Congratulations San Francisco Giants, 2010 NL Champions

PrintSince the Dodgers/Giants moved West in 1958 one thing has been a constant. The Dodgers have won World Championships, the Giants have not. When you get in a heated or good natured discussion with a Giant fan you always know you have that big chip in your hip pocket that if they start getting to cocky you have the 59, 63, 65, 81, and 88 World Championships to pull from to put them back in their place. Nothing they can do but sputter because as good as the Giants have been over the same time frame they have ZERO World Championships.
Lots of great players, and they have come very very very close to hoisting that banner but for a McCovey right at em bullet, or a Scott Spezio three run special. But they didn't. Whether coming in 2nd in the league, playoffs, or World Series the Giants were always the bridesmaid.
Dodger fans have to hope the Rangers can make that happen once again. The Giants had a great 2010 season, a formidable pitching staff, a brilliant debut from their catcher, a come back season from Huff, a where did that season come from for Torres, and another solid offensive season from Juan Uribe of all people. They beat a great Phillie team, boasting the best threesome I've seen take the mound in the playoffs in a long time. The Giants were simply impressive, and any Dodger fan who doesn't think so is lying to themselves.
Come on Rangers, it has been a tough year for Dodger fans, let us end it on a high note, and let us keep that chip in our hip pocket. We need a win. Make it happen.

The only thing I care about for next season
is the Dodgers reaching the World Series. They don’t have to win it, they just need to be in it. I’m sick of watching everyone else in the NL West play in the Fall Classic. And now the Giants get to go again for the third time since the Dodgers were last in it. And they manhandled a team that dismantled the Dodgers the last two years to get there.
This is going to be a long, cold, dark offseason. Even if the Rangers win.
If we sign either of those guys,
we had better be prepared for that guy to be the best position player on the Dodgers for the next half-decade. Can you win a WS if Crawford or Werth is your best player?

I don’t know about Werth, but Crawford is a pretty legit #3 – #4 hitter. He might not hit more than 15 home runs per year (this year he hit 19) but I dunno, he doesn’t strike out as much, and his RISP batting avg is I think 50-60 points higher than his batting avg? It’s possible that we can win WS I suppose, just not impossible.
if you have a supporting cast of Matt Kemp(hopefully bounceback)
Andre, a healthy Furcal, and a front 3 of Kershaw, Billz and Lilly… yea

Of course I want the Dodgers to win the WS if they make it. But I’m also perfectly happy with them just reaching it. The last two years were just maddening, which just made the trainwreck of the second half of this year even more maddening. A World Series victory would be heaven, but just seeing them on the big stage, even if they fall short, would be a joy too.

Well I'm pretty happy Phillies lost
And my early playoff favorite Rangers will win this shit for sure so whatever. Can’t lie though, it’s a pretty big upset by Giants. Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels with SMALL TINY ASS BALL play by Giants? hm lol.
I love Utley’s reaction after hitting ball from Sanchez though “What? What is this bullshit?” LOL.
Oh yeah, one guy from MLB network said “Phillies fan is one of the best” LOL WTF? One of the best? hah that made my day that’s for sure.
The series was pretty even.
Phillies +1 in run differential. Just the fucking luck of the bouncing ball. That’s just the way baseball goes.
Phuck the Phucking Phillies
Don’t know when to loose, don’t know to win, Phuck ’em all. Victorino sucks balls. Ibanez sucks balls. I hope you are all happy.
Especially Ruiz
I don’t care how hard you drill that fucker, or the fact that some other fucker is the one that got caught off second.

Congrats indeed
To the Giants for doing something the Dodgers couldn’t do two years in a row: Beat the Phillies. Horns and celebration erupting everywhere
I think the Giants only won because the Phillies were not the same team this NLCS. They just didn’t play with the same fire and intensity that they had the last two years. If they had played this way in ’08 and ’09 I think the Dodgers have at least one pennant to hang at Chavez Ravine. They just got the Phillies the wrong year.

A year ago
The Phillies find a way to score after a leadoff double by Ibanez. A year ago, the Phillies take advantage of a wild 9th inning Wilson. But time and time again they couldn’t come up with the big hit this series, where they would have in previous years.

Matt Stairs was in San Diego
and it appears on the surface the Giant bullpen made the right pitch when they needed to and the Dodger bullpen didn’t. How many stupid walks did the Giant bullpen do this series? Did they ever walk the pitcher once?

Brian Wilson is all kinds of great and maybe an Office fan
Tim Kurkjian: What do you have to say to all the Giants fans in San Francisco right now?
Brian Wilson: I hope you guys are going absolutely ballistic. Cause we’re gonna get on a flight tomorrow and we’re going to join you. FACT!
I heard that on the radio driving home. Wilson is pretty hilarious.

