Runners on first and second, no outs. Giants bunt, looks like its going to roll foul and stays fair so bases loaded and no outs. Crawford hits into a double play, but scores a one. That's all they get this inning.

That's the first "go-ahead double play" in a World Series game since 1981 (Mike Scioscia hit into one for Dodgers)

AND

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo
This is the first time that a team took a lead in the 7th inn or later of a World Series game on a ground-ball DP

Thought those were interesting. At least they're not an obscure ESPN bit of trivia that sounds arbitrary or stupid.

I lost coverage. Fox just went to a blank black screen on my TV? WTF

Weird. I still have it.

Bumgarner I believe has pitched 15 innings in the World Series without giving up a run.

[sunsfan1357]

Looks like the Giants are primed to take this.

[1987_Lakers]

I swear I think I'm a good luck charm for the Giants. I've been to 2 Giants games my entire life. My first was in 2010, they won the WS that year, my second game was this year when they clinched the division.

Yep.

How does that work, exactly? Do you have to have some sort of proof or d oyou just show up at Taco Bell and say I want a free taco?

That's what I'm guessing. I was curious and did a little research and there's over 10 Taco Bells within a 10 mile radius from where I live. Oh urban plight...

[1987_Lakers]

Must be really heartbreaking for Detroit to lose the first 2 games with their best pitchers, SF on the other hand haven't even had their 2 best pitchers on the mound yet.

[sunsfan1357]

Well I missed the championship parade in 2010, but I'll be sure to make it this time around.

You just ask for your free taco.
