This should be the one the Tigers get. And they might not get another. God forbid they lose this one, it should be a sweep.

Right now its sunny but breezy. Rain is forecasted for later in the nite. Shouldn't be as hard as Mondays rain.
Tigers and Giants rarely see each other.They know Fielder from his Milwaukee days and hate his ass.I wanna see Zito pull another miracle out of his ass but don't see it.Probably a better chance of seeing Lincecum in relief after 3 innings.

Giants pitching staff just too deep for the Tigers. Giants are the number two scoring team on the road in the majors this yr. Doesn't look good for the Tigers.

Bumgarner yes, Zito no. Zito you just have to pray for a miracle even tho he did have a good season.
All of the Giant starters have been streaky this year. Bumgarner at one point was the best pitcher on the staff and he's only 23.
I always said the Giants are the most dangerous team in the playoffs due to their pitching. Pitching has been their bread and butter the last 4 years and most of them are fairly young . The key to the giants is just getting to the post season.

No-one expected that. I was reading a few previews of game 1, and people dismissed Zito like he was a joke.

The key to the giants is just getting to the post season. I expected Zito to be shelled in game 1 and expected atleast 1 or two runs by Detroit against Baumgardner considering how he has done in the post season so far. But I never expected both to go deep into the game and give up zero runs and only like 5 or 6 hits and as few walks as they have given up.
I said St. Louis was Detroits best chance at winning, and thought San Fran had the advantage with pitching, but Verlander getting shelled I did not expect and I never expected San Fran to get those lucky breaks that they got so far(double off the bag in game 1 and the bounce off the wall in game 2)

It was by far the best World Series in a long time, because there was not jusrt one or two players who stepped up at all. The entire an Fran team stepped it up big time in this series.

They also barely managed to get by Cincinnati as well. But they did win those games that mattered.
That's like saying the 2004 Red Sox were not any good, as they barely got by the Yankees, even though they are still the only team in MLB to ever come back from 0-3 to win a best of 7

The Giants overcame a ton of adversity this season. Closer Brian Wilson out for the year. Melky Cabrera suspended 50 games for using performance enhancing drugs. Tim Lincecum having a sub par season until he was moved to the bullpen. I give manager Bruce Bochy a ton of credit.

I kinda blame Bochy a little for Lincecum's poor season.
He wanted Posey to rest a bit so he sent him to the bench or first base. Hector Sanchez ended up catching Lincecum and Sanchez is the worst defensive I have seen in a long time. I am also betting Sanchez's pitch calling isn't that great either.

Lincecum's mechanics were way off at the start and it seemed he really never attempted to fix them until after the all star game.

Lincecum's mechanics were way off at the start and it seemed he really never attempted to fix them until after the all star game.
He was waaaaay too skinny at the start of the season. He cut out his daily IN and Out burger ritual and started the season at 147 pounds. But Posey would have had a better chance of spotting any issues than Hector Sanchez. Sanchez was a pass ball machine and Lincecum balls dive hard into the ground.

The Giants overcame a ton of adversity this season. Closer Brian Wilson out for the year. Melky Cabrera suspended 50 games for using performance enhancing drugs. Tim Lincecum having a sub par season until he was moved to the bullpen. I give manager Bruce Bochy a ton of credit.
I kinda blame Bochy a little for Lincecum's poor season.
He wanted Posey to rest a bit so he sent him to the bench or first base. Hector Sanchez ended up catching Lincecum and Sanchez is the worst defensive I have seen in a long time. I am also betting Sanchez's pitch calling isn't that great either. Lincecum was horrible from the start of the season though, even before Bochy started shifting Posey around.

Well Lincecum was told to,lay off his weed as well, which would explain the weight loss