The Phillies will be paying this in 2011 - committed thus far $143.728M
Top salaries
Howard – $20M
Halladay – $20M
Oswalt – $16M
Utley – $15.286M
Ibanez – $12.166M
Lidge – $12M
Blanton – $10.5M
Hamels – $9.5M
Rollins – $8.5M
Victorino – $7.5M
Wow
so they really can’t afford Werth, unless they can unload Lidge. Shocked that Rollins is near the bottom, I just assumed he’d signed a huge deal. That Ibanez deal is really going to hurt them if they lose Werth because they signed Ibanez.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Yeah
They could sign Werth and just backload the shit out of it where he’ll take over the room Ibanez is taking up now.
I don't always walk, but when I do, it's into Mordor.
The downside for the rest of us is that, even without Werth, they are still likely the best team in the NL East.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 23, 2010 9:24 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm counting on Oswalt
to totally become average. I’m glad he’s not on our pitching staff at that salary. Chase is declining, Ryan peaked, Victorino is now a fourth outfielder starting everyday, Ibanez is old, Polanco is old, Rollins sucks. Ruiz might be their best player in 2011:)

Spreading the signing bonuses out when they aren’t paid on that schedule only serves to affect the luxury tax, which might be an issue with the Phillies.
In actual 2011 payments, they have 16 players under contract for $139.6 million, and if they exercise J.C. Romero’s option ($4.5 million or $250,000 buyout) they will have $143.85 million for 17 players.
(I assumed $9m for Oswalt, because I couldn’t find the actual payout schedule, just that Houston is paying $11 million of the ~$23 million)
by Eric Stephen on Oct 23, 2010 9:51 PM PDT up reply actions
The luxury tax threshold in 2011 is $178 million, per the CBA, so the Phillies won’t touch that. No reason to spread the signing bonuses over the life of the contract when they aren’t paid as such.

Giants are definitely getting the very most out of their team this year. There’s no way Huff, Uribe, Torres play this good next year.
So in that regard, I dont think they are that much better than the rest of the NL West. But it would really suck if they got a trophy out of this collection of misfits having career years.
I still dont think they are the best team in the West. Whatevers, thats baseball. anything can happen in a 7 game series, and the 8th inning alone just shows how luck can decide a season.

I hate it but won’t let it cloud my judgement about an entire city, And they are even bigger into the Niners, who have sucked for years after a long good run but still have a hardcore base. You’re just off base, but at least you admit why at the end. :-)

TBLA is just trying to show we're above the petty
angry stuff you’d see if the reverse happened, on Giants blogs. We can rise above it!
Still, fuck G fans the same way many here have asked it upon Carlos Ruiz: in the heart.

Eh just very annoyed
Haven’t been here for a while… Absolutely had no reason to watch the NLCS… I might actually watch the World Series now, just to see the knuckleheads get crushed by Hamilton & Co.

Something we can all root for
I am gonna worry about this stupid World Series now when I didn’t want to have to. Please Rangers, do this for us, your brothers in blue.

Is there still a basement there?
Send the Giants to the basement!

Most of us are already in our mom's basement.

Anyone know anything about office chairs
Need to get one for my wife, can’t afford to get a real chair since they cost like 600 bucks, just need something cheap that won’t break in 3 days.

this has been an almost comically tragic season for Dodger fans
I originally come from Yankee territory, though I have been a hardcore Dodger fan for about 3 years now. Even before that, I had some Dodger roots, as I cheered them on against the Mets in ‘88, visited Dodger Stadium fairly regularly since the early 90’s, and have lived in SoCal since ‘98. Also, for what it’s worth, my grandpa switched from the Yankees to the Brooklyn Dodgers after they picked up Jackie Robinson. So in a way, defecting to the Dodgers is a family tradition! I bring all this up, because the final missing piece for me was that I never truly “got” the Dodger/Giant rivalry. But seeing the Giants celebrate on the exact same field, in almost the exact same situation that the Dodgers couldn’t close out last year in game 5…boy, do I get now.
I would imagine that Juan Uribe has now sort of become to the Phillies what Carlos Ruiz is to us. In fact, Juan Uribe has become to the Phillies what Juan Uribe is to us, seeing how much damage he’s done against us the past couple of years. A few other thoughts at the close of this NLCS:
-For those that claim baseball is boring, or the games are too long, all you have to do is point to this epic series to show otherwise. MLB has its problems, but nothing in sports beats those nail-biting 9th innings.
-I hope that Bengie Molina ends up being the World Series MVP. If not him, then Cliff Lee. And finally:
-With all due respect to Jamison Moss, who seems like a great guy that has provided a lot of entertainment at DS over the past year and a half, if they dare try to play “Don’t Stop Believing” at Dodger Stadium next opening day, we should boo so loud that no one even hears the music playing after the intro.
Go Rangers…
I really think that song is dead in Dodger Stadium
so we shouldn’t have to worry. If I’m wrong there should indeed be a riot. Would be one of the all time clueless bit of spacey marketing .

Since the Giants last won a World Series
10 Presidents
2 States admitted to the Union
Man landed on the moon
Celtics and Lakers have won 33 NBA championships
19 different teams have won a World Series
Super Bowl started (as AFL vs. NFL title game)
Of baseball teams that have moved from original location, 6 out of 10 have won a World Series in their current location (includes Angels who started out playing in Los Angeles). The Rangers (started as the Washington Senators) or the Giants will become the 7th team.

I like this one the most

Go Freddie Sanchez
I like that Freddie was a Dodger fan growing up. And let everybody watching Fox TV know about it. Sweet.
Uribe. I went to ATT Park (great ballpark by the way) and he hit a walk-off HR last year against the Dodgers. Great game. Andre got a hit off Lincecum to tie the game in the top of the eighth and the Dodger fans around us were going nuts. Except for some of my Giants fan friends. :-) Great rivalry.
I’ll be a Dodger fan next year..
Looking forward to a good Series.
Last night
I heard for the first time, the remake of Don’t Stop Believing…in the Giants!!! I was about to cry at the bar.
haha, ya. A trolley and other cars were driving down Polk st. last night honking horns, crowds of people . . . etc. This is what happens when you live in a relatively small city. In LA, it’s so spread out, you dont get that kind of camaraderie.
I gotta envy that aspect.
This weather in SF is God's punishment
for an Evil Thing happening. ;-)
