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.

Dude they should have won against Anaheim. That team had JT Snow, Rich Aurillia, Jeff Kent, and Barry Bonds at near the peak of his power. Dusty Baker was the worst manager of bullpens though. Mediocre? Hell no.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

My team has never won a world series so forgive me if I don't shed a tear for the poor longsuffering Giants fans.

I don't even know if it's worth my effort to point out that the 8 teams which have never won the WS currently in the MLB didn't even exist in 1954 when the Giants won the WS as the New York Giants.

They should have one, both neither the Angels or Giants should have been in the World Series. They were mediocre as hell.

That 2002 Giants team won 95 games. The Angels won 99.

 

[Corran Horn]

Nasty

 

[devilhawk]

The second strike on Moose would have hit a batter standing in the right batter's box haha.

Maybe you were too young to remember. I've been a fan. That team was fucking awesome. They had some rally's to win games that year, but Barry also hit monster home runs. That was a very good NL lineup. Angels had power all over it too.

 

[wenis]

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!

I'll have to take a look back to see this. While I watch the Giants take another series back home.

Then I'll go party in the Mission.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Clean inning there

 

[devilhawk]

Duff man looking good though. Maybe he starts game 5.

 

[wario]

dat curveball was too good

 

[Maddocks]

first the giants ruin lee, then verlander and now shields. Gross.

Pitchers have bad luck in game ones in the world series vs the giants.

 

[see5harp]

Mad Bum still never given up a run in the World Series. If he gets 2 wins in this series as the starter, it's probably time to start talking about him as one of the greatest post season pitchers all time.

Yeah, the 2000-2004 squads I'd hardly classify as mediocre. Not compared to some of those 1980s clubs, some of the mid 90s clubs, or the 2005-2008 ones,

first the giants ruin lee, then verlander and now shields. Gross.

Unlike those others though, Shields wasn't great earlier in the postseason.

 

[lucius]

Giants Dynasty

 

[Wellscha]

Shields let us down.

 

[MC_Hify]

Then I'll go party in the Mission.

You're going to light a bus on fire again aren't you?

 

[Chuck]

JDHarbs are you okay

post if you're okay

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

I am looking good thank you! I just got a hair cut.

:lol

After what? Two years?

 

[JDHarbs]

JDHarbs are you okay

post if you're okay

I'm more concerned about Askani

 

[Windu]

after an awesome postseason besides that pittsburgh wild card game we get this shit.

 

[see5harp]

:lol

After what? Two years?

Look at his stats. It's not actually as crazy as you might think.

 

[JDHarbs]

Duffy should've started.

 

[Askani]

Bad day for the Royals when they won't shut up about the haircut. All they have to talk about. :/

 

[Corran Horn]

They trying to kill bum out there.

 

[lazybones18]

 

[Beatofficer]

Please stop trying to murder Bumgarner, Royals.

 

[Triz]

Madbum is a beast. A little sad I have to spend more money to buy his jersey.

 

[Syphon Filter]

 

[Dominican Power]

Goddamn Royals

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

The Yankee Council is a shell of its former self.

we'll be back! we're in hiding right now!

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!

i'm not worried. we'll be back. for now I am enjoying seeing new teams rise in the AL.

 

[captive]

Nice, team with homefield advantage has won 25 out of 32 of the last world series, lets attach home field advantage to the freaking all star game!

 

[BFIB]

Royals, you had one job.

 

[friskykillface]

Weird, it looked like someone shot him with how he fell.

 

[see5harp]

Hell yea let's get into their bullpen.

 

[Maddocks]

Royals..more like LOLoyals......I'll see myself out.

 

[DietRob]

I'm going to excuse the Royals tonight as World Series game one anxiety. They really need to get over it though. Have to break this even year nonsense.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Well shit. This game is a wash.

Wellscha told me there is till time.
