Well the Giants did what we couldnt do last year (if they hold on), come back from down 3-1.

Not sure who to cheer for in the WS, but im leaning toward Detroit.

They're **** done this year. Time to crawl back in that hole. If the Giants give this away, they should cease to exist.

We were never down 3-1.

My bad, didnt check. I thought we won game 5, and lost game 6 when we came back.

Scutaro is definitely a guy given his defense and OK bat that I think many of us would have considered.

Maybe Scutaro is a guy that figured it out at age 36, or more likely he's on an incredibly flukey run.

He may be the first player to ever drastically improve after leaving Coors...and more crazy...he went from the best hitter's park to in some regards the worst. Unless there is some crazy idea that he had more alleys to hit it to in San Francisco, I would call this more of a luck acquisition than some brilliant stroke of genius to predict that Scutaro would go from a decent bat and glove to an MVP candidate.

I mean, I know that Marco is always near the top of the league in "least strikeouts" but you have to LOL at batting .362 with a .385 OBP over 60 games. If you asked me, I would have said that's almost not possible.

Couple that with going to a horrible hitter's park and slugging .80 points higher than his career average and you have a hilarious fluke of a run.

He's not a bad player, if I didn't have one of the good shortstops in the league, I'd definitely grab himm.

However, good for him, but he'll return to earth next year.

I know I wanted him over Yuni in 2011. I probably wanted him last year before we signed Gonzalez too.
