time?
I would guess yes.
Absolutely not.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
I hear honking...
HOMERUN!!! THE RADIOS ARE QUICKER!!! THE RADIOS ARE QUICKER!!!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
RENTAFUCKINGRIA!!!
EDGAR FUCKING RENTERIA
And there's your World Series
WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT
Leeeeeeeee!

Not a Mariner!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
RENTERIA IS A WORLD SERIES HERO AGAIN!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT EDGAR RENTERIA!
HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS FUCKING AGELESS
Holy shit something happened.
GAINTS
GAINT GONNA BE A GAME SIX, BITCHES!
I want one.

I want to watch a game six, in a bar, with no damn attack ads.

There's always next year!
OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD
HAHA FUCK YOU BALLPARK IN ARLINGTON
When you're sitting in the dirt, and you feel something squirt...

Renteria!

GAME OVER FUCK YES
Cliff not pitching perfect Lee.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Cody Ross jumping around on home plate like the leprechaun he almost certainly is
I seriously don't know what I'm going to do when the Giants win

I love them almost as much as the Mariners and I’ve never had a team I love win a championship.

The Giants really are nothing more than a bandwagon team to me yet I still have an enormous smile on my face

If the Mariners were ever this position I might actually die.

I had the same feeling watching team Canada win the Gold this year.

Not quite the same thing but it was weird celebrating.

There went that subthread
For the people that missed it, I completely owned him.
For the people that missed it, I completely owned him.
This is both false and unbelievable.
EEEEEEDGAAAAAARRR
THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT. THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT
Crap. Now Burrell is going to get out the gimp outfit again.
Hahaha God Bless America right after complete heartbreak
I'm sure there's nothing this crowd wants more right now than to honour America.
Most people honor America by dropping the U.
....And God Bless American comes in to play Debbie Downer for the evening.
God Bless the Mute Button.
It really is a wonderful thing.
WHOO! GIANTS MOTHERFUCKERS!
So many armed forces people singing God Bless America!

We want Justin Bieber!!!

Lincecum for MVP do you think?
Renteria surely.
I'd say Lincecum.
OK i'm changing my mind to Renteria
I wonder how many millions of dollars that pitch just cost Cliff.
No way that was a homer in Safeco

Just sayin’

There are a lot of parks in which that is not a homer

but instead virtually the same thing, a backbreaking two run double

I keep thinking of Dave Valle's description of the way the wind can swirl in Arlington

pushing a ball out that you think is just a pop-up

Not with Guti in center, routine fly ball

I just want Cliff to remember…

Probably only his WS share and ring.

He’s Cliff Lee, he still is going to be the #1 free agent pitcher on the market. He’s going to get a ton.

Someone needs to make a list of ballparks and home run factors for Cliff.
Prolly like $15 million.
No more God Bless America until April 2011!
I'm sure it'll be forced in somewhere.
At lunch of the winter meetings.
At least those aren't televised.
The Rangers traded Justin Smoak and 4 minor leaguers for that pitch and to get the best GM in the division almost fired!
4? Pretty sure it was 3... 4 total players...

Even though I know you’re just being snarky…

No, us losing Mark Lowe was actually giving a negative so he counts as an extra player for us.
It just got INTERESTING!
Is this where people use the sweet torture meme?
Whatever, let them have hope

The further the fall, the more it hurts

This is why we can't even start to think about thinking about nice things.
The problem is that when we think about nice things

we will be in this situation and Garrett Olson will be pitching

Seems unlikely.
It's us

this is EXACTLY what would happen

It would probably be League,

Bringing the heat!

It's way more infuriatingly funny if it's Garrett Olson

at least Brandon League has talent

I think that it would be funnier if it was Rick White instead.
I find it quite hard to believe we'd be in this position and still have Garrett Olson on the roster

Despite Jeff’s hope.

Sean White?
Even harder to believe.
It's us

this is EXACTLY what would happen

Ah fuck it, that was Matthew

Sorry :(

Wow, how about calling a strike, ump?
Quit it.

Quit it now.

Inevitably AND invariably?
That's two things!
Don't let it be David Murphy

It’s David fucking Murphy

David Murphy is stunned he is David Murphy.
I like this because it means that we get to hear Rangers fans go deathly silent a second time.
DON'T MENTION HIS NAME!
Hat trick, bitch. Sit down.
That, apparently, was a make sure meeting.
"You're gonna get an out, right?"

“That’s what I’m gonna try.”
“OK good we’re on the same page.”

Hey, Bengie, you're going to get a ring regardless, so just GIDP here
That would not have been possible.
Forgot there were 2 outs.

Striking out works

TIMMMMMMMMAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Ha ha, Nolan.

Suck it.

