Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

Open What Tattoo Are You Getting Thread?

I was thinking of something simple, like the head of Buster Posey on the body of an eagle, and the head of Matt Cain on the body of a lion, and they’re flanking Tim Lincecum, who is riding a manticore and wielding a longsword made out of change-ups. The other cheek will have Cody Ross, Madison Bumgarner, and Edgar Renteria transforming out of robot form, just shooting everything in sight.

For a moment there, I thought this would be the first day in years that I didn't wish for more butt cheeks, but there you have it. There just isn't enough room.

Oh, and one more change...

After 5+ years as a member of the McCoven, I’m finally changing from my original sig. I figured a World Series championship coming to SF was a good enough reason — and after all the shit I gave Sabes, why not use a (great) quote from him.

I’ve never been a big fan of change, but today it feels pretty good.

It’ll hit me at random moments that the Giants are baseball’s 2010 World Champions, and even then I still can’t believe it. What was even more amazing this morning, is that on my way to school I was able to hear KNBR which NEVER happens. All I ever get is static out here but on my way to Long Beach, I was able to hear the 9th inning over again, and it made me cry. Because Kuiper’s call really was beautiful. And as I drove on and the static increased I just felt complete for a moment and I realized that everything that happened before it didn’t matter, 2002 is irrelevant now…because the Giants are World Champions….holy shit that really happened.

Dodger fans in rare form on Neyer chat
BEN (LA)
I say the Giants are a .500 team next year and miss the playoffs – no way they can again catch all the lucky breaks they got this year. Agree or disagree?

Rob Neyer (1:10 PM)
I think they’ll enter the season with an on-paper expectation of 87 wins. Which means they could almost as easily win 81 or 93. People underestimate the role of fortune in the standings.
Utek (LA, CA)
The Giants lineup last night included Pat Burrell, Cody Ross, Aaron Rowland, and Edgar Renteria, probably the worst hitting World Series champs of my lifetime Where do they stack up historically on the list of Hitless Wonders who won a championship?

Rob Neyer (1:27 PM)
I don’t know. But the Giants did finish (I think) ninth in the National League in scoring. My 1985 Royals finished 13th in the American League … and 13th again the next year.

I’ll tell you where they’ll stack – several spots behind the ’88 Dodgers.

With 232 strikeouts and 20 walks, Cliff Lee finishes with a full-season 11.6 K/BB – highest all time for a starting pitcher

And we beat him. Twice.

With emphasis. Without commentary.
There you have it, straight from the man behind McCovey Chronicles himself: all of these players are major leaguers! The recurring theme is “useful players, not worth the money.” The cold truth is that San Fran isn’t so far from every other struggling team: they can’t get on base, they can’t get off base, and they can’t get anywhere when they’re in between. For comparison purposes, their team average looks nearly identical to the San Diego Padres.

So often we’ve heard those things. Maybe not the second one very much, but definitely the first, and definitely the last. So many people seem to believe with all their hearts that the Seattle Mariners stand no chance of winning a World Series for as long as they keep their current CEO and COO. Those two people don’t understand how to build a championship team, they say, and until they disappear, the M’s are doomed to an existence of wasteful inadequacy.

The Giants won with Brian Sabean. Your argument is invalid.

He also gets lots of credit from Timmy and others for helping them and is a back-to-back Willie Mac award winner.

After listening to many comments from Timmy's dad

on the radio and reading about what Timmy has said about Bengie, it is clear to me that Timmy believes that Bengie was an integral part of his development as a young pitcher.

If Bengie did nothing other than that, he is very responsible for making the parade possible.

I think that standard is opening it up a bit too much. To hear Krukow talk, Matt Morris was instrumental in helping Cain develop as a young pitcher, but I don’t think anyone would say that he merits a place in the parade. There are a lot of people who did a lot of things to make this parade possible, but I’d say the moment belongs to the players and coaches who directly helped the team win in October, and Bengie wasn’t one of them.

I agree about former players

but Bengie played almost as much for the Giants this year as he did for the Rangers.

He was also responsible for at least a few of the victories that got them the division title.

Unless he were to announce his retirement (and even then it would still be a little awkward), I agree it would be difficult for him to join in when he played on the opposing World Series team.

I’d still like to see it, I understand why others don’t. The other reason we’ll never see it is because of the Sabean comments during the post-season.

“I can’t believe it, when you think about all the people … [breaks down, regains his composure]. You know what we did? We respected the game. The game of baseball is sacred, and if you honor it, a little window opens up. Tonight, the world opened up for us.”

Playoff baseball is fun. We should do this more often.

agreed, you simply do not let a Rookie catcher start the season,. There are some things in baseball that are sacred.

so is Bochy’s pretending that holding Buster down was “beneficial” for all involved.

Regardless, as I wrote previously, Bochy, and the whole staff went all out this year. excellent job all in all; My arm-chair coaching would’ve lost us 100+ games
