October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) I wonder who the MVP is. Not over yet.
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 09:11 PM) For a team on the verge of their 3rd title in 5 years, the Giants really don't get a lot of pub. That's because of the east coast bias.
October 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:19 PM) I think I would have just sent him. and Perez has no chance here...right Would have been really close and quite possibly the most exciting play in baseball history.
October 30, 201411 yr 3 World Series wins in 5 years is awesome for SF..........Sox cannot even make a wildcard 3 out of 5 years.
October 30, 201411 yr Official scorer gave Madison the win instead of the save, 3-0, 21 IP, 1 ER, wow. I feel bad for KC fans, they deserve a title, but seeing Hosmer sulk and be upset made me remember why I rooted for the Giants. (see greg's post above) Bulldog Peavy has won two World Series since leaving the White Sox, what a leader in the clubhouse!
October 30, 201411 yr f*** the Royals. SF had a really likable team and wow, what a coming out party for Bumgarner. With Lincecum and Cain around, he always had to share the spotlight. Not this time. Unforgettable playoff performance.
October 30, 201411 yr Peavy is trash. I don't know what it is about the guy but he's just not a winner.

October 30, 201411 yr My friend just said this was one of the most intense series of the past decade and that the Giants were the underdog. No. This was one of the worst World Series of the past decade and the Giants were certainly not the decade.
October 30, 201411 yr Bumgarner's performance was incredible. 1 run over 20+ innings. Not to mention 5 innings in game 7. And I think Gordon could have scored had he ran harder on that error by Blanco. He got caught in between in the worst possible situation. It didn't help that the LFer bobbled the ball on the warning track.

No. This was one of the worst World Series of the past decade and the Giants were certainly not the decade. I could see why the Giants could be the underdog with the Royals steamrolling there way into the world series.
October 30, 201411 yr Author If I had to pick one signature moment of this Series, it has to be Panik's double play. Other than that, this was all Bumgarner. Great performance. God damn Reds just had to win one game out of three at home in 2012. Now we're stuck with the even year thing for the next couple years.

I think this was a fabulous World Series, it was very exciting and was a fitting end to an exciting playoffs for MLB. I'm sad it had to end.

No. This was one of the worst World Series of the past decade and the Giants were certainly not the decade. The wild card game, Game #4 when the Royals had a 4-1 lead and held it into the 6th....then any time a visiting team wins on the road is pretty incredible and just doesn't happen very often. Bumgarner deserves all the praise he's going to get...and has his name right up there in lights with Kershaw and ahead of Sale until Chris can perform like that on the big stage of post-season play (something Kershaw has consistently failed to do a number of times now). Same for Sandoval (running, who would have thunk it) and Pence, as Posey just disappeared. Then you have Belt and Morse. Just shows you in the post-season that you can get by with one true ace and a solid bullpen. Even though Machi and Strickland were garbage, Lopez, Affeldt, Romo and Casilla all got the job done.
