Let's talk about the San Francisco Giants.

The Giants as mentioned don't run. They don't have a lot of power, but they have guys who are good at putting rallies together.

Their pen is deep.

Not as dominant as the Royals 7th, 8th, and 9th guys, but solid with Romo, Affeldt, J. Lopez, Casilla, Strickland, Lincecum (he has yet to pitch in the playoffs however)

The starters are kinda fickle right now.

Peavy was okay until his last start, Bumgardner is nails on the road, but shaky at home, Hudson is hit or miss, and Vogelsong usually pitches his best in the playoffs, although he didn't pitch well in game four.

It really does defy logic as to how they made the world series minus Matt Cain, and Angel Pagan.

You might not have power, but we have anti-power. (To be fair, some of that is probably due to our huge ballpark).
