Lol at MLB Network bitching about that strike 3 call on Desmond. His bat clearly went across the plate.

Bochy is a hell of a manager.
Could be on his way to a 4th World Series appearance.

Exactly. Eff the Cards and Giants. I wasn't rooting for any NL teams anyways, other than the Pirates. But I really hope the Cards/Giants not only lose the WS, but get swept, losing by 5+ runs each game, totally demoralizing their players and fanbases, sending their respective franchises into a 30+ yr span of losing the likes of which Major League baseball has never seen.

Reasons to root for the Giants against the Cardinals:
Bruce Bochy: One of the best managers in MLB. Seems like a good guy as well.
Tim Hudson: Need I say more?

Apparently Strasburg was available and Jordan Zimmerman would have pitched a Game 5. Wonder why Williams didn't use him.

Just glad the Nats are gone won't have to listen to BC and FS gush 19 times next year. Ok with a Royals or NL victory. After all the NL is better baseball.
Posey - Looks like Napoleon Dynamite
Panda - Fat
Blanco - Crotch chopped us with Melky
Crawford - Stupid hair
Romo - Punchable face
Their Fans - One of the most annoying fan bases ever. They all switch to the A's when the Giants aren't doing well.
Hudson/Pence - They're cool.
Can't stand any of the NL teams. Hoping KC wins and if they don't I'd like to see Baltimore get it.
Posey is the biggest whiner there is. He's a punk
Brian Sabaen is a whiner as well.
Eff them both

I feel the need to mention this again. MLB is secretly giving the Nats an undisclosed amount of money every year because their TV deal is bad, but the thing is the Nats were getting 29 million a year and the Braves were getting only 10-20 million. I wish someone would ask the commish why he is subsidizing a team with a 136 million dollar payroll. This is just flat out cheating. The Braves TV deal was negotiated and signed while for sale and sold under market value to a company owned by Time Warner. The Liberty CO Dirk McGirk admits he knew what he was getting into when buying the team but so did the Nats owners. Why is it then that they get subsidized? Why is it fair for teams to get 100+ million a year selling TV rights when others get 20% as much but it was unfair for the braves to get 40 million from TBS? Why didn't the Braves get any competitive balance picks the last few years, even the Cardinals got one.
If their reasons were legit why has MLB tried to hide the money paid to the Nats. It took someone leaking it to get out. Neither MLB or the Nats have denied it. We should at least know how much money it is. If it's 2-3 million I will only be upset based on principal but if it's something like 15-20 million I would **** bricks.
Edit - can't post links because I am on my phone. Just Google it.
