Monday afternoon post-lunch distraction alert: Your San Francisco Giants are currently enjoying their off day at the White House Rose Garden where President Obama is scheduled to honor the World Championship baseball team at 1 p.m. PST. more ›

Since a trophy, a parade, diamond-encrusted Tiffany rings, permanent ink in the history books, new signage, a reality show, and multi-million dollar salaries aren't nearly enough, AT&T Park now has plans to create a permanent walkway to commemorate the Giants' 2010 World Series win. SF Appeal reports: "The walkway will encircle all four plazas of AT&T Park and contain granite markers that will highlight epic moments of the 52-year journey...The walk will also include brick pavers that fans can purchase to mark their own memories of the team's history." The brick pavers will run anywhere between $225 to $475, "depending on location." more ›

Late Monday, NBC San Diego and NBC Bay Area posted an alleged prototype of the Giants World Series ring. Both articles have since been yanked from both sites. Via the magic of cache, here's what remains: "[F]amous Tiffany's &Co. has prototyped the Giants' World Series ring, with team management set to soon review it. Details are still coming in, but when we know the jewel count and the underlying thoughts behind the specifics of the ring." more ›

At San Francisco City Hall this afternoon, you can check out the World Series trophy from 1 - 3 p.m. What's more, the Giants will also "make a major announcement" of some sort during that time frame. Exciting, yes? Yes. Anyway, you can check out the trophy on the main floor of City Hall, 1 Dr Carlton B Goodlett Place. (Psst, if you can't make it, the trophy will make scheduled appearances throughout the Bay Area over the next few months.) more ›

Warning: This video might act as a buzzkill for many elite San Franciscans who like their idols self-consciously ungodly and ungodly hip. (Shield your eyes and ears, 826 Valencia!) During a 2009 fellowship meeting with Giants teammates, Brian Wilson explains his end-of-game arm-cross salute. (Hint: It's about Jesus.) more ›

What? Did you really think a day would go by without Brian Wilson appearing on SFist? Perish the thought! Wilson, as many of you know by know, consumes us. Deeply. Complicatedly. Profoundly. more ›

For those of you just tuning in, Giants Brian Wilson gave what could possibly be the greatest victory speech, ever. It was simple, smart, and featured this now iconic gem: "I have three words... Where's the machine?" more ›

Giants World Series parade photos. Way to go, Giants! more ›

We can't think of any person in San Francisco right now as famous as Brian Wilson. (Except, of course, for another Giant.) That being said, here's a delightful Wilson sighting sent to us by Liz Einbinder, a friend of SFist. more ›

After last night's non-riots, a total of six people were pinched by the fuzz for displaying too much excitement after the Giants' World Series win. SFPD Lt. Lyn Tomioka, according to BCN/CBS 5, said that "at least six people were arrested when celebrations turned rowdy, one patrol car was damaged and a police officer suffered a minor cut and needed stitches." She went on to say, “Everyone was very happy last night, and even happy people sometimes need a police presence." [CBS 5] more ›

Via M.A.: I wonder if all the people that lit mattresses on fire last night are performing their civic duties today. more ›

This morning at around 3:30 a.m., the S.F. Giants' bus arrived at AT&T Park with a slew of World Series champs spilling onto King Street eager to greet fans. Hundreds of Giants sect members waiting behind barricades "exploded into cheers when Giants managing partner Bill Neukom carried the trophy off the team bus." more ›

After last night's World Series win and subsequent "riot"-y aftermath -- which saw civil unrest affect both the Mission and Mission Bay neighborhoods -- many locals went wild with Twitter updates, using the police scanner as source material. Yarns about Muni takeovers, fires, and various beatings almost marred the evening's massive victory. more ›

No, not for what you're thinking. According to TMZ, Barry Bonds "was pulled over in his Silver Lexus last night around 10:00 PM -- and cited for talking on his cell phone while driving, a violation that will set him back roughly $125." A small price to pay for such a glorious win, we think. more ›

Here are the first photos out of the big World Series win, in which the Giants prevailed in their first World Series since 1954, and their first ever since moving to San Francisco. Everyone in the city is still screaming and drinking and high-fiving each other, and so far we haven't heard about anyone or anything hurt or broken. It is, all in all, a happy place tonight. more ›

While every headline in the city tells us "One More Win" (including SFist), we should try not jinxing anything. Not to be pessimistic -- because we want the gods to know that we've learned as a city, as a team, as a people -- but the 2**2 W**ld Se*Ies still lingers in the dark corners of our psyche. While we're optimistic about the Giants winning the championship, we want to proceed with caution. more ›

SF Citizen informs us that Game 5 of the World Series will be broadcast live on the jumbotron at Civic Center Plaza on Monday afternoon. Fox has given their official permission for the screening, since it could be a clincher. (It is on!!) more ›

The Giants won Game 4 of the Word Series in another shutout game. Madison Bumgarner -- described swimmingly by McCovey Chronicles as "a 21-year-old rookie made of one part grizzled veteran, one part emotionless sociopath, and five parts amazing" -- pitched an excellent game. more ›

Now, let's forget about yesterday's loss -- you didn't think the Giants would sweep, did you? -- and focus on Game 4. Feel free to discuss the game, Nolan Ryan's rapid aging process, Bush I & II, the Giants, the Rangers, Dallas, Dallas, or whatever strikes your fancy. more ›

Photographer Generik11 (Erik) attended last night's victorious World Series Game 2, snapping these images of fans and scenery along the way. Enjoy. more ›

We all had a good laugh at the reporter from Texas who discovered "there's some people smokin' weed!" near McCovey Cove before the World Series, but it wouldn't be a hilarious stereotype if it weren't at least partially true. more ›

The Giants are heading to Texas this morning with a 2-0 lead in the World Series after pummeling the Rangers in Game 2, 9-0. The Chronicle's Gwen Knapp sums up last night's carnage: "The excruciating tension of a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning. Masterful pitching from their starter, the imperturbable Cain. Another hearty helping of Juan Uribe. And, finally, an explosive finish from the team that turned scalding in September, for a 9-0 win over the Rangers." more ›
