Experts Before Game 1: Verlander has this easy.

Experts Before Game 2: Tigers will bounce back.

Experts Before Game 3: No way Tigers lose at home.

Experts Before Game 4: The series isn’t over yet.

How stupid can these people get?

CONGRATS to the giants

this to me is one of the best PS runs ever

just amazing contributions they got from so many people

Zito contract has been justified imo

Cosign.

Agreed. Going down two games in the DS and CS coming back to win both series and then sweeping the World Series is amazing. Crazy run.

It's also crazy to think about how they made this run WITHOUT THEIR BEST HITTER. Melky Cabrera could have come back for the CS and they decided to sit him as further punishment. And, it wasn't even how good the offense was. This team was pristine defensively and the bullpen was flawless.

Zito contract has been justified imo

Whoa now. The guy pitched very well this postseason and during the regular season, but he still probably has the distinction of having the worst contract ever. This year was his first winning season as a member of the Giants and he was actually on the Giants' postseason roster for this run. So, saying his gigantic contract was justified is a bit overzealous.

It's hard to say if his contract was justified, but a World Series is a World Series, and Zito saved the Giants season twice in one month.

Yep, Zito secured a place in my heart. It's not like I have to pay the guy.

Vernon Wells signed literally the exact same contract the same off-season, so at least he helped his team win the world series. Wells' contract is probably the worst in baseball.
