Giants win the National League West

There’s no way to take this for granted. After every one-pitch out from a hitter who should not have been in the big leagues, after every blown save from a pitcher who had no business being a closer, after every single to the outfield that couldn’t score a hitter from second, we wondered when things were going to get better. Draft days were serious business -- people freaked out and cursed the front office over the selections of amateur players that almost no one had ever seen play. If the Giants whiffed on those high picks, the spiral would continue.
So they drafted a skinny kid out of Washington.
They drafted a high-school pitcher when Beau Mills was available. Those horrible, horrible people. Didn't they know the Giants needed power?
A catcher in the first round? Maybe that will work out, but what if he isn’t able to hit for power? Seems kind of risky.
While these players were on their journey to the majors, the Giants were losing. And it wasn’t a graceful kind of losing. It was a dark void.
There’s no way to take this for granted.
Think about how many great stories there are on this team. Matt Cain, who just turned 26, is the longest tenured Giant, and he has suffered horrific loss after horrific loss. Aubrey Huff was unwanted last winter; he’s in the playoffs for the first time, largely because of his own play. A rookie catcher -- a rookie! -- came up and managed the staff to a legendary September while also being one of the team’s best hitters. Pat Burrell, as he’s fond of saying, could have been watching all this from home. Tim Lincecum’s career was obviously finished in August, at least if you listened to all the wrong people.
The eighth and ninth innings were locked down by homegrown products with questionable draft pedigrees. The seventh and eighth innings were locked down by mercenaries and deadline acquisitions. Jonathan Sanchez went at least three seasons without knowing if he was going to survive the trade deadline and offseason. The little pieces acquired by Sabean helped a bunch -- there wasn’t a blockbuster, but sometimes quantity over quality works just fine. Andres Torres just might be the most surprising four-win player in history. Sounds like a question for the offseason. What an amazing find.
Freddy Sanchez, who has watched a lot of bad baseball in his career, finally gets to see the postseason. Without his two-out, run-scoring hit, the Giants are probably still killing us with a 0-0 game. Every Eckstein at-bat could have turned into a bloop double, which would have been followed by a grounder to second, which would have been followed up with a sacrifice fly or a wild pitch. That was the fear, at least.
Man, this team, this disparate collection of personalities, has been absolutely amazing to watch.
And it’s easy to be magnimous after a victory, but, man, the Padres. I hated the talk about who the Giants should or should not prefer in the playoffs -- it’s not like the Giants were going to clinch, look up, and go, "The Pirates? How did they get here?" If a team wants to win the World Series, they will have to beat three good teams. That’s kind of the point.
But, brother, I did not want to see the Padres in the playoffs. Not because I hate the Padres, but because I hate how the Padres played the Giants. I hated how many good arms they had in their bullpen. I hated seeing David Eckstein foul off dozens of 97-mph fastballs to put a ball in play. I hated seeing Adrian Gonzalez play baseball because I couldn’t help but appreciate how danged good he was. I hate that a slappy goof like Luis Durango -- who didn’t even know that he was in a two-strike situation in the ninth inning -- can make Giants fans twitch with a ten-pitch at-bat against Brian Wilson. The Padres were good. They shouldn’t hang their heads.
I’ll try to write more when the feeling returns to my fingers. And I should probably take a shower -- pacing and sweating for three hours will do that.
The Giants are in the playoffs. The Giants are going to the postseason. The Giants have won the National League West.
Magic.

I said the same thing
“Today, it was a player Sabean traded for who delivered the first run. His free agent signing that immediately followed with a RBI-double. It was his relief pitcher that struck out Miguel Tejada with two on and two out in the top of the seventh during the biggest game in seven years.

Joe,
I did indeed live in Madrid, ’72-75. Spain under Franco was a very unusual place, almost pre-modern. I attended the Complutense for about half the time, then taught American English to the upper crust.
A batch of us UC folk lived on Reina Mercedes, which is just north of Cuatro Caminos. It’s no a short walk to the Facultad de Filosofia y Letras, but I did it many times because there really wasn’t a metro run at the time and the buses were very crowded at that hour.
Most of the Californianos went home for good, but I went back for another year and lived at Maldonado 40. It was way on the east side back then, but it might not be on the outskirts any more. I don’t remember the metro stop for that one. Alcala? It wasn’t far from Avenida de las Americas.
Lavapies is in the old town, south of Sol. Very cool. Do you have A/C? My Madrilena friend who teaches art history in England says she went last month and could find no relief from the 30+ heat.
Favorite watering hole: El Parador de la Moncloa, just a few meters from the Moncloa metro stop. Probably still there.

