The Best Thing About the 2010 World Series

PrintWell, not really, of course. But pretty awesome. Good for a laugh.
It's game 4 in Arlington, and things are looking good for the blue-and-red-and-horn clad clan. It's the bottom of the 9th, and the Giants are up 4-0. There's already one out. Madison Bumgarner dominated the Rangers for eight innings, allowing just three hits and no runs, and Brian Wilson appears to be well on his way to shutting down the heart of the Rangers' lineup to close it out. A hush has fallen on the ballpark.
A hush punctuated by one person, that is. One fan can't hold her feelings back any longer. She lets loose and loses her shit - and, amazingly, it's all caught on camera and broadcasted live to the world.
My alleged RAGE has been a McCoven meme for years, but I can never hold a candle to this amazing woman. I give to you RAGE: A Play in Six Acts
Amazing.

It says “I choo-choo-choooose you, and it’s got a picture of a choo-choo train!”
My wife and I quote that line all the time. Strangely, she’s less attracted to “so the doctor said I wouldn’t have so many nosebleeds if he took my finger out of there” which has always killed me.

“choo choo choose you” and “I bent my Wookie” get a lot of mileage around here.

This is the exact moment that she realized that it wasn’t just a fluky slump the Rangers offense was in. It was dominant Giants pitching. At this moment she realized that they weren’t going to score enough runs. The offense was not going to go on a tear. It was impossible. All hope is lost.

I’m going to go a slightly different direction and say that the best thing about the 2010 World Series was that WE WON!!!!

I like it when I momentarily forget
Like I’m reading an article on selected World Series winners or something. I’m used to that brief mental review… where I wonder if the SF Giants will be on it, and instead of realizing they can’t be, I realize they can!

The girl with the white shirt and black fleece is saying it too… and she looks young enough that she’d get grief for saying it.

What she was REALLY thinking, in sequence:
Pic 1: The inning’s almost done, just hold it in.
Pic 2: Ehh, maybe not. Man on first. Must resist.
Pic 3: Ugh, 2 runners on! Somebody call the setup man, I need a HOLD here!
Pic 4: Yo Bengie, now’s really not the time to chat about dinner with Cliff! Oh and I heard opening your mouth wide ensures other holes stay shut…
Pic 5: Nope, looks like all holes are ready to fire at any moment. Might as well keep my mouth open to signal that I’m in deep shit!
Pic 6: BLAST! The Renteria is Released.
What he was REALLY thinking, also in sequence:
Pic 1: C’mon Cliff!
Pic 2: Let’s go Cliff!
Pic 3: Goooo Cliff!
Pic 4: Finish him Cliff!
Pic 5: Cliff!
Pic 6: What’s that smell?
"I don't get out of bed, for a million bucks!"
- Edgar Renteria or a hooker bribing a family man?
nah, it was Game 4 and the Rangers were batting
She was reacting to a fly ball, I think from Michael Young.

Rangers fans
I didn’t take any pleasure in their pain because I know exactly how they felt. On the other hand, Phillies and Braves fans deserved every bit of torture they got.
This
That was just how I felt. Effing tomahawk chop and the fake “Indian” chant always ticks me off. Signs in Philly mocking Timmy, they didn’t understand about how tough Tim is. Wait until they see Fu Manchu Lincecum this year.
The Rangers fans were nice to our many Giants fans there.

I fucking hate the tomahawk chop. I don’t know how Braves fans can stand it after one time.

It’s just so tasteless, and man, it’s it ever unconscious racism in action, and foam rubber too. Detestable to Giants fans.

hey, remember Game 3 when they thought Hinske had won it for them?

Oh yes I was loving watching in the NLCS when they were showing the Phillies fans in Game 6 during the ninth inning chewing on their towels. I loved watching them squirm it made me laugh so hard.

Screw you Flannery.
I hate to traffic in stereotypes and generalizations and whatnot, but I pretty much always take pleasure in the pain of Texans.

I don't believe in curses or jinxes but I do in karma
I don’t take pleasure in other people’s misery because it will come back to bite me in the ass. Only exceptions are pedophiles and other criminals like that (or people like that person who was killed a cockfight when a rooster killed him).

I don’t mind the Rangers, too bad you were in our way. Not a good place to be. Fact.
