The President took a break from national debt talks to congratulate the team, who despite winning the World Series in 1954 did not visit President Dwight Eisenhower because it was before the tradition started.

Obama poked fun at Giants Tim Lincecum saying, “America learned sometimes it’s a good idea to bet on the skinny guy,” and telling Brian Wilson he “feared the beard.”

The President told the crowd of almost 200 people, which included prominent guests House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “So even though this team is a little different, even though these players haven’t always followed the traditional rules, one thing they know is how to win.”

One person not in attendance was the Machine, who apparently couldn’t clear Secret Service!

According to the LA Times, Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Sanford Rosenberg said the victim was one of three Giants fans attacked in the parking lot around the end of the game by two unidentified men wearing Dodgers clothing.

The unprovoked attack occurred about 8:30 p.m. in Parking Lot 2 when two men in Dodgers clothing approached three victims in Giants apparel, police said.

The men then attacked the trio, kicking and punching them and shouting expletives about the Giants as they delivered the blows, Rosenberg said. The attack left one victim hospitalized in critical but stable condition, Rosenberg said.

The Giants-Dodgers feud is one of the longest rivalries in sports history, dating back all the way to when both teams were in New York. This offseason, a group of Giants fans raised money to fly a banner over Dodgers Stadium reminding their rivals of their World Series win. Despite the incident, there were less arrests this year than last year’s Opening Day.

I just hope Brian Wilson’s “Machine” is cast on the show….

The San Francisco Giants are the World Series Champions, and to celebrate Jay Leno had Giants closer Brian Wilson on the Tonight Show. Throughout the season, Wilson has made references to a mysterious “friend” who wears a dominatrix mask and appears in various interviews. The Machine made a cameo on Leno yesterday. Wilson’s no hold bars personality has created quite the cult following, so much so that Giants fans have created a Facebook fan page called “Brian Wilson Should Host SNL.”

The page already has more than 15,000 fans! The fan page is also calling for the Machine to make an appearance as well. America was first introduced to the Machine back in August during this interview….

The parade will start at 11am Pacific time, with record crowds expected since fans started lining up before dawn.

The San Francisco Giants are up two games to one against the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series. In an attempt to rally their team and fans, the Giants have adopted Journey’s song “Don’t Stop Believing” as their playoff anthem. The Giants are not the first sports team to claim the song as their own…. among other baseball teams in the past include the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox. Being from Detroit, I take extreme offense to team’s who think it is “their” song, considering the song was written in Detroit and even references the city in the song. Even putting my ultimate sports pet peeve aside, the song is out of control corny. The question remains… what are some of your sports pet peeves?
