The San Francisco Giants are a come back team this post season. Being down two games to none against the Cincinnati Reds playing at Great American Ball park, they came back with a vengeance. Winning three games in a row to move onto the next series. With the strength of the Giants bullpen, they moved through the Reds lineup to take the series. Buster Posey (The Giants catcher) proved clutch by knocking in a grand slam late in the game to clinch the fifth game of the Reds/Giants series.
Now they are poised to do the same to the St. Louis Cardinals (last years World Series Champions). Tying the game up one to one, they are headed to St. Louis to advance to the next round.
A student at California State University of Los Angeles, Bradley Perez, talked to me about the Giants push in the playoffs.

Is he a member of your fraternity? Good post I am sure whatever team who deserves to win will win. I don't watch sports that often, but out of every world series, superbowl, or NBA championship the team that deserves to win usually does.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know about the first round. That they were down 0-2 after having home-field advantage. That's pretty impressive. Next series must have been just as exciting to a Giants fan. And now they're up 2 games, going into the World Series as the underdogs. I watched most of the first game, and was glad to see another Southern Californian, Barry Zito pitch a second consecutive gem of a game. Five innings was all that was needed; how often do you see one Cy Young Award winner hand the ball to another Cy Young Award winner to take the reign for you? That was a good first game.
ReplyDeleteTonight, I only watched three innings, and bother pitchers dueled out during that time. This is a great series your covering! Good stuff!
