DETROIT -- Marco Scutaro singled home the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Sunday night to complete a four-game sweep and win their second World Series title in three years.

Ryan Theriot, who went hitless for St. Louis in Game 7 of last year's Series, singled softly into right field off Phil Coke opening the 10th. Brandon Crawford sacrificed, nearly bunting the ball past Coke. Angel Pagan struck out and Scutaro singled into short center field as Theriot slid home ahead of Austin Jackson's throw.

I never liked Bonds and always felt he was a drag on that team with his diva-like demands and ego.

Jeff Kent was a bigger drag (and diva) than Bonds.

In fact, Kent is one of the few super stars whose teams actually had a better winning percentage without him than with him.

The Giants swept the Pennant race and they swept the Series. How many teams have done that?

fair enough...and the O curse still seems to be in full effect. Let’s hope his cheering for himself at this point will bode well for Romney
