2010 World Series: Rangers vs. Giants

[nebboy]

Ill go with Lincecum over Lee and the batsin game one.
After that ???????????

I kind of like to hear some of the stupid things McCarver says
--DITO--

Giants win in six. Pitching almost always prevails in the post-season. Besides Lee, I'm not a believer in the Texas staff.

[tbob]

On a side note, everyone's favorite dunderhead Bud Selig announced today that there were not enough teams in the playoffs and wants to have 2 maybe 4 more added in 2012. Geez, the guy has been horrible and his used car salesman mentality (no offense to car salesmen on the board) shows a real inane attitude toward the history of the game. He doesn't want to trim the season back to 154 games but wants best of 7 series in the LDS. I guess they'll be playing almost to Thanksgiving. Can you imagine if Minnesota and Colorado make the WS in 2012. BRRRRRRRR.
Hey Selig, your ineptitude is showing once again. Please retire and do us all a favor.

$15/mil a year to not rock the boat, keep on the traditional course and shun changes...stay within 4-5 bonehead decisions a year...no one would walk away from that job.

[Rickyy]

I want the Giants to win...just like Mad Dog Russo

I am going w/ the Rangers in 5 games.

[mybuddyinc]

Gott'a go with SF.

This is the very first time I have ever favored a NL team (other than the Phils) in my entire life !!!

[fkw]

Some simple fact that many overlook on Giants and Rangers

Giants hit 21 more extra base hits than Rangers did this year (16 more doubles, 5 more triples, and the same HRs)

They did this playing home games in a pitchers ball park while the Rangers hit in a hitters ball park

They did this with No DH and their pitchers batting roughly 10% of the time.

They did this w/o Burrell, Posey, Ross, Guillen, etc, fora good % of the season.

If you reduce the Rangers to a NL team by removing their DH stats (57 Extra base hits, .300 average), then the Giants will have a team batting average very close to what the Rangers had, but the Giants would hit over 75 more extra base hits, and a far higher slugging %

And they call SF "The Hitless Wonders" haha

PS also take in the fact that the Giants pitching staff in last 8-9 weeks have put up numbers that rival some of the best in Baseballs History.

Underdog? .... I love it!

[Anthony S.]

Wow. Good stuff, Frank. Never would have guessed it.

[David R]

Here was Lincecum's post-game reaction to that rundown play in the first inning:

"I had a little bit of a brain fart there," Lincecum admitted afterward.

[Anthony S.]

A friend just forwarded this to me. Safe to say the Giants have more than their fair share of prankster/free spirits on this team.

* apparently, "the machine" is Pat Burrell.

Sf in 6

[tedzan]

The ghost of Horace Stoneham's "regrets" will continue to haunt the Giants. They should have never left Coogan's Bluff (NYC).

Besides, wherever Cliff Lee goes, success follows him.

The absolute worst part of this series for me will be having to listen to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck.

You can tune into KNBR 680 to get krukow, kuiper and dave fleming calling the game. Just turn the volume on your TV all the way down.

[nolemmings]

Pitching beats hitting. SF in 6. I root for the A.L. though (unless Boston is in).

[rdixon1208]

Giants in 6.

Lincecum will add a WS MVP to his 2 CY awards.
