The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

Even we Dodger fans have to salute the Giants on an incredible year and an incredible World Series.Comment

I'm just so happy. I've been a Giants fan since 1965, when I was 9 years old. This is the reason why one stays with one team, goes through all the frustration, so you can have days like this. I know it's not important in the big picture of life, but I grew up in a baseball family. Thanks to my Dad, who passed away in 2007, for giving to me his love of baseball.

2012 World Series Champions!! San Francisco Giants!!! Woohoo!!Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.-Crash DavisComment

Big congrats to the Giants and their fans!
I'll be in San Francisco in early December. It's a pleasure to know the city will be in good spirits. :cap:Put it in the books.Comment

While I can't say I'm particularly happy about getting another rerun title this year, if we have to have one, the Giants are a good team for it to happen to. They have some really cool fans, and their recent history isn't littered with championships, so they are still somewhat sympathetic.
I'm glad it's over, frankly. Now I can have my life back.Comment

Guess the Tigers know what it feels like to get swept, eh? Payback is so sweet.

I thought payback involved the one doing the paying, not the one on the sidelines, out of it, just cheering on.Originally posted by Mr. Laser Beam View PostGuess the Tigers know what it feels like to get swept, eh? Payback is so sweet.

This question shouldn't be answered in this thread. This thread is for congratulating the Giants.Originally posted by Cap78 View Post
And these bitter backhanded congratulations by two Yankee fans show zero class. How about stepping up to the plate like an adult with your 27 championships and genuinely congratulating this year's champs?Put it in the books.Comment
