World Series

Who here besides me is rooting for the Giants in the World Series?

[Mikekoz13]

I'm also rooting for the Giants. I've had a soft spot for them ever since I visited the old Candlestick Park for a game back in 1987. Besides..... they sport the same colors as my beloved Orioles.

Not a big baseball fan....That said, I am rooting for the Tigers, because Detroit needs something to cheer about...However, if the Giants win, I won't feel too bad. Now that Bonds is gone, I can start to like the Giants again. I'm a closeted A's fan by the way and my mother hates ALL San Francisco sports teams with a passion (She lived in Oakland from 1982-2003). I hope the WS goes at least five or six games if not seven.

Hey SSH, I'm with your Mama.

Giants in 7 unless Verlander wins 2 games. I don't trust the Tigers relief pitching. The Yankees sent them Phil Coke, who I do not trust in pressure situations.

Gotta go with the Tigers.

[RoWilJr]

Not much of baseball fan (since I played in HS) but.... Gonna go with "Detroit Rock City"

[b.driscoll]

  Tigers of course..............but the Giants are not to be taken lightly. Hope it goes 6 or 7 games and all of them exciting.

[schro]

My two favorite team are the A's and whoever plays the Giants.

Tigers in 6.

I originally picked the Tigers in 6 thinking Verlander would win two games. Well, that's out the window and now the Giants are in the drivers seat. Still sticking with the Tigers but now they have to win in 7 games.

What the heck happened to Verlander.?

What the heck happened to Verlander.?

Was kind of afraid that would happen. He/Detroit was used to facing the Yankees who clearly didn't care that they were there. Then he faces SF who was so AMPED up and HOT at the right time, it became a barrage of bullets he couldn't withstand.

Did anyone see if there was a stolen base last night? Taco Bell is supposed to give America a free "Doritos Taco" or something if it happens in the World Series. Once that steal happens, I bet many TV's just shut off all over America LOL

What the heck happened to Verlander.?

Verlander got spanked!

GO GIANTS!!

@ Plano:  No stolen base last night.

@ Hingatao:  I know you are happy.

@ B. Driscoll:  I know you are shocked.

Wow... the best pitcher on the planet (Verlander) got rocked last night.  He definitely proved that he was human last night.  Props to the Giants for playing well.  Everything went their way last night including that base hit when the ball hit third base which was going to be the 3rd out of the inning.

It's only Game #1 of the World Series.  So... there is plenty of baseball left.  Originally... I thought it was going to be the Tigers in 5 games.  I still pick the Tigers to win it but I predict that it will go 7 games.  The Giants are a very scrappy group but the Tigers have a better line up.  I know Verlander will not repeat that performance again.  He is too good of a pitcher to have another bad game.
