I really really really want the Royals to win, but I have nothing but respect for the Giants and wouldn't care too much if they did it again. Having a real dynasty in the big four would be cool.

I don't think winning three out of five championships would qualify as a dynasty. At least by my definition, they'd have to have won back-to-back at least once. Then again, ESPN was declaring the Patriots a dynasty during the regular season leading up to their second title in three years.

I would say you would have to give them at least some consideration. It's not your traditional powerhouse dynasty like those turn of the century Yankees, but seeing a team win three titles in five seasons is pretty rare.

I'm not completely comfortable with this "San Francisco Giants Dynasty" talk just yet. Talk to me in a week or two.

Here's a silly little thing I do to prepare for Giants World Series games.

Back before the 2010 World Series, my parents took a trip to Mexico, and for some strange reason my mom (who doesn't drink at all) brought me back of Patron Reposado. I sipped that all throughout the series and they won, so I decided to grab another bottle for the 2012 World Series. Well, I guess the tradition continues...

The only game I totally forgot to take a pre game shot for was game 3 in 2010. But I'm not superstitious at all or anything :P

Anyone else do something similar when their teams are fighting for a championship?

In the modern era of sports, 3 out of 5 is about as close to a dynasty as you're going to see. With the way two of the major sports have salary caps that make it hard to retain players, with the way the NBA is just all messed up with it's cap system, and how in baseball the big teams can add a TON every off season, it's just too hard. The '09 Phillies were close, and ran in to a Yankees team with a payroll of eleven billion dollars and stars up and down the roster. Still should have won though.

ESPN really did that? I don't remember that...and I'm a huge Pats fan. Pats started off that 2003 season slow, traded away Lawyer Milloy right before the season opener, and they started their winning streak, but they weren't dominant. The 2004 season had much more "dynasty" talk from what I remember.

By the way...the guy wearing the Marlins gear tonight...c'mon, man...info on the dude is here

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I wouldnt be completly rage ridden if the Giants win the world series because A.) Since the move to the west coast the Dodgers have won 5, the Giants 2 and have been too more world series. B.) The Dodgers are set up go on a 90s Yankees like dynasty at any moment. That is worth have to spend these last few years watching the Giants win.

The early 2000s Texas Rangers just said hi.

This 200 million dollar teams main purpose is to keep fans in the seat why they rebuild the farm. The real team will be here in 2 years. The way to build a dynasty is to develop a core and put some free agents that fit around them. I would expect the payroll too dramatically decrease. They have been planning this since the new ownership came in.
