The Giants wrap up the set in Chicago with thirteens runs tonight after managing one and zero the previous two nights. Another shutout for the pitching staff. Glad to see Joe Torre making my argument on behalf of Buster Posey for ROY as well. A good day for the Gigantes.
According to the Cubs announcers, the wind is blowing out, apparently only when the Giants bat since the Cubbies have managed zero runs so far. I've always found that the wind did blow harder when your pitching sucked. Seems like that would violate some law of nature or physics or something, but that's just my observation.
Trust me, even though I am a die-hard Giant fan, I would turn the Rays-Yankees on in a heartbeat but ESPN isn't carrying that one.
Can you believe it? There's maybe five teams still in it in MLB out of thirty teams and they can't show a potential League Championship preview? Who's in charge of marketing this game? Who makes fans play "Where's Waldo?" with games of this importance? And wonder why fan interest and ratings disappoint.
The exact opposite of the NFL experience coming down the homestretch, where only five of thirty teams would be eliminated with two-three weeks left in the season.
This should be taped to Pablo Sandoval's pillow this off-season (and maybe one or two other Giants?) -- the famous Ted Willams 77-ball strike zone. Know yourself as a hitter, your strengths and weaknesses. Bam-Bam are you listening?
And then have a good hitting approach throughout the count.
The rest should be easy, we know he can hit.
