Default AGAIN? Wild Card VS. Wild Card?

Giants vs. Royals? I'd love that!


Way to go Huddie!

That's been my hope since the beginning. My wife is from KS and I've made a lot of friends (and in laws) out there, so 100% happy for them.

Meanwhile, Giants defy all "on paper" expectations, stats, etc and manage continue to give themselves a chance to win and often win late.

Fittingly the prelude to the potential SF KC battle is Sundsy.. And, even though rooting for Niners, would 100% happy for Alex (a true class act) if he's able to win in return home.

ADDING-- again, had hunch Huddy had something left for this. Love the mix of core Giants (Posey, Bum, Panda, Belt), young guys (Panik, Susac, Strickland), and aging vets giving it maybe one last go (Peavy, Huddy, Vogey). I love it when the old guys step up in those fleeting/final opportunities.

The Giants have mediocre hitting, injuries to older players, and experienced long and depressing long streaks during the season. They are really only good at one thing: winning in the post season.

What an amazing game they played last night. GO GIANTS!

Indeed!

Took this pic from my hotel in Boulder last Wed night before the Wild Card game. This "Torture" shirt from 2010 has been my lucky charm during the postseasons. Have worn it to all postseason games attended (6-1 record so far) and again tonight.

He's no surprise - one pitch away from a perfecto last year and set the MLB record for consecutive batters retired this year.

He was pretty awful for his first few years in the majors and ended up playing a year in the Mexican League. He seems to have turned it around. Strikeout to walk ratio this year of over 6, wow.

I've had my "lucky shirt" on for all three games so far. It did the trick in 2012. We're pathetic.

(the shirt is in the wash, as we speak)
