Game 2

Not sure if Vlad makes that last catch in right.

Vlad being out of the game is changing the defense, there have been several plays by Cruz that Vlad may not have gotten.

Who would have thought it would be a pitching duel with Wilson on the mound?

Vladimir would have made those catches...not that tough. Wilson throwing this well is no surprise. He's been like this since the allstar game save one start in NYC.

One 1/2 inch lip on the top of a gate keeps a ball from going out for a homerun. Giants seem to be real lucky. Still 0-0 after 4 1/2 innings.

Wow the Giants get lucky with Kinsler hitting the top of the center field fence and gets stranded @ 2b!

HR for the bottom of the lineup!

Big fly for Renteria. 1-0 Giants. Wilson missed up.

You know when pitchers have hitters guessing when you see all these check swings.

Big moment for Texas....Kinsler needs to deliver.

These are the situations that define a series.

Two out hits wins championships. That was huge right there. Hopefully they can shut down the Giants and get another shot.

Hopefully Not.

In the NY series we got those hits. Gotta keep battling.

I think if Young turns and sees the ball there he's on 3rd....am I wrong?

Tough one for Young, difficult to see where the ball was under/behind Ross. It may have scored a run with the ball in the dirt.

Kinsler may have hit his harder than Renteria but unfortunately for him, he hit it to the deepest part of the ballpark.

Good pitching almost always beats good hitting.

Better to be lucky than good sometimes....like tonight.

Been looking for a replacement fan belt for my ol' Chrysler today. Having a dickens of a time finding the right one. Give up trying and turn on the game. What do I see? The belt I need! Right there slung around Wilson's neck! Go figure. I wonder if he can spare it?

Renteria hit a BOMB. Kinsler only doubled.

Another good move by Bochy, taking out Burrell, moving Ross to Left Field and putting in Schierholtz to Right Field.

I would take Burrell out of the line up period. But thats just me.

Kinsler hit his ball better, it was just to the wrong part of the field. The HR ball is a fly out to center.

I think you are right, distance wise Kinsler may have hit it further.

Location, Location, Location!

This was the kind of game I expected yesterday.

Burrell has been pretty effective with the long ball.....you know Chicks like the long ball!

Wayne Gretsky needs to get rid of that 1980s haircut.

Ole Matt needs a little bit of a trim as well imo.

I smell trouble.

He needs to have a talk with Lincecum on modern hairstyles, I guess...

When Fresno State made their run through the playoffs in 2008 to the National Championship, none of them would get a haircut! They were pretty bad for their Championship picture.

Give the pen a little extra time to get ready. Aint nothin wrong with his finger.

So the Texas bullpen stinks, huh coach?

Must be a hell of a blister to exit a World Series game.

Coaches playing games?

Wilson gave Darren Oliver Gotwood's fanbelt during the commercials!

No no no I love their bull pen. Especially #54!!!!!!!

Shocked Oliver is in to pitch to 7-8-9 hitters with all the fireballers down in the pen.....

I guess Huff was concerned about the call down the first base line until Uribe RBI's Ross in from second base!

54? You mean 64, Ogando?
