Torture!
 

Barry,

We're used to TORTURE!

Dan, even my wife thought the video was fantastic, although I had to explain who Kung Fu Panda, Bobby Thomson and Willie McCovey were :)

And here's the Rangers hip-hop theme song "Antlers Up."

Kid was nails tonite!

I normally hate Mondays with a passion, but I'm actually looking forward to tonite to see what will happen. :)

It's a treat to see a 21 year old rookie pitch with such poise in the most important game of his life. The Giants starting lineup is mediocre at best, but they have a pitching staff for the ages. And that is why they are going to win the Series.

Those 2 yahoos announcing game 5 just stated that there were no MLB teams west of the Mississippi when the Giants last won the Series. Who comes up with this crap?

Yes!

They obviously aren't from Missouri. Last time I checked the cities of Kansas City and St. Louis were both in existence in 1954. Someone didn't do their homework! :mad:

McCarver also said, and I'm paraphrasing, "The Rangers aren't hitting because the Giants are pitching."

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Maybe we could make it a package deal, McCarver and Selig both go in to retirement. :D

CONGRATS TO THE JINTS! They deserve it and their homegrown pitching staff was fantastic.

Congrats to the Giants
 

Congrats to the Giants. Their pitching was phenominal. Congrats to the Rangers for their best season ever, too.

Tim McCarver is THE reason the mute button was invented.

Congrats to the GIANTS!

I'll never forget the time during a World Series telecast when he took a few minutes to explain why an error made with none out is more likely to hurt the defensive team than an error made with one out.

Minutes.

Condolences to the Rangers and all of their fans. And the city of New York, too. Especially the Bronx.

Yes, the home run won the game ----- BUT ---- the bunt WON the game ( for those who know ).

People enjoy complaining about these announcers but Joe Garagialo, Tony Kubek, Keith Jackson and many others in the past were worse. Curt Gowdy was so biased for the Red Sox in 1975 it was a joke. Plus, it at least sounded as if he was drunk. And Cosell, who announced several, was almost certainly drunk.

I am not sure they were worse than McCarver but they were all most certainly better than Tony Kornheiser.

I was just sitting there & could not believe my ears. Honestly, how long has there been a team in STL?

BTW, my dad is on top of the world right now. A lifetime Giants fan, he has been acting like a little kid since the Series started.

The Giants WIN. The Giants are World Champs. SFG.
 

I am so excited for the Giants right now! I have been a fan since 1967 and through the years with Mays, McCovey, Hart, Marichal, and Perry to the present players I have now finally seen my team as the World Champs. Not in 1962, 1989 (I was at the earthquake game), and not in 2002. But, today in 2010, thank you Giants!!! Go SFG!!!
Proudly, Andy Sandler

You know that feeling you get when the team you love with all your heart, and follow religiously, puts together that perfect season and wins it all? If you're a San Francisco Giants fan, of course you don't. Until now. Man, does this feel good!

We've been waiting a long long time for this....well forever. Cheers!!!!

this one's for Willie---both of 'em

best,
barry

I dont care if Sports Guy said it first or not.....I can finally die in peace. :)

SF Giants World Champions, wasn't sure I'd ever get a chance to say that, man, doesn't get any better than this. Want to thanks these guys that have been gracing my desktop since the playoffs began. Sorry to Mel and Willie et all, will get them on the next one.

Congrats to all the long suffering Cubs, oops, Giants fans. I'm pretty sure only Biff Tannen could have seen the playoffs unfolding in this manner, but none-the-less it was an entertaining postseason. Enjoy it San Fran.

I've seen a few Giants jerseys come out of the woodwork here in Los Angeles... This is unacceptable.

The ghost of Bobby Richardson and Scott Speizio has been excorcised forever! :D

Edgar Renteria joins Gehrig, DiMaggio and Yogi as the only players to hit two game winning hits in the World Series...

Unfreakin believable...I never thought I'd see them win in my lifetime! :D

I never thought I would say San Francisco Giants and World Champions in the same sentence. Congratulations to a really exciting team, who knew how to pitch and knew how to win.

Well said.

A buddy of mine who attended game 1 at PacBell (most SF folks don't acknowledge the name change to AT&T, especially those with iphones) mentioned a sign he'd seen at the game. It read:

"Joe Buck yourself, Tim McCarver."

Horrific announcing aside, it's so nice to see an SF Giants team of regular guys -- no monstrous egos, no Barry Bonds, no Jeff Kent -- finally win one.

My Dad, who has lived here his entire life, was so nervous he couldn't even bring himself to watch the games.

This one's for Anthony's Dad
 

The San Francisco Giants celebrate their dramatic 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the 1962 World Series following Willie McCovey's last-gasp bases-clearing double, a game-winning hit memorialized in the lamentation of generations of Yankee fans: "Why couldn't Richardson have jumped just three feet higher?"

The Cards were certainly in existence in 1954, but the A's had just finished up their last year in Philly. They moved to KC in 1955.

Paul- congrats and I know the joy. After so many Super Bowl fiascos for the Vikes and so many entertaining and not so entertaining years for the Twins, I was on top of the world in 1987 when the Twins won the World Series. I remember where I was when I heard JFK was shot, when I saw the Twin Towers explode on 9-11 and watching when Gary Gaetti threw a ground ball he had scooped to Kent Hrbek for the final out in '87. Three indelible moments...
