thebes Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Ok for little league ball it'sOK. Couldn't watch last night ause I was at a concert with Chucho Valdés and the Afro-Cuban Messengers.[<)] Kidding aside I think it's great to see teams with grit and gumption playing for the ring. It's a classical American story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been loving every second ('cept for those inane Taco Bell commercials where Joe Girardi feels up a dude's butt). Tonight is a rematch between Lincecum and Lee. I think the Giants got off easy last time, and I'm sure we'll see the real Cliff Lee tonight. This could be the biggest battle of the series. WATCH! Go Gigantes!

The way I look at it Lee should have pitched last night. Back in the day the ace of staff always started games 1,4 and 7. Now they are all prima donnas need their rest. It is the World Series get out there and pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Cliff, that's right! Also, there were many more complete games in the good ol' days. I've heard that Lee particularly hates pitching on short rest. He'd have been forced to, had the Rangers not won game 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Like I said earlier it is THE WORLD SERIES, get out there and do your job. (Todays Professional athletes overpaid and pampered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 three presidents at the game last night--Bush1, Bush2, and President Madison Bumgarner. Go Giants! Honorable mention to my beloved Raiders and their two-game win streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yeah, the Giants have Brian Wilson and his "Fear The Beard" slogan, so I was thinking maybe the Rangers could go with "Fear The Bush." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 VIVA RENTERIA!! I think I would have had a better chance understanding his post game interview if he just spoke in spanish. Great Player and a MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 B E A U T I F U L i wish my Dad was alive to see this--one of my very few memories of him was sitting in the backyard at our house in Hayward and he's listening to the Giants game on the radio (circa 1965). To my fellow Giants fans on the forum--Finally...enjoy. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Congrats to the giants and their fans. Some would say it was a disappointment for the rangers and fans to see the world series championship celebrated by the visitors, but I say how many fans can say they ever saw one at all? The last game of the season has always been sad in a way for me, but this time since it involved my home team, a place I lived before the team even appeared, where I had summer jobs at the stadium, it's different---and better.

fini Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 This thing is still sinking in. Today (taking it easy after a facet joint injection) I'm watching the local Comcast.net's coverage of the post-game celebrations (at Arlington, in the streets of San Francisco, and in the studio), and I'm loving it. What an amazing game, series, post-season and season. Aubrey Huff told a story about a pre-game meeting the team had this year in Chicago, where Renteria broke down, telling how much he wanted to go all the way this season (perhaps his last). It was a moment that changed the team. That game, they went out and scored 10 runs in two innings, and the rest of the season is history. Probably the best pitching staff in baseball, and a different player every night doing the offensive damage. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted November 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2010 Congratulations to the fans of the Giants !

BigStewMan Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Congratulations to the fans of the Giants ! I have to admit I did not watch any of the games, I can't stay awake and watch baseball, I have tried it, I fall asleep every time. no way i could have fallen asleep last night. that game was exciting. me, being a lover of defense and good pitching, loved it. seeing a pitcher dominate the way lincecum did was very cool. i also enjoy watching the player's reactions. i'm glad that the camera is also watching the dugout. it's very cool to see people celebrating (as long as it wasn't the rangers in this case). so, i'm two for two as a fan. Lakers are defending champions, now the Giants...so let's go Raiders--give me the fan trifecta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
