Congrats to Texas who has never won a WS and the Giants who have never won one in SF and their last win was 56 years ago in NY. Matty and Mugsy must be smiling from above. Fox must be gnashing their teeth

These Giants are not exactly a dynasty in the making. Pitching was spotty, clutch hitting was weak, fielding sometimes bordered on the comical (although it was occasionally brilliant, too). Philly should have killed them; Texas probably will. Anyway, this Giants fan will take whatever the baseball gods have to offer even if there isn't a Matty or a Master Melvin, a Say Hey Kid or even a Will the Thrill amongst them. Go Giants - Humm Baby!

Eh, we have quality pitching, although Sanchez is a headcase, as you saw tonight. Very little hitting and not much defense beyond Torres and Posey. And it's not like the Giants will make Cliff Lee work deep into counts, so he's probably good for 3 games in the series if it goes 7. But, you never know.

And the Giants are fearless. Like the mighty Doberman.

I'm glad the fillies didn't win. I hate the fillies. The last time I rooted for the fillies to win Kennedy was president and there were only 8 N.L. teams.

Glad to see this matchup - even if the rest of the country probably isn't..FOX network and ESPN is probably crying right about now..EasternSPN especially because they don't recognize anything west of the Mississippi.

Giants have been doing this all year...they win ugly.. Rangers knocked off the two best AL teams... sweet!

I don't think FOX will be that upset about having teams from California & Texas with a combined population of almost 65 million people. Which by the way... is DOUBLE the pop of NY & PA.
