Had you told any Giants fans back in 2009 that they would have 3 in 5 years, they'd laugh in your face. Hell, we still can't get over it or believe it.
Keep in mind before they went on this run, the Giants hadn't won a World Series since 1954.

But baseball is a joke because a well run franchise wins championships and a team that has been a joke in baseball for 30 years doesn't!!!! Grrrr!!!

I really dislike the trophy presentations in the major sports (except hockey).

I've been to a ton of Royals games throughout my life and have watched them be terrible for years, but I'm proud of the effort they showed and the fact that they made it to the World Series. It wasn't the best series to watch because of the blowouts, but this game was very entertaining.
Bumgarner is an absolute beast and made the Royals hitters look awful. Props to him, Panda, and Pence since they seemed like the ones who made the biggest difference in the series.
A few notes from what I watched (was driving during 4-6 inning).
Hos is an idiot for sliding. They teach you not to slide into first base in little league. Run at full speed through the base. Come on.
I don't know what the hell Sal was thinking swinging at balls near his head. Just be patient and wait for your pitch.
I would have just sent Gordo home because fuck it, but I'll have to see the replay to see if it would have been close or not.

May the Schwartz be with you
I never understood giving a player a car when majority of them have enough money to wipe their ass with more. (i know lolmarketing)
That right there is a snippet of bud.
Do things so stupid that they make you question if he has a brain.

Bumgarner would have resuscitated him
Yeah, I live in a quiet neighborhood and I can still hear fireworks and people yelling.
Hahaha. This got me.

I don't know if it's the production but this whole presentation feels strangely low key. Bumgarner looks about as excited as if he won a game of bingo at the local senior citizens center.

NHL Stanley Cup presentation is the only celebration that's exciting. Basketball is a close second. Baseball and Football are boring because they worry too much about their image.

Why the hell is the trophy presentation not on the field like football or hockey is?
Like why?
Like why?
Wow, only 4 titles in 50 years. That's only 4 more than my team.
You got to see what a fat dude looks like after 5 hours of bbq in kc though.

Hudson should have gotten MVP for drilling Perez and taking away the strength that Perez surely would've used to take Bumgarner out of the park to win the Series.
And children, let's shy away from the salt garbage. Bunch of internet tough guys in here, fuck.

chances are he would have been caught, then everyone and the media would by asking why they didnt let perez have the opportunity to bring him home
damned if you do, damned if you don't
Would have thrown a ball at his chest at the correct angle and speed for the needed compression to restart his heart.

GG Royals, you guys made this an awesome series. Even as proud as I am of my Giants, you guys winning would've been awesome too for how hard you played.
Friday's gonna be insane, but tomorrow will be too... Can't wait to head into work tomorrow!
Oh and will be picking up some extra copies of The Examiner as wrapping paper for my friend who's a Dodgers fan (it's all in good fun).

For some reason they stopped doing on field presentations when Away teams won a few years back.
