Last night, the Giants defeated the Tigers 4-3 in Game 4 of the World Series, meaning that they officially won the championship. The game went into extra innings, but the Giants managed to complete the sweep to win their seventh World Series title in franchise history.In the top of the 10th inning, Marco Scutaro singled home Ryan Theriot to take the lead. Sergio Romo went on to strike out Miguel Cabrera looking to finish the game, and ultimately, the season.
Analysis: The Giants had an excellent season, and I honestly thought they didn't have a chance to even make the playoffs. Think of it this way, the overcame SO MANY obstacles throughout the 2012 season. First off, they lost All-Star closer Brian Wilson due to Tommy John surgery, then they lost Kung Fu Panda for quite a bit of time. Then Melky Cabrera got suspended for using PED's and many of us, including myself, thought that San Francisco didn't even have enough offense to win the wild-card. GM Brian Sabean went out and acquired Hunter Pence and Marco Scutaro, who went on to be huge additions for the club. Also, it is worth mentioning that Tim Lincecum had a horrible year, and the rotation nevertheless managed to stay afloat. Barry Zito and Ryan Vogelsong stepped up in the post-season, and Matt Cain, is well, Matt Cain. Anyway it is worth mentioning about the Tigers also. They also had a great season and I believed that they weren't going to make the playoffs. However, they really put on their A game in the second half and made a playoff push that I believe Tigers fans can be proud of.
