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. Last edited by Anthony S.; 10-24-2010 at 02:26 AM.

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!

Watching "Sarge" Matthews read the Phillies lineup last night reminded me of the first year I remember attending Giants games, 1974 (two years after Mays was traded -- dammit). I was six (I didn't get my driver's license until I was 5 and a half). We had Gary Matthews in left, Garry Maddox in center, and Bobby Bonds (the even dickier Bonds) in right. Within a year Maddox was a Philly -- the Giants traded him because they were concerned about his defense -- seriously (he won 8 consecutive Gold Gloves with the Phillies), and Matthews joined him in Philadelphia five or six years later. Anyway, all of this reminded me of the great Ralph Kiner quote about Garry Maddox:
"Two-thirds of earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Garry Maddox." Last edited by Anthony S.; 10-24-2010 at 03:34 AM.

I've been a Giants fan since 1962 with nothing to show for it. Could this be the year? I think their starting pitching is about as good as one could hope for, and their bullpen seems to get the job done for the most part. Their starting line up- well, I don't know what to say about that. They average about four hits a game so it's tough to find much there. But they win.
Giants in six.

Texas- San Francisco is certainly not the match up the network wanted. But if they can play some great baseball the viewers will tune in.
