I told my wife SF in 5. Let's see what Peavy does tomorrow.
Royals haven't lost in a month. Let's see how they respond.

Shields has not been great in the postseason.
Few people picked the Giants to win this series. Few people picked them to beat the Tigers and Rangers before.
This team shouldn't have even made it to the playoffs much less the Show. It's all house money at this point...let's see what happens.
Last night they said that the team that won the first game has won 10 of the last 11 WS.
looks like the Royals woke up. 7-2, keep it rolling Royals!!!!!!!
Bochy rolled his weakest BP guys out there and the Royals made them pay for it.
Machi has been an absolute Chunt since before the all star break. Strickland has given up 5 HR in 5 appearances. The experiment should end with this guy who was throwing in Double A a month ago. He may be good at one point, but he's just too unreliable at this point.
I doubt we see Machi again this year. Strickland would only be in an emergency situation.
Bochy has everything setup. He has Hudson starting & Petit ready to go just in case.
Should be an interesting weekend in SF

Petit should be MVP...he basically saved the Giants bacon again when Vogelsong got a wild hair up his nose and melted down.
Even if Giants manage to win Sunday with Bumgarner, they still gotta go back to KC and throw Peavy and possibly Hudson/Vogey/Petit combo
Vogelsong was doing fine. The play where he was way off first was ridiculous.
Petit is great.
Don't forget Lincecum. I have a hunch about him.
Bochy saved Casilla for tomorrow. Yost has no chance vs. Bochy
Not going to be easy but it should be great theatre. I hope Bumgarner continues dominating.

Confirmed by his family, Cardinals' Oscar Taveras has died in car accident he was driving from Sosua to Puerto Plata (DR)

If true, horrible horrible news.
Juan Perez was friends with him. When he rapped the double high off the wall, he tweeted after the game, "that was for you Oscar!"
Tough spot finding out during game 5 of the world series your friend just died. Impressive the way Juan handled it.

Always love a WS Game 7!
(Well, unless the Brewers were in and could take it in 4, 5, or 6.)
Well, I got what I wanted with my opening post.
Nothing better in the sports world, than 7 super bowls in an 8 day span.

More like the Giants suck-ass pitching (outside of Bumgarner and Petit) did what it's been doing all season...getting shelled by good hitting teams.
I said from the get-go, this was the least talented Giants team to ever make the playoffs much less the WS. If you'd told me there'd be a Game 7 10 days ago, I'd have taken it.
There has been 1 close game in this WS...game 3...won by the Royals 3-2. All others have basically been blowouts for both sides.
Same pitching lineup as Game 3 tonight, save, Bumgarner is in the pen and will come in when Hudson falters (not if).
Fun game. Fun series.
Bumgarner simply The Man.
Bumgarner....simply ridiculous!!
Pence & Sandoval....held the team together with their offense. Just enough to win.
Either team could've won.
Pretty amazing the "better team" lost.

Jordy watched his team lose to a dominant performance. Bit different when you have to watch something you want get taken away from the stands.
Jordy is going to be nothing anyone wants to deal with these last 8 games.
Royals are young...they will be a team to contend with for a while. I laugh at Padres fans who couldn't wait until they got Bochy out of town because the Padres lost to the Yankees in the WS. One of the best managers of all time...he consistently takes scrap heap guys and makes the most with the stars they have.
There are so many more talented teams on paper in the NL...Dodgers, Cardinals, Nats...but the Giants just seem to find a way.
I share the sentiment I'm glad baseball season is over. Love it, love my team, but when you are invested in every game, it's a grind.
Hoping the Packers give me the double-dip this year like 2010.
Giants fan. Packer Fan. WTF??? Joe Panik won this game. If he misses that it's 3rd and 1st with no one out. No Madison.
WS parade on Halloween?
Can't Wait! What a fun series. Bumgarner is incredible.
Effin Idots ruining a fun celebration.
With the amount of people on the streets, it's incredible this is all that has happened/
99.9% of the people are simply having fun.
Yes, parade is on Friday, up Market St as usual ending at Civic Center as usual
That was an exciting game 7 and stuff.
World Series Science: don't dive into 1st base. Instant a runner leaves his feet, he slows down. May have cost Royals a run and the game.

Interesting on why the royals did not go for an inside the park home run, in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs down by 1. I think I still would of tried it.
Gordon would've been thrown out by a mile. He was stepping on 3rd about the time Crawford got the ball. Would've been interesting to see game 7 of the world series end on a play at the plate.
“Bumgarner’s a great starting pitcher,” Royals Manager Ned Yost said before the game, almost as a challenge. “We’ll see what kind of reliever he is.”
YOSTED!!
