Great series, despite the average margin of victory in the first six games being 5-6 runs. Nice story lines with the presence of a team after a 29 year absence. I was rooting for the Royals as I did briefly follow them in the mid to late 80s when I was in the midwest, though I have no real reason to root against the Giants. As a Mariner fan I can appreciate a team that has been out of it for so long, or in the case of the Ms, never to have made the WS yet. I was really hoping for a competitive and entertaining WS, and that is what we got, especially for the finale.
@analogkid:
Had it been any team besides the Giants or Nationals, I would have rooted for the Royals too, but I will always have to root for the Giants. Both teams played great, and it could have gone either way. KC was definitely a class act.
Now, if the Giants ever face the Astros in the world series (maybe 2016?) I would have to go for the Astros because they have never won a World Series, and the Giants are already the team of the decade. It would be tough, but in the end, I would be happy either way. It would mean so much more to Houston, since San Francisco has already had so much glory, and, I would hope, that we wouldn't burn our city down!
The Astros play the Giants next year, that's going to be tough, I think I am just going to have to go in totally neutral and not wear any Astros or Giants gear and just sit back and enjoy the games. It's nice to have both a National League team to root for, and an American League team, the likelihood of both teams meeting up for a World Series would be very slim, but would be pretty awesome.
