he had his chance
Normally that’s a punchline, but he got a start, and I think that’s cool. He made last year a lot more fun, and I think even while he was sitting he managed to keep everyone loose, especially Timmy.

+1. I’ve been a fan for over half the length of the franchise—sixty-four years now—and I remember Thomson’s home run and the 1954 championship very well. But I have never been so happily involved, and I want to say intelligently involved, than I have been this season; and I’ve never had such interesting pleasure in the season as I have had this year. A lot of that is due to visiting this web site, which, since I live at a considerable distance from SF, I have been doing at least twice every day.

I mean, to have a place to go where there are other Giants fans, living and dying with our team, arguing and commiserating, cheering them on and consoling each other. Thanks for that place here; if you ever need to take some time off, say the word and I’ll be happy to baby-sit. If you don’t mind a small change of decor — just some new drapes, maybe a few candles, some candy dishes on occasional tables kind of things. Buy hey, not if you’d rahter! Just trying to help out my buds here! Thanks for the “playhouse”; it’s been home for months now. Srsly. Thank you.

"But at this time of year, two plus two doesn't always add up to eight. Sometimes, it equals four." - Geoff Baker, Mariners beat writer.
The 2010 Giants are the World Series champions. And I just realized something.
The pain I’ve been feeling since 2002 is gone. It’s magically…gone. And replaced by euphoria.
A Red Sox fan who carried the pain of 1986 told me a few years ago that the pain of losing a WS like that doesn’t actually go away until you win one. He was right.
Feels so good.
Yes, I am an Old Blue. Now get off my lawn.
This...
plus 1987, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2002, and 2003…
Also for all those crappy years (1990-1992, 1995-1996, and 2004-2009)
Carreon was on the 1993 team that won 103 games and missed the playoffs. Other than that, his “era” consisted of some bad Giants teams in the mid 1990s.
Yes, I am an Old Blue. Now get off my lawn.
i just remember watching him play first for the giants and thinking he wasn't as good as will clark
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Oh yeah. I was devastated as a teenager in 1987. And heartbroken in 1993. Just buzzkilled in 1997. Maddeningly disappointed in 2000 and frustrated in 2003. And, yeah, all the crappy years. But 2002 really made me wonder if I’d ever see this day.
Yes, I am an Old Blue. Now get off my lawn.
there was a stretch where i honestly thought the kings would win one for me before the giants
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
I think 1992 was the worst year for me
I started becoming a serious fan and everyone was saying how the Giants were moving to Tampa Bay…
and 2002
i was sitting in the bleachers at the alleged "final game in san francisco"
three cheers for the anti-trust exemption!!

So, I haven’t gotten a chance to post as often around here during the playoffs, but I wanted to share my experience of tonight. Instead of watching the game in SF (where I live) I decided to watch the game with my dad, a lifelong Giants fan since 1952. He raised me a Giants fan, and I can’t even count the number of games we’ve been to together over the years (I’m now 26, he’s 58.) Though we were unfortunately unable to go to any playoff games together (though I was lucky enough to go to two), I am so happy to say that I will always have this memory with my dad.
While I must admit I am somewhat bummed that I will not get to be in my hometown to celebrate tonight, this memory will make it all worthwhile.
Also, a special thanks must go out to the entire MCC crew for the amazing year this has been. It was my first season as a “participatory member” (though, really, I was hit or miss at best) and the day-in-and-day-out (i’m sure somebody will call me out on the grammatical correctness, or lack thereof, of that phrase) exuberance that this community had for the Giants raised the season up to another level than it would have been without it.
Thank you for making me eat crow, Brian Sabean. Go Giants, Go Giants, Go Giants.

This one's for my parents.
I was born in 1983. My first really vivid sports-related memory is sitting at home with my mom, waiting for Game 3 to start…and suddenly clinging to her for dear life as the world shook.
We watched 1993 and 1997 together. We watched 2002 apart, because I was away at college.
My parents were born in 1957, and had never seen a title. When I talked to my dad tonight, he said “I always knew they’d get one…I wasn’t sure I’d be around to see it.”
This is for them, and for everyone who’s waited.

