The long haired, weed smoking kid on the mound in game #5 last night had it all going on. He was seriously stoning the Texas Rangers to the point they just gave in. The Rangers didn’t want to get back on a plane to California, and the Giants weren’t flying back to the bay area without the trophy.
For the first time in 56 years, the San Francisco Giants won professional sports’ biggest achievement, and brought the trophy to San Francisco where they moved to from New York in 1958. I think of all the Giants of the past like a Bobby Bonds, Jeff Kent, and Will Clark who had given their guts with no glory. The biggest thing about this is that Barry Bonds didn’t get to be on this team. It was all Bonds, no team, when he played with them, and this 2010 group was a team.
Huff, Uribe and Tim Lincecum were all clutch in the series and could of all received the MVP award. But Renteria was just huge in the last couple games, just as he had been with Florida 13 years earlier. Every team has a hero, and he returned to the form when he was a young national league killer, good for him and his team the San Francisco Giants.
There is going to a one huge party in the streets tomorrow in the city by the bay, and the only thing missing would probably be Jerry Garcia riding on top of the Furthur Bus smoking a fat one with the freak.
See you around Scottsdale in March.
