What a game.  Giants set to retake the lead?

And the table is set.  Giants sure deserved this.  As a general fan of the game I hope the NLCS & ALCS are as entertaining as the LDS have been. 

As a Cardinals fan I look at the pattern and realize this year is the Giants' turn to represent the NL in the Series :mellow:

Also that was a kickass catch by Pence.

KC concerns me;  why I don't think they have as much overall talent as the Os, they're playing hot and that is what wins in baseball.

That being said, Buck Showalter managed Brad Ausmus right out of his socks, albeit with a little help from Brad himself (Chamberlain again in Game 2, because getting shellacked the night before wasn't enough? Hernan Perez? Who?). 

Advantage: Buck and his bullpen.

Asked my sister what the mood's like in KC. She and her husband don't care for sports (like, at all), but she says the hype machine is in full gear and merchandise just flies off the shelves.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

No offense Syt but does your sister have any redeeming qualities?  Crazy right wing religious person who doesn't like sports?  Is there something cool about her?

I imagine they need to knock off a layer of dust, but nice to see a dormant fan base come alive.  I think the only times I see a Royals hat is on some hip-hopper or wanna be, flat bill and all.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

She's not super right wing. Yet. Her husband his half Native American, so that might delay the conversion to right-wing nutjob. For my other sisters it took 10, 15 years. They were very liberal when they were in Germany. :P

The two oldest are. The oldest one who lives in the Florida panhandle additionally roots for the Gators.
