They Did It! Giants Win World Series

Well Giants fans, it's time to officially go crazy, as the San Francisco Giants are World Champs for the first time in history! Tim Lincecum was brilliant in a fitting end to a great run by the Giants, as they defeated Texas 4 games to 1.

There's not too much I can say right now, as I want to join the rest of the Giants' brethren in celebrating this thing, but how professional is Edgar Renteria and how nails was Timmy? Edgar, with the torn biceps muscle and all,

just lit up Texas pitching in this series to win himself the MVP. And Timmy, well, Giants fans are well aware of this kids moxie by now, and that Game 5 start by Lincecum showed everyone in the world just how dominant this kid is! Every Giants fan on the face of the planet watched the game, so that's all I really have to say right now!!! This bunch has been amazing to follow, write about and cover, and I've been waiting for this moment since my first Giants' letdown after that heartbreaking end to the 1993 season.... We'll have much, much more on this series and the recap to the Giants memorable 2010 season in the coming days, but right now, it's time to celebrate and enjoy this, cause this is truly a once in a lifetime event, and what a way to celebrate out 5th anniversary here at The Giants Baseball Blog!

I'm so happy for this team. They deserved it, they played so hard for each other and pulled for one another. It really reminded me of like a college type team with their energy and enthusiasm. Go Giants, 2010 World Champions.... Won't ever get sick of saying that!

Did you know the Giants have their origins in Troy, N.Y.?

The Troy Record newspaper is circulating a petition to have the team bring their World Series trophy on a visit to the city to allow citizens to see what became of the once Troy City Trojans.

Giants Still Need Infield Help

On Saturday, the Giants finalized a 2 year contract extension with Freddy Sanchez, who they acquired in July for Tim Alderson. The new deal for Sanchez will pay him 12 million over the next 2 seasons instead of 8.5 million for just 2010, which was his option for 2010. I've voiced my disappointment in Sanchez a few times here since the Giants dealt for him over the summer. He wasn't able to stay on the field full time to help this club with their run at the NL Wild Card, and even when he was in there, he didn't seem to make much of an impact in th e lineup. Now, I wasn't necessarily hoping the Giants would cut ties with Sanchez (they probably would have had to pay 4 million or so to buy him out), just didn't think he was worth upwards of 10 million dollars, and would have liked to see the Giants pursue someone like Orlando Hudson with that money. The Giants already have an infielder who's being paid about 3-4 times what his play over the last 2 seasons would indi...

WORLD SERIES: Giants Move Up 2-0 on Texas

PreGame After taking game one in a surprising slug-fest , the Giants look to go up 2-0 on the Rangers in the World Series on Thursday night. The Giants are sending out Matt Cain, a guy who I'm sure every Giants' fan is pretty confident in. He'll be a opposed by C.J. Wilson, who's in his first year as a full-time starter, but has been brilliant in the role. He did struggle his last time out though, so hopefully the Giants can get to him early and get into his head a bit. I'm going to do something I've never done here on this unique occasion, and sort of do an in-game post. updating this post every time I feel I have something to add. So go Giants, and be sure to check back throughout the game, and after, to vent or whatever! As long as Matt Cain keeps rolling, and the Giants keep coming up with those clutch 2-out hits, we should be OK. Texas has that high-powered offense that can score in a hurry, as we saw last night, so the Giants cannot let down and have to t...

Giants Notes: Lincecum Signs, Ross to Boston

Well, even though I touched on it a little bit in our last post, I haven't really had a chance to get my thoughts out on the new Lincecum deal since he and the Giants agreed earlier in the week. Also, on the other end of things, the Giants missed out on shoring up their outfield by letting Cody Ross sign in Boston for only $3 million in 2012. First off, obviously, wanted to talk a bit about Lincecum. I've already said here that I didn't expect him to sign a long-term deal that takes him through free agency, but it doesn't mean he wants to leave San Francisco like everyone is suspecting. I mean, if I were Lincecum, I'd probably do the same thing, even if I planned on eventually signing with the Giants long-term. Why take a chance at mitigating your value to just sign a deal? Granted, a 5 year, $100 million deal isn't anything to sneeze at, in this market, if he were a free agent, Lincecum could probably easily command a 8 year, $200 million deal. If he could get ...
