With 95 pitches, do they send him out for the 8th?

I feel Royals win this is 7. I think they take both at home.

Just like 1985 winning the last 2?

I don't see it. Giants hitters know everything about every decent Royals pitcher.

Giants aren't flinching....Royals are finally starting to.

KC saying that the giants ahve been watering down the area at first too much......

Been watching some of the series but hard to get into for whatever reasons.

They barely got anybody to 1st yesterday.

People are talking today like it is over. Peavy wasn't great in game 2. Ventura was pretty good. Royals are -140 tomorrow and will be even money for game 7 if it is Guthrie and Hudson again.

Good for them. That's the whole point of playing at home, you get to control some of the conditions you want to play in.

Great play by Escobar to score from 2nd on a one out bloop hit to CF.

I wouldn't use Petit!!!!! He's going to be needed tomorrow.

Giants CF playing ridiculously deep....cost them 2 hits and a run so far. Playing IF in cost one as well.

This one is over. See you tomorrow. Peavy was dreadful.

Whatever the opposite of clutch is...that is what we saw. I was hoping for a good one tonight. Hopefully game 7 is a classic.

Petit's 3 innings Saturday took enough out of him that he didn't have it tonight.

I'm thinking for game 7 Hudson starts and gets the quick hook for MadBum to see how far he can go.

Peavy should have been covering first instead of trying to tell Belt where the play wasn't. That's two games the big play was the pitcher didn't cover his responsibility to make the play at first.

I simply never would've started Peavy. I would've went with Hudson and then Lincecum or Vogelsong.

Bumgarner and Petit tomorrow.

Hudson tomorrow might do ok...but he doesn't really have anything to fool KC, Bumgarner just changes the mentality of KC.

My goal tonight would be to get to their nasty boys to take something from them tomorrow...maybe

Great AB by Panik to walk on the 11th pitch -- every pitch he swung at was in the strike zone, and every pitch he took after 2 strikes was a ball. Then over anxious Posey GIDP to take them out of bases loaded and 1 out. So much for comeback hopes!

Panik really does so many things very well.
