The Giants are really impressing me. Like many I people I thought for sure the Tigers had a big edge with all the rest and their starting rotation. But here are the Giants poised to beat Verlander pretty good in game one. I guess being hot really does trump being really rested.

I was in SF today visiting clients. I had some time to drive over to Pac Bell Park. I was able to ilegally park right in front of the stadium just before noon.
Even though I am a Dodger fan I support my daughters bad Giants habit because at least she is watching sports. I walked by 6 vendor tents and 1 had WS t shirts. He wasnt open anddirected me to the Giants merchandise store. They told me that the WS gear wouldn't arrive for another hour. They had plenty of NLCS Champ gear but no WS gear. I went back to the 1 tent who had the 1 box of WS T shirts and talked the guy into selling me a tshirt for $40. I thought I got taken advantage of. On the plane ride home I spoke with the gal who had the game on her ipad mid flight who told me she was at the dugout store an hour after me, when they limited everyone outside to 1 person every 2 minutes. She said she flirted her way to an hour wait to buy shot glasses, polo shirts, hats, wavey towels...but no t shirts. Apparently, I stumbled upon the only box of tshirts in China Basin!!!! It killed me as a Dodger fan to drop $40 on Giants gear but when my daughter was given her gift her smile was well worth it! |

Not too surprised. Giants are on a last year Cardinals like run. Nothing is standing in their way right now.

This may be closer to a 2004 Red Sox type roll than anything. Just crazy momentum. |

I'm mildly for the Tigers, but I can't say I'm saddened to see Jose Valverde lit up again.

This is a complete assrape right now
I am ****ing Amazed at how much more the Giants want this then every other team in the league. I wish my team had this kind of hunger. NO ****ing superstars on the line up. Just solid players that want to win more then the other team. |

idont know if he's a superstar just yet. He's on his way no doubt. Even so, ok, they have 1. Most other teams have way more then that. At least the competing teams that are in the play offs or competing for them year in and year out.

Sandoval is an All-Star as well. May not call him a superstar yet but that line up is more than just solid. When guys like Scutaro, Pagan and Pence step up they're pretty loaded.

And of course another Royals castoff is now good enough to start for a WS team but was nothing in KC... Gregor Blanco.

THIS is what makes the Giants team and the one two years ago so special. I gotta say they have taken it up quite a few notches if they pull this one out.
