O/T Tigers became the Yankees in the WS

[hammer]

Something does not smell right in this World Series who would have thought Giants in 4 straight sweep before it began and what was the odds of this happening in the Vegas casinos and who made big wager's on this. New something was up in first game when Verlander had big smile on his face when 4 runs behind and pitching coach comes out to talk to him. Just does not work for me.

Sorry but that's total BS. Verlander/Prince/Cabrera would be beyond moronic to risk their respective fortunes and careers to throw a WS.

As a Giants fan, I'm trying hard not to allow the slights and doubters (mostly in national media) to annoy me.. But it gets annoying when everyone outside the area seems to stretch for explanation and qualify anything good this team does.. WS win(s) included. Between the "all they did was get hot at the right time", "Tigers had a long layoff", "giants got all lucky breaks/bounces", "(instert team name) just stopped hitting"... And now the Tigers threw the WS??? Some or many of the qualifying events are valid but no one wins a series without a nice break or two. Breaks do not offset the fact that the Giants are a damn good team. They've done it the right way... they're full of homegrown talent (6 draftees in last nights lineup alone, and 4 of our 5 starting pitchers), and they played their asses off. That and granted a few breaks are why they came back 0-2, 1-3 in succession and then swept this series.

Congrats SF Giants, you earned this!! Maybe after 1 or 2 more people will stop questioning so much.

Congrats to the SF Giants and their fans, they played well and deserved to win. I can only hope the Tigers will get another chance with the current cast and show up come WS. 1984 is such a distant memory now.

Thank you!! Tigers have some good years ahead.. That core is still in it's prime.

After hoping and suffering for so long and finally in 2010... and now I can't believe the Giants won again so soon... and amazingly the starting eight only had one starter back in Buster Posey... the core of the pitching staff was back though and they came up big again at just the right time with timely hitting and defense... kudos to the Tigers though for a great season...they have a great classy manager and killer players...

I waited nearly fifty years to finally see the Giants win a World Series. Who would have guessed I would get another one two years later? They played with a lot of heart and they found a way to win every game they needed. Everything they did seemed to work. What a pleasure it has been to watch these guys.

SF outplayed Det in every facet of the game. Their fundamentals were refreshing complared to lack of them from my team, the Tigers. Their pitching came thru, their hitters were not intimidated the slighest and their manager pushed the right buttons throughout the WS. My team's all or nothing hitting, lack of patience, lack of adjustments was very bothersome, but SF outplayed us in every game = sweep. Enjoy it...1984 seems like a different life time.
