The Cardinals gave it a good effort, but the Giants just couldn't be stopped. Every time it looked like we had them, they'd come right back. Some might argue about whether it was their good hitting or our poor pitching and/or fielding that led to each comeback, but that's probably a silly argument that could go on about lots of games during the year.

Now the Giants will face another team that seems to be unstoppable, the Royals. Like I said yesterday, one of these teams will set the record for most wins in a single postseason (I'm not counting game 163 tiebreaks as postseason) with 12. I suppose I'll be rooting for my home-state team, the Royals.

  1. 5% of the time it is a tie? :-) Let's just add those to KC's chances.
