MLB Playoffs

Pedant alert: The bunt was by Blanco.

Is the Giants’ Brian Wilson’s beard intended to draw any comparison to his Beach Boys namesake?

This is not looking good for Detroit.

No, he’s just completely nuts.

Is that intended to draw any comparison to his Beach Boys namesake? :slight_smile:

Think about this…
Have you ever seen both of them in the same place at the same time?

:wink:

When did Sergio Romo start to wear his beard that way?

As I recall, he started growing one back in 2010 at about the same time as Wilson. It used to be bigger and bushier than it is now, though it was never anywhere near whatever it is that Wilson has hanging off his chin.

I don’t want to be overconfident, but I can’t help feeling like the Tigers best chance to win this series just slipped away there in the 5th.

Bases loaded, Miguel Cabrera pops up. I’m done. Tigers don’t deserve to win, and they won’t. Time to watch some college f-ball.

I’m watching off my DVR and just a little behind, but that One Direction/Drew Brees commercial was hilarious.

Damn, Gregor Blanco is incredible.

Oh man, are Cubs fans ever jealous of Blanco’s catch at the stands.

I won’t spoil the ending for you, then :smiley:

Enough time has passed. garygnu, you’ve seen it already, right?

Wow, it’s hard to believe, after many years a Giants fan, we’re on the verge of a second championship in just three years - this feels great!

That said, the Tigers are a great team with a potent power-hitting offense and good starting pitching. The Giants had better not even think of letting up.

GO GIANTS!!

If there’s any team this postseason that understands not to count your chickens before they’ve hatched, it’s the Giants. And the same is of their fans. As a result, I’m somewhere between cautiously optimistic and pants-wettingly terrified.

Well, the Tigers have certainly laid enough eggs in this series…

(I usually try not to make snarky comments in these threads lest the Baseball Gods decide to smite my team in retribution, but the setup was just too good on this one)

I don’t think I was clear in my last post - I’m a Giants fan. Terrified is our ground state, and it’s compounded this year by the way through which we won the NLDS and NLCS. :slight_smile:

Oh no, you were clear enough. I know exactly how you feel :slight_smile:

And the Giants draw first blood.

Motor City is goin’ down. Shame they couldn’t make a series out of it.
