World Series, 2012

[Wry Catcher]

Which team do you support and who will be chosen as the series MVP.

 

[Wry Catcher]

24 looks and no comments?

I pick the Giants in 6 and Pablo, the Panda, as MVP (of course I'm a 'homer').

 

[Wry Catcher]

Giants 8, Tigers 3

Panda 4 for 4 with three big flies!

 

[Wry Catcher]

San Francisco Giants 2, Detroit Tigers 0

SF leads serious 2 games to zero.

It's looking promising for the Giants...(my home team)

mmm...

Just being obvious...

 

[Wry Catcher]

Well, Lumpy, the Giants are my home team too and the one thing which stands out for me is the Giants are a TEAM, not simply a group of guys lead by one or two super stars.

I coached baseball for years, and the best team in 50 years of playing and coaching was when the team had fun together. One of my little league team went 20 and 1 and while we had good players what stood out was how they played together. On saturday's, if our game was at 9:00 AM by 11 they were on the adjacent football field playing ball togehter - like kids did in the '50's. No parents, no coaches, no umpires just 12 of my team and as the season went on other kids from other teams started to show up.

Watch the Giants in the dugout and after the game - a bunch of kids playing ball. That's one big. reason for their success

Actually that is when I give a fuck about the world series...after the over rated, over paid and over aged Yankees are eliminated.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Giants win again; two to zero again - one win away from a sweep. The Panda still looks good as the MVP but Crawford at Short and Blanco in LF have played MVP defense.

Just tell the owners of the other 31 teams to delete the Bronx Bombers from their home schedules. Who needs a full stadium...too much janitorial costs...

 

[sfcalifornia]

Wow! They did it in four. Go Giants!

 

[Wry Catcher]

Yep, Giants, World Series winners in four. Pablo Sandoval MVP as I predicted - though I think Marco Scutaro's play merited some consideration as did Brandon Crawford's excellent 'D'.

 

[Synthaholic]

What a shitty WS.

 

[Bfgrn]

What a shitty WS.

Not if you are a fan of baseball. The Giants gave a clinic in winning October baseball. The Yankees and Tigers gave a clinic in how to win during the regular season, and fail in the post season.

If your offense relies on 3 run homers, they don't happen enough when the bottom of the rotation never sees the mound, and the temperatures are no longer in the 80's and 90's.

I really enjoyed this World Series, even though I am a Yankee fan and an American League fan.
