It's a great feeling to watch my team, the San Francisco Giants, beat a fantastic team like the Texas Rangers, against the best pitcher in the playoffs over the last two years, in a year where no one believed in the Giants.
No one believed they would win win a wild card spot let alone, ultimately, the NL West.
Many believed they wouldn't get out of the first round, which they won 3-1.
Most believed they had no shot against the pitching and hitting of the Phillies. They won 4-2.
No one thought they would beat the Rangers, the best hitting team in the league with a fantastic starting staff, led by the (seemingly) unhittable Cliff Lee. They win the series 4-1.
Congratulations, San Francisco. In a year where no one believed in you, it goes to show that the old adage of believing in yourself was more than enough to take to the end...with the help of of the fans! Even the most pessimistic of the fans believed in this team, the self-described ragtag band of misfits and castoffs. Great pitching, clutch hitting, and heart is all you need.
