2014 World Series: San Francisco Giants vs Kansas City Royals

Felt the KC bubble really deflate there.

Nice escape act by Bumgarner. I thought he was going to blow it when he walked Cain to load the bases though.

Giants are looking good.

Tech N9ne warming up.

so after the game shields needs to stand in front of the assembled media and renounce the nickname, right?

i'm sorry to go back to this i just really dislike him as a player

at least he isn't constantly scattering spittle like matt garza

i know i have over-hyped Madison Bumgarner but that is only because i really do think he is something special for right now.

game over

It'll be interesting to see how Aoki handles RF in San Fran. I wonder if they'll start him?

sorry, i had book club duties (...). and now i have a lot of work to finish for very soon so i'm skipping the rest of the game, i mean i'll keep an eye on it, but at 7-0, i feel okay about it.

it's cool, we still got the giants fan angle

(what was the book?)

that sure is a big ugly pix

the Giants did okay tonight

it's cool, we still got the giants fan angle

last year

(Rebecca by du Maurier)

i really didn't think he would give up a run

well to get one is impressive

re watching the pitch, he hit a cut pitch that was coming back towards him.

impressive

esp considering who is pitching

the second greatest pitcher of all time.

i'm joking Bee, <3 you.

sorry that i said impressive twice

got caught in the moment

so this moment is more important for Strickland than Timmy?

yeah i'm so sad for Cain and Timmy and i really wish they were pla...jesus christ Strickland stuff is electric!

Forgettable start, Bumgarner aside.

Pitch Duffy in Game 5?

took nap in 2nd inning, didn't miss much huh

Just finished. Haven't watched much royals this year but I loved watching Duffy pitch. Should be a better series than whatever happened this game. 1st inning shook em up too much. Everything went too perfect for the Giants.

Things have been going too perfect for the Giants since 2010

i guess

We can basically cross out the slow curve; he threw only 19 this year, including three in the playoffs. If Bumgarner beats you on a pitch he’s thrown once every 10 innings, you tip your cap, you head back to the dugout, you stare vacantly into space for three minutes. For everything else, we build a plan.

alright, we're back on for tonight - DOUBLE OR NOTHING

i actually manged to talk some canadians into going out to watch this *while there is hockey on*!!!

It might be fun to see the road team win every game

(did this come close to happening in the last 20 years?)

The 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates are the last team to win a World Series Game 7 on the road.

(the home team only won twice in that Series)

big game james shields has a 5.7 era in 10 post season appearances

What the Royals look like when they lose:

goddammit man i thought that was just gonna be gifs of sad royals

I really hope we get a better Series than last night. I'm a terrible fan for saying this, but after a game like that, I always think "What a waste--I could have watched a movie instead." The 2011 Series was fantastic, and I remember Florida's win in 2003 being pretty exciting, but since 2002's 7-game Series between the Angels and the Giants, I'm don't recall anything being especially memorable. (Conceding that a) I sometimes only watch intermittently, and b) any Series where you have a rooting interest is memorable.)

Don't worry, I was teaching myself Android app programming after the 7th.

I defeated 4 different dungeons in Legend of Zelda - Link Between Worlds
