Reasons proclaimed by the ignorant and the nonbelievers (thank filo ;))

1. The Padres gave them the division or else they wouldn't have made it.
2. THE FIX IS ON JAS!!!
3. The Braves defense and bad calls helped them advance.
4. Injuries to the Braves.
5. Brooks Conrad (I know he's a part of the Braves defense, but come on.)
6. The Phillies had bad luck and Ryan Howard had no RBI (and a .318 BA.)
7. The Phillies went into a teamwide slump and Howard with no RBIs.
8. LUCK! FLUKE! STEROIDS! ANTIHUMIDORS! CHEATERS! TRASH!
9. The Rangers somehow went into a teamwide slump.
10. Ron Washington.
11. Vlad's defense (that directly attributed to 0 Giants wins.)
12. Cliff Lee was injured and/or choked.



Reasons I attribute to this championship (add your own if you'd like):

1. They played well down the stretch and had more wins than the Braves too, so they would've won the WC if the Padres played well.
2. The only circumstance where a fix could be in was last year in the playoffs when the Yankees had a bad call go their way to save a run against the Twins on that "foul" ball.
3. They caught a couple of breaks, but so did every team in the first round that capitalized and advanced.
4. For the most part this team has been fortunate with injuries, all of the right guys were healthy at just the right time.
5. They made less errors than their opponents in each playoff series.
6. Pitching pitching and more fucking pitching!!!
7. Discounting their own starters, you could claim that they beat 6 of the 15 best pitchers in the mlb on their way (Latos, Hudson, Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels, and Lee twice.)
8. They were counted out and they were hungry and incredibly resilient.
9. Sabean and Bochy actually are very good at what they do.
10. There was a different hero every night and this is a resilient team that proves that chemistry and clutch hitting do exist.
11. FEAR THE BEARD!
12. As a good luck charm the last time I shaved was the morning of game 1 of the NLDS, you're welcome!
13. I can't help but feel that my nephew is a good luck charm of some sort. When he was born the Giants had just won against the Astros to go 2-0 on the year. He is now by the laws of the universe a hardcore Giants fan for life.
14. They didn't really win and this is all a figment of my imagination.
15. GP properly managing the jinx of his wife.

Historically good pitching. And a few clutch hits. But historically good pitching. Is there any doubt that if Tim lost last night 2-1 that Cain would win game 6 3-0?

And we get to KEEP ALL THE PITCHING!

BAM! Fuck yeah dude. I think the Giants and Phillies will be the teams competing for the NL pennant for each of the next few years.

Also we won because our guys are the most determined and they wanted to see Buster Olney and John Kruk cry on tv.

Other teams won't stand still...Padres may be able to spend a little now...Braves...can't count out the Cards. But we will be in the hunt for a while I agree.

We also won to make Tito cry and smash his Sabean voodoo doll.

Just remember that the Old-Man-Of-The-Staff is Jonathan Sanchez at the ripe old age of 27...

Did Zito fall into the Hot Tub Time Machine?

Zito is officially the guy in the cab following the real players now...

I love that gif, and whoever caught that it was him in the cab.

But c'mon guys, a little harsh on Zito. He was a big reason we won the division, he's the best 5th starter in baseball, and it's not his fault he is getting paid all that $. He's also a good guy, a good clubhouse guy, and a vet for the young pitchers to play with. He will be valuable in 2011.

Agree 100%.

But he is the 5th starter, and does not factor into this teams post-season success in the future except in the case of an injury. Therefore, I stand behind my comment that the Old-Man-Of-The-Staff is Sanchez.

LOL. Didn't need to, because the Phillies crushed them for us. Then we crushed the Phillies.

We didn't have to play Milwaukee in the playoffs either. Or Pittsburgh. Reds are about on that level. Maybe a little better.

Thanks, we're just messin' with you back...

I was actually happy to see the Reds win that division, it'd been too long for them not being in the playoffs, and I like Dusty Baker.

Yea but they were extremely disappointing though, obviously. One of the best N.L. infields during the regular season, then they get into the playoffs and just absolutely look awful. I think the playoff stage was just simply overwhelming for most of them.
But they are young, so hopefully it won't be another 15 years for us Reds fans see them reach the post season again.

Agreed. And should be quite tradeable if we eat half his salary next offseason.
