First time in the post season since 2003! All right, let's make it happen. There's magic inside!

I'm sure you're more relieved you weren't swept by the Pads to force the playoff game for the division :)

From Wikipedia
On October 3, 2010, the Giants won the last regular season game of the year to clinch to NL West title. Final score 3 - 0. This game was completed by Brian Wilson and his magnificent bead.

Giants suck. Too bad the Padres didn't get in, they deserved it more.

The Braves will dispatch the Giants.

Wow you have no idea at all.


The Giants built their team around bonds and even with all his juiced numbers only won the divison 4 times in 15 years.

Former teammates have come out and addmitted he was an ass and brought the morale down.

2008 rebuilt the team (new coach and all)
2009 almost made wild card (first winning season since 2004)
2010 won divison.

The rebuilt and have only been going up since bonds left.

I watched the Giants-Padres game because I was hoping for a 3-team tiebreaker. Oh well.

But I thought it was hilarious that the Giants are supposedly one of the 4 best teams in the NL, and yet most of their team is made up of guys who couldn't hack it in the AL anymore (or never could). When can we stop calling the NL a major league?

I picked the Giants to win the West this year.

Giants
Cardinals
Phillies
WC: Dodgers

Rangers
Twins
Yankees
WC: Rays

6/8 playoff teams is not bad. The Yankees and Rays were a tossup for me.

CY:
Halladay
Sabathia

MVP:
Pujols
Mauer

I rarely keep track of rookies, but these were my picks at the beginning of the year. Halladay could have had an even better win/loss record had he gotten better run support. I heard in 8 of his starts he had 1 or 0 runs of support.
