Again I'm remembering an old observation from George F. Will: The presidential elections come every four years. The World Series is played every year. What a wonderful country America is.

Now, who the hell do you root for in the Serious? Neither team has won a Serious at their present addresses, they're both very likeable teams, but the Giants at least have some rings in their ancient past. This one's a toughie.

Maybe tough for those in Kansas or Idaho but I'm sure Texans and Californians know what is up.

The Giants gotta keep that pitcher Sanchez on the bench. He’s not up to the task, hitting a batter almost every game he pitches.

Well, I'm rooting for the Giants.

I've watched them all year and they are dramatic entertainment par excellence. The Masters of the one-run game and simply amazing pitching...and first-rate, mistake free defense.

If you don't score at least 4 runs against them it's over 90% probable you will lose.

The Giants give up runs G R U D G I N G L Y.
