Here is the opening to my column about the Giants winning Game 3:
DETROIT
Excuse me for feeling confused. I attended Game 3 of the World Series Saturday night in Detroit, but I could have sworn it was Game 2 in San Francisco. I have the feeling I’ve seen all this before. You know, the Giants winning 2-0 and all that.
The games, or the game — help me here — go like this. The Giants pitch great. In this case, Ryan Vogelsong becomes a late-in-life Don Drysdale and makes the Detroit Tigers look like chumps, just like Barry Zito and Madison Bumgarner did. And Tim Lincecum comes in and looks like the superstar he used to be, and may be again. And the Giants’ pitching is the story of this, so far, lopsided series. Both Will Clark and Ron Wotus called Giants pitching “nails,” which, I assume, is a good thing. The Giants certainly have been sticking nails in the Tigers’ claws.

Giant pitching has been unwordly starting with Zito in St. Louis and never letting up .

Maybe the tigers aren’t getting enough to eat? Maybe they’ll be hungry enough tonight to wrestle some scraps out of the hands of the Giant zookeepers. Still, it will only be scraps. Then the Giants will lock them down in their cages and go home leaving the Tigers wondering what happened to their big steak dinner!

What ever happened to the red, white, and blue bunting
ballparks would put up during the World Series. Visually,
the parks look as they always do.

I am of the firm belief that the Tigers are not only frauds now exposed to the east coast press that had considered them gods,I also think the Hanshu Tigers would have put up more fight then the A.L. team.

..At least with Hanshu,it would have been a REAL “World Series” to boot.

I never understood the crowning of the Tigers by almost every member of the press and baseball. Vegas, too; the Giants were huge underdogs. Together with the Cardinals, the Tigers had the worst record of any playoff team and wouldn’t have even made it if the White Sox hadn’t completely collapsed in September. Just like in 2010, it exposes the East Coast bias and lack of respect and knowledge that the national media have for the Giants. If the Giants win (it’s not over yet), can’t wait for all the stories about how the Melky/All Star Game put them over the top. Pathetic.
