Pablo Sandoval, the player most compared to Kung Fu Panda, had THREE homeruns last night. TWO of those were off "the best pitcher" in baseball, Justin Verlander. Add Barry Zito suddenly returning to his Cy Young award-winning form from several years back during the SAME game and you suddenly have San Francisco looking like the big favorite to win the World Series.
And at this point, I'm already rooting for them to beat the Tigers. San Fran crushed the Tigers last night and you always have to wonder if Detroit got a little stale with their long layoff. Yes, they played some practice games over the weekend against their minor league players, but that simply cannot be compared to the Giants playing their hearts out with adrenaline pumping while coming back to beat the Cardinals.
If momentum in sports is real thing, The Giants clearly have it.
I tend to believe momentum is only as good as your next pitching performance. Tonight's game could be a totally different story, and if it is, we could be settling in to a pretty entertaining World Series.
