Balboni, a Giants advance scout, was digging the story of the 2014 Royals, who ended the franchise's 28-year postseason drought, at least until it became obvious they'd win the American league pennant and be the final obstacle for the Giants' third

The San Francisco Giants took the first game of the NLCS in AT&T Park, 5-4 last night, can they go up 3-1 tonight? Can the St. Louis Cardinals even things up? Shelby Miller vs Ryan Vogelsong.

"I don't know if I can hold any more than that. I had to keep it going though, because we seem to keep winning. We don't want to change anything up." Good lord, no, don't change a thing! Keep everything exactly the same, so we can head into the World 

Very Affeldtian. The Bovada sports book has installed the Giants as teensy-weensy underdogs in the World Series, at even money. They have the Royals at 5-6 favorites. Bovada had the Rangers and Tigers as huge favorites over the Giants in 2010 and 2012.