Very cool
I do not have air conditioning unfortunately – it was a pretty hot August/September here so I wish I did because I was dying from the heat at night. Lavapies is quiet close to Sol, maybe a 5 min walk, but has turned into kind of an immigrant town with a lot of Indios, Chinos and Moroccans. It is still pretty fun because of all the Doner Kebap places.
I have not seen el parador, but have visited the downtown area of Moncloa a handful of times. There is this really cool cave bar with cheap chupitos. Great city, great country…great god the giants are in the playoffs

They’re better in LF, RF, 3B, SS, 2B. We have a better catcher (while theirs is also good), and a better CF (while theirs is also good) and a better 1B.
It’s not like our defense is so much better that it will make a difference in a short series.

Repost from previous thread: Home Runs and Playoff Suns
The champagne rained down like some Old Testament storm, covering every exposed surface, soaking every body in the room. The moment Posey leapt up from the dish, the dugout went nuts and there was no sign of it winding down anytime soon. The throng of people included theplayers, managers, batboys, front office staff and reporters. The place looked like fucking Times Square on V-E Day, and why not? Going to the playoffs for the first time in seven years was something to be savored, even if it caused a few heart attacks along the way.
Huff was just wrapping up an interview when Burrell came up behind him and wrapped him in a tight bear hug. Aubrey broke free, grin a mile wide, and turned around to face him.
"We did it!" Burrell yelled.
"We did it!" Aubrey echoed.
Burrell laughed. "Dude, I could feel that ass-grab all the way in the dugout."
"You saw that?"
"It was on television."
"Shit."
They both broke into boisterous laughter. Aubrey flicked his hands, sending a mini-shower of champagne onto Pat’s chest. "It’s gonna take a week to get this smell off me," he said.
"I don’t mind it at all. Smells like the playoffs."
The two men fell into silence as the weight of Pat’s remark sank in.
Aubrey repeated it, almost in a whisper. "Playoffs."
"We’re really going," Pat said. "And it’s going to be awesome. When I was with Philly — God, it was like nothing you’d believe."
"I know it will be," Aubrey said. "I can’t wait."
Pat furrowed his brow. "So, let’s see. It’s Atlanta starting Thursday. We’ll probably send Timmy and Cain out, they’ll probably throw us Hudson and Hanson. Unless, of course, they decide to get creative an—"
The rest of his sentence disappeared as Aubrey gently placed his index finger to Pat’s lips.
"Pat," he said, "Let whatever happens on Thursday happen on Thursday. Let’s live tonight first."
Burrell shook his head and chuckled. "You’re right. Absolutely right. We did it."
Huff nodded as another downburst of champagne washed down over them and another round of cheers erupted from the center of the clubhouse. "Yes, we did."

The A$$ Grab From Huff
I think I may be the only one to catch the meaning of the Huff “ass grab” after his double. Tejada does this thing after a big hit where he throws his arm up with this hand open to represent “spotlight”. Huff’s facial expression and the motion is an obvious F you to the Padres—who all began doing it once Tejada showed up…
WTF Really?

The Giants won the division, The Giants won the division!
Nice work in their season finale shutting the Padres down on 4 hits with Jonathon Sanchez tossing 5 superb innings and the pen doing their usual the final 4. They actually have an ERA? Freddy Sanchez had the clutch 2 out base hit following the triple by pitcher Jonathon Sanchez that drove in what ended up being the winning run and Aubrey Huff, in his 1479th game with impressive numbers along the way without post season play, which finally ended today and is well deserved, chipped in with a triple to quickly pad the lead. Super Rook Buster Posey hit a solo shot late in the game to make it 3-0 which is where it stayed with Brian Wilson closing it out with a 1-2-3 9th for his 48th save. The Giants made it look easy by quickly squashing a few minor rallies along the way and they clearly dominated this game. One couldn’t have written a better script. Congratulations on a great 2nd half! 51-30 took them all the way to the top. You play 1st place baseball that’s where you’ll end up. For the 1st time in 7 years it’s post season time & it’s off to play against Connie Mack Jr., Bobby Cox, in his final managerial season in the NLDS. . Great Work by an absolutely Great Team!

