article on Dynasties...SF Giants ? maybe maybe not

The article compares the SF Giants' 3 Championships in five years with some past dynasties and other multi-championship teams including college sports.

BUT - somehow this "writer" failed to mention Torre's Yanks and, last but not least.....the most underrated GREATEST Dynasty (imo) in team sports' history:

The NY Islanders!
4 straight Stanley Cups 1980-83.
Great all-time individual players...and,

...between 1980 and 1984 they won 19 consecutive playoff series, a feat still unparalleled in the history of professional sports.


Makes you wonder...how could this guy forget those two "Dynasties"..I mean, he is writing about Dynasties, and he is getting paid for it...no?
And how can Bleacher Report put this article out there without checking his "work"?

jeez.... Talk about the dumbing down of America. lol

 

Excellent article. And as a Giant fan I'd have to say no on the dynasty because they never really dominated the sport over these last 5 years. Now it would be a little different if they had at least won there division each of the last 5 years, but they've only done that TWICE in the last 5 years. Hell they didn't even make the playoffs in 2013 & finished 10 games under 500.

2010 = 92-70 (1st place & won the world series)
2011 = 86-76 (Finished 2nd 8 games back)
2012 = 94-68 (1st place & won the world series)
2013 = 76-86 (Finished in 3rd place 16 games back & didn't make the playoffs)
2014 = 88-74 (2nd place 6 games back & won the world series)

So as much as I love my Giants, there's no way they could be considered a dynasty. And yeah funny how they left out the 4 WS in 5 years that the Yankees had during the end of the 90s. Maybe Yankee hater Lupica help with that article.

Interesting article and subject but as I asked, how could he leave out Torre's Yanks and those Islanders?

4 straight Stanley Cups 1980-83.
Great all-time individual players...and,

...between 1980 and 1984 they won 19 consecutive playoff series, a feat still unparalleled in the history of professional sports.

 

Seriously leaving out the Islanders dynasty, and moreso Torre's Yankee Years, now that was a modern day dynasty if there ever was one.

At least they got the 36 and on Yanx, and other Yanx dynasties right, but goofed big time on the Yanks of the 90s, and new millennium.

Perhaps the reporter got his journalism degree from a box of Cracker Jacks...?

 

Or like I said Lupica fed him the story.
