Unless you live in Cali, and are surrounded by tons of Giants fans, i can get it.
Even still, i'd pull for SF.
Dont really have any hateable players on their team.

Nats, like us have a 1-yr window to win it all.
Assload of players to re-sign soon: Jordan Zimmerman, Fister, Storen, Clippard, Span, Desmond to name a few.
Although at least we have some of our guys locked up for awhile: Simmons, Julio, Kimbrel and Freeman. And hopefully one of Justin or Jason.

I figure they do that but LaRoche had a great year and gave them LH power which other than Harper they didnt have.
They do have money but it sounds like they can only keep one of Desmond or JZ. Desmond turned down an extension last offseason, and JZ will command huge dollars the way he's been pitching the last 3+ years.
But thats still alot of key players up.
I'm not saying they'll be cellar dwellars by any means, obviously they'll still be really good but some tough decisions to make.

Similar stuff i said.
Again, not sayin they'll suck but it is somewhat closing.
They'll win the division by default next year but it's probably their best shot with the core they have.

Just like they won the division in 2012 right? October 2014 Is A Little Early To Be Conceding The division.

2013 you mean.
And please, our team is flawed as hell.
Washington brings back most of it's team next year minus maybe LaRoche/Soriano.
Barring something unexpected, we're in the WC race.

Just like they seriously underperformed/had injuries in 2012, who's to say that doesn't happen again?

Same here but good point. Bochy is my favorite manager and the Giants are a team full of likeable players including former Braves like Huddy.

That didn't answer my question about 2013, they seriously underperformed and weren't able to recover.

Don't forget after they knocked us out of the NLDS in what ended up being Bobby Cox's last game, Bochy and the team took a minute to salute Bobby on the field before celebrating. That was classy.
CyYoung31
Shift Leader
I also remember Lincecum yelling and cursing out our fans. He's a douche also. But, I guess he's inconsequential now.

That he did, and he is very unlikeable, but his role on this current team is very minimal.
yeezus

I have nothing against either of the NLCS teams. I respect both orgs. a ton because of what they've been able to do. They seem to have a concrete philosophy throughout that consistently works. They may have both been a little lucky in the past but it's much more than that.
