It’s a Happy World Series - Go… Giants?
I realize the networks and advertisers are disappointed the Yankees aren’t in the Fall Classic but frankly it’s a breath of fresh air to have some new blood playing in Nov.
Plus wasn’t it an absolute pleasure to watch the yanks and Phils die back-to-back on strike 3 looking.
Generally BMF falls strictly by the partisan lines of NL over AL no matter what the WS match-up is, although this year I gotta say I sorta like Texas.
I don’t dislike the Giants per say, but I can’t say I’m rooting for then. Their pitching is formidable but in my opinion they just don’t have enough offense to warrant that WS trophy.
The Rangers are an exciting team - and they just feel more like a team worthy of World Series Champs - game 1 loss not withstanding. They’ve certainly had their fair share of “Met years” by spending a crapload of money for subpar squads. But now they sorta kick ass.
Weird to see Lee get lit up like that. I guess maybe he was nervous? Or just off his routine?
But I’m guessing he’ll be lights out again in game 4.

Don’t really care about these two teams, but you gotta like Josh Hamilton

The last nine times the home team won Game 1 of the World Series they went on to the title. Go Giants!

Have to disagree! The World Series is usually about pitching (except last night) so I don’t think the hitting is as important. Good pitching stops good hitting!
I don’t have a major feeling either way. I wonder what the TV ratings are.
GO GIANTS!!..Just for the NL and the orange of the METS!
Our big announcement on Friday!!…Next whose the Mgr.?

Texas Rangers longest losing streak against any team is is now 8 games…against the GIANTS!
The Rangers are now 0-10 at ATT Park!
GO GIANTS!!!…..Telivision ratings below
The network scored a 10.4 rating and 17 share in Nielsen overnight ratings of the nation’s top markets for Wednesday’s San Francisco-Texas Game 1, down 25 percent from the 13.8/22 pulled in 2009 for the Philadelphia-New York Yankees Game 1. The network points out that the 2010 numbers are up a percent from the 10.3/17 for the Phillies-Tampa Bay opener in 2008.

“Their pitching is formidable but in my opinion they just don’t have enough offense to warrant that WS trophy.”
That would be 20 runs in two games!
BMF- How do you like your Crow prepared?
GO GIANTS!!!….Teams with 2-0 lead have won 40 of 51 World Series!

I am a bit bit partial to the G’ints though they were the mortal enemy to the Brooklyn Dodgers when they were both in NY. Texas also is a good team but they are down 2-zip and I am wondering if the DH is their lifeline.
Speaking of the DH, I wish they would get rid of it. Real pitchers hit… even Cliff Lee got a double.

I have observed that car insurance firms know the autos which are prone to accidents and also other risks. Additionally , they know what style of cars are given to higher risk as well as the higher risk they may have the higher the actual premium rate. Understanding the very simple basics with car insurance will help you choose the right style of insurance policy that could take care of your wants in case you become involved in any accident. Many thanks sharing the actual ideas on your blog.
