Awesome performance by Madison Bumgarner in the post-season, in this series, and in relief tonight in Game 7. He's been a beast in October, NLCS and World Series MVP, and he's now got 4 World Series wins and 1 World Series save with an unholy 0.25 ERA in the big games in 2010, 2012 and now 2014. The most dominant October performance I've ever seen by a pitcher. The regular season may belong to Clayton Kershaw and Felix Hernandez, but in the post-season Bumgarner's only competition comes from pitchers in the all-time record books. And to cap it off, he's just 25 - younger than both the NL and AL rookies of the year.

Terrific World Series - the Royals are a seriously good team, outstanding bullpen, defense, team speed. The Giants have a comparable bullpen, but Peavy and Hudson both are well past their primes and Travis Ishikawa playing out of position is a butcher in the outfield. Could easily have gone the other way, and the Giants would have had no business in any of the post-season series were it not for Bumgarner.

Nah. In the end of it to have gone the other way easily then Royals would have had to win one game against Madison. Which was unlikely. Losing Game 4 hurt. Bottomline,...Madison, Madison,Madison, Madison. had Royals had the lead when he came in there might have been a chance, but no way after he came in.

I think Tim Lincecum and Jake Peavy are the players with the highest salaries on the Giants roster--and did not do much to help them win the series.

Game 7 might have been a lot different if they did not have the designated hitter when playing WS games in an AL team's ballpark.

One of the best moments was in Game 6 when they interviewed some KC Royals fans who were there with their 7-day-old daughter. They had to leave Game 1 because the mother started to go into labor.