Waking up tomorrow and remembering that THE GIANTS ARE THE MOTHERFUCKIN WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!
I don’t think I’ll love any team as much as this one. Bochy and Sabean – all is forgiven.
I love my dad for passing down his love of this team to me.
And I love this site; I love yous peoples; I love the people who are currently MIA.
It still hasn’t full sunk in… no one can take away this moment.
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
I am still in shock
I’m so glad we got it done tonight, as cool as it would have been to win in SF, I’m glad we didn’t have to endure torture. Having Timmy beat Lee, and Rent going out in style and having Wilson blow away the heart of the Rangers order to end it was just. Watching it with my parents and fiance was great. This has been such a magical season and I love you all. This is why people watch sports, and it just feels so awesome to apart of something so historic as this win tonight.
I would like to thank my Dad, who while we have a shitty relationship, and he grew up a Dodger fan in the 60s in LA, he adopted the Giants as his team when he moved to the Bay Area in the 70s and married my mom, and they would spontaniously take us to Giants games in the late 80s and very early 90s on weekends to see Giants-Dodgers and we would chant UUUUUUUURIBBEEEEEE. It was then as a little kid that I got to start my love of baseball. I want to thank my Grandpa, who before the Giants moved out west in ‘58, was a fan of the Cleveland Indians because they were the only team he was able to hear often on the radio out in Merced. He was at Game 7 of the 62 series, he was at the epic Marichal-Spahn game where Mays homered to end it 1-0 and many other storied games in this team’s history in SF. And it’s because of him that I’ve been such a huge sports fan my 25 years on this earth and most of all a GIANTS fan.
I also want to thank Will Clark, Robby Thompson, Mike Krukow, Kevin Mitchell, Dave Dravecky, Matt Williams, and other stars of the 80s for resurrecting this team after an awful 1985 season. I want to thank Bob Lurie for saving this team from moving to Toronto in the mid 70s. I want to thank Al Rosen for doing such a great job as GM in the mid to late 80s. I want to thank Peter Magowan and Sue Burns and the rest of the investors for saving this team from moving to Tampa after the ‘92 season and for putting up their own money to secure and build an awesome stadium in China Basin. And also for signing the best player since Willie Mays to put up some of the most spectacular individual seasons anyone will ever have in the history of the sport in Barry Bonds. I want to thank Brian Sabean and his entire staff, Bruce Bochy and Mr. Bow Tie, William Neukom for putting together this team of standout ballplayers, WORLD FUCKING CHAMPIONS! I am so emotional right now and drunk and I’m just so incredibly happy. Sorry for this rambling mess of a post, but I am just in shock and awe of what was a torturous yet glorious season which has just been greater then my wildest dreams. I <3 THIS TEAM!

June 14, 1987
For some reason, I’ve always remembered that date. Probably because it was WAY overdue — I’d been a Giants fan for 5 years at that point, but I’d never visited the Stick for a Giants game until that day. I sat in the old General Admission section beyond the left field fence.
Dave Dravecky was the Padres starting pitcher and stifled the G’s all day. Will Clark didn’t start, which was disappointing to me (tough lefty starter, I shoulda anticipated it!) but he got a pinch hit single later in the game. If memory serves, the final score was Padres 4, Giants 1. I think Mark Davis was the starter for the Giants that day. Later that season, those guys would be traded for one another (among others) in blockbuster that helped bring the 1987 NL West title.
Yes, I am an Old Blue. Now get off my lawn.
I was there in San Diego when the Giants clinched the NL West in 1987 - their first since 1971. I was 25 and going to Arizona State. I had to drive all night to get back in time for classes and an exam the next morning. It was all worth it!!
This however, is 100 times greater and I was in Arlington for Games 3, 4 & 5. How sweet it is!!!

If I heard correctly, the fans there were chanting “Let’s Go Rangers!” after the game was over. Atlanta and Philly emptied out like a fire alarm went off, but they stayed and chanted for quite a while.

