***World Series Thread***

[joeywa]

Seriously?  With all the baseball guys we have over here and there's not a World Series thread?
 

OK, Game 2, Royals just took the lead on the Giants in B6, 3-2.

Discuss.

 

[joeywa]

Royals just kept adding runs there.  Big 6th for them.  Up 7-2 T7.

Strickland melted down like a stick of butter on the hood of a Ford in Texas. 

 

[joeywa]

KC holding on.  Up 7-2 heading B8 to face Lincecum

 

[joeywa]

Not good news for Lincecum.  He hurt something on that last pitch.  He's leaving.  SF has to bring in their closer B8; 2 outs.  Hope Lincecum is OK.

 

[joeywa]

And KC takes Game 2 7-2. 

Series tied at 1. 

A complete reversal of last night's game.

I'm conflicted...I'm an NL guy, but I typically cheer for the underdog.

I'm an NL guy, but MLB screwed that up for me by moving the 'stros to the AL.  Kind of like Bud Adams and the City of Houston screwed me out of my Oilers. 

I'm snake-bit. 

 

[joeywa]

Oh, and Lincecum left with lower back pain.  Better than what I thought when I saw it.

I said it earlier I just think there is something special about this Kansas City Royal team. That and I love that it is a team that goes completely against the Moneyball, Billy Beane, Sabermetric way of doing things. Steal bases, play great defense, move 'em over, pay smart baseball. That and if they win and Ned Yost wins the World Series, Keith Law's head might explode which is fun in and of itself.

Tip of the cap to Madison Bumgarner. What he's done in the Series is unreal.

Bum now has a WS ERA of 0.29. That is the a WS record for pitchers with min 25 IP.
That is awfully impressive.

Game 7

SF 3

KC 2

End of 4

 

[streettopeschel]

The Panik 4-6-3 was ridiculous.

Nothing like a gm7

 

[joeywa]

Yes it was. Amazing.

And now here comes Bumgarner to the bump in B5, with a 1 run lead.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

I'm pulling for KC since the Giants have won 2 in the last 4 years.  KC last won it in the Show-Me Series in '85. 

 

[joeywa]

Bum is just nasty.

 

[streettopeschel]

Bums so good that pence is gonna hit .450 and not win the MVP

 

[streettopeschel]

Ouch. Worst God Bless America ever. Shoulda gone to the pen mid-song.
