World Series Thread: Giants vs. Tigers

[zjcvols]

It's not Yankees/Cardinals like MLB wanted, but this will be a great series.

Interesting matchup. It's pitching and more pitching against a pitcher and a **** ton of offense.

I will take the Giants in 7 after going down 3-0

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Tigers in 5. Better pitching and offense.

I predict that the Cards will not win.

Ehh... Verlander is the best pitcher in the series. Their offense is certainly better. I will absolutely not pick against the Giants now, though.

Ha. I told my wife earlier that I wondered if the Giants just liked having to win 3 in a row.

Go Tigers

My dad and I are freaked out about Delmon Young playing Left Field for a potential four games.

I think you are underrating the Tigers pitching a little bit. Scherzer has hit his stride, Sanchez is solid, Fister is healthy, and other than Valverde the bullpen is good. They aren't San Fran, but I like the chances of Detroit.

So, if the Giants win does Melky get a ring? I know he's eligible but do you think he'll get one?

Verlander, Fister, Scherzer, Sanchez > Cain, Vogelsong, Zito, Lincecum

Both pens solid though.

Ought to probably. Funny that he is a big reason they have the home field in the end.

Dodgers franchise must be loving this.

I would think MLB wanted the Nats not the bird turds and the low ratings again

Prediction: Verlander only pitches once. Tigers Sweep

 

[milohimself]

Sticking with my early pick of the tigers to win but rooting for the giants

 

[TBrown]

Tigers in 5

Vamos gigantes

 

[zjcvols]

Ball hits the base, and then somehow Pablo hits one opposite field.

Bad luck.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Opposite field HRs against Verlander take a lot more skill than luck.

 

[slh1089]

Uh, what was that throw?
