Hmmmm, who to despise the most or despise the least?
SF Giants overcome 6 elimination games! i love TORTURE!
i love the GIANTS, and i still have a heart for the City by the Bay...
The Tigers have already taken care of one Bay Area team, so they should feel right at home in SF.
Yup. The Giants are incredible fighters! Never say die!

Sounds like me comptemplating a Dodgers/Yankees World Series! :)
According to Wikipedia, Whitey Lockman was on second and Clint Hartung on third (as a pinch runner for Mueller) when Bobby Thompson hit The Shot Heard Round the World.
Apparently there were 8 guys on base.
And Willy Mays was on deck.
BooYah!
I agree, the Dodgers are getting better. Ever since they hired the GIANTS assistant general manager, they have progressed. ;)
omgosh! i concur! i must admit, back in 1981 i half-heartedly went for the Dodgers because they were the National League team... and the underdogs...
Speaking of the Yankees . . . it will sure be interesting to see what they try and do to pull themselves out of the mess they spent themselves into. I predict they go full Obama . . . spend MORE.
The Giants have great chemistry - something that cannot be bought.
Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval are the only position players on the roster from the 2010 World Series Championship team, and Sandoval wasn’t on the active roster during the 2010 playoffs.
Aubrey Huff was also on both teams, but has played very little in 2012
The Giants GM, Brian Sabean, has a knack for finding players like 37 year old Journeyman Marco Scutaro (and NLCS MVP) who did nothing but hit the snot out of the ball since being traded to SF this summer.
No big salaries, (other than the pitching staff) no big egos.
It seems that everyone is just having a good time, fans and players and it creates great chemistry which equals wins.
It will be tough to beat Justin Verlander, but all the experts said the Giants wouldn’t beat Cliff Lee once, let alone twice in 2010.
The Tigers definitely have the advantage, but that’s why they play the games - no one thought the Giants would come back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the defending World Series Champions, especially with Barry Zito (Who wasn’t on the active roster for the 2010 playoffs) pitching Game 5 in St. Louis, but they did, and it was back to SF for the final two games.
Well anyway thank God for MLB. Thanks for the few minutes of time that MLB spares us from the hardships we face every day. I love baseball and always will.
