It had to end this way, right? A see-saw game, extra-innings, torture, and Marco Scutaro bringing in the winning run with yet another clutch hit. Of course you needed things to be finished off by a wacky bearded closer (Sergio Romo this time) facing the AL Triple Crown winner and probable MVP, Miguel Cabrera.

Struck him out looking. Giants take the World Series in four straight games. Second World Series title in three years. That's the best thing about this win; it shows that 2010 wasn't a fluke. The Giants are a team that will find a way to win, and will never give up. A different hero every day. Stellar pitching. Incredible defense. Hits when we needed them, and scratching out every run.

Pablo "Kung Fu Panda" Sandoval was the easy choice for Series MVP. He only hit .500 in four games, along with tying Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, and Albert Pujols by hitting three home runs in Game 1. He is the only player ever to get those three homers in first three at-bats in the Series.

The parade is Wednesday. We're so going to be there. Anyone else up for meeting along Market Street somewhere? I'll be the guy in the Giants hat. :)

Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2012 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS!!!!!

Edit: Almost forgot. I called my mom last night after we had finished yelling and dancing here, and learned I was the second person to call about the game. The Emergency Back-Up Niece had called right after the final out to exclaim "They won!" Then she asked if this meant they were the best.

Yes, Kylie, that's exactly what it means.
