Ok. I know TAW is pretty much a "meh.." forum for sports talk, but it's been so super dang boring in here that I'll do anything to get some life breathed into this here region of CF!

My Giants get to the Wild Card game. One game must-win, and we beat Pittsburgh, shutting them out. Then we go to the NLDS with the Nationals, a team with a total combined ERA of 3.04, and we beat em...hard! Next stop--the Cardinals! We just might be in another World Series, baby! Go Giants! :cool::thumbsup:

They have a baseball team too? I thought they were just football...

They might want to think about changing their name before the Nephilim accuse them of racism!

Go Vikings!


The best part..Both the Giants football team & baseball team were originally in New York, until they banished the baseball team to The Left Coast! ;)

It must've been a case of "voluntary banishment," Rob! Both the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Baseball Giants moved to the West Coast at the same time in 1958. The Mets then filled in the shoes of the Giants in NY. They saw the opportunity and left. Perhaps they got sick of snow, salted roads, grumpy and pushy East Coasters, the subways, and oldness of the New York area to trade it in for blue skies, warmth, gangs, pot, beaches, and good vibrations! ^_^:p

Since you've ALWAYS been one of my favorite posters, Mary, I'm focused ONLY on the large font, not the small subtitles! :p:D

Congrats, Gurney!

even though I still hate them for beating the Rangers . . .

:p

Man, I can't fathom the hopeless, empty, dreary prospect of being a Vikings fan. Ugh. Great uniform, helmets, name, but dang that team can never get anywhere. Those poor dudes....in the same class with the Lions. Pure torture!

The Niners are torture to pull for, but at least they've given fans some thrills and moments, 5 titles, something. Vikings..bruuu-tal!

We tore up the Rangers AND the Tigers, two AL monsters with huge talent. Everyone is telling me, "they won't make it to the WS! And if they do, no way they win!" Deja vu from 2010 and 2012! LOL

I do have to say that the Royals and Orioles are super talented teams. The Giants, imho, can handle St. Louis, but those two AL teams will be a tough hill to climb. But after seeing Bochey's boys do it twice in the past, I have faith...

Me too. They just had better beards that year.

I'm wondering when the followers of Muhammad are going to take offense to the name Oakland "Raiders".

(attempted thread kill :p)

I'm completely disengaged from baseball this year, so I can't really work up much hate for any team. :)

And oh, btw, the Dallas Stars begin their season tonight. Woot!!!!!
