Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
The Toronto-based media always plays up the American League and treats the NL as an inferior circuit. It makes the Jays appear better. Down east, we are lucky to get any NL highlights during the year.
That's 5 Series wins in 7 years for the NL. Not even close.

Well, Cain is one of the best starters in MLB. The rest of their rotation is pretty good too. Romo is one of the better closers out there as well.
Posey is MVP-calibre. The rest of the lineup I agree is not filled with superstars, but just a lot of good players. The big key is that they just don't have any real weaknesses. A lot of good players, with a handful of great players, but few bad ones.

Or maybe they are more "talented" than you think. They have arguably the best catcher in baseball, great defence up the middle, Panda is a great player, awesome starting and relief pitching. That is the formula for winning.
As Jim Rom said, could any other team that won two of three series get that little credit.
This is a team that won this year despite the Freak having an atrocious year and Wilson being out all year.

With all due respect, their formula appears to be "getting hot at the right time." If they were really so great, their regular season record the last three years would be much better than what it has been.

Still hurting over them handing your Phillies' their ass in 2010 aren't you.
Anyway, bitch all you want, not much more to say than "SCOREBOARD".

Dude, I like the Giants. They are a hard-nosed, gritty team, and as a fan, you should enjoy their success. But don't try and argue to me that they are a great team when we know they're not.

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
They won, nothing else matters.
NY Giants weren't all that great in 2007 and 2011 but they won the SB and can tell the rest of the world to suck them.
You yourself is one that always states, all that matters is winning. They have won 92, 86 (without Posey) and 94 in the last three years, that is pretty decen. Never trailed in a series in 2010 and never lost an elimination game this year. That is great in my book.
The rest is just white noise.

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
The Giants are starting this century as they started the last-among the dominant teams in baseball and among the most successful of the first 50 years-most of it in the first 30.It kind of went south after McGraw except for the brief time in the early fifties under Durocher and they were definitely mediocre at best after the move to the Bay. Right now they are the closest thing to a dynasty in pro sports today-2 in 3 years-and could well do it again soon.

When I heard him interviewed during the WS, I thought he sounded like he was "born in East LA"
He is a different cat, that is for sure.
Awesome.
