Game Thread: Bumgarner vs Syndergaard

[Guy Incognito]

Woooooooooooooooooooooo!

/Cheering for Giants

 

[craigk217]

Cubs better sweep those first 2 games in Wrigley. I would not want to face this guy going to SF either down 0-2 or series even at 1.

I'm sorta relishing Samardzija in that series. That's gonna be interesting.

Are the Giants wearing goggles so Bumgarner doesn't know they're looking at him?

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Mets should have traded for Kike Hernandez. Bumgarner would have been out of the game by the 6th inning.

Samardjia and gillaspie starting a playoff gm. Both were shitty white sox starters opening day last yr

Yeah, but I always liked Connor. I thought, for awhile there, he might be our 'solution' at 3B. Didn't pan out.

Just happy to see him get his moment, tonite.

What a game. Kudos to both teams. That's what wildcard games should be.

What a GREAT kickoff to the 2016 postseason. I hope all the series are as dramatic as these WC games have been.

Bumgarner is the greatest postseason pitcher in history. Discuss.

 

[msgkings322]

The real question: is this Giants team built to win a longer series? I'm very doubtful

Yes because they have a very good 1-4 rotation.

There's no doubt the Cubs are the better team, in all facets except maybe starting pitching which may be a wash. But it's a short series, which helps the underdog a bit. And the Cubs are cursed....how better to stay cursed than to lose to a major underdog?

In the context of a 162 game season, a seven game series is short. This is the playoffs. Anything can happen, and you KNOW this.

The first team to win 11 games is going to party. All eight are capable of a run. Fire it up.

Totally works for me!

The Giants offense is awful. They stand no chance against the Cubs.

How can he be remembered when he can't even be looked at?

Only overrated Cubans aren't allowed to look upon his glory.

Kiss the rings, Dukakis.

You know you Dodgers don't want any part of the Giants....

They didn't stand a chance against the Braves, Phillies, Rangers, Reds, Cardinals, Tigers, Pirates, Nationals, Cardinals, and Royals either. So there's that.

Heck. Karros is STILL picking the Rangers to win the Series in '10...

This just in: Duck the Fodgers.

Way to get swept. The Mutts thank you.

 

[Sportsguy9695]

looks like the cubs are gonna have there hands full with bumgarner

 

[Chewbaccer]

Giants lose after coughing up a MadBum gem. That's my prediction, but it's not wise to bet against the Giants in the playoffs.

LOL @ predicting the Giants lose a playoff series in an even year.
