The 2010 Giants were Torture. The 2012, as several people commented, were about redemption.
Barry Zito, left off the 2010 roster entirely - winning key games to get them there, and decisively winning game 1. Pablo Sandoval, benched in 2010 for poor play, hitting .500, bashing three straight home runs, and collecting the MVP trophy. Vogelsong emerging from the wilderness. Scutaro and Pence coming in late-season trades and firing up with their play and passion. Theriot, who lost his job in the Scutaro trade, scoring the winning run in the 10th... on Scutaro's single. Lincecum, who was by some measures the worst starting pitcher in the majors this year, emerging as a lights-out middle reliever.

Leyland, that was a classy post-game press conference. Good on ya.

I hadn't planned on going to the Wednesday parade, but the wife didn't go in 2010 and wants to this year. It's more fun with someone else along.
