2010 World Series: San Francisco Giants vs. Texas Rangers

[White Chocolate]

Sunday...

game 1 is Wednesday...

how much time does the typical pitcher need?

4 days?

On average, they get 4. Pitchers can generally go on 3 days with no problem.

Cliff Lee is a man on a mission, and in the "year of the pitcher," he's the best of them all, so I say Rangers in 7.

I remember all those huge Dallas vs. San Fran football games years ago, the Dallas vs. Golden State NBA series a few years back, and here you have these two cities squaring off against one another in baseball.

Dunno why I just thought of that....

Also the Stars and Sharks had an epic playoff series in the NHL playoffs. It was in '07 I believe.

I seriously doubt Lee starts 3 games in a 7 game series unless there's a decent bit of travel time or days between games. That's a lot to ask of a pitcher, but he would definitely pitch in relief if need be. Regardless I don't even think it will be necessary. The Rangers offense is too good. I think they can handle that SF staff.

Lee and Lincecum would only be pitching 3 games if it goes 7 games.

2008. Game 6 went to 4 OT.

if Lee can pitch 1,4, & 7...then the Giants are going to have to win it in 6...

One thing to keep in mind. Assuming Lee and Lincecum go in game 4, game 5 is still in Texas. There's going to be 1 day travel betwen games 5 and 6. If it goes 7, they'd be going on the normal 4 days rest.

[AirGauge23]

This series will come down to Pitching (obviously), and small ball, and base running. Whoever does these things better will win.

that's my kinda party these days...lol



hope I can see the Ginger Ale bust out one more time...

Just realized the Giants are facing another AL West team in the World Series, first it was the A's in '89, the Angels in '02, & now the Rangers.

Third time's a charm.

[Go Getter]

No way. Go Rangers. Entice Lee to stay in Texas. We don't need him going to NY.

This.

You never know with baseball. Remember how people thought Lincecum vs. Holladay was going to be an epic duel...

[Gundress]

This is going to be greatest.

Rangers win in game 6.
