But, Joe Morgan, if Cliff Lee can't win a nothing to nothing game
how is it that you expect Felix to?
That's a curveball, Tim. Good to know you can recognize it.

"A very very smart, world championship winning type play right there"
not sure if Joe was referring to the bunt or the out by Lee
WPA didn't change because of the bunt.
And considering Huff is an above average hitter it probably made things a little worse.
I am willing to overlook WPA in this situation
there is a point at which game theory needs to override close WPA scenarios
I want the Giants to win but I do not want to see Cliff Lee fail.

The puns begin!
On the ESPN.com main page: “Giant Moment”. From ESPN’s MLB page: “Land of the Giants”. From MLB.com: “Giants Win the Series! Giants Win the Series!”-oh wait, that’s not a pun.
Should have gone with "They Might be Giants."

Brian Sabean gave Barry Zito 7 years and $126M, and Aaron Roward 5 years and $60M and now he's a World Champion.

Heh.
@bcondotta: When Lincecum blows out his elbow when he’s 57 years old, though, you’ll be glad the Mariners didn’t draft him.
I'm pretty sure Seattle will never win the World Series
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Ugh
No, we will win one day. So will the Nationals, maybe.
I just hope it happens while I’m still alive. It might not come until I’m that 80 year old woman in San Francisco whooping it up, but it will happen.

Why was the Jimi Hendrix website in the WS closing credits?
I don’t get it. Is it because Hendrix and Lincecum are the only two good things ever to come out of Renton?
Are you in an abusive relationship with the Seattle Mariners?
Soooo when do we find out if Felix wins the Cy Young?
I’d like to close the book completely on 2010 and I feel like that’s the one final chapter.

You're more than welcome.
The Giants have been my bandwagon team for most of the season (dammit, Mariners!) but even if they weren’t I’d have been rooting for you guys over the Rangers, no question.

I have to say, the posts on this board have been second to none all off season. I’ll be up in Seattle in July for a wedding, and I hope to god that there is a home game.
