SF Giants- 3 World Championships in last 5 years,,very tough to do in todays Baseball business

View Article



Re: Impressive

I was pulling for the Royals, but the Giants got the job done. They got "lucky" for the 3rd time in 5 years, with their combination "leadership", "gritiness" and "fundamentals".

Good coaching, fans, and players who play to the moment. Not the greatest team on paper, but they would probably beat a lot of the greats. This may be the last time for them. Posey is hurt and not the...

Yeah 97 to about 07 was a blur to me. Although I am convinced a few guys in the 80s were abusing. Canseco, McGwire, and probably Puckett for a few years. Its nice to have the game back from Bonds,...

Similar to Ospreys I got away from the game of late.  While I would buy each new Action season, I would seldom play games with these seasons, but would primarily add players here and there to...

Re: Impressive

Perez was certainly chomping at the bit in that final at bat. I think the lack of experience may have got him there. Baumgartner was rattled a bit after Gordon's hit. He was throwing everything up and...

Re: Impressive

Have to give the Giants their props, though I was pulling for the Royals.  I wish they had sent Gordon, it would have been really exciting at the very least...

If Gordon didn't have that Confucius beard weighing him down, I say he scores.

Re: Impressive

Giants have become the Spurs of MLB.   Enjoyable series.  I really enjoy this brand of baseball much better than what we had in the mid 90's to 2008 or so...

Re: Impressive

Re: Impressive

So depending on how YOU define the term, are the Giants a dynasty?

Re: Impressive

I'll call them a dynasty. One of their two bad years thier star player was out for the season.

Re: Impressive

The word dynasty itself relates to sequences of rule. 3 of 5 is not sequential in and of itself. If a "king" ruled a country for 5 years then was kicked out for 5 years, then ruled then kicked, then...

Re: Impressive

The true definition of a dynasty would be sustained dominance over an elongated period of time where the personnel changed, but the success kept on coming.That would make the 1923-64 Yankees a...

Re: Impressive

I think a dynasty has to be sustained over a longer period of time than five years. But the Giants have been the best team since 2010, for whatever that is worth.I agree as far as the game being back...

Re: Impressive

I've been a Giants fan ever since they arrived in SF in 1958 and replaced my home town Seals (PCL). I love what they have done over the past 5 years BUT have to state they are not quite a dynasty yet....
