Of course you didn’t know it was played. It’s hard to know anything at all with your head so far up your B-U-T-T funnyman.

Who Are these Guys? Several steroid users on a team with a derided GM who would pick up any cast-off at any cost after 10 years of futility in SF other than the 2002 World Series appearance featuring none other than Bonds and his sterry friends. http://www.RoadToSuccess.us

as grateful as I am for all of this
Sabes is the luckiest guy on the entire team, luckier than any of us fans,,, the roster is a fluke,, name a SINGLE positions player that is one of “his” guys, not a cast off, not an over paid, even none are his first choice free agent vets,, Renteria plays a great two weeks out of TWO YEARS at 9MILLION PER, yikes,, Franchez, best two weeks as a Giant, not healthy when traded for and not healthy when signed to extension,,,This team was healthier and flashed more leather than anytime all year in October, and Novemver,, man the breaks that come to make a World Series Winner just make it all so so so sweet,, need I go on? Uribe, on his second one year deal cuz not wanted two years in a row?! Huff, without a job and, what, third choice in January,, Torres? you tell me, pure luck? part of a plan? genius? Marc DeRosa makes more than Huff as a cheerleader and is signed for one more year, yikes, this guy can sure call the veteran signings,,,, and,,, let’s,,,, not go back any further than that OK,, oh the painful names,, oh the joy of winning erases so much ,, credit for the draft, for sure,,, wouldn’t have been there if his overall vision was of over paid, washed up vets wasn’t so clear and part of some master plan,, NOR,, Sabes is one lucky mofo for sure,,,, man oh man oh man we suffered with BENJIE MOLINA hitting CLEAN UP for two years!!!! I loved me some Molina, but not batting CLEAN UP, that was Sabes vision, that vision got those high draft picks that have been so huge,,, history and the draft? this has been pure pure luck that the picks are as good as dreamed that we are celebrating and sets us up with a good future window,,,, the next few will years will tell, can the Sabes put it together, put enough together to win again?, with allllll that young pitching and a Posey too!! I feared that this was another year of wasted great young pitching, so so so lucky to be tipping cars and vandalizing downtown right now,, please Sabes don’t waste the next couple years with more of your “vision”

Congratulations to the 2010 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants. The entire organization deserves credit for this incredible victory. The Giants out-pitched, out-defended and out-hit every team that came up against them this post season. They were money and having them win the NLCS on my 60th birthday was a fantastic present.

All is well in the universe.

I can’t believe they won. I sincerely cannot believe they won.

The Rangers are an awesome, likable team and I wish them many great years. I think they’ll be lodged at the top of the AL West for some time.

And, Craig, thanks for the awesome post.

The cars have been streaming up and down El Camino Real, honking, their passengers celebrating an incredible win. They’re still at it about 120 minutes after game time. What a fabulous feeling. I hope it carries over for a while.

Craig, you know I’ve always said you’ve been too hard on Sabean. I never called him a genius-I won’t start now-but I always thought a lot of his decisions during the Bonds days were owner driven. And now he’s done something completely unlikely I hope he gets a bit more praise than you gave him above. It’s a results driven business and he’s delivered.

Finally, it’s no accident that the Giants had the lowest team ERA in the MLB this year. Sure it’s a pitcher’s park. But to be the absolute lowest your guys have to be pretty good also. And yes they were impossibly good in these 5 games. But that’s what happens in short series sometimes: one team gets hot and dominates another. It just happened to be the Giants, and we’re very happy about that here by the Bay (even us Oakland fans.)

Perfect take. The Giants were the best team on earth in October, and have a wonderful core of young talent to build on. Enjoy this San Francisco, it is overdue but deserved.

Well said. Lincecum is a star, and Cain, Posey, and Bumgarner all appear headed in that direction.
