The Giants are not going to contend in ‘09 (and may only do so in a marginal fashion in ’10), so the need for a mid-30’s SS at this point is a bit of a headscratcher.

I seriously hate
when a ballpark does like all the old, cliche “rally” songs.
makes the whole franchise seem lame.
Luckily, the Giants DJ crew is one of the best in the business with mixing the classics with the new stuff.
I got tired of the song they played during the 7th inning stretch that had “magic” in the song.

Just wait for them to overpraise us next year and talk glowingly about our team like they actually know anything about them.
McCarver “Buster Posey has really learned how to hit the ball the other way in this postseason”
Actually no Tim, He’s done that since he was drafted and did it in college you dumbfuck. So glad we ran him out of town when he was a Giants color commentator earlier in the decade. Note to announcers, if you stink you can’t hang in the Bay Area. Just ask Joe Angel.
Edgar Renteria just blew my mind.
And it had already been blown by Tim Lincecum, like Madison Bumgarner before him, and earlier Matt Cain, and then an only slightly lessr version of Tim Lincecum before that.
Finally, Brian Wilson delivered a ninja like blow to my pleasure sensors….

As a player, it’ll never be out of our system, but this is the next best thing.” Snow also had a parting shot: “With all due respect to the guys in ‘02, (Jason) Schmidt and (Kirk) Rueter and them, if we had this f—-ing staff, we’d have beaten the Angels four straight.”

I just got back from downtown Sac . . .
where I watched the finale with many fine folk who jumped with joy at the result. I just sat. I couldn’t jump or shout. I was struck dumb. I wondered at this team of men who figured out how to win an important game of baseball, something previous teams hadn’t. The several series revealed all their strengths, just as they revealed the opponents weaknesses.
I admit to doubting Mr. Lincecum’s durability. I was wrong about this and other things. But after the Braves series I was right that this team had a great chance.

They scored 9 runs off SF starters
5 came after a two out walk to Bengie.

if seeing tape of Gerald and his cannonarm made them think twice about the Harry Highschool smallball routine. Didn’t Andrus get on to open the series? And there he stood.

Matt Cain
The man that deserves this the most, in my humble opinion is Matt Cain. Truly the only guy on the team that can be regarded as underrated. I remember watching his first start. I remember the “He’s never going to be better than a 3rd starter.” I remember all the hard luck loses, the brilliant 1 hitters, the brilliant 1 run games he pitched and lost. I remember him being hit on the arm by a come backer last season and trying to stay in the game, despite Rags and Bochy. If there is anyone that can identify with torture, pain and hard luck its Matt Cain.
So out of anyone on this team – I am happiest for you, Matthew T. Cain. May you remain a Giant for the rest of your career.

He barely got talked about in this post-season. But he was just amazing. He completely pitched like he has in his career. Quiet, not the star, and gets no attention because of Lincecum. But every game it was the same. Just pure awesomeness. Might be my favorite Giant ever already.

Well said
Wrecked. Cain is my favorite Giant for many reasons, most of which you summed up here. Guy is just a great baseball player and he goes about his job quietly in an old school way. He never complained or got visibly upset when things when bad or torturous for him over the past few years. Most of us would have taken out a water cooler or teammate by now for costing us a game or 10 along the way. He continues to be calm and collected and just continues to develop into a fantastic pitcher, and he’s still younger then Lincecum and Sanchez yet he’s been here the longest. I love Cain.

Hey MCC
This is Frisco Joe. I don’t post much, but you might recognize my name or my avatar. The last time the Giants won a world series my dad was 9 years old in New York. He moved out to SF in the 70’s. He bought a house in SF on Gilman Ave, right down the street from Candlestick in the 80’s. I grew up there and used to fall asleep to the roar of the crowd during night games that were past my bed time and the boom of fireworks on the 4th of July.
I now live in LA due to work. I was lucky to be at both two of the biggest wins of the year (you know which games I’m talking about) . Anyone else that lives down here knows what kind of shit we put up with from the Dodgers fans.
The SF Saloon was rocking in LA tonight, thanks to everyone that came out… You folks in SF would be proud. We finally did it… WORLD CHAMPS BABY!!!!!

Here
This is the cheaper option
This has a more detailed product desc:
The ultimate baseball collectible, this 8-disc set features all of the complete World Series Games, and a special bonus disc.
In addition to the full games presented on each World Series disc, pre-game and postgame interviews, and MLB Network coverage, and 4 audio channels (Fox Sports, Fox en Espanol, Flagship Radio Station Play-by-Play for BOTH teams) all enhance the viewer experience.
A special bonus disc features 60 minutes of regular and postseason highlights, player interviews, and celebratory footage.
I said it once, I'll say it again:
The San Francisco Giants have given me the greatest birthday present of my life. 22 years old, and every bit the same Giants fan from age 6. I watched Luis Gonzalez’s game 7 winner in 2001, the collapse of 2002, the stunner in 2003, the drought enders of 2004 and 2005, the surprise of 2006, the bore of 2007, the absurdity of 2008, the “well we all saw that coming” of 2009, and now, on November 2nd, 2010, the San Francisco Giants have given me a gift that I will cherish forever.
I love the city of San Francisco.
I love its Giants.
I love baseball.
I love life.
We all deserved this, and I will never forget it.

