I am a Giants fan, however it is only the 4th inning and crazy things happen in playoff baseball. Never give up, if either of our teams did that they wouldn't be where they're at.

You can't assume the BS breaks the Giants get will occur for other teams.

Glad the Royals could finally defeat our GOAT Joe Panik.
Well if the Giants somehow piss away this game, they deserves to get swept.

I think you're forgetting what the Royals did in the wild card game. While the ump is not giving any close calls to either team, if you go by fox's pitch track, the pitch you're upset about was inside and not in the zone.

This game was over when the Royals left the bases loaded.

Royals got some breaks in that game, no doubt. Giants get those kind of breaks every game lol.

Panik panicked, Buster busted.
I'm not wrong. Giants fans are ludicrously spoiled.

Sure since 2010. They also play great when they need to. There is no big conspiracy here.

Giants haven't win a years prior to 2010. They aren't cards or yankees.

Giants fans are just happy they don't have teams that choke in the World Series.

Boston had a stupid long championship drought pre-2000. Therefore not a spoiled sports city at all.
We Yankees fans have the "entitled spoiled brat" persona down to a science, nobody is infringing on our turf.
The Red Sox fanbase tried to have their cake and eat it too by peddling their "woe is us, look at how unlucky and cursed we are" nonsense whenever the slightest thing went wrong despite their run of success the past decade plus. Giants fans would do well not to follow in their footsteps.
If you've won more than 1 world series in the past 10 years you're spoiled.
So true. Plus it's San Francisco. Just living in the city and playing in that ball park for sell out crowds every night would be enough for most players.

Or just a fan that is happy their team doesn't suck anymore. There's that too.

Just good development and coaching for both teams IMO.
The luck the Giants get are on balls in play. Since they rarely make mistakes, they just wait you out until your team beats itself or they get some random bounce in their favor. That's why they are frustrating to face.

I find this statement actually hilarious. They hadn't won a WS from 1954-2010, that's spoiled amirite
<bitter Cubs fan>
The Giants hadn't won but it's not like they were a sucky team. They had been a winning ballclub and had been to 2 world series in my lifetime before they started winning. Hell they made the playoffs too.

Being spoiled feels nice. Especially after 1989 and 2002. I wish my great Grandfather who raised our family as Giants fans, yet never got to see a championship in San Francisco, was alive to be spoiled, however he passed in 2007. I'm sorry whatever team you root for hasn't been as lucky as the Giants over the last five years but if you were fortunate enough to experience this, you'd never want it to end. Shit, we don't even know if the Giants are going to win this game, let alone the series.
Are you serious? They are tied with the Cards for second most World Series appearances, and they are tied for fourth most World Series wins.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
It's World Series time, meaning it's time for Branduil's annual woe-is-me self-pity party. Look at any of the previous postseason threads the last couple of years!
The Council is but a mere arm, nay, a mere fingernail of the nationwide Asshole Yankee fan empire.
Don't blame everyone for me, evil solrac etc. getting bored and busy with other things!

Well if you don't break up a WS winning team, they tend to keep winning. You can't fault them for this, the Giants have been smart with maintaining the core group that won in 2010.

They were the definition of mediocrity. Hell, the only team of their's I'd call great that I've seen since I've been alive was the 2003 season where they got stomped by the Marlins in the NLDS. The rest of the teams have ranged from bad to mediocre and occasionally good. All 4 teams they've had in the World Series the last 12 years have been mediocre overachievers that get hot at the right time.
The difference is, Bruce Bochy. The Giants Holy Lord and Savior.
My team has never won a world series so forgive me if I don't shed a tear for the poor longsuffering Giants fans.
