Series Thread: Kansas City Royals vs San Francisco Giants

[msgkings322]

ummmm....whatever you say, sweetheart.

(and thanks for the thumbs down)

GO ROYALS!!!

Maybe I should ask this on the football board, but do you think I could find some good stuff on the football season at NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League ?

You seem to have a good handle on this stuff.

I'd bet everyone would, except you....as you're too busy trying to be funny and failing miserably at it.

But of course you're free to prefer the disney site...it's a small world in your small mind after all...

'Dynasty' is a pretty amorphous term. Sometimes it's obvious, like the late 1990s Yankees...but they won 4 titles in 5 years...3 is pretty close...

Are the late 80s A's a 'dynasty'? Early 70s A's? Are the Yankees (20s-30s, 50s, 90s) the only team that gets to use the term?

I think right now the top programs are the Giants, Cardinals and Red Sox although its possible that last year was the end of the run for the Red Sox. Or not. Hard to judge. Its not really a dynasty...a lot of times in the NBA, 2 teams will run the East or West for awhile without either being a dynasty. I think the difference between the Giants and Cardinals is that the Cardinals are a team that makes great GM decisions and everything trickles down from there. They always have a chance. The Giants, on the other hand, have a great coach and a great core. They might not always have a chance but when they are good, they are really hard to beat because they dont beat themselves. The Red Sox are a team of advantages and MIT nerds so unlike teams like the Angels, Dodgers and Yankees, they usually know how to get the most of those advantages.

Hey msg, if you're looking for a captain obvious angle...look no further than krukow & kiper....lol

2 peas in a pod of redundancy.

Maybe he meant female Giants fans?

Uhhh... I feel qualified to give a resounding "No" if that was the implication.

That whoooshing sound might be the KC brooms sweeping between your ears, dude...or maybe it's fear.... but it's definitely one or the other.

Are you gonna be able to navigate that site's advanced charts /graphs etc???

If I say no, will you help me?

of course, son......it's part of protocol.

:rollseyes:

 

[da55bums]

how much did you pay?

$200 per game, season ticket holder...just the 20 game package.


brother got game 2 and dad took game 6....we might have a wrestle off for game 7 but most likely dad will get it since he went to game 7 in 1985 also.

Amazing how it works. Haven't been to an NHL game in years and last night was handed a pass to an on-ice seat including gold club access (buffet, open bar, etc) to the Preds tonight. My sis works for a very rich dude who is out of town and his wife always gives her tickets when they can't go.

Shit, now what do I do? What any responsible lover of baseball would do, right?

Oh, did I guarantee a Giants win yet? I forget...

I'm jacked for this years Fall Classic. I think it's going to be a good one!

Royals in 6!

Brett will throw out the 1st pitch game 2

tonite is dedicated to our veterans. U.S. Army SSgt. Pedro Sotelo (retired) will throw out the first pitch before Tuesday's game. Sotelo was part of a special operations unit in the U.S. Army Reserves in 2003 and he currently volunteers at the local VA hospital. He also mentors veterans who have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Sotelo has lived in Kansas City for 23 years.

Tony Clark, a veteran who served in the Mariners, will sit in the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat for Game 1.

Local guy, R&R HOF guitarist and Giants fan, Carlos Santana will perform an instrumental version of the Star Spangled Banner before friday's Game 3. Not sure who will be throwing the ceremonial 1st pitch.

Can't wait for the games in San Fran. A couple pinch hit Willy Jacks are coming!!

 

[powerchord86]

Just a few more hours!

Look at that Giants lineup and tell me how in the hell they're in the World Series.

Look at that Giants lineup and tell me how in the hell they're in the World Series.

The Cardinals had Waino at 60% or so and Molina missed most of the series. The team the Giants faced probably finishes 4th in the NL Central.
The Nationals and the playoffs.
The Pirates had the wrong starter.


That, and they're experienced and dont beat themselves. And dat bullpen. And Posey. And Pence.

It's better than KC's lineup actually, look at the numbers. Only Blanco leading off is a problem, I honestly think if Pagan were still healthy the Giants go from slight underdogs to at least even money.

Also, pitching is what counts in the playoffs
