The S.F. Giants, aka The Freaks, have won the World Series and will be bringing the trophy back to S.F. for the first time! The Giants have not won the World Series since 1954, before they moved West.The entire series was exciting and while I would have loved for it to return to S.F., I'm super excited Timmy shut them down for the win last night.
The road to the world series was, as "Kuip" appropriately title the team, torturous. I had all but given up at the end of August but they fought back hard and won the must-win games when it counted. It was definitely the pitching that came through at the end which is exactly what was predicted before the season started. The Giants' rotation reminded me of the A's back when they had the triple threat of Zito, Mulder & Hudson. I've been a Zito fan since his days is Oakland and I did miss him throughout the playoffs. It was a pitcher's duel this World Series with aces Lincecum and Cliff Lee. The Giants' bats remained quiet in the post-season, except Cody Ross. The Giants were not a power hitting team this season anyway and I'd rather see every
one coming through than rely on one big power hitter.This post-season has been super fun to watch, I can't wait for next season! No one could have predicted this finish for the team of outcasts and misfits. Where will we stand in the predictions for 2011? Now is not the time to focus on next year, the S.F. Giants have finally won the World Series, we'll be celebrating until April!
GO GIANTS!!!
