Because I haven't really talked about it...
Yes, we could whine and complain that Juan Uribe has left the Giants for the most evil franchise in sports -- the Los Angeles Dodgers. But here are the facts...the guy helped bring us a championship. He had that awesome walk-off sac fly in Game Four of the NLCS, and the key home run in Game Six of the NLCS. Furthermore, because he's left the Giants for the Dodgers, the Giants don't have to be paying him $20MM for the next three years.
In essence, I'm glad he brought us a title, and I'm glad that we don't have to be paying him for the next three years -- while he undoubtedly declines. Forgive me for this blasphemy, but I must say -- I still like the guy. It's hard not to, looking back on the season.
Are we to hate Juan Marichal for ending his career on the Dodgers? (Although, in all fairness, he didn't go straight to the Dodgers, and he only lasted six innings...).
I guess the point is, yes, I hate the Dodgers, but we should be looking back and appreciating all that Uribe did for the Giants, and furthermore, appreciate that he'll be taking a chunk out of the Dodgers payroll for the next few years.