I now have tickets to Game 3 on Sunday in Atlanta!
Two reasons this is especially awesome:
1) I have NEVER BEEN to a Giants postseason game before. The only times they’ve made it when I’ve been in the Bay Area were 1987 and 1997. 1989 came just a couple of months after my family moved New Jersey. 2000 came just a month after I moved to New York. 2002 and 2003, I was still in New York.
2) Until this came up, 2010 was going to be the first year since 1986 when I wasn’t able to go to a single Giants game all year.
FUCK YEAH!

I remember 1993.
In 1993, it felt like we were the only team that could beat the Phillies.
But Bobby Cox and the Braves knocked us out.
The Rockies and Dodgers lent no small assistance.
1993.
So painful.
It’s time to pay the piper.
We’ve sent the Dodgers into their death-spiral.
We’ve kicked the Rockies’ teeth in.
We captured the NL West that was rightfully ours.
We’ve beaten the henchmen. It’s time for the boss level.
Now it’s time to send Bobby Cox into retirement with a loss.
And- no offense, Cincy, but I’ll believe it when I see it- it’s time to prove that we can still beat Philly.
Get ready, National League.
You’re about to get a bright orange bat upside your head.

I was 9 years old, and I remember how bad ’93 hurt. 2002 takes the cake for most painful season, but ’93 follows close behind.
In fact, I have to be reminded by my dad now and again that the Braves aren’t the Giants’ playoff-hopes killer they used to be. I don’t care. The Braves made the List of Teams I Freaking Hate a long time ago, and there’s no way off that list.
We beat the NL West like a red-headed stepchild, and it’s time to take on the rest of the league one division at a time. First stop: Atlanta.
Game. On.

Wilson was alleged to have been complicit in the murder of four teams’ playoff chances since early April. He will appear in federal district court in San Francisco with court-appointed lawyer Bruce Bochy (L) for an arraignment scheduled for early November.

My Giants media blackout was almost successful
As I’ve mentioned before, sometimes I get a bit, uh, anxious about the Giants. Enough that at critical times it’s best that I don’t watch. After Friday and Saturday (especially Friday), I decided that I could have no part of today’s game. I had to drive my partner to the train station at 4:30, and if the Giants had lost, odds were I would have wrapped my car around a tree.
So I was doing a great job, assiduously avoiding Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, e-mail, English language television, and anything else that could tell me how it was going. At 4:30, as we were about to leave, I grabbed my wallet, keys, and my cell phone. I have a Droid with the Yahoo mail app, and at that moment it flashed an update in the status bar: “Congrats Giants!”
What a wonderful day.

Top 10 reasons it was unfortunate that the Giants won today:
Drum roll, please, Anton.
10. It’s not nice to make Jerry Coleman cry.
9. Teams that make mid-season improvements should never be rewarded.
8. It makes Bengie Molina look bad.
7. John Bowker doesn’t get a ring.
6. ESPN has to waste valuable time on silly west-coast teams.
5. Teams with old players should never win anything.
4. TBS.
3. Fox.
2. Phil Cuzzi is off the hook.
And the #1 reason:
1. Decades more of Sabean and Bochy!

No.
It is exactly in these moments of transcendent euphoria that we need to remember that not everything tinged by association with a fine bunch of men is itself necessarily fine. The gambler who hits the jackpot by betting against immense odds makes his family and friends very happy, but he is still a stupid gambler. We all congratulate the 2010 Giants players, who are pretty much to a one not only good ball players but good guys (yes, even the people you hiss and boo). Even Bochy is just a good ol’ boy who means well by everyone, and God bless him for meaning well. Sabean is both an incompetent and an unpleasant person. Let’s just not forget that.
We now return you to your irregularly scheduled euphoria. But first, a special thank-you to Aubrey Huff for the spotlight gesture: Thank you, Aubrey.

