    Have to say that I'm disappointed that the Royals didn't win, but congrats to the giants. 3 WS Championships in the last 5 years is very impressive. It was definitely a treat to see Bumgarner pitch this series

    It would have been interesting to see the Royals 3rd base coach send the runner home for an in-the-park homerun in the 9th. I think they would have had him but you never know if the rely man is jacked up with emotion and ends up botching the throw. It would have been a great moment either way .... I think the coach is going to be thinking about that play for a long, long time.

    Billy Butler looks exactly what a Billy Butler should look like. Godspeed, Billy Butler.

    Wow, congrats to the Giants for #3 in 5 years. Truly impressive.
    Bumgarner is the new Rivera when it comes to playoff dominance. Spectacular.
    I was wishing they sent Gordon for the drama of it but I think the right call was not sending him....

    And while Morris' game was the best WS performance that I can remember from watching I cannot believe that trumps a perfect game.

    The Giants have done it with underwhelming teams and that says more about their collective heart and about their manager/GM. Hell of a job!

    I really think gordon could have scored on that. He was halfway to third when they finally fielded it.

    No way. Gordon was out by a mile if they sent him home.

    It's funny how a lot of people this morning are saying they should have sent him in case the Giants made a mistake on the relay. Could you imagine the backlash on that 3B coach if he sends him and Gordon is out by 40 feet like he most likely would have been?? It was the right move.

    I'm not saying they should have sent him, I do think if he didn't let up he had a chance. It looked like he was slowing down already and almost halfway to third when they finally fielded it. If he was running full speed he could have made it close. That's a big ball park.

    agree with you here. when the shortstop gets the ball Gordon is just at 3rd. decent throw and he is out by 40 feet.

    i thought Yost fucked up bunting in the 5th after the leadoff hit against Bumgarner. if you were going to get him that was the spot. one on, no out and the top of the order up. you gave him an easy out there. didn't like it and too soon to play for a tie in my opinion.

    what can be said about Bumgarner. sucks for the Royals to basically get beat by one pitcher. what a performance. guy was barely challenged at all during the playoffs. Amazing effort by him. nothing to do but tip your cap there.

    congrats to the I'm Alive dude - know he is a big Giants fans. 3 titles in 5 years..fuckers.

    i thought this as well. but if he sent him, and he was thrown out by 30 feet (which probably would have happened), the coach would have lived with that much longer than not sending him.

    better strategy for the royals in the 9th: stop swinging at high fast balls that are eye level.

    Could you imagine the reaction if that happened? The internet would have exploded last night with people calling for the 3rd base coach's head.

    That would have been a much more effective strategy. I know Bumgarner was awesome, but some of these pitches these guys were swinging at weren't even close to the strike zone.

    How they didn't send him home is beyond me. This is the world series, there's 2 outs, make the Giants make the play. If the throw is there and on time, lay into Posey with everything you got.

    Joe was slurping Wainwright pretty hard in Game 5 of the NLCS, as well.

    Kershaw should back up to the podium when he gets his Cy.

    Exactly the point. It's game 7 of the world series and there are 2 outs!!! You don't send a guy home hoping for the other team to make a mistake. The 3B coach would have been crucified if he did that and Gordon was thrown out. I can't believe this is the big discussion today.

    not allowed to do that......it's called "The Posey Rule"

    Didn't realize how little I paid attention to baseball this past year until I saw who won the AL cy young award and said to myself "who is that?" Never heard of him.

    I pretty much HATE everything about the d**ger organization....always have, always will.

    that said, this is great. Clayton is so much more cut out to be a Giant. Oh well. I despise the rest of his team but he's cool. Even those meaningless Cy Youngs are cool (sorry, couldn't resist).

    always wondered how weird it would be to hang with your boys....when you're making $600,000 PER WEEK and they're working at the local bank. Hopefully, Clayton picks up the checks for pizza and sodas.

    P.S. my god, that is about the WHITEST bunch of dudes I have ever seen. I heard J Crew has a 25% off sale going on.
