Wow this will get you pumped for our new CFer!!!! A longer than usual excerpt…Mr. McCovey Chronicles I will buy you an Anchor next time I’m in SF.
The 2010 Giants were not expected to win the World Series. No, please, sit down. Hear me out. It was a bit of an unexpected run. Everything came together in just the right way, and the baseball monkeys ended up producing the entire works of Shakespeare, mercifully getting Comedy of Errors out of the way first. The Giants won the World Series. Lead turned into gold. Cold fusion was discovered. Atlantis was found*.
When I think of the 2010 World Series, I think of Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, Edgar Renteria and Madison Bumgarner. When I think of the 2010 NLCS, I think of Cody Ross and Juan Uribe, with the usual suspects mixed in. When I think of the 2010 NLDS, I think of Ross and Lincecum again, maybe with a little Brooks Conrad mixed in.
When I think about the 2010 season — from start to finish — I think about Andres Torres.
..
And when Torres comes back next summer with the Mets, I’m going to give him a standing ovation as if he’s Willie Mays carrying Joe Montana on his shoulders after they’ve returned from the first manned mission to Mars
And you’ll find some more Torres love here.
