Giants are a special special team

The San Francisco Giants are a special special group of guys.
Very satisfying to watch these guys
just win.

Longtime Dodger fan disillusioned.  Sees oldtime baseball spirit in this group of Giants.

from top down, the Giants hierarchy and team are the best in baseball today.

I'm not sellin' the Kansas City upstarts short.  Cinderella Team if there ever was one.

But Ishi made me a believer for good.

I was already repenting of things i said about Joe Panik--in my fantasy season--that i just couldn't see his longterm value. 

But i'm keepin' him on my fantasy team.

Pence is cool.

Posey great.

Brandon Crawford comin' on all around.

all the pitching, fielding, running, luck.....

yeah, the Cuckarachas are somethin' else....

Go Giants! 

yet...those Royals are somethin' too.  new respect for Ned Yost. 

should be a good one.

one prediction i will make--Royals will suffer their first postseason losses in 2014....against these Giants, these ChemistryKings.

would love to see it go 7, but probably not.

San Francisco Giants....on a roll.  in 6.  *don't take that to the bank, haha!*

AROD: Yanks should pay him off and cut him loose

The 2015 Yankees should pay AROD off, cut him loose and get on with building a winning team of honest baseball players.

AROD is under contract and wants to play in 2015. 

The Yankees have a third baseman.  and others are available.

There is no need for the Yankees to allow a sideshow like AROD to undermine whatever good Jeter's classy but team-costly retirement run accomplished.

That's over...and i have a police:  always make your last shot.  Let the last shot you made be your last shot.

Jeter "made" his last shot.

It was a commercial and it honored Team, Integrity, and Consistent Goodness.

Now, AROD, who can never ever be the player they paid him to be
who is unwanted by any baseball player or fan who has integrity and a target because of , his criminal behavior, classlessness and selfishness

is gonna come back as the followup act to Jeter's class, if overdone to compensate and divert attention obviously, act?

Damn Yankees if they let that happen!

and if I'm a Yankee opponent and a pitcher i'm gonna throw inside, 'way inside, every time he comes to the plate, at least once an at bat.

oops, that one got away.

AROD, stay home and play with yourself.

We're done here with you.

Think about becomin' a good human being.

Ned Yost, Faux Pas Manager who Won

NED YOST

made the worst bullpen management call in wildcard history the other night.
and his team won the game.

in part, because

other than that horrendous bad substitution for Big Game James with young Ventura, Yost's hitting and running management decisions were impeccable.

his good decisions outweighed his faux pas in this one.

according to KC bloggers i have read, Yost has a history of pissin' off fans with bad bullpen management.

does it matter?

KC still alive in the postseason.
