Postmortem

It's funny how the story of the Series evolved. It started as "the Rangers aren't hitting," then we saw a backlash of "let's give the Giants some credit," then it was "the Giants are a great team...but the Rangers aren't hitting or playing good D, and Ron Washington's managing is substandard."

I'll be interested to see how it keeps evolving now that we can look at the whole thing. In any case, the Giants totally deserve the crown and it's nice to see that team back on top after such a long time. The Rangers still made history for the franchise this year, which is nice to see too.

Funny year for the pool, too, but I had fun, and I hope to see you all back here next year.

Full final standings after the jump; any errors, please let me know. I'll send money out today!

Congratulations, San Francisco (and John)!: SF 3, TEX 1

A half-century championship drought ends for the city by the Bay as the Giants take the Series in five.

Points went as follows:

SF - 18

Cruz, N - 4
Posey, B - 2
Uribe, J - 1

Lee, C - 13
Lincecum, T - 18

Full postmortem and complete standings tomorrow, but John held off the SF onslaught to take the 2010 BPP crown:

John - 256.67

Congrats also to Joe on his worst-to-second rally. Heh.

If my math isn't matching up with yours, let me know via email or in the comments. Again, I'll post full standings tomorrow in case you want to check.

Only 14 weeks 'til pitchers and catchers report!
