Baseball Season Is Coming To An End

[Steve Williams]

Well unless the Giants win the next 3 against the Cards we will see the Cards once again in the WS. I am amazed how Tony LaRussa gets his wild card team to peak at the right time

'Cept Tony retired and Mike Matheny is their manager He definitely deserves a lot of credit esp. with Pujols leaving. Think Pujols regrets that decision as he sits home watching the playoffs on TV?

shows how much I follow the Cards except at this time of year and last year

 

[Gregadd]

What happened to "good pitching beats good hitting." I did see a lot of belt high fastballs across the plate.

 

[Bruce B]

Yeah well at least I'm not a Mariners fan. Our team was in the playoffs.

Hey.... the Mariners are the best AAA farm team in the Majors!!

 

[MylesBAstor]

Seattle Pilots you say?

 

[Bruce B]

Seattle Pilots you say?

Hell, the Rainers could be better!

 

[audioguy]

Hey.... the Mariners are the best AAA farm team in the Majors!!

Or at least Florida !

 

[Gregadd]

it's a one game series now.

 

[Steve Williams]

Can the Giants win two b ack to back series in which they've been done 3-1

If they beat the Cards I feel they will have the momentum to beat the Tigers

Beg to differ Steve

The Giants rotation is shot having gone to a game 7 (and all arms are on deck in 7) while Detroit has been sitting by, giving their starters a couple of days of rest and lining up their pitching rotation. In addition, the Tigers will be able to if needed, start Verlander 3 times. He is quite possibly the best pitcher in BB today.

Then again were the Yankees that bad or Detroit that good? The Tiger with Cabrera and Fielder have quite possibly the best 3-4 hitters in the leagues (s).

one game at a time, and the giants need only one more game to advance to the WS. baseball is an unpredictable game, and i've seen highly favored teams stymied by the underdogs in the WS. rooting for the giants for another WS crown. wish i were there in the city this time.

we shall see won't we Myles. They have to win Game 7 first and if they do you can't tell me that they aren't special to come back and win 2 series that they were down 3-1

 

[jadis]

SF going to the WS again. The bats are hot, and that is a good sign.

 

[Gregadd]

Congrats Giants!

well Myles, we shall see.

The Giants and the city are energized. And their rotation looked damn good to me in the game last night. They are peaking at just the right time and FWIW, many times too much rest results in just a little rustiness.

So Myles, tell me how many games the Tigers are going to need to beat the Giants and win the WS

 

[Gregadd]

4???
The announcer pointed out the Giants pitching rotation is upside down.

so Gregg are you saying the Tigers sweep the Giants in 4.

FWIW, the Giants starter hasn't been named yet

 

[Gregadd]

Sorry Steve I was making a joke. The winner will need four games.

The Giants are spent from having to win three games in a row.Detroit is a position to have their ace pitch three games. The Giants are not. I assume Giants ace was on the mound last night.

I picked St. Louis to win game 7. Shois what i know.

It should be a great series. I hope it goes to seven.

As an aside to the more on topic discussion here, did anyone else beside me appreciate that 3000 fps camera? To put this into perspective, and IIRC, movies and video usually are shot at either 24 fps or 30 fps. The shots were absolutely stunning. Romo's exuberant smile and relief after the final out, individual rain drops falling, Pence's swing on his double where his bat strikes the ball 3 times, and any number of other super, super slo-mo replays were just fascinating.
