Post-game thread: Giants take the championship home to San Francisco
by Grant Brisbee on Nov 1, 2010 8:42 PM PDT
Email
PrintEvery roster move and every transaction was an attempt to lead to this. Every barstool argument about the merits of Mike Aldrete or Eugenio Velez, every guttural cheer in the close wins, and every expletive in the close losses was created with the implicit understanding that the San Francisco Giants could possibly, maybe, if everything broke their way, could conceive of having a chance to potentially one day win the World Series. Maybe. The Giants would win, and they’d hold the trophy up high as idiots ran around and sprayed each other with champagne.
That’s why we spent so much time trying to figure out if it was a good idea to trade Kirt Manwaring for Rick Wilkins, or hoping that Milt May really was the heir to Willie McCovey’s throne: the stupid, unrealistic promise that the San Francisco Giants could win the World Series.
Words fail.
So, so many things had to go right for this. Nine teams had to pass on Tim Lincecum. Twenty-nine had to pass on Aubrey Huff. Edgar Renteria had to play through a torn bicep and a strained old. Some players had to stay healthy, and other players had to get hurt to make room for the players who would lead the Giants to a World Series title.
The Giants won the World Series. The San Francisco Giants. No foolin’. It’s on Wikipedia and everything.

I can't figure out how to make the grey box with a link,
but on Aug. 1, 2010, I pointed out that we were the last team to lose a game in regular season, and that it would sure be nice to be the last team to win in the postseason.
clears throat
Woot.

The first ever Spring Training game I went to was Giants/As and the Giants (led by Will Clark) won.
Ever since then, I have always considered the Giants my favorite NL team (I’m mostly an Ms fan).

Lots of great memories there for me.
For so many years it was just fine to me because it was the only place I could go to see the Giants—I didn’t know any better. So happy that we now have ATT, but I didn’t realize that place sucked, and because of that, I loved it. It’s where I saw Dave Draveck come back from cancer, it’s where I saw Barry Bonds play in 1993. It’s where I saw Will Clark and Kevin Mitchell go back to back on what felt like a cold winters night. I didn’t care, that’s where I watched the Giants.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
I do

$2.50 bleachers.
My college days in late 80s. Beers were more expensive than the seats.
We usually sat under the scoreboard, before they put the bleachers in even.
Some nights during the past season was like that
$9 beers and $5 seats.

The Giants swept a doubleheader from Cincy (managed by Pete Rose at that time) in 1987 to complete a 4-game sweep and pull into a 1st place tie in the old NL West. The Giants went on to win the division — and break my heart in the NLCS.

I loved Candlestick
Because that was where I got a Ken Henderson bat at Bat Day. Saw Juan Marichal beat the Cardinals in 1973, and Bobby Bonds catch the last out of the game. Watched a twi-night double-header in 1976 with my brother. Saw the flying Wallendas between games in a rainy doubleheader in 1977. Hung out with my friend Dan and 1,600 people at a 1985 game. Heard “Working for the Clampdown” during the ’87 playoffs. Sat with my dad in the last game he ever saw. Brought my 2-year-old daughter to a game where Bret Saberhagen took a perfect game into the seventh, and the Giants broke it up. And about a thousand other moments. I loved Candlestick because I love the Giants. I have my whole life.

You're alright, Neyer
Meanwhile, as a baseball fan (as opposed to a Giants fan), it’s really easy to enjoy this team’s success. The Giants wear classic uniforms in a beautiful ballpark. Their roster is studded with fascinating players like Tim Lincecum, Pablo Sandoval and Brian Wilson. Their manager was forced to make any number of tough decisions down the stretch and into the postseason, and nearly all of them worked brilliantly.
This one’s for the fans who love the Giants, mostly. But there’s plenty left over for the rest of us, too.

Every time there was a Giants win, he had a long, rambling preamble that washed out a postscript of ‘ohbytheway, the best team won.’ The one game that the Rangers won, it was “the game that went the way it was supposed to.”
I said this last night, but that the Giants outplayed the Rangers was never omitted, but it had the distinct feeling of a concession rather than a conclusion.

