Good game, Giants!

Bamgarner pitched one heck of a game.

Giants up 3-1. Hm. As a Red Sox fan, I have to believe in miracles. But the Giants are playing too well and the Rangers are looking a bit lost out there.

Hope the Giants can clinch at home. When you have waited for something for so long, its nice to do it at home.

I wonder what the differences are in coaching/management philosophy and styles between these teams are. What you say here rings true for me- both teams have very young players, yet, the Giants young guys just don't look rattled much at all. Bumgarner was so focused- they all seem to be. When he was between being on the mound, he sat alone and at times looked almost like he was meditating. LOL... I'm such a woo-woo Californian! but something is jiving with those guys and how they concentrate!

I keep thinking it has to do with the coaching staff and the Giants manager. I did some coaching (very little as I just was pre-Title IV in women's sports in my young days) in college for some middle school girls programs- just thinking back about motivational techniques and confidence building.

It would be great to have the Giants take it at home, but, a win tonight would be fine by me! But, the Rangers could come out battling and I know they have talent. So, I'm just sitting back and watching! Plus, this is a big deal for Rangers fan, too. First WS ever.

Gotta check to see if that big screen thing is really going to happen in SF tonight! Hope so- it would be great to hang with some fans and watch in a sort of "being there" way.

I havent seen enough of either team to ascertain a style or philosophy. I have questioned Washingtons handling of the pitching staff....seems to me he leaves some pitchers in too long and pulls others too fast.

Plus, it is an adjustment for both teams to have to play by the others rules depending on who's park you are in. I cant imagine what it is like to have to go without your designated hitter - its a team used to playing with certain players in certain order. All of a sudden, they are a batter short and pitchers who havent swung a bat since little league are trying to remember how to bunt. How do you decide who to bench? Whats more important, the defense or the offense? I dont think I would be wanting to have to make those decisions.

Yet there are always the intangibles to deal with. The unsung heroes, the leaders of a team who can inspire and motivate just because they BELIEVE, the ones who dig down a little deeper in the clutch, the ones who do the little things that start rallies etc.

Nonetheless, both of these teams are here because they deserve to be. The Giants havent lost a step. They seem to be just bearing down and coming thru when they need to. Rangers do not seem to be exhiniting the same confidence, nor do they seem to be relying on those things which got them this far. All we can ask as fans, is that they all try the best they can.

I'm proud of both of these teams. Win or lose, they accomplished something special just to get to this point.

Thanks!

Yeah, all the sports shows have all kinds of things to say and I think it is great that these two are there. It does feel good to have teams that have battled their hearts out during the season be in the WS. Just feels like baseball!!!

On the station I am watching there was a bit about the nuns that get season tickets for the Rangers- really cute story. Eldery and one of them beats on a little drum! I love these kind of baseball fans!! My Mom in her early 80's was a riot to watch it with and she knew all the strategy! Of course, she watched the game for years and years.

OK, game is on... so is a pot of homemade soup on the stove. I'm a happy camper! Maybe the Series will help with the election blues I think I will feeling tomorrow tomorrow night! It's the little things!!

Hummm... I wonder if Alpha went over to SF to watch tonight. I couldn't due to dumb joint pain! Phooey! I think the big screen thing is going on at the Civic Center???

Ex-mistress: Bonds blamed steroids for injury

By PAUL ELIAS, Associated Press 16 minutes ago


SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Barry Bonds’ former mistress testified Monday that the slugger blamed a 1999 elbow injury on steroid use, while also conceding she capitalized financially from their nine-year relationship.

Called by prosecutors to the witness stand, Kimberly Bell also testified about physical and behavioral changes—including a profanity-laced outburst— she said Bonds experienced during their relationship, which ended in May 2003.

I could just smack Bonds! But, I love the Giants- glad he's gone!!

The idea that he "didn't know" he was taking these.... ARGH!!

I have no interest in present day baseball whatsoever but have a strong interest in vintage imaginery of the early New York Yankees' sides.

For many years, I've collected original Yankees photographs from their origins in 1903 through to the late 1940s, with a particular liking for items from the 1920s. I'm not really sure what started the interest but just find this vintage imagery so alluring and way ahead of its time.

This sound wonderful! My Dad had some vintage baseball photos- I believe a nephew has them now.

After the incident of a fan getting attacked in LA this past week (he is in a medically induced coma at present), I'm having a difficult time with the season starting. I have loved the game all my life and enjoy going to games to this day. But, this makes me sick.

The old days of baseball? Like when the Giants and Dodgers were New York teams ;)

As a European sports fan, I just don't understand (or like) the US franchise system where teams with long-established routes in one city can up and leave to another part of the country like that.

My "old days!" My first games were at Seal Stadium in SF right after the Giants were uprooted.

I can see your point here. My parents were huge baseball fans- and "courted" when the Giants and Dodgers were NY teams. Since they eventually settled in northern CA, they were happy about these teams ending up here. Although, they sure talked up the days of the "Bums".

Presumably one of the grounds where the SF Seals played? Until recently, I had a Japanese program for a goodwill tour that the Seals made to Japan in 1949.

My young nephew is half-Japanese and the Japanese are very interested in baseball so I'm determined that he'll be raised as a Yankees fan :)

Their history was so romantic - always the bridesmaid and never the bride ... until 1955 when "next year finally came" :) ...... one of the best stories of sporting history.


Ken Burns' Baseball, a documentary series from the early to mid 1990s, is a great program with some absolutely fantastic footage.

KEWL!!

Sure did!! I have so many great memories of seeing them play back then- and Willie Mays. My brother played Triple A ball (catcher) was scouted by the Giants. His HSW team took the state championship one year. Never made it though, but baseball was such a part of my childhood. I was the "bat girl" for his HS and triple A team. And he broke my fingers more than once and my nose when I would catch for him because he wanted to be a pitcher. I played softball, but back then, girls sports were nothing. Pre-Title IX. Sucked. But we had hella baseball games in the neighborhood that were co-ed. My parents both played, too.

Ken Burns' Baseball, a documentary series from the early to mid 1990s, is a great program with some absolutely fantastic footage.
Yes, this great- and you are right that the modern day MLB has lost some of the magic. One of the things I really enjoyed about last year's SF Giants was that they were a team of young, no-name players- a "team!" No super stars. Plus, I love Lincecum's long hair and Wilsons beard.

Phooey- they are getting beat by the Dodgers tonight!!

The Dodgers trounced the Giants pretty good this weekend for the opening of the season.

They sure did- damn! except, I always root for Dodger Blue when my Giants are out of the play-offs and the Dodgers are in. Always for the National League.

Thought the Giants might over take the dodgers last night- phooey!! Hoping next time these teams play in SF, I will catch a game at the park. I have a couple of nephews that are Dodger (from So Cal) fans and we always have a good time going to see our teams together- lots of attitude and outlandish claims!

I am soooooo excited baseball is back!!! I love me some baseball. I don't have a favorite team, that would be like work for me. I generally cheer for the brightest jersey, I am well aware that makes some of you hardcore fans roll your eyeballs. I like the stats. I have some favorite players. I really enjoy watching the pitcher/backcatcher teams. I just enjoy it all.

Oh and I LOVED watching the Bluejays opening game... Oh Canada Our Home and Native Land....
