Awesome performance last night.

Ventura was nails, such a gutsy performance. Excited for this evening...Game 7s are always fun. Wouldn't be surprised if Guthrie only went 3-4 innings and then Yost UNLOADS the bullpen....(Herrera, Davis, Vargas?, Shields?, Holland)....

I expect Mad Bum to go about 2-3 innings, unfortunately.

elpablo21 elpablo21 , "Ace" Ventura. That's your boy in the MLB Redraft. Had a banner year as I expected, immense pressure in a must-win Game 6. Yordy did it for Taveras. Battled despite some control issues. Got nervous when he walked the bases full. Tinkered with his stuff a bit, created wavering concern.

Unfortunately for Giants fans, 2-3 IP from MadBum won't matter if the Royals chase Hudson out of the game early like last night (to Peavy). I'm thinking anything more than 4 sharp innings from Guthrie is considered a bonus for Yost in G7.

Have a feeling "Moose" (or Hosmer) will be the difference-maker with their bat(s) tonight.

Hosmer seems like he is due for a huge hit. I'd like to see that tonight as well.

Mannnn, Westport and Power & Light (where J Coachman has been during Sportscenter lately) will be crazy. I'll be sitting in my apartment nice and warm sipping on some hot cider with caramel vodka.

Drink sounds like a winter panty-dropper.

I wouldn't factor this in too much. Prior to 1982 the road teams won like 15 of 18 game 7 World Series games prior to this.

I'm tight, I got a class tonight that's going to be going on from 7 Cali time to 930 so from about the 5th or 6th on ima have to be checking the score on my phone throughout the night.
 
New borns can look rough but after a few moths it's all good. That baby last night looked pretty good, skin looked fine, head seemed appropriate

Anyone else find it funny with arguably the greatest hitter of our generation the Giants went to the World Series once and with a bunch of blue collar hitters they're there every two years. That's the cool thing about baseball good pitching and clutch hits will carry you.

Fixed it for ya.

I said pre-2010 I would never forgive Brian Sabean for wasting the chance to win WS titles with Barry.  He failed to put a really good team around a generational talent.  Unacceptable.  It really was just Bonds and Kent. 

Thank god for 2010 and 2012 or Sabean would have been burned at the stake. 
 
Barry was immortal during that stretch. I'm gonna be an old man telling my grandchildren about him being intentionally walked with the bases loaded 50 years from now. I don't think we'll ever see a hitter feared as much as Bonds was during that stretch.
