@cicerone imposter,

Yeah, but in this case it's a new high rise that just got finished.

This must be that building they just finished. BTW, the square windows match.

Here's some hope for the Royals: every time they've lost the first game of the World Series at home, they've gone on to win the series.

@Region Philbis,

The pitching was the winner for the Giants. Not gonna see that again in our lifetime.

@cicerone imposter,

i think we will.

pitchers have the upper hand in baseball right now.

a generation ago, few relievers could hit 98 on the radar gun.

now, every team has two or three coming out of the bullpen on a daily basis...

All in all a great series between two great managers.

@Region Philbis,

It was the pitching for the Giants, but it was also the whole team that allowed it to win the World Series - three in five years. This ain't gonna happen again during our lifetimes.

Jeff Loria is an idiot.

@panzade,

A 5-yr -deal, maybe...but a 13-yr-deal is totally insane. It's not the $25m per year I'd have an issue with.

@Rockhead,

Yes, I like it. And as Bob Feller said “Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is.”
