RUPERTKBD Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not a big Giants fan....nor the Tigers, either. The most important thing is that the Yankees lost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God dammit...friggin riots Haven't they seen what happened to vancouver..... And I believe if there were to be a riot it'd be in downtown san francisco and I'm pretty sure GM said he lives in Oakland IIRC, I'm probably wrong though Oh yeah - and its time to change your name to chisoxin13, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver had to do the walk of shame, when the idiots destroyed downtown, guess the storm and election is too much for the American media. I'm still licking my wounds as to what might have been, and yes come spring, after I get back from Hawaii, I'll be soxin13. The Tiggers collapsed worse than my Sox.

Tony Romo Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Congrats to the San Francisco Giants on their 2nd World Series win in three years! Interesting playoffs this year, better than last season imo. Last years game 6 in the world series was the best game I have ever seen. Congrats san Francisco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I believe if there were to be a riot it'd be in downtown san francisco and I'm pretty sure GM said he lives in Oakland IIRC, I'm probably wrong though Oh yeah - and its time to change your name to chisoxin13, lol Nope, I live in San Francisco, yes I'm still alive, and yes I got a firsthand look at the mayhem. Not quite the magnitude or intensity of the Vancouver Cup riots but after all, the Canucks lost. I watched this game at a bar in Mission district, and walked past a lot of the madness on Mission street (where a lot of the fires were, but not the burning bus, which was downtown). I live on the west end of the city, which is far less prone to these spontaneous displays of joy, shall we say. However, because of street blockages (and eventual closures) I ended up having to walk most of the way home, which took a very long time. Good luck getting a cab in this city on a regular day, let alone after a major championship. Anyways, regardless of that, a big kudos to the Giants. They really won as a team this year, and I think the City is showing a lot of love not just for the uniform or the end result (which are obvious), but for how they came together. It's a cliche to say "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game", but I've always believed it all the same, and I think the Giants can truly say they won the right way. Having said that, they didn't make it easy on themselves getting out of the NL, that's for sure. Parade's on Wednesday, still trying to figure out if there's any way at all I can cut work to go see it. Seems like a no-brainer, but I've really got a critical day of work that day too... EDIT: Oh, and I feel a little bad for the Tigers. I don't know why but they never really looked in this one. I'm sure the layoff was partly responsible, though the Giants were undoubtedly deserving and the better team over the small sample size. Wouldn't be too shocked to see these two teams contending for a rematch next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Don't hate Giants are my second favorite team Well, the two teams they beat in the last few years were my team and my second team. I can't help being upset with the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTavares Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 How bout them Giants!! Love MLB playoffs. Pbbly the best playoffs of 4 major sports in NA. These playoffs were so boring. ZZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter56 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Last years game 6 in the world series was the best game I have ever seen. Congrats san Francisco Yeah true -- being one strike away and then coming back to win the whole thing -- I was thinking about the playoffs as a whole. The Yankees and Orioles series. The Giants amazing comeback throughout the entire series. The Nationals epic collapse etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
