51 years in San Francisco and the Giants still haven't produced a World Championship.

[trumad]

What is it about that city that keeps the Giants baseball team from accomplishing that goal?

Complacent fans perhaps?

1. Hey genius

the Giants have been in SF 55 years, not "51"

:rofl:

[trumad]

5. 1958

My math was quick and I came up with 51. Better than 55 though....

[trumad]

4. Hey Genius---nice try

Douching in on another city's accomplishments.

51 fucking years and you losers haven't won a world series.... Fucking losers dude.

[Upton]

6. Its all part of the Giants organization

doesn't matter whether it was NY or SF...they're still 5 time World Champions.

Look at it this way, at least your Marlins are three time reigning champions for the worst attendance in MLB...now that's more than complacent, that's just plain apathetic.

[trumad]

9. 51 years and your city has not had a MLB World Champion.

Why is that?

[Upton]

14. It's just one of those things

the baseball gods have not been with them. However, the 49ers have made up for it..meaning San Francisco has 5 world championships, while Miami has only had 4.

[Onceuponalife]

15. I know why...

that had to contend with the Dodgers all those years. 'Nuff said.

[trumad]

22. Not talking about the the fucking 49ers...

I'm talking about your losing team not being able to deliver a WS to the city of Frisco.

You blame the Gods? Too funny.

[madinmaryland]

17. 55 years, douche!

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

16. Hey Genius. The SAN FRANCISCO (baseball) GIANT have NEVER

won a World Series Championship.

DISGRACEFUL

2. You're as big a shit-stirrer here as anyone else

edited because of wine

[El Supremo]

8. Foreget the Frisco angle...

Only the Cubs an Indians have gone longer without a championship.

Good company!

[Auggie]

18. That's nothing. Cleveland has gone longer without a championship

than anyone, I believe. Cubs fans had Michael Jordan and the Bulls. The Bears in 1985.

A great post from HughBeaumont a few months ago:

7. No one can talk except for me

Arizona Cardinals 62 years without a championship and I personally believe they should give their 1925 championship to Pottsville, Pa.

Colorado Rockies 0 Championships

Arizona State 0 Football/Basketball Championships

Phoenix Suns 0 Championships

[El Supremo]

10. What about the Texas Rangers?

And there are some others.

Don't pick on the Rockies!

[JonLP24]

11. Those are teams that I root for

I was just trying to make a point to the OP bashing those who support teams with lack of championships which I do. Rockies fan here as well. :hi:

[trumad]

12. Difference is---you're not a Douche.

[JonLP24]

13. lol... ok

That makes me feel better. :)

[madinmaryland]

19. Kicked for the Twins.

And it has been 55 years.

[Onceuponalife]

20. 55 years. That's just pathetic.

I thought 21 years was a long time for the Dodgers since they last won it all, but 55 years...MAN!

[cboy4]

21. Wouldn't it be poetic justice if the Dodgers made it to the World Series

(that will take a miracle) and they lose because they don't have home field advantage?

And why wouldn't the Dodgers have home field advantage Onceuponalife?

Is it because Billingsley blew the save?

Yet another reason to hate the Dodgers.

[Onceuponalife]

23. Yeah, he really was sent in as the closer in the 5th inning

You are such a dumbass you don't even know the blown save stat is meaningless when applied in this manner? You are such a dumbass, you make it too easy. Trumad and Madman must be orgasming every time you give them an opening to nail your dumb ass. If answering your stupid posts were a job, those two would be set for life.

[trotsky]

24. Speaking of Twins...

Even the small-market Minnesota Twins have TWO World Series Championships in that timeframe. Odd that Frisco couldn't at least match that feat.

[JonLP24]

25. Trumad I'm sure you will enjoy reading this

Even for a Marlins fan you have to admit Kerry Wood was a beast in his prime. 20 K's, 1 hit shutout as a 20 year old rookie.

2003 National League Championship Series

The two teams were victorious in the NL Division Series (NLDS), with the Cubs defeating the Eastern Division champion Atlanta Braves 3 games to 2, and the Marlins defeating the Western Division champion San Francisco Giants 3 games to 1.

The series is most remembered for events that unfolded in the top of the eighth inning of Game 6. Coming into the game, the Cubs had taken 2 out of the 3 games in Miami, with the final two games at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Cubs also had their best two pitchers, Mark Prior and Kerry Wood, slated to start the final two games. With the Cubs leading 3-0 and just five outs away from their first World Series since 1945, Steve Bartman, a fan, reached for a foul ball hit by Luis Castillo off Prior, preventing Cub outfielder Moisés Alou from catching it. Castillo proceeded to walk and Prior and the Cubs never recovered from the incident. Aided by Castillo's walk and later an error by Cubs shortstop Alex Gonzalez on a potential double-play grounder, the Marlins went on to score eight runs in the inning and won the game 8-3. The Marlins went on to win Game 7 and then to defeat the New York Yankees in the World Series.

Chicago manager Dusty Baker, who won the NL pennant in 2002 with the San Francisco Giants, fell short in his bid to become the first manager ever to take different teams to the World Series in consecutive years.
