Yes, In Their House!

The end of the 2012 World Series has to be the most silent in baseball history. Comerica Park was in a wave of shocked silence as the San Francisco Giants threw their gloves in the air and jumped into each other's arms in celebration. Tigers' fans sat in their seats, staring in disbelief at the field, their players standing or sitting in the dugout looking dejected and almost broken.
 

The San Francisco Giants became the 2012 World Series Champions last night. How did that happen?

They swept the Detroit Tigers in a whopping four games to zip show of perfection; That's how.

The Giants were fighting for their lives after repeatedly coming back from the brink of elimination more times than anyone care to count during this one post season. They knew better than anyone else, going into these final few games of October play that they were the underdogs, that they were the ones most, except the Black and Orange Crew of San Francisco, has given up on them. It was all about the Tigers going into the final games.

It seems unreal the Detroit Tigers would fall apart the way they did as they swept the Yankess in the same fashion to get into the World Series and they were coming off three days of rest. The Giants came together as a team with great pitching, on point defence and well placed hits.



At one point, the Tigers showed some glimmer of home as their bats seemed to be coming alive with a Miguel Cabrera two run homer over the right field wall. That didn't last long as the Giant's Buster Posey answered with a home run of his own in the sixth to put the Giants up 3-2. The Tigers responded with Delmon Young who tied them up once more.

Extra innings.

Going into the tenth the winds were picking up, the rain left a icy-chill over Comerica Park. Still, the Giants battled on. Ryan Theriot led off the 10th with a single against the Tiger's Phil Coke. This was followed by an unselfish sac fly by Brandon Crawford to advance Theriot and a mega, shallow single by the NLCS MVP Marco Scutaro to score Theriot.  This to some showcased the best of baseball, the best of a team of guys playing smart baseball to push each other to the euphoria of a championship win.

Sergei Romo was pristine in keeping the Giants' 4-3 lead and was quite effective in shutting the door on the dying Tigers by striking out Miguel Cabrera and doing the Gangam Style.
