Maybe it’s just me but there are several unfamiliar names on the Giants roster tonight. And I have to admit that somehow, this game feels… like a wednesday? Not the actual day of the week but some sort of middle of the duration hump that is lacking in energy. I would love for the game itself to prove that feeling wrong.

Ok, Bumgarner really had a great outting tonight – as a rookie in the World Series it’s hard enough just to start. But he’s the 4th youngest pitcher in the history of the game to get the WIN in a WS game much less go 8 innings of shutout baseball. Good job Giants – let’s see what happens tomorrow!
