    There's something to those numbers guys. Different players yet the numbers remain.

    when they won the first, some said fluke
    when they won the second, some said coincidence
    but three in five years... you could argue they were becoming (if not, already) a dynasty
    great manager that gets the most out of his players

    No doubt about it, Bochy is a great manager. He knows the rule book inside and out. Was it Mattingly's first game managing ever when Bochy punked him for turning around and stepping on the mound twice? It seemed so petty and insignificant, but that just shows the big-headed prick is thinking about EVERYTHING he can. He has his players ready for situational hitting in the postseason. Fuck, he single-handedly convinced the league to change a 100-year-old rule so he could put a first-baseman behind the plate.

    Fuck that noise, dynasties don't choke the chicken in odd years.

    I mean, does it really matter?

    They're champs. I doubt they give a fuck what they're thought of as long since they have the trophy.

    my own personal rule..if you don't successfully defend your title and repeat at least once, you're not a dynasty. the Spurs can kiss my ass as well.

    Only fans and sportswriters give a shit about the word dynasty. Players care about paychecks and rings.

    okay, so now we're arguing over semantics
    "they lose in odd years... they didn't defend their title... they lost in 2/5 years... wah, wah, wah, fucken wah!!!"
    this just in...
    we lose every year, we don't have a title to defend and we've lost in 26 straight years... and counting
    you don't want to call them a dynasty, fine, whatever
    i'm sure they'll settle for world series champions... again

    Yeah, but we're consistent!


    Seriously, the Giants are no more a dynasty than I am a jet pilot. You know as well as anyone they got every conceivable break in the playoffs and the WS. How many broken bat hits did they have fall in? A dozen? Any other team and most of those are weak ground outs, but for them they fall in and half the time advance or score runners. Fuck their lucky fkag asses. Dynasty my wrinkled old ass.

    If the Dodgers won 3 WS in 5 years I'd tell everyone that they were a dynasty. :hide:

    well, to be fair, you didn't call the SFaGs a dynasty..you only said the argument could be made that they're becoming one.

    this dynasty thing took on a life of it's own, but your overall point hit the bullseye. 3 titles in 5 years isn't luck. they know WTF they're doing over there.

    Do you get bonus points for being labeled a dynasty? Who cares. They won 3 WS in 5 years....the label for that is irrelevant.

    All of the narratives and such are irrelevant.
