Long Time Coming

Congrats to the San Francisco Giants for their first World Series title since their Polo Grounds days in New York in 1954.
While the Giants have great pitching, I thought for sure the Rangers would put up more of a fight. Last night 3 hits against Tim Lincecum and the night before a measly 3 hits off rookie Madison Bumgarner.
Just 6 hits at home in the final two games of the World Series for the Rangers? Wow, never saw that coming.
I'm happy for the Giants and their fans. 56-years is a long time to go between World Series championships.
With the Giants pitching, would anybody be surprised if they are back in the mix next year? I wouldn't.
As for the Series MVP, Edgar Renteria, who belted a 3-run homer last night off Cliff Lee, proved that he still has some game left. Renteria hit .412 for the series with 2 key homers and 6 RBI's. Pretty good for a guy who hit 3 homers with 22 RBI's during the regular season.
