Congratulations San Francisco Giants you're the 2010 World Series Champions and not only is San Fran elated, baseball is elated as well...yes even us Yankee fans proudly admitted that we were rooting for you. Our tweets were dedicated to you and your team. Our approval of you guys even went far beyond the fact that we wanted the Texas Rangers to lose, we grew to appreciate and respect the hustle and grind, grustle, you guys put into your crafts.
Congratulations to Edgar Renteria for being named the 2010 World Series MVP.
The final score was 3-1 in San Fran's favor.
It's only fitting to end this baseball season with some beautiful words of inspiration from a group called Journey. This should provide some hope for all the teams in 2011:
Listen, I am happy for the Giants, I truly am. I am glad either the Giants or Rangers won, and I would prefer the team that doesn't have two cocaine users to win, so that worked out. However, I cannot be just more than a little depressed about this.
A. The ratings were better for MNF the past two weeks than for the playoffs. When it is Yankees-Phillies the ratings are equal, and when it isn't, they are way lower. Baseball is clearly dying in America.
B. We are all going to forget about baseball tomorrow. Some people already have. Some saw the headline last night, "Giants win", and thought, "Oh yeah, I did see who NYG played yesterday, how was the game?"
C. The playoffs are just too small. 4 teams out of 2.5 dozen? Baseball is insane. They have the longer regular season and shortest playoffs. The regular season is clearly meaningless (See STL and SF as world series champs the last few years), and all you have to do is get hot. No wonder they lose all the viewers.
So, good for the Giants, and Edgar Renteria. Good for Bruce Bochy. However, it is too bad we will be discussing how the 60-100 SF Giants missed the playoffs next year and the 82-80 Mariners win because of a dominating postseason performance by King Felix.