56 years since last title, 52 years in the San Francisco era. Eh, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I have to say that with everything going on this postseason, with every story that came with this team, between Ross and Huff and Posey and Lincecum and Bumgarner and Oh My God Cain and Torres and Renteria and Javy Lopez and Brian Wilson, I’m not sure that I consistently enjoyed watching any single player over the last month more than Freddy Sanchez. He was a joy to watch with the bat, and an absolute gem to watch with the glove. Sure, there were more exciting players, more interesting players, more impactful players… but on a sheer gut-level wow-this-is-just-artistry-at-work-every-single-night-on-the-biggest-stage level… it was Freddy Sanchez.
I never thought I’d be saying that.

Good times, memories made between generations. Thanks again, Giants.

My roommate, the prophet
In spring training, we talked about our respective teams (me with the Giants, her with the Yankees). I thought the team would barely break .500, she said the Giants will go to the World Series.
In the NLCS, when we were up 3-1, I thought we’d win Game 5. She said the Phillies would, but the Giants would win in 6.
In the World Series, with the Giants up 2-0, I said the Giants could sweep. She said (and bet on) the Giants would win in 5.
Thank you, psychic roommate.

BULLETIN
It’s been brought to my attention that there may be an election of some kind tomorrow. And I need to at least have some semblance of sanity for our coverage. So it’s off to bed with me.
I know I’m relatively new to the whole baseball thing in general, but I can’t tell you how much I’ve grown to love this team since the spring of 2009. I know that sounds completely lame to every who suffered through 1989 and 2002, but I love this team dearly. The guys, the storylines and yes, the torture. I don’t want to consider what my life would be like without the Giants.
And I love all you guys. This Alabama boy wishes very much that he could stand alongside you on Market Street on Wednesday morning. But I’ll have to watch from across the continent. Know that I’ll be with you in spirit.

I think most baseball fans (outside of NY) are sick of the Yankees
when i saw this World Series was going to be 2 teams that have tried so hard to get here (and for you guys to win it all) i was very happy, i thought this was great for baseball. as a Rangers fan (since they came to Texas in 72) i have lived and died each season with this team, and to finally make it to the big show was just fantastic.
also as a big time fan of Will Clark I was very happy for him to, that 89 series was tough
and though he did not get to the series with the Rangers the 5 years he played here, he was very much a fan favorite in Texas.
again congrats to you guys on this wonderful season.

The thing that makes him special is not his playing ability.
It was how he got the casual fan interested. His first game as a Ranger was the most watched Ranger game ever. You can’t put a price on that.
And now that we have owners with deep pockets (my brother’s father in law is on the board, and the names there total up to $8-10 billion).
He got people excited about baseball here. I can’t tell you how amazing that is here. I’ve been a fan for most of my 21 years on this earth, and people CARED. Lee was a big reason for that. Greenberg and Ryan realize that too.

I was sitting on the leftfield foul pole at Arlington, right in the first row. I was only halfway paying attention after being disgusted with Burrell's 89th strikeut of the WS and was fully expecting Lee to walk Rent in order to pitch to Rowand and then

Yeah. The guy has absolutely filthy stuff. The only thing I’m worried about is that he’s all too similar to Jonathan Sanchez in that he sometimes has no idea where the ball is going, and it could take a while for him to piece it all together.
Cody Ross - He's not Jose Guillen!
RIght. But we don’t really have any legitimate replacement starters in the org if someone gets injured (/knocks on wood) until Wheeler works his way a bit higher.

. . . and oh it feels sooo good. Best of all, it was truly a team effort. My daughter grew up a Giants fan, my wife, my sisters and brothers-in law, my father-in-law (in heaven) — we are all very very happy! Thank you Giants 2010.
Don't believe everything you think.