Team of Cesar Izturi
Real: the Rangers mustered 29 hits, the Giants 29 runs.
Real: the Rangers batted .190, with an OPS, .547, that was worse than that of any major league player with substantial at-bats this season, save Orioles shortstop Cesar Izturis.
Real: Josh Hamilton and Vladimir Guerrero, the Rangers’ Nos. 3 and 4 hitters, had three hits in the series, in 34 at-bats (a combined batting average of .088, topped by even Izturis).
Real: according to second baseman Ian Kinsler (World Series batting average: .188): “They shut us down. There’s really nothing else to say.”

In awe of his adopted dad: equipment manager Mike Murphy, who has been with the club since their move to San Francisco in 1958!

nice interview with Jaymee Sire post-game
May 29, 2010: Steven Revetria takes over as Giants General Manager. The rest is history.

Yes. It is. Enjoy it.

I can't believe
that this team was one game over .500 at the beginning of July and in fourth place. Tonight just makes that seem like a century ago.
My girlfriend actually commented on noticing how my mood shifts depending on whether it’s baseball season and how the Giants are doing. Apparently I’ve been a bit nervous and snappy lately. I’m sure as hell not now!

this eventually has to get old enough to change your name, doesn’t it?

It's just an unfortunate accident...
That my family has been naming sons Russell Martin for the last 8 or 9 generations or so. Why should I change my name? He’s the no talent ass clown. (ok, I was reminded of that quote above…but c’mon it works)

you, sir, owe her a muffin basket and roses, aaaand probably a romantic night out ;)
AT&T Park and Disneyland-so much magic inside!

I remember being on my anniversary with my wife in vegas (bellagio) watching Timmy get beat
by the Diamondback on the night he was trying out the “stirrups” back in august. I had gotten to the point where Dodgers were starting to claw back into contention. At that moment I thought….shit i hope we can get the wild card.
It’s irresponsible of me to do this, and makes a mockey of the democratic process, but: I’m thinking of doing a write-in vote for governor tomorrow. Probably Buster Posey.

i was thinking Madison Bumgarner
definitley going to do it for governor though. Girl on the phone said my ballot won’t be counted anyway because it won’t get postmarked in time
you can still just drop it off at the closest polling station tomorrow.

Yeah, kind of my fault.
Got caught up in LOL World Series Champions/ giants postseason and forgot to research anything voting related.
I think this applies to Tim

others have said
just now seeing the espn and national coverage, so others have ever voiced these things.
but still i just gotta say
Giants: hey national media
“GOTCHA, Bitch.”
I noticed Tim’s “damn, you fuckers are still loate to give us notice” reaction to begin his interview…and his ‘lots of smoke in the air’
Fucking awesome. all of this .
who's Burrell copping a feel of?
Proud adopted parent of the ball dudes, who have grounded into 109 fewer double plays than the Giants.
LOL!
Yeah, who is that? Dude’s got a beard…

Kind of wanted to hear postgame
from J. Sanchez, Zito, Whiteside, Mota, Ford, Burriss, Ryan R, Fontenot.
Oh well.
It would be pretty cool
if there was a truck in Wednesday’s parade that carried the SF catchers, and Posey and Whiteside were standing there, waving to everyone, when all of the sudden Jim Ross goes “OH MY GOD, THAT’S BENGIE MOLINA’S MUSIC!” and Big Money pops out of the truck, rips off his Rangers jersey and reveals a Giants jersey underneath.

SPECIAL AGENT BENGIE MOLINA
“Yeah man, they kill sliders but they can’t hit a fastball.”
Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
He deserves to be part of the celebration
After all it was his departure that helped pave the way to the promised land.
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.
Just got back from the city, it was so crazy.
I lost count of how many high fives/hugs I gave and received tonight. It was incredible. Did anybody else go?
Hella.
Well I'll be.
Congratulations, Giants fans. Enjoy the parade.
May I be the first to say here’s to another 56 years before the next one? ;-)

Yes. Yes, we are.
And if we don’t get this franchise away from the McCourts, I’ll be taking Viagra before we celebrate another one.
But that’s why I don’t want you guys to get too used to this. I don’t want to be bitter in my dotage.
by DodgerFanInPackerLand on Nov 2, 2010 1:30 AM PDT up reply actions
Yes. Yes, you do.
And I do not seek to prevent you from continuing to have THAT parade.

Dear McCoven,
I have posted here on occasion, but I’m mainly a lurker. I just wanted to say I absolutely love the site and I always make sure that the first thing I do after every game is read Grant’s thoughts. I’ve been reading for over 3 years now and I just want to say that the McCoven prove that the Giants have the best fans in the world. It’s about 6 hours after the Giants clinched, and the posts are still rolling in, almost 4,000 I believe. This has been an amazing run for the Giants, and I will never forget it, and I just wanted to say thank you McCovey Chronicles for making the unbearable moments these past few years a little more bearable and summing up the unbelievable moments beautifully. Now excuse me, I have to listen to Queen’s “We Are the Champions” 30 more times. Go Giants!
Matt Cain didn’t give up an earned run the entire postseason.
Man child.

Barry Lamar Bonds
I love this man. Just saw the replay of his phone call to the CSN studio crew. I teared up hearing him talk about how proud of the franchise he was. The man did so much for our franchise and it is so humbling to watch him glow as he speaks about this team. The man wants a world series ring; I say we give him one for each finger.

Did I finally get to the end of the thread?
It’s only 11:00 PM in Japan and I’m still getting drunker.
Hey guys, I heard a rumor that the Giants won the World Series.
I celebrated in a bathroom stall at my place of work. Dented a stall door with my foot on the last out, but no one caught me.
Is this where people put witty comments and quotes?
