Thank you for providing an actual response.
I disagree with the players you are dubbing as "castoffs" with the exception of Burrell who was a straight salary dump by the Rays.
I'm not even talking %@%% about the Giants, if anything I'm giving them some credit by saying these players are better than what the national media perceives them to be.
The question was really posed to actual Giant fans and not the casual/bandwagon fans that are popping out of nowhere. We didn't beat the Phillies, but when the national media perceived us to be Manny and his band of unknown teammates last year (Despite the fact that Manny was suspended and rendered ineffective all year), most of us saw it as East Coast bias and that the national media doesn't really know anyone outside of a Yankee, Phillie and Red Sox uniform.
Just figured you guys would take some pride in your team, instead of this silly story the media is feeding you guys. To each their own though.
Adding Posey to the lineup makes it more potent. Cody Ross has always had pop, along with Burrell. They got some key hits at crucial moments.

Like clockwork, Iron Man shows up and pisses on someone's parade. That's just the pathetic little things that he does so there's no point in actually acknowledging this polluted opinions.
Typical salty Dodger fan, just like the rest of them.
, some people need to take their !!% back to the sidelines.
Guess, whatever I say will be automatically dubbed as the following: "saltiness", "hate", etc.
that being said the giants dont have the bats such as texas and we dont have a star pitcher (Lee) that overshadows the others
Even though dland just provided a disclaimer, this is the $%$% I'm talking about. 'Cause you know, 2 time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum has nothing on Cliff Lee....
