Down 2-0 heading to cincy and a few weeks later we were popping bottles in Detroit. Series aint over yet. Its been a close/terrific series so far. I have tons of respect for the Nats. I miss FP Santangelo in the booth with Kruk and Kuip. Hell I even still have my Matt Wiliiams baseball cards. Not trying to troll...but reading this post made me appreciate what the Giants do even more. We defy logic and straight up perform. Here is to a great series this season..and may more to come. #orangeoctober slantedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891882370531819955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-47052550060711980982014-10-05T01:14:14.844-07:002014-10-05T01:14:14.844-07:00Ummmm.....WRONG!

Amateur move making predictions based on regular season inclings. Nats are a great regular season squad and have a great future. Giants are battle tested and got the hardware to back it up.

Whe...That's it, I've had it with this crap. Where's my statistical breakdown of a certain craigslist post? What's a guy gotta do? Huh Harper, huh?<br /><br />My prediction, the Nats in 5. During the series I predict fistacuffs between my old man and me. Sure he's in his 60's and has had a couple of heart attacks, but if I have to hear one more time about how Bryce Harper is no Willie Mays, it's on. Here's a hint Dad: NO ONE IS WILLIE MAYS. <br /><br />So yeah, in game 5 Storen blows the save, but in an odd twist of fate, he's forced to bat in the bottom of the inning and goes all Gio swings from his heels, closes his eyes and hits one down the left field line that bounces in and out of Michael "They Sing Take On Me Better in San Francisco" Morse's glove. Ballgame, bang zoom.

I think we'll split these first two at home and lose to Bum on the road. Gio will come up solid in game 4, but it won't be a great performance -- he'll get plenty of run support.
