Just read the Taveras news. Incredibly sad. Hard to believe, really. We just saw the kid playing a couple weeks ago.

Has Fox mentioned it yet? They should probably say something.

Wtf just read the Taveras news, unbelievable stuff really, last week he was given his offseason workout plan and told that he'd be the starting outfielder next year.

Tragic end for a 22 year old. RIP

Wow that's horrible. If Cards make it to the WS, then he's still alive today. Just crazy. RIP.

The fact that the Giants have scored the last 15 runs in the series is really eye-opening. Game 6 is a repeat of the Game 2 match-up, but that game really fell apart for the Giants in the 5th inning when Strickland came in. If the Giants can get good middle relief to keep the Royals in check, I think the Giants will handle the pressure better.

Anything can happen from here.

All I hope for is a good game tonight. No more late inning blowouts. I need some drama, man.

I'm genuinely curious as to how soon Bochy would pull the plug on Hudson and put Bum in.

I'm thinking if Hudson gives up a max of two runs, he's out.

Depends on how the offense does against Guthrie and Hudson's pitch count as well. He probably won't go more than 70 pitches if he is doing relatively well. 2 runs in 4 or 5 innings is what the Giants are likely hoping for out of Hudson. I think they put Petit if they are losing close, Bumgarner if they are winning.

That moment when Jeremy Guthrie is starting game 7 of the WS.
