2010's Last IGT - 106th World Series: San Francisco v Texas

[MFS62]

To close out the game, it wasn't exactly a Hallmark moment - SF didn't care enough to send their very best.

Line o' the night.

I'm rooting for the home team to win every game so this is working out just as I planned. I would like to some pitching duels in the upcoming games though.

Jose Guillen, left of the Giants post-season roster, is being linked in reports to an HGH investigation.

Game 3 is on -- rooting for Texas until further notice so as to avoid a quickie 4 or 5 gamer.

Jonathan Sanchez v Colby Lewis
Do you suppose Colby has a sibling named Cheddar or Muenster?

At the bottom of a swamp I hope.

Looking forward to hating Buck and McCarver in real time.

Joe Buck sucking up to NFL during MLB's showcase. Ah, good old Fox...

Because everyone watch the World Series in October is wondering what channel the Super Bowl is in February.

Heeding the words of Abraham Simpson, January 12, 1969:

"I'm trying to watch the Super Bowl. If people don't support this thing, it might not make it."

Or that anyone has ever missed a Super Bowl game on account of being unable to find it on their TV dial.

Frenchy misplays a ball in the corner, but Huff not running hard so it's only a double anyway.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That's the sombrero for Burrell, who's striking out like some sort of strikeout... Machine.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"FELIZ... slams the door.

Like Darrelle Revis and the Jets plan to at home against Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings and a scrappy Packer squad. Tomorrow on FOX!"

[Frayed Knot]

First WS win ever for the entire state of Texas as Houston got swept in their only showing.
Prior to tonight the state had been 0-6

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

No matter who you're rooting for, 2-1 is better than 3-0.

No, bordering on bullshit, if you're rooting for SF.

It doesn't look like Frenchie has shaved since he left the Mets.

[Fman99]

Maybe WS ratings are perpetually in the tank due to Buck and McCarver. What utter bores they are.

[metirish]

One of the joys of this WS is watching a team like the Giants with a bunch of older players and retreads playing.

Ditto on Buck and McCarver.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ditto on the announcers and Team Baseball-Frankenstein. Ted Berg of SNY's website said something like that himself a few days ago:

Sabean has compiled � and somehow derived solid performances from � such a random collection of journeymen that I feel like it�ll make for great conversation about 20 years from now. Maybe you don�t have conversations like this: �Hey, remember Juan Uribe?� �Juan Uribe� yeah! Kinda chubby guy, had a big year for the White Sox when they won it.� �Nah (looking it up on future information device), he kinda sucked that year. But yeah, that�s the guy. Didn�t he sh�� �Oh! Wasn�t he on that Giants team that randomly won in 2010!?� �Yeah he totally was! Hit a big home run for them in Game 1. Hilarious, bro!� And then someone will be like, �Who else was on that team?� And we will remember Aubrey Huff, Freddy Sanchez, Edgar Renteria, Pat Burrell, Cody Ross, a whole slew of deserving but unspectacular Major Leagues we do not normally associate with the Giants. And we will have a good chuckle.

[metirish]

So true , and really , win or lose Sabean isn't bringing back these guys, except of course he probably will and if not he'll replace them with players as old and as has been.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Thought Frenchy got that one.

[Frayed Knot]

Story of Frenchy's career - making outs and looking good while doing it.

[G-Fafif]

Too many Rangers fan in costume -- focus.

[ashie62]

Maybe the Mets will field a team of old retreads and win?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Shut out. Wham.
