Destiny Spits on the Giants

So Peter Happy ends up being the guy who gets the game winning hit in the clincher of the World Series, eh?  That hurts worse than the beartrap that's attached to the canker sore on my tongue.

It is a bit reminiscent of The Polish Catcher Not To Be Named leaving for the White Sox and winning a ring the next year.

Scott Eyre is another former Giant who is dancing after last night.

In other news, Aaron Rowand is punching himself in the nads for following the money to the West Coast, but hopefully this team will take him to the Promised Land at some time in the 37 years left on his contract.

It ain't all bad: Big ups to Bay Area natives Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell (Bellarmine HS) and Brad Lidge (Sacto) for getting their first rings.  All three are solid players and great ambassadors of the Bay Area way to play.

Comment starter: Any other notable Giants who left and went on to win a ring or have huge years immediately thereafter?
