OMFG. One of the worst decisions I can ever remember in postseason baseball. Matheny just gave the guy zero chance to succeed.

Matheny needs to be taken out behind the woodshed. Just awful.

Congrats Giants.

Your team isn't relevant enough to have this kind of rivalry.

Giants fans get bragging rights over me and will continually rub it in.
Cards fans don't think of you at all.

Royals definitely have the team of destiny feel to them. Will be rooting for them, who doesn't love a good underdog?

Of the predictions out so far, everyone has been picking the Royals to win so they're not really the underdogs, especially with home field advantage

Giant's in 6. Bochey/MadBum advantage is going to be too much for the Royals to overcome.

This developmentally disabled 1B in SF Brandon belt makes ONE comment about buying chemistry ahead of the 2013 season and now Lord Friedman's press conference is littered with questions about chemistry.