Best part about this team is that every player was important
because the margin for victory was so narrow:
Rowand winning that one game when he hustled on the top of the ninth inning
Wellemeyer for winning that one game
Bowker and Martinez for being traded for Lopez
Affeldt for game 6 of the NLCS
Zito for being okay
Even Guillen for the 6 RBI day
Everyone
162 games is a whole lot
Somehow I just sensed, very early on (like on that 4th of July weekend in Colorado) that every play, every game, might REALLY matter.
Little did I know they would matter this much, that the stars would somehow align in their own fucked-up way and lead to this.
Every bit of torture was exactly what was needed for this to happen. One little change and who knows how it might have turned out differently.
Man, whoever posted that Nen story, that did me in. I cried for like 5 minutes just now, remembering how I cried for hours after that one.

"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
I'm totally ready to admit we have close to no idea what we're talking about
Sabean and Bochy just bought themselves at least a year or two of good will and benefit of the doubt. Just about everything they’ve done this year has somehow eventually worked out really well, especially the last few weeks. I’m not sure it’s all on purpose, but even if it’s a ridiculous string of luck I’m fine going with that.
Glaring exception: Whiteside pinch running.

What is it about this team that makes people so excited! I know, pick me! It’s the way they all pull for each other in a way we’ve never seen. Its the way they just want it more than the other guy. Its the way they torture us until the very last minute before pulling it out. Its because no one even knew who they were going into the postseason. Its the way they touch me. I love you SF Giants. Always have. Always will.

I understand why you took a chance on Renteria. He just turned 34, but he used to be an elite player. He had a strong second-half last year. There weren’t a lot of ways to upgrade the position without giving up prospects or draft picks. The position was an absolute organizational ghost town. But that’s in the past. Right now, Renteria does not help the Giants win. Next year, Renteria probably isn’t going to help the Giants win. The short-term options are limited, but there are things you can do to minimize the disadvantage.
I did love, though, that he wanted to tear Russell Martin’s larynx out with his teeth. He’ll always have a spot in my heart for that one.
Sincerely,

Of course they forget the few at-bats he had in this series where he worked the count to draw a walk and sustain rallys. Or what he did for us all year after we picked him up off the scrap heap.

One of the things I love about the Giants organization is that they are cognizant of franchise history, and they do a wonderful job of acknowledging it. Now we have the ultimately piece of history.
Now this team will get to come back to San Francisco in 15 years, in 20 years, in 25 years. These guys we’ve grown to love will forever be fixtures at the park like Say Hey and Stretch, and that thought makes me so happy.

Yes, but does he know anything about the Giants or the Rangers? He said himself that he didn’t watch nearly enough of either team this year. Stat lines only tell you so much.

I totally called it
When Burrell had a 3-2 count with runners on second and third, I told my dad, “He’ll strike out.” Voilà, he did. Then I said that Renteria would hit a home run. Of course he did.
I had already called a home run unsuccessfully before, but that was the Posey at-bat where he nearly hit it out, so it wasn’t too shabby.

But when he took that hat off? When he went absolutely nuts? That’s when I knew this was special, man.

NOW I KNOW YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY STARFISH IN THE SEA
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
I have a weird, convoluted theory about the meaning of that song
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
It appears on the surface to be a simple “I’m over you, girl” song, but I find the imagery of the “red rubber ball” sun to be kind of strange and it reminds me of the song “The Sun is Burning” on Wednesday Morning, 3 AM (which is, of course, about a sudden nuclear attack.)
So I think that the irony of the song is that the narrator is happy and ready to move on with his life… he looks forward to his life without the spectre of this person in his life quite readily and seems to cite the “red rubber ball” sun as a symbol of his newfound happiness.
But what he doesn’t realize is that the “red rubber ball” is actually a nuclear attack and he is about to die horribly.
Great song though
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Wow.
That makes it so much better. I’m definitely telling my dad that. That song was the genesis of the mix idea; it’s one of his favorites, but he hasn’t had a copy since his record player died.

