World Series
The Dugout: End of the Season Spectacular
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsMy sincerest possible congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for becoming the 2010 World Series champions of Baseball and Fun. They're a great team full of struggling hitters and lovable nobodies, which makes them exactly the type of team that should be winning the World Series. Everybody who complains about the Yankees (and that is almost everybody) should appreciate this. To all the Giants fans I know, Bill and Lisa and Matt and everybody else, I'm very happy for you. That being said, I cannot wait to spend three months away from these guys. It's like the Mighty Ducks, only super ...
San Francisco Parties Its Heart Out
By Lisa Olson - AOL NewsSAN FRANCISCO -- "You go, girl!" And with that simple utterance, more than five decades of heartache and frustration yielded to jubilation and exhilaration, because there on the large TV screens was Tim Lincecum -- "Timmy," to one and all -- being hoisted atop the shoulders of his teammates, his long, glorious hair fluttering, his right index finger pointed upward, his legacy as one of this city's toughest, most charismatic sporting characters cemented forever. Inside The Midnight Sun, a noted gay bar in the heart of the Castro district, there were joyous tears and spontaneous hugging of ...
San Francisco Giants Win First Series Since 1954
By not in system - AOL News
ARLINGTON, Texas (Nov. 2) -- The great thing about baseball is that none of us really knows a damn thing about it. There was no way that any thoughtful analysis in spring training or over the summer or in September or even last week could come up with the scene that unfolded here on a cool November night. When the final out of the 2010 World Series was recorded, it was the San Francisco Giants who were sprinting onto the field for the customary dogpile. That was Cody Ross, Aaron Rowand and Andres Torres who slammed into each other as they ran in from their spots in the outfield. That was ...
Giants Move to Brink of World Series Title
By not in system - AOL News
ARLINGTON, Texas (Oct. 31) -- The Giants moved within one victory of the franchise's first championship in 56 years with a 4-0 victory over the Rangers in Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night, playing the type of game that has defined the team in this improbable run. Rookie Madison Bumgarner pitched eight innings and the Giants got the lead on Aubrey Huff's two-run homer in the third inning, his first homer of the postseason. Giants closer Brian Wilson finished things in the ninth inning to cap the shutout. ...
The Dugout: I Don't Like Brian Wilson
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsI'm serious, I don't. No, I don't care what you have to say. I do not ever want to see this guy or hear him talk ever again. I want to go back to my comfortable world where the San Francisco Giants are just Willie Mays and Barry Bonds and I don't have to learn their names or know anything about them. I also don't like Matt Cain, because he is maybe the ugliest person I have ever seen in my life. Yes, this is all just slander. Yes, I still like any Giants fans who are readers and respect their opinions. Yes, we're probably going to keep using that picture of the horse's butt to represent ...
Ron Washington Costume Kid to Call 'Play Ball' for World Series Game 4
By Michael Katz - AOL NewsA winner is Liam Roybal. There will be plenty of costume contests this Halloween, but Roybal -- better known as Internet sensation "Little Ron Washington" -- is king. On Sunday night, his legend will grow, as the seven-year-old Ron Washington impersonator will call "Play ball" before Game 4 of the World Series. The Rangers gave Roybal two free tickets to the game and asked him to make the call while in costume. The transformation from 7-year-old to celebrated manager occurs with the help of a fake mustache, sunglasses and a partially shaved head. Then Roybal throws on his own baseball ...
World Series Reporter's 'They're Smoking Weed' Clip Becomes Prop. 19 Ad
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 29) -- The smell of victory? Just before game two of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers on Thursday, a reporter for a Dallas television station filed a story on the scene outside AT&T park for the local audience back home. But rather than the usual cliches about the picturesque view of San Francisco Bay, Newy Scruggs' story dealt almost entirely about the illegal substance being used by fans a short distance away. Here's the original version: The group Internet Today quickly edited and tacked on a pro-Proposition 19 message to the end of the ...

Tony Bennett's a Hit at World Series Opener [VIDEO]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 28) -- While the Giants' Freddy Sanchez emerged as Wednesday's unsuspected star of the World Series opener, leading San Francisco to an 11-7 victory with his three consecutive doubles against Rangers ace Cliff Lee, it was the 84-year-old Tony Bennett who may have stolen the show. The 15-time Grammy-winning singer was as on top of his game as any of the big leaguers when he belted out this version of "God Bless America" at AT&T Park. Follow Surge Desk on Twitter. ...
The Dugout: Cliff Lee Is Just the Absolute Worst
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsCliff Lee is my favorite baseball player. He's the first real "favorite player" I've had since Cal Ripken, Jr., retired. He rose to prominence when I was living in Cleveland, and he gave me a great reason to swing that little-used It's Tribe Time Now rally towel around my head. I moved to Texas, and so did Cliff. I've been cheering for him throughout the playoffs, posting angry messages about VORP and WHIP on message boards, defending him against those who'd say Tim Lincecum would do a better job. "Cliff's my favorite," I'd say. "He'll come through when they need him the most." As a true ...
