Wow, great call by the ump. I thought he was easily safe.

Delmon Young everybody! He'll be here all week.


I didn't think it was possible to have a worse arm than Shannon Stewart until now.

Intentional walk to face the NL MVP??? That's a little questionable.

This is why they should remove the DH. If you want to bat, you've got to field (unless your a pinch hitting). It makes for a more interesting game.

Now the Giants get to add an extra bat to the lineup in Detroit.

Buster Posey must be some good luck charm. 2 Seasons of 100+ games played, 2 WS appearances.

That would probably mean a lot more if the Giants had any decent bench bats...

The Giants have a phenomenal team, watching them play the Tigers is ridiculous after watching them play the Cards and the Reds... This is the first year that I can remember where the NL is significantly better than the AL.

I picked Detriot in 6, Detriot has stronger pitching and offense. On paper Detriot should win, but who knows what Scutaro or someone else from Giants would do to step up

The Jays now have 3 days starting Monday to pick up or decline Rajai Davis option for $2.5M! Should be a pretty easy decision to exercise it! He'd be pretty good coming off the bench in 2013.

The Tigers checked out after the ALCS. I can't remember such a good lineup go so quiet in the World Series in recent years.
