Yeah Mismanagement led to pulling wainwright who would have won the game.

The Cards literally threw that series away with bad pitching and bad defense.  I gotta go KC now that my Red Birds are out.

True, especially considering how bad the Cards relief and closers had been.

So did every other team the Giants played. Look for coincidences while they pass out the rings.

I don't love or hate the Giants but I'll be pulling for the Royals.
Every year lately the playoffs really expose the Cards weaknesses big time. I knew they were there this year but man did they show up big time. Oh well....life could be a lot worse if I was a Cubs fan.

Well, KC is my home team, so I guess to say the royals will do well is a given..KC is an interesting team, seems that someone always step's up to the plate and the defense has been a game changer in the playoff's..
The weather forecast for games 1 and 2, played at KC looks to be near ideal..
KC has been the Rodney Dangerfield of the American League...They just can't get no respect..
This will be a one year chance for KC, as they will loose James and Butler do to salary and free agency...
KC in 5...

Check out this:
Which team will win the World Series? - Sportsnation - ESPN
Me? I have been to several KC games in the past.
Nicer fans then in SF for sure.
Plus I have a ball signed to me by George Brett!

I had hoped for a birdwatcher's Series--Cardinals vs. Orioles--but it was not to be. I have nothing against the Giants, but the Royals have really impressed me. They have a very limited payroll, there are no big-name stars on the roster, and they just get the job done. Their defensive play in the run-up to the Series has been terrific--as my baseball fan sister says, tighter than a gnat's sphincter.
I'd like to see the no-respect guys win it all.

Amazing. The Bobby Thomson do-alike by a scrub who lasted exactly one game with the Yanks last year. The Yanks picked up Ishikawa as a backup at 1b. He struck out twice in 2 ABs in that game AND bozo'ed a play but was not charged with an error. I believe his family was en route to NY at the time. Wonder if the plane was turned around in flight or they parachuted out. Scrub. Go Yanks!

P.S. My favorite all-time team: 9 DHs and a pitching machine.
What is the National League?

What ever love I had for the Giants of the Willie Mays era was completely done away with by Barry "Size 12 Hat" Bonds. Go Royals !

giants know how to win ....
just look at the very average stats that most of the team has , fairly low batting averages , not super high rbi totals , anemic stolen base figures . not gigantic home run production .
AND the big bats of posey , pence & panda weren't especially hot in the washington & cards play off series ...... result ? .... they STILL managed to win against both those really superb teams !
i have a foul ball off the bat of willie mCcovey from the 60's era in dodger stadium . programs from the late 60's & early 70's . would not trade those memories for good $.
was discharge from the service in 1971 in frisco & managed to see my giants play one game in the old candelestick park ...never to be forgotten !
win or lose , i am a giants fan for life !!

attn rock n roll kid
Great post! Do you remember:
Juan Marichal's sky high kick when on the mound?
Willie Mays ALWAYS forcing the OF to make a throw to stop him from taking the extra base (no pulling up at 2b)?
Mays scoring from 1b on a ground ball single to RF?
The menace that was Willie McCovey with his frightening LH swing?
They don't make 'em like that anymore. Go Yanks!

Been 57 since I rooted for the Dodgers.
Tonight the Giants are down 9-0 in the bottom of the 6th. Looks as if it could be a seven-game Series, which is fine with me. And what a ton of fun this one has been to watch! Some fantastic defense on both sides, and that's the heart of the game for me.
My sister is right--Bumgarner has to be an android.

KC really kicked the Giants butts tonight. Go Royals for the win in Game 7.  Ventura was outstanding.

Madison Bumgarten is amazing. No one's ever had a Series like it!

I watched the giants all through the 60's and 70's and into the 80's with my Dad.
He never got to see them win.
I hope he's watching now.

Bumgarten set records for most innings AND lowest ERA. Nothing against Big Bob, I saw him pitch and he was great..

In 1967 Gibson pitched 3 complete games, won all 3, had a World Series E.R.A. of 1.00, had 26 strikeouts and hit a home run to boot. He was named series MVP. Bumgarten was a machine no doubt but I wouldn't say he had a better series than Gibson

The double play at second with the three minute review to make
the correct call was the play of the game, I think.
Great game, weather and no players with a major injury..........
makes this a super series, even going into the 7th game, too !!
KC waited a LONG time to get the win...............sorry
The "Bum" went 3 & 0 when they gave him the win in the 7th game...................This guy is the real thing..... Fantastic pitching !! History in the making, per the announcers.
Party time in SF, for sure........................
