Shame that wasn't a no doubles defense situation... which I hate BTW.
When we did that the other game it burned us... To me that is like the NFL Prevent Defense; I hate both... play the way you have been all along dammit.
good call dude, 2 conference championship series in 3 seasons = a cinderella team
Maybe storybook is the term I should have used - make it into playoffs on shootout, come back down 3-0 in 3-0 series...make it to finals...pretty awesome!

epic I know isn't it, wish your team could pull something off like that once in a lifetime???
Ugh. We manage 1 championship with this core of players.
Ryan Howard wasn't brought out of the minors until he was 40. He's an offensive black hole that gets fed a diet of breaking balls in the post season...
Chase Utley has Chuck Knoblauch hands all of a sudden. He is the prototypical Moneyball All-Star who's devaluation from late 20s to age 30 has left my head spinning...
Jimmy has been dead since his steroid-laden MVP season...

The Giants are a good team that was underrated by too many pundits and fans... They had every chance to take this series. Storybook isn't even a good term, IMO.

Where else to direct my venom...
We have made it to two world series and an NLCS now with this core of guys. I will always be grateful for them giving me the chance to experience my first Championship in Philly but I WANT ANOTHER ONE DAMNIT!

They weren't really underrated. They have watched the Phillies get themselves out and uncharacteristically beat themselves. Ibanez drops the Burrell shot in game 1 for example. I don't think the giants are that good, their pitching is as advertised, but frankly outside of Cody Ross and Buster Posey they really haven't done much other then get the one timely hit the phils have consistently avoided.
