Woooo Giants!
Wooo! Congratulations to the San Francisco Baseball Giants for winning the World's Pennant!
Now I'll admit that I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but it's always good to see the hometown team win. Since moving to San Francisco from New York in 1932, the Giants have only won the championship one other time, in 1974, so this victory was a big relief for their long-suffering fans. The sad days at Candlestick Peak are over!
The Giants are of course led by their awesome batsman Barry Bonds, the dynamic fielding of J.T. Snow, and the clutch pitching of someone I'm told is named "Tim Lincecum." Let's see if Google can help me identify that last guy.

Gah! What the hell is that thing? He looks like the lead singer of Journey crossed with a spider monkey. THIS is a baseball superstar?
Jesus, this sport is terrible. Go Sharks!

this is the kind of crack research I’ve come to expect from the BoC staff.

crack research
If by this you mean smoking crack and writing a blog post, you have no idea how right you really are.

Just the kind of crack I would expect from an Av’s fan who lobbies Wysh to write the Sharks Eulogy at Puck Daddy last year who is claiming to be one of “The fans who hated them the most.”

To be very fair, though, Wyshynski contacts you for that gig, not the other way around.

And it’s done before the playoffs start, so even the first round results aren’t factored in.

and I’m a little rude above. Sorry J-S.

This part is the bit that has me confused.

I just named the only two players I know that were ever on the Giants, then Rudy told me about this weird-looking pitcher guy.

this isn’t the first time you’ve been confused on here huh?

One of the related posts that came up on this was a guest post Rudy put up for me in 2009 in which I bitch about every other sport and how much it sucks:
To get an idea of exactly how boring baseball is, just try turning on any game this season right in the middle of the “action.” At any random moment you start watching, I’ll bet you cash money I can tell you what’s happening in the game:
NOT A GOD-DAMNED THING.
Baseball is mostly just fat dudes standing around. I can see that at Wal-Mart. I don’t have time for this shit. I’m looking to be entertained.
I make some excellent points.

yeah I had someone ask me yesterday if I follow baseball, I said no. Tho I do follow scores, there is no way I can sit thru a game. Not live, not on tv. It is way too damn slow for me.

WSJ: Football games have 11 minutes of action
FOX Sports: Baseball games have 14 minutes of action
At least they hit each other in football. I can’t sit through either one.
I still give football the edge because football action is actual exciting. Baseball “action” can just be a couple of foul balls and then a dude walking slowly to first base.

Congratulations San Francisco!
They definitely deserved this WS championship. The fans, the city, and the team has literally been tortured for so long—thanks in part to my Angels—and I am definitely happy for them.
Now, back to business, GO DUCKS! and for the 2011 baseball season: GO ANGELS!
LOS ANGELES ANGELS . . . ANAHEIM DUCKS . . . CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS
