Giants win the Series! Giants win the Series!

Go ahead, say it. It's no longer mere fantasy or sheer folly to do so. A rare mix of veteran rejects and budding stars completed an unlikely ascent to the Major League summit Monday night, allowing all to repeat a five-word phrase never before heard:

World Series champion San Francisco Giants. The Giants made franchise history with a 3-1 triumph over the Rangers in Game 5 of the World Series, ignoring their underdog status to capture the 106th Fall Classic, four games to one.

An unlikely hero combined with a likely one to elevate San Francisco to new heights.

It reminded me of Tommy Lasorda choosing to pitch to the Cardinals' Jack Clark in the 1985 NLCS with first base open. Clark took the slowest home run trot I ever remember.

Ahhh, memories.... I was driving up a dirt road heading back to camp after deer hunting when I heard that call. Awesome...

Winning 103 games and losing to LA on the last day of the season in 1993.

Oh...and that was probably the most painful event of them all...

The Texas Rangers have just sacrificed themselves for the betterment of their country, by suppressing the vote in San Francisco on election day, while all the drunks are recovering from their celebrations. Thank you Texas for doing your duty to God and your country. True Patriots!

And tweaking the East Coast media was also an added bonus.

All the “experts” in the media picked the Rangers and said the Giants couldn’t beat Cliff Lee 1x, let alone 2x

But they did.

Tim Lincecum > Cliff Lee

I took one look at the homo doper pitching and decided not to watch the post season. I normally don’t watch NL anyway, but that just sealed it.

Yes, SF Republicans and Independents, it’s your chance to storm the polls to vote against Nancy Pelosi. She has indicated she’s not interested in serving if she’s not speaker anymore, so let’s oblige her. She has refused to debate her opponent or to acknowledge his campaign.

Go to the polls. Vote her out. The dems will be drunk or hungover. They will try to vote on Wednesday.

Enjoy it, San Fran, tomorrow is NOVEMBER 2nd, and you WILL get your A!! handed to you, politically. Enjoy the ride.

----------------------------------------------------------

I am enjoying it tonight, thanks! Tomorrow night will also be a lot of fun, seeing San Fran Nan rejected resoundingly by America.

Remember, FRiend, that there are a lot of folks who, like me, are forced by economic necessity to live amongst hoards of DemonRat liberals. Not everyone who lives in the Bay Area is a Rat. FR provides a welcome haven from the leftism that surrounds us.

Yeah, but you have to live in Texas!

And this is a bad thing?

Sorry, I guess I don't see the virtue in soon-to-be-Governor Moonbeam, draconian gun control, and a 9% state income tax.

You have fun with your World Series win though.

You are wrong. CA has a top tax rate of 10.55%.

I am considering retiring in TX. I can afford a much bigger house there. :)

Houston has more gays, per capita, than any other major city in the country!

Huh? According to whom? This says its not even in the per capita top 10:

Why are Californians bashing Texans on Election Eve? Don't blame us for the fact that you elect statist hoodlums to represent you.