I’m sitting here watching highlights from throughout the year, and as cliche as it has become, it really was someone different every night. Every single one of these games is crucial, lose one and we probably don’t make the playoffs.

Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.

Just wanted to say…
I hated baseball until August when I saw Timmy start for the first time – to me he was captivating, despite the loss. I’ve watched every game since then, have learned so, so much about baseball, and have come to absolutely adore this team. I can’t believe we’ve won it all. I asked my dad that night if the Giants were good and he said they had a decent shot at the wild card. Here we are, world champions! AMAZING. Congratulations to everyone who has waited all their lives for this. I’ve had a great time reading everything here, it’s been wonderful to feel like part of a community through the torture and the rapture!
GIANTS! God, this makes me so happy. This team deserved it, these fans deserved it, everything has fallen into place perfectly.
Have an amazing night, San Francisco. I would give anything to go home to you tonight.
So now there are even more people out celebrating
3 hours and the crowds are growing. Craziness.
Back on the market.

A Report from the Streets of San Francisco
I made it to the Civic Center at the close of the first inning. Sanjay was supposed to come with me, but he disappeared from the office when I was leaving, so I flew solo. There was one big screen as promised, but it wasn’t high-res, and because it pointed down the tree-lined center, the trees made it hard to see unless you were in the middle of that, which was already packed. I spent a few innings there, but moved on during the top of the fifth. Both Lincecum and Lee are DEALING… giving up some hits, but no real rallies. 0-0.
Checked out a few bars… Harrington’s was packed (ran into my hoops buddy O outside), Schroeder’s was probably the best place to be with HD big screens all over the place and a reasonable amount of space. I headed back to my car by Red’s, thinking I might go home, but then I saw the Hi Dive come up in front of me, calling to me.
I went inside, and my work friends Jaimie and Shaz just happened to have prime real estate staked out. Joined them and saw the entire 7th inning rally. Huff made a great bunt… Lee had to make a great play to get him. Burrell continued his futility in the WS with a strikeout, but then Edgar Renteria hit Lee’s second pitch O-U-T! I didn’t think it was that deep off the bat, but when the LF headed back, we knew it had a chance… and it just made it out. The Hi Dive went BESERK, of course! During the 7th inning stretch, the bar wisely went with Ashkon’s version of “Don’t Stop Believing” instead another useless rendition of “God Bless America” on TV. Great choice!
I stayed there for the rest of the game and then some. Shaz was saying “game over” going into the bottom of the 7th, but that was really too early. The Rangers had three full ups. But after Lincecum got the second out on a grounder in the 8th inning (after giving up a solo shot to Cruz), I started to feel it. THIS COULD BE THE DAY!
Then of course Brian Wilson came out in the ninth, and just mowed down the heart of the Ranger order. Rejuvenation story Josh Hamilton? Sit the fuck down! Gone looking. Bad Vlad? Groundout. And finally, Nelson Cruz, who hit the homer earlier? Payback! STFD! Buster charges the mound, looking toward the dugout the whole time. We didn’t get to see Dubya’s crestfallen face, but let’s face it – we all know what that looks like.
YEEEEAAAHHHHH!!! The San Francisco Giants are champions at last! I looked to the sky and said to Dad, “We got there at last, Dad!” He’s out there somewhere, smiling and laughing with me, remembering my first game in 1971.
I went out onto King/Embarcadero about half an hour after game end, and it was a parking lot going West. Cars honking, people going nuts! I run down the MUNI divider, high fiving everyone in their honking cars. Then I head down to the ballpark, where the biggest gathering in town was going on. The cops closed King at Brannan, and so we took over the street.
I high-fived every plaque on the Giants Wall of Fame, and congratulated most of those great Giants by name. When I got to the Willie Mays statue, I ran into Sean’s friend Kai, who was there with his extra cool baby and his wife Yu Chin. How do I keep running into that guy all over town? I love it!
The intersection was packed, fireworks flew, and eventually we headed through it and walked up Third Street. People were all over that street, and when we got to Folsom, we parted ways while I ducked into the Chaat Cafe’ for a lamb wrap because I still hadn’t had dinner (10 PM).
After that, I walked the rest of the way up Third to Market, over to Second, and back down towards the ballpark. There were people cruising and honking all night, though not dense away from the ballpark. I have never high-fived this many strangers in my life! I have never seen so much Giants gear outside the stadium ever.
Second Street got busy down by the bars at Brannan… definitely one of the heartbeat areas of town. I continued on all the way to my car, and cars were still packed along King even at 11 PM.
This town is HAPPY! I can’t wait until the parade on Wednesday.
It is true that few of us expected such a pummeling in the World Series. We’re used to torture and suspense. Going to seven loaded with heartbreak wouldn’t have surprised any of us. But wrecks is right… who cares! The Giants proved EVERYONE wrong this year, and there is nothing better in sports than seeing your team as underdogs and beating everyone soundly all the way to the top!

How are you feeling about the Giants?
Hey, why doesn’t the needle go past 100%?
From an old guy who only lived in Northern California a few years and just never changed team loyalties, congratulations to the local Giants fans who have supported them through thick and thin. You fucking rock! Enjoy your party!

Hey guys
Reds fan here. I just wanted to stop in and say congratulations, you guys deserve it. The Giants were a fun bunch to watch and root for once the Reds were eliminated.
As fans we all dream of feeling the way you do right now and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just a little bit jealous. Dance in the streets, dance in your living room, live it up, enjoy the hell out of it!

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS – 2010 WORLD CHAMPIONS!
I have seen my favorite football team win Super Bowls and my favorite hockey team finally win the Stanley Cup. But, baseball means the most to me and my family and finally last night, the final championship title I longed for since the 60’s became a reality. It’s been a long time of late night radio, day old box scores and mail order merchandise. June swoons, Hall of Fame players, Candlestick Park and not enough pitching. 3 previous series trips with no title and an earthquake to boot. After all this. . . last night melted away all the frustrations of the past. I will never forget this season, especially since July. The last month of Giant baseball was the greatest ride of all. I would love to fly out for the parade, but instead, I will parade around here in NJ with my Giants hat and smile. GO, GIANTS! – 2010 WORLD CHAMPIONS!
The Giants won the World Series!
Like countless thousands of times before, my family and I were together to watch this game, and years of frustration were vanquished with one swing of the bat by the seemingly unlikely hero, Edgar Renteria. From Kevin Mitchell’s barehanded catch, to the ‘89 pennant and earthquake, to the ’02 single by Kenny Lofton to win the pennant, to JT Snow’s three-run shot against the Mets, to Barry Bonds’ #71, to Barry Bonds #756, I have witnessed many unforgettable moments with Giants, but not one was more exciting, more significant, or more cleansing than Renteria’s three-run, world series-winning shot to left center in Texas on November 1, 2010. Every single member of that team contributed. Brian Wilson’s six saves, Matt Cain’s 0.00 ERA, Lincecum’s duels, Uribe’s 8th inning homerun in Philly, Bumgarner’s gem in Game 4, Sandoval’s double against Philly, Cody Ross’ NLCS, Freddy Sanchez’ World Series Game 1, Huff’s Game 4 blast to right, Burrell’s three-run shot against the Braves, Posey’s four-hit game, Posey handling perhaps the greatest Giants pitching staff in history, Rowand’s vindicating hits, Torres’ double in Game 4, Schierholtz’ and Fontenot’s scattered hits on limited playing time, Affeldt coming in for Sanchez in Philly and stopping the bleeding, Javier Lopez shutting down the Phillies, the bullpen’s collective domination in every series, Sanchez’ calling out Hamels and the bench-clearing brawl, Ishikawa’s walk in the ninth in Atlanta, Renteria’s World Series clincher, the rally thong, the beard, the Machine. So many people became instant Giants legends. This team, this group of “misfits,” came together to form a unified whole, and for the first time in my life, I can say, “The Giants won the World Series!”
