Take it easy Giants fans
San Francisco and Edgar Renteria topped the Texas Rangers 3-1 in Game 5 to clinch the World Series title last night. It was the first in for the franchise since 1954, and the team’s first since they moved from New York.
It was a fitting end, I guess, and baseball more and more is becoming the sport decided by the team that is playing the best during the last four weeks. Maybe that’s how it should be, but it really devalues the regular season, especially with Bud Selig and the baseball powers that be talking about expanding the playoffs.
It may open the World Series up to whichever team that’s playing the best after Labor Day. And that could be anybody – anybody except the Pirates of course.
