55, I can only imagine how excited you are. Have fun, man. :clap:

End this nonsensical talk of "dynasty" that's rearing its ugly head again. :rolleyes2:

It'd be pretty sensical to label the Giants a dynasty if they win their 3rd title in 5 years. Even if they don't it's reasonable.

Apparently Giants fans' definition of dynasty differs from that of the rest of the free world.

Best team of the current era. By no means a dynasty. Dodgers winning divisions, Giants not making the playoffs are 2 very big marks against 'dynasty'. Not being favored is another one.

And (not surprisingly) you're offended. :L

I know, right? Because cal is SUPER gay. I am too even though I'm not a native of SF. We just love being gay here so damn much.

No, not gay. Hyper-sensitive.

Never said I was offended. But if I were, what would be wrong with that? Is it wrong to be offended by racial jokes? Religious jokes? Bad jokes?

'Dynasty' is a pretty amorphous term. Sometimes it's obvious, like the late 1990s Yankees...but they won 4 titles in 5 years...3 is pretty close...

Are the late 80s A's a 'dynasty'? Early 70s A's? Are the Yankees (20s-30s, 50s, 90s) the only team that gets to use the term?

Yeah, he (we) aren't being sensitive about it, we're remarking how hacky and trite it is to use that 'zinger' on SF. At least attempt some originality.

Until next week, let's shelf any "dynasty" talk. 3 in 5 is a lot different from 2 in 5. The Cards could claim the throne as well, with 4 straight NLCS appearances, and 7 in 11. How about the Red Sox with 3 championships in 10 years? How about the Braves in the 90s and 00s?

In the NFL, we had the Packers in the 60s, Steelers in the 70s, Niners in the 80s, Cowboys in the 90s and Patriots in the 00s. Would any of those teams stand up to this dynasty discussion? Is there any question that those teams were, in fact, dynasties?
