On this day in 2010, the Giants won the World Series
They defeated the Texas Rangers 3-1 in Game 5, with Tim Lincecum striking out 10 over eight innings and Édgar Rentería hitting a three-run homer. It was the franchise’s first World Series title since moving to San Francisco in 1958.
@Roto_Frank@CPTowers@FBTpod I know this isn’t helpful but the pod is basically perfect. Your banter, games, and inside jokes are amazing. I look forward to listening every weekday. Keep up the amazing job, gentlemen.
Obviously this all makes sense but to read that DiMaggio only faced 7 teams and only played in 9 different stadiums over 13 seasons is pretty brain breaking.
I think that Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is pointless and stupid.
Wanna know what else I think is dumb?
The fact left-wingers are triggered about this after they spent the last decade plus renaming sports teams, public schools and universities, streets and highways, food and condiment brands, and redefining half the dictionary altogether.

Time for the Hall of Fame to evolve and induct Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper together. C’mon. Take a page from the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and honor one of the best shows in MLB history.
San Francisco Giants announcer Mike Krukow will retire after this season, ending a 36-year career in which he and he best friend and former teammate, Duane Kuiper, formed one of the best broadcasting duos in baseball. For generations of Giants fans, Kruk is their voice of summer.
I was offered Logan Webb and Brice Turang for my Jazz Chisholm, Josh Hader, and Sandy Alcantara. What are your thoughts? 10-team head to head categories redraft league. I also have O’Brien, Chapman, and Sewald on my team. @Roto_Frank@CBSScottWhite
