How about them Giants!? My Cowboys are getting smoked every week, but as I lifetime Giants fan - I'm loving this. We're just flat out finding a way to get it done. I thought we'd really struggle with the hitters of Philly. So far, we've been just fine. That said - it surely ain't over. Even Posey had a great night last night. He'd been struggling at the dish this series, until yesterday. BUT, I LOVE our chances. I think they're an easy group to root for, too.
Buster Posey's easy to root for. I've been watchign him, since he was a skinny SS at FSU. The rest of the team???? No feelings one way or another. Ditto the Phillies. I would like to see the Giants and the Rangers square off in the WS. That would make for a great series for baseball fans.
Espn has to be ****ting kittens right now, with the likelyhood of no east cost team in the WS. Giants vs Rangers should make for an exciting series.
I will admit. They have completely shocked me. I called them going to the playoffs as a wildcard team before the beginning of the season, but I never thought they would be here. Crazy as hell! I will be tuned in here in 5 hours to see if Holladay can force this to game 6.
I DO think, the sooner the series ends, the better chance the Giants have. I lose big confidence in a game 6, and even more in a game 7 with the experience the Phils have. I too followed BP as a shortstop. The dude shredded the minors. Madison B has a pretty damn bright future, too. Timmy L looks like a gothic little girl - but the bro can certainly hurl!
I wouldnt' go crowning them yet. Stranger things have happened. They've surprised me to be honest. I thought the Phillies were the best team in this years playoffs (may still be), but hats off to the Giants getting it done so far.
HERE WE GO! Going to be a really fun Series I think. Can't help but think the Giants have the edge in this one. Thank goodness for the dumb All Star game!
Im not too sure if the giants have the edge here. The Rangers put away the two teams with the best record in baseball. And they seemed to make light work of it.
