And of course another Royals castoff is now good enough to start for a WS team but was nothing in KC... Gregor Blanco.

Get Douchezinski off my TV

THIS is what makes the Giants team and the one two years ago so special. I gotta say they have taken it up quite a few notches if they pull this one out.

You are not making any coin with that take.

Suffice to say, if I was going to bet on a sport, it wouldn't be playoff baseball. Way too random.

Oh I am feeling pretty good about the Giants chances right now. That said I wouldn't bet the ranch. What an exciting team to watch.

They want it more then any other team this year. Its amazing to watch, this coming from a Dodger fan. Im a little bit ok alot envious. haha

That means a lot coming from a Dodgers fan.

As much as i hate the Giants, you have to give credit where credit is due. They are just on a different level then everyone else since the break. Wll, the A's, but they were still to young, maybe in a year or 2.

Actually I would say that SF had the better rotation while Detroit had the better bats. SF has been lighting up the scoreboard the past few games though. Also much like in football, rest can be an enemy as much as it is an ally. If you are hot, last thing you want is time off. This is what is hurting the Tigers right now.

I was in SF today visiting clients. I had some time to drive over to Pac Bell Park. I was able to ilegally park right in front of the stadium just before noon.

Even though I am a Dodger fan I support my daughters bad Giants habit because at least she is watching sports.

I walked by 6 vendor tents and 1 had WS t shirts. He wasnt open anddirected me to the Giants merchandise store. They told me that the WS gear wouldn't arrive for another hour.

They had plenty of NLCS Champ gear but no WS gear.

I went back to the 1 tent who had the 1 box of WS T shirts and talked the guy into selling me a tshirt for $40. I thought I got taken advantage of.

On the plane ride home I spoke with the gal who had the game on her ipad mid flight who told me she was at the dugout store an hour after me, when they limited everyone outside to 1 person every 2 minutes.

She said she flirted her way to an hour wait to buy shot glasses, polo shirts, hats, wavey towels...but no t shirts. Apparently, I stumbled upon the only box of tshirts in China Basin!!!!

It killed me as a Dodger fan to drop $40 on Giants gear but when my daughter was given her gift her smile was well worth it!

Baseball gets a lot of shit for not having different teams win, but while that may be true on average during the regular season, anything can happen in the playoffs. Quite the opposite in the NFL on average. SB teams are easier to predict than WS ones.

Also, it has been mentioned a lot recently by FOX, but that S.F. crowd is into their games. Damn, just everything about it. They sing all the songs and go crazy from the start. Old Yankee Stadium used to be like that, loud from the 0-2 count of the first batter on. Now its so expensive its just all suits who don't even show up on time.

And yet like five days ago people assumed the Giants were down and out and that the Cardinals were on their way to another WS. How quickly it can change.

heh, Melky Cabrera was the guy who gave the Giants the Homefield this series.

Game 2 underway.
