Congrats to the San Fransisco Giants

Congratulations to the San Fransisco Giants on winning the 2010 World Series. This World Series I actually found pretty watchable. Probably because the games lasted under 3 hours. As opposed to Red Sox/Yankees games that are contractually obligated to last over 5 hours, or Bud Selig would call the game a tie, thus not counting as an official game

I discussed this with my friend Phil, the Giants are probably up there (or down, depending on how you look at it) as one of the least talented offenses to WIN a World Series. But, for sure, one of the best TEAMS of all time. This team was put together with scotch tape and recycled newspapers. And they have Edgar Rentaria, who was just named World Series MVP. Who also became only the 4th player of all time to have 2 game-winning RBI in clinching games in World Series history: Gehrig, Dimaggio and Yogi Berra were the others. And according to Wikipedia, those three players were pretty good. Of course he will always hold a special place in Red Sox fans' hearts for making the FINAL out of the 2004 World Series. (Happy Place)
Speaking of which, I would like to see a baseball simulation between the 2004 St. Louis Cardinals, who were probably one of the most talented offenses in World Series history not to win and the 2010 San Fransisco Giants.