Uh, Nolan Ryan is wearing an orange and black jacket

he no longer deserves to win the WS, not that the Rangers ever did

please someone screencap Nolan Ryan pursing his lips
GROSS
Yes but hilarious in context
The Giants should let Romo finish the game just to make sure that it hurts even more for the Rangers fans.
So now you decide to go to Neftali Feliz in the 8th inning, Washington?
Crackhead.

Tough to predict behavior.

Ron Washington does blow.

DOUBLE MEANING!

Different method of delivery and refining.

Same base. DOUBLE MEANING!

Renteria called his shot, LL style.

That’s awesome.

RENTERIA IS A WITCH! BURN HIM!
Edgar Renteria, $18.5M well spent
I really really want Renteria to reach 3000 hits, because the HOF discussion will be hilarious.
I don't think he is going to play that long
He's only 35.

He was not horrible this year. It’s only 748 more hits!

He was thinking of retiring before this year
My note of him needing 4 full seasons worth of hits meant I was being facetious.
ARGH!! Stupid inability to understand sarcasm

The worst part of this is that I have actually spent some of my free time thinking about what might happen if he does reach 3000 … I will never get those minutes back.

What on EARTH is TIm talking about?
He's climbing in your windows, he's snatching your people up.
HIDE YOUR KIDS
Synchronisity.

I literally just found out about that rant.

You don't have to call and confess. We're looking for you - we gonna find you, we gonna find you

so you can run and tell that run and tell that run and tell that homebody home.. homeboy.

Hide your husbands.
I had a girl break into my house to leave paper towels and write a "paper towel intruder" post-it note to us to leave with the paper towels
That's a girl you should marry right now.
I half expected Renteria to try to punch Rowand for patting him on the head.
What did the other half of you do during that time?
Probably not expect that to occur.
It's surprising me how much rage at feel at Rowan.

I didn’t know he existed before tonight.

*rage I feel*
Calm down Yoda, it'll be alright.
Anger leads to hate blah blah blah
You're not feeling me man.

“Grab some Buds”

How can you be angry at this face!?

CODY FUCKING ROSS!
Didn't work.
I just wanted to be first.
I'd like everyone to remember that the state song of Texas is God Bless Texas

whoops

Who the fuck is Jesus Colome?
Tim McCarver reminds me of Jay Sherman's dad from The Critic.

Pointless, meandering stories coupled with general senility.

He also kind of looks like him

As much as I love these Giants

all I can think of is how badly I wish this were the Mariners

Down 3-1 in a series in a game going into the 9th down 3-1?

I don’t

LINCEKKKKKKKKKKUM
well that was impressive
That is nasty
Timmy can smell the finish line.

Impressive.

Lincecum even does his crazy windup when he's fielding
He's done it since he was a tiny person, apparently

Also via McCC

*since* he was a tiny person?
Fair point.
Oh, wait.

I forgot.

He’s 5’11"

[snerk]

Is he throwing to home or first?
Olney says it is 4,755 days since Edgar Renteria got his last WS clinching hit
And it'll be his only one.
THREE MORE OUTS
What's Timmy's pitch count?

I say they leave him in.

Wilson was the best (if most heart attack inducing) reliever in the NL this year
That would be kinda fun....
I don't consider heart attacks fun.
It's the bit in paretheses that makes me want Timmy left in

As much as I love Wilson.

Remember the graphic showing all the ESPN experts picking Philly to win the pennant?

Poor Cliff Lee

He was everyone’s keys to the game

Fuck that guy.
And he was the key to the series.

He lost two games.

I don't even want them to bat this inning, just let Wilson go and get it over with
Jon Miller is managing to be very restrained and professional here in the 9th
I heart him so much.
I so badly want the Mariners to get to the WS for Niehaus alone
I'm honestly not sure he'd survive the series.
can't think of a better way to go out
I'm sure he'd say so.
Oh, it would be awesome for him

Bit of a downer for the rest of us.

Apparently the guy in the red hoodie does not realize there is a net in front of the stands behind home plate
I want to see Molina tear off his jersey to reveal a Giants jersey underneath.

And then watch him run out and celebrate.

That would be the most awesome team switch since Hulk Hogan joined the NWO.
Slowly.
This subthread

is the perfect example of why I LOVE this blog.

1954 footage.

Sure, let’s go with the RAGTIME MUSIC. HURRRR OLD TIMEY

Better than playing Chinese music during the Japanese heritage game.

According to Ichiro anyway.

This happened?

Oy

I'll try to find the link
Too lazy to go past the first "o" in Google.
Which was better than firing the team's Japanese-heritage manager during the Japanese heritage game.
OK this one was funny.
Ian Kinsler: What Jason Vargas would look like if he didn't look like a lesbien.
THREE MORE OUTS
How many times has Burrell asked the HP ump if *that* one was a strike?
On the down side

Feliz has been really good.

The end to one of the worst seasons I've ever experienced as a baseball fan is almost here.

Oh thank god.

A lot of ArtistDirect critics seem to like Due Date
Just run away.

From these lies.
Back to yesterday.
Safe tonight.
I feel the sun creeping up like tic tock
I’m tryina keep you in my head but if not
We’ll just keep running for tomorrow with are lips locked.
Yeah, you got me beggin, beggin’

Baseball please don’t goooo
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here.
I don’t knowwww
If you feel the way I do
If you leave I’m gon’ find you
Baseball please don’t go go go go
Baseball please don’t go go go go
Baseball please don’t go go go go
Baseball please don’t
Baseball please don’t
Baseball please don’t runaway….

Here comes Awedsma.

I can’t believe McCarver is saying something I agree with.

Really.

I would have left Lincecum in, too.

I also feel that no complete game may have handed the MVP to Renteria
I still love you, Cliff... (tear)
Fuck that guy.
I am fucking sick of you and your anti Cliff lee rhetoric...

seriously… keep it to yourself…

There have been plenty of people through the post season spouting anti-Cliff Lee Rhetoric.
Hell, I've been spouting anti-Cliff Lee Rhetoric since we traded him.
Also it assumes pro-Cliff Lee rhetoric is less annoying

Which is of course wrong.

100% agree.
Half of my anti talk has been because everyone was so smitten with him after he pitched three months for us.
Two.

Don’t forget he was injured for the first month.

2 monts and people were talking about how that they wished how we had Lee to an extension instead of Felix!
WHAT?

I don’t remember this

Having Lee signed wouldn't preclude us from Felix, since Felix is still team controlled
I have Cliff Lee gets an aggressive rectal infection that ultimately leads to the loss of his small intestine.
And many of us are tired of people going on and on about a guy that pitched only 2 months in Seattle than led the only other AL team without a pennant to the World Series.
You are the one who cemented my beliefs on Lee.
Bitchez need to learn to back the fuck off from Felix turf.
I have been with you on this point from the start.
I can't contain my excitement!

Postseason baseball!

Right down the middle and you're going to complain about it?
Maybe he was complaining that he couldn't believe he missed that.
Two quick outs!

ONE MORE TO GO

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
BRING OUT THE MACHINE
C'MON C'MON C'MON
ONE. MORE. STRIKE
ONE MORE STRIKE
ONE MORE STRIKE.............
I want to see Wilson tear off his beard when he records the last out.
I wonder if he'll do that cross thing
I wonder if Posey feels like he's being snubbed
NOT A STRIKE
ALSO NOT A FUCKING STRIKE
THAT WAS A FUCKING STRIKE.
Brian Wilson is getting all Francoeury-eyed.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
YAY NOT RANGERS!!!
STRIKE THREE!!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Congratulations to the San Fransisco Giants and Bengie Molina!

Suck it Rangers. Suck it long and suck it hard.

IT’S OVER WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE GIANTS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS
SWINGING STRIKEOUT

GIANTS WIN GIANTS MOTHERFUCKING WIN

GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS GIANTS
ELI WHITESIDE SIGHTING
San Fransisco going nuts.

Not really.

Eli Whiteside is a World Champion.
I'M GOING TO BUY A CHEAP T-SHIRT CELEBRATING THE GIANTS' VICTORY
I'M GOING TO GET A FREE TEXAS RANGERS TEE-SHIRT FROM A SMALL TRIBE IN AFRICA AND PEE ON IT.
So Lincecum has had a nice start to his career.

2 Cy Youngs and a World Series Champion

I hope Benji Molina joins the Giants in their clubhouse to celebrate
CODY FUCKING ROSS
I tell you, Cody Ross is a leprechaun
He is very very happy

and full of cliches.

HEY RANGERS HEY OVER HERE

HEY LOOK WE HAVE SIX YEARS OF TEAM CONTROLLED JUSTIN SMOAK. WHAT DO YOU HAVE? HEY GUESS WHAT ELSE? SUCK IT.

An AL Pennant
Seriously people. We have no bragging rights. We are not better than them. Not now, not then, and probably not for a while.
I feel nothing has real value unless it's in the form of a gigantic ring.
Yeah, they've got a nice big flag that we've never had, so...
Brian Wilson got a zero for the day.
Brain Sabean is a World Champion.
Mr. "find the only negative", aren't we?
So, Rentaria automatically gets the MVP award, right?
The only thing that I don't like about this is that I actually kind of like LSB.

But I like MCC too so what are you going to do.

No words

Only emotion

So happy

Those were words stupid
Silence redcoat
It's all downhill for Posey.
Buster Posey could be the next Chipper Jones.
Chipper Jones could be the next Nolan Ryan
OK, now they HAVE to get Lincecum a Pantene ad.
If it takes an athlete to almost trip and fall over a fence I think the bar is a little too low.
"Tim Lincecum, how much better was he than he's ever been before?"