Grant, i've been here for just over a year
and one thing that i’ve appreciated about you is the fact you come here every day, no matter how bad the giants have been. Something that i need to say though, is i couldn’t have asked for a better way to end my weekend than with this.
My dad has been awfully depressed ever since 2 years ago, and this helped a little bit. It’s something that makes me smile and cry, that my dad finally cracked a smile for the first time in 2 years.
The weekend started with finding out my step mom lost her job, my dad is still unemployed, i’m not sure what i’m doing after school, my dad still depressed day in and day out, still an alcoholic, but finally i have something to be happy about, it’s unbelievable what sports can do for you.

As soon as we got back to civilization and I could pick up a Wifi connection, I checked MLB At Bat. I had to reread it several times before I believed that it really said Giants 3 Padres 0 and I wasn’t flipping it around.
Oh man.
I feel like I cheated a bit, missing this final series, but I am so glad we made it.
Now to spend the next hour and a half until my flight leaves watching all of the highlight videos! (Free Wifi FTW)

Timmy dropping the elated F-bomb on TV after clinching the NL West took me back to a young William Nuschler Clark doing the EXACT same thing way back in 1987. So friggin’ funny!!! I was 11 years old when Will the Thrill hit the scene and he was my childhood hero ever after. I’m raising my one-month old son to be a Giants fan (he was born right at the start of this amazing September run). I hope someday his heroes will be guys like Timmy, Buster, and Bumgarner.

Once again . . .
. . . the point is entirely missed. The criticisms had—or should have had—zip to do with any man’s performance; the question was whether some unwritten Code of the West had been breached. It was a question of manners, so to speak. And, by the way, Guillen only said that afterward, in response to a rather snippy question from Baggerly (which Baggerly describes as “joking”, yeah, sure).

yep, a 3GS
I snapped this pic rounding 2nd base after the game. My sister and I were just hanging around to watch the postgame show on the scoreboard when an usher told us that in celebration of the division title, the Kids Run The Bases was open to everyone. So of course, we had to go.
By the time we got down there, it was getting a bit crowded, so the run was more of a walk. I was taking a bunch of pictures and movies and just lucked out that they flashed that message on the screen again just as I got a clear view.
This one required a little fixing-up in Photoshop. The crappy part wasn’t so much the camera as it was my picture-taking skills. Plus, I only had a second to take the picture.

This season is not like the others
Ever since their last time in the playoffs, I’ve held no true, deep-seated hope about the Giants. Every pre-season burst of optimism was filled with “if he stays healthy” and “if that guy has a career year.” Anytime I set up hopes for myself after spring training, they were dashed. The Giants were a fading team, always getting older, never getting better.
I feared a PIttsburgh-like sewer of middling incompetence. I hoped for slow development, but I never hoped for true, real, lasting hope. Hope that burst up from within, that came unexpectedly out of the shadows. But that’s what happened.
Settling myself for long years of waiting, suddenly this team emerged, carried on youthful shoulders (broad, like a catcher’s shoulder’s should be), led by men, not boys, with cannons for arms. The older players were support, leadership, guidance, but they contributed, too.
I haven’t felt this good about the Giants since Will Clark was here, and I was a kid then. I feel like one again.

Go Giants!
Thank you Grant, and posters. I read and rarely post. Partly because I’m blocked from this site at work, partly because I’m kind of an optimist who’s big argument on this site was defending the Matheny signing back in the dizzay. But I’ve been a faithful reader since 2004 when I was searching the web for Giants stuff, and came across Waiting For Boof. I read this line and I was hooked:
Though a real first baseman would be outstanding as well, it is pretty obvious the Giants need a starting pitcher to replace Brett Tomko. Tomko has a decent fastball and curve combo when he can control it, and it often seems like he’s just one pitch away from being a productive starter. Unfortunately, that pitch — a 97 mph screwball thrown with the glove hand and controlled with his mind — is still very much a work in progress.
This site has been a great way to follow the team during the down years. The humor, hope and ideas made it fun when the results on the field weren’t there to match.
I was almost excited to log in after the game today to see the joy as I was to watch that final high heater. Almost…
Bring on the Braves!
