Master  1585    Folsom (Sacramento), CA |  Subject: World Series threadFrom everything I have heard in the media over the last 2 days, the Giants really didn't even need to show up today. Verlander was going to dominate them anyways and they had no chance with Zito on the mound. Hmm... Baseball sure is a funny game. |

Regular 1023 Madrid | Subject: RE: World Series thread The thing is Verlander possibly more so than any other pitcher gets the benefit of a lot of calls that are off the plate. Go back and have a look at his previous game against the Yankees for a good example. last night he wasn't getting those calls and he becomes just another guy with a 95 mph fastball. OK maybe a little better than that but he still becomes a lot more hittable... |

OK maybe a little better than that but he still becomes a lot more hittable... I agree with this 100%. Verlander is a heck of a pitcher, and because of that he typically gets a big strike zone. I thought the guy behind the plate last night was beyond exceptional. A very tight and correct strike zone on both sides all night. After the Cards vs Giants series, I was seriously questioning the eye sight of the umps. Last night was a clinic to other umps out there on what the strike zone is. Verlander was also missing up a lot, and Pablo just killed it. Not really mistakes by Verlander. Good think SF didn't listen to EVERYONE who said not to show up because JV was going to obliterate them. |

Regular 1023 Madrid | Subject: RE: World Series thread How about Fister taking one off the head and still game on. Great game if you like pitchers duels. Umpires making good calls. Gotta love the Giants mojo. See how it goes in Motown now... |

Expert 1121 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: World Series thread I must say, some most impressive work being done by the Giants so far. Hat's off to them. Will be interesting to see how it goes in the Motor City. |

Master 2277 Lake Norman, NC | Subject: RE: World Series thread The root cause is simple... Whatever bat-killing disease the Yankees suffered in the penant, the Tigers caught and their bats died in the series. It's to be expected with A-hole-Rod, but I've never seen two teams have such a total offensive collapse! Wow!
