GIANTS WIN 2ND WORLD TITLE IN 3 YEARS WITH SWEEP!!!

The San Francisco Giants were dropped from the playoff discussion entirely nationwide when Melky Cabrera got suspended for 50 games and then the Dodgers made a monumental trade to make LA look like the favorite in the NL West. Looks can be deceiving, can't they.

In fact, the Giants made it to the World Series and were beating the Detroit Tigers into the ground with a big game 1 win and then two shutouts to follow. Game 4 was earlier tonight in Detroit and it was close to sweeter end.

The Giants started off the scoring in the 2nd inning with Hunter Pence getting on with a ground rule double and then Brandon Belt hitting him in with a triple to right. The Tigers answered back in the bottom of the 3rd with a 2 run home run by Miguel Cabrera to give them their first lead in any game of the World Series. Buster Posey finally came alive with a 2 run shot of his own in the 6th inning to get the lead back. Delmon Young of the Tigers, however, would tie the game with a solo shot in the bottom half of the 6th. After that, Matt Scherzer and Matt Cain would leave the game to their respective bullpens which caused the game to go into extras.

Top of the 10th came along with Giants DH Ryan Theriot getting a lead off single off of Phil Coke. Brandon Crawford would then sac bunt him over to 2nd base. After Angel Pagan struck out swinging, Marco Scutaro came up with 2 outs and Theriot on 2nd. He delivered a base hit to center with Ryan Theriot sliding into home off the hit. Austin Jackson's throw was not in time.

Sergio Romo then came out to close out game (because we need a beard to end every World Series). He struck out Austin Jackson swinging. He struck out Don Kelly swinging. All that was left was the Triple Crown Winner Miguel Cabrera. STRUCK OUT LOOKING!!!

GIANTS WIN 4-3 IN 10 INNINGS AND SWEEP THE TIGERS IN THE WORLD SERIES!!!

They have done it again. For the 2nd time in three seasons, the San Francisco Giants are World Champions. The amazing season ends in Detroit with champagne for all.

Truly a team effort all season long as there was no one player that had got them there. They had a great rotation, a solid lineup with players all over delivering at different times, and great defense making the difficult look routine. Pablo Sandoval was named MVP of the series for batting .500 throughout the series and the three home runs hit in game 1. He deserves the World Series MVP trophy (and the car) as one of the big guys stepping up in this series.

As for the Tigers, they fall just short again of a title with Jim Leyland as their manager. I did like the Tigers too for eliminating the Yankees but all 'likes' were off for the World Series match up. They still have a solid team and are likely going to be contenders again next season.

The moment goes to the Giants, however, with a 2nd World Series title for San Francisco. It's their 7th World Title overall for the franchise. Congrats to Manager Bruce Bochy and the team he led. They are once again Giants of the World.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Sis.
