Kinda sucks when all of your playoff losses come in the World Series.

That's his payoff. When he locates his breaking pitches, he climbs the ladder when he wants the K.

He deals the cheese, batter eat it.

OBVIOUSLY, mad props to the Royals. Not once in the Rangers and Tigers series did I think the Giants were going to lose. The Royals legitimately scared me all the way through the playoffs, because they seems so much like the 2010 Giants.

That said... Feels good.

Where's Quake? Someone make sure he's still wearing his belt around his waist.

Bumgarner, best pitcher in the game. Congrats Giants fans!

That Bumgarner guy. Dude just wanted to win.

Two outs, nobody on, and the Giants bobble a single or stretch-double into the game-tying run at 3rd.

Nuts.

I'm glad the Giants didn't have to field another fair ball, because I think their knees were shaking at that point.

If Clayton Kershaw allows more than three earned runs in the postseason, I'll eat my shoe.

How did your shoe taste?

it sure is a luxury to actually witness your team win a title instead of reminiscing your dad's memories. seen this movie 3 times and it doesn't get old.

We're and1'd out from last night. We need a break.

But, it must have been awesome for you too; to be huddled around the radio listening to Chuck Essegian belt those pinch-hit homers in the '59 series, I mean. Truly, memories to last a lifetime.

A Visit to a Proud Father's Home in Madison Bumgarner Country

give him a break he had a rough post season. he is well aware and jelly that giants are the greatest franchise of our generation.

Props to the Giants. They may not have been the best team over 162 games but they sacked up when it mattered most and that's what Champions do.