No matter the circumstances, It just wouldn’t feel right rooting for you guys. I’ve been told that I should “Rep The Bay” so many times over the past month or so and well, it’s become quite annoying.
We’re not all sour grapes, man. Most of us just don’t understand why we should root for the other local team if ours doesn’t make it. Sports don’t typically work that way, haha.

but most of them are rooting for the rangers because they dont like the giants, but guess what. if the Rangers will the WS. the A’s are not gonna be the AL west champs with bob geren at the helm
The Rangers will be spending money no matter what the outcome of this year's Series.
And I’m sure the A’s will continue to bargain hunt (even though they actually tried to spend big time last year).
And to be honest, I wasn’t necessarily rooting for the Rangers: I was rooting for Not The Giants. It just so happened that in order for Not The Giants to win, the Rangers had to. Pretty sure that goes for a lot of A’s fans in general this year.
And trust me: we know how much Geren sucks. We’re the ones stuck watching him at least 162 times a year.

And this kind of “cheer” from A’s interweb fans has really turned me off a team I used to like. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I have seen the AN posts about A’s fans getting crap for wearing A’s gear the last few days, and that’s not cool. I don’t know why A’s fans should “give me trouble” either, it’s usually just overhearing them complain about the Giants. You have a good team, just root for them and talk about them and to hell with the media that ignore them and the people that don’t go see them.

A tribute to my son, Kitspool Jr., THE OFFICIAL RALLY BABY OF MCCOVEY CHRONICLES
He was born June 29, and at the time the Giants were 40-35, floundering, and in the middle of being swept at home by the Dodgers. In our hospital room that first night, we watched the Giants lose 4-2—Cain got Cain’d, and John Ely beat us. In fact, the Giants didn’t win a game until he was four days old.
Once they won on that first Saturday in July, the Giants finished the regular season on a 52-31 run, followed by an 11-4 run in the playoffs.
Rally Baby record: 63 wins, 35 losses. One World Championship.

Hey all,
I had to rush off to play volleyball with some friends after the win so I didn’t really get to celebrate it. Just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone here at MCC. You all keep it fun, and you’re the most knowledgeable group of fans I know. K&K got me back in to the Giants, but I probably stayed because of the community here. KEEP ROCKING!

I’ve decided that I’m going to watch every late night talk show tomorrow. That’s right, all of them. Because they will be talking about the Giants winning the World Series at some point, which will make it totally worth it.

I asked what we all did without MCC in 2002. It’s so special to have you all to endure the insanity, pain, ridiculousness, and eventually, the elation, triumph, and redemption. I have no idea how I survived 2002 and 2003 without you guys but tonight I am honored and blessed to share this moment with all of you.
I still can’t believe it happened. I watched the last four innings. I went grocery shopping after the game. I made dinner for me and BFVCE. I just posted my game recap on SF Dugout. And I still can’t believe it happened.

Istarted to grin uncontrollably and weep about 2 1/2 hours after the game ended; it's kept up on and off
for a couple of hours and now just seeing the Texas jacket hanging next to the Giants jacket will set it off again. Best be bedtime, I think.
Congratulations to all of you who helped with psychic energies, good wishes, loud screams at the park (or TV), well-meant notes of advice, and various good thoughts send to the ballparks through the ether. We did it, we helped them, we kept them going and going strong. They did it because it was destiny and because it was for all the old-time players who never got the chance, and the cup of coffee guys who never expected a chance, and for all the fans who only prayed for one of them to have a chance and not blow it. They did it, finally. And they did it for all of us, And we all thank them, from our hearts, with love.

Cool facts about 2011
- Bochy, as the NL manager for the 2011 All-Star Game will select more Giants to fill the NL roster.
- It should be easier for the Giants to sign free agents this offseason, maybe even at a discount.
- ESPN will be forced to cover the Giants for all of 2011. They’ll hate it.

Chaos in the Mission
man, I just got back home from the madness out in the mission.
kids were throwing glass bottles at cops, they broke the windows of the Wells Fargo. just madness
but 99 percent of the people and the crowds out here in Frisco was just LOVE.
thugged out gangstas high fiving kids in clown suits man. big bear gays chanting “the queers beat the steers”
whole families driving up valencia, kids and babies hanging out the windows.
firemen leaning out their trucks sharing the love.
what an amazing scene.
what an amazing team.