What kind of a question is that Ken Rosenthal?

Now she can die in peace.
hahahhahahahahahahaha
Glad I'm not the only one who saw this.
Fuck you Rangers

Fuck you Cliff Lee.

Fuck you 2010.

Here’s to no more baseball.

*Until 2011 and/or 2012!
Bring on the offseason.
I can't wait to be the first team in 27 years to be back to back paper champions.
I can't wait to be the first team in 27 years to be back to back paper champions.
I can't wait to be the first team in 27 years to be back to back paper champions.
#5 org this year!
No Rangers World Series victory.

I’m satisfied. May 2011 be more kind to our downtrodden franchise.

What happens in May?
Ichiro kicks it into high gear.
Does it mean Cliff Lee comes back?
Pre Cliff Lee: 11-11

Post Cliff Lee: 50-90

You're right we should keep Ichiro from hitting well.
I don't think they are related.
Justin Smoak begins his MVP run.
The puns begin!

On the ESPN.com main page: “Giant Moment”. From ESPN’s MLB page: “Land of the Giants”. From MLB.com: “Giants Win the Series! Giants Win the Series!”-oh wait, that’s not a pun.

No but it sucks equally.
Should have gone with "They Might be Giants."
Oh well.

Life is unfair.

From CBSSports:

“True Giants”

Yahoo! going with "Say hey! Giants win it all"
Used car salesmen are unilaterally evil.
Is that Texas usher trying to get the Giants fans to move away from the dugout?
Brian Sabean gave Barry Zito 7 years and $126M, and Aaron Roward 5 years and $60M and now he's a World Champion.
Imagine what we could've done with Bavasi!
Unfortunately we don't have to.
I always forget how big Bochy is
Edgar!
Did he just get smacked on the backside?
Apparently by Bochy

it was quite the wallop

McC in a World Series winning gamethread has a little over 1000 comments.

If this was us, I’m sure we’d be pushing 10,000.

They shove their overflow gamethreads to the sidelines

I counted 6361 comments all together.

We've regularly passed 10K most days in the post-season.
I'd like to think we'd crash SBN
Brian Sabean says get away from me you're not coming back
So many likable players on the Giants.
Posey, Lincecum and that's about it for me.
Panda, Cody Ross, Matt Cain, Edgar Renteria, Aubrey Huff, Freddy Sanchez...

Seriously, I can’t think of anyone I would hate.

I don't hate any of them either.
Edgar Renteria is unintelligible.
It's a good thinghelet his bat do the talking.
geeeez. *thing he let*
PLEASE GET TO THE BRIAN WILSON INTERVIEW
Knew this was coming, from McC.

Wow Brian Wilson has been in the majors for 5 seasons
This is the only acceptable use of Bud Light.
How's that look? "Uhhh shiny"
His face just says bong hits.
Timmy's biceps are wider than the rest of his body.
Tim Lincecum just said "I can't believe this shit" on the MLB Network post-game interview
"I don't give a FCC!"
I missed that.

After game 162 he answered a question with “FUCK YEAH!”

The question was

“Are you ready for your champagne shower?”

That must be a fun job to clean up after the locker room celebration.
Winning on the road means you get the trash the place properly, too.
Fuck me for missing the last inning
No thanks, champ.
Heh.

@bcondotta: When Lincecum blows out his elbow when he’s 57 years old, though, you’ll be glad the Mariners didn’t draft him.

I hope we get to experience this someday.
I'm pretty sure Seattle will never win the World Series
No, we will win one day. So will the Nationals, maybe.

I just hope it happens while I’m still alive. It might not come until I’m that 80 year old woman in San Francisco whooping it up, but it will happen.

Why was the Jimi Hendrix website in the WS closing credits?

I don’t get it. Is it because Hendrix and Lincecum are the only two good things ever to come out of Renton?

Soooo when do we find out if Felix wins the Cy Young?

I’d like to close the book completely on 2010 and I feel like that’s the one final chapter.

Well this is ominous
Cliff Lee: "we’re disappointed, but we’re building something special here and we expect to be back here next year.
Thats a lot of we.
FLAGGED!

God dammit.

It only means he's a team player. No one knows which team that's going to be in 2011.
a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge thank you to you guys for your support this postseason

I will do my part to absolutely reciprocate whenever the M’s reach the playoffs. You are now my official AL team.

word

i mean, it’s easy for me living in seattle. but even if i wasn’t ICHIRO and FELIX and SOME OTHER GUYS FUCK YEAH

You're more than welcome.

The Giants have been my bandwagon team for most of the season (dammit, Mariners!) but even if they weren’t I’d have been rooting for you guys over the Rangers, no question.

This

I have to say, the posts on this board have been second to none all off season. I’ll be up in Seattle in July for a wedding, and I hope to god that there is a home game.

LOL
