Lincecum probably now gets viewed as best pitcher in MLB since he managed to outduel Cliff Lee twice, Halladay twice, and Lowe all in the same postseason while only loosing 1 game out of 6.

Dunno why there needed to be a "This" post for that. Like Juan clearly answered the question fine, and nobody was doubting Juan's answer.
Seems like the only reasons to post "This" in this situation is to say "Hey guys I knew the answer too!" or to try and act like the person asking the question is stupid. But that was a reasonable question IMHO. |

My friend and I tried to guess what the first thing Joe Buck was going to say when the Giants made the final out. My guess was "And for the first time since 1954 the Giants are champions of the baseball world." I was so close.

I guess I never really attribute torture to a fan base that hasn't had a championship team. Like it's only torture if your team won before so you got a taste of it and it's been torture trying to get it back. And yeah the Giants won before but it wasn't in San Francisco so it's not like San Franciscans knew what they were missing out on.
If Texas would've won nobody would've called it an end to 49 years of torture because the Rangers had never won a title before. Also "What?" @ 56 years of "losing." You've had 34 winning seasons out of 52 seasons in San Fran. Not to mention you had both the greatest all around player of all time and the all time home run leader on your teams. If that's what passes for tortured, I'm moving to Guantanamo. |

So okay, by your logic Cubs fans aren't really going through torture, since they don't know what they're missing out on? It's been 100 years, safe to assume the city has nearly forgotten the feel of their last world championship. Go watch Game 7 of the 2003 NLCS. Watch all the crying fans. I assure you, they know what they're missing out on. |

What are you talking about tb1. You completely missed the point. Cubs fans are the best example of tortured fans. The whole point is that past success brings expectations and entitlement. Nobody in San Francisco had any connection to a world champion baseball team. They can't look at past San Francisco teams and say look at when we were the best. They can't look at a time when their city had the best baseball team in the world. There's no emotional connection to the New York teams.
So just like fans in Houston, Dallas, Seattle, Tampa, DC, there is no connection to past championships that would "torture" fans like there is in Chicago and Cleveland. Also I don't even know how you can argue this when you didn't even mention you were a fan until the Giants were in contention. |

The whole "your city has to win to be tortured" thing is stupid. There's been plenty of torture for this team, and it's fans for years. You can't just throw on this stipulation and null any frustrations non-pennant winning fans have. |

I am not a Giants fan or even really a baseball fan. I tagged along during the NCLS because it was fun. tb1 on the other hand has indeed been a Giants fan since he was like 4 years old. His entire family is absolutely fucking nutty about the Giants and always have been. His dad would probably sell his children for Giants tickets.
