Holy Shit!!!  I didn't even notice that!!!  Great call.  Hopefully this series will go 7 as well.  If it does I think you might be on to something.  Go Giants by the way!!!  I was at the game last night and it was pretty awesome.    I was able to go on the field at the end of the game.......memorable to say the least.

looks like we could be on the verge of a STL/DET series

we've had a Bos/STL as well a few yearsa go, that didnt go 7.

doesn't matter, whether New York or St. Louis wins, we've got ourselves another RBI classic on the way.  Now may be a good time for me to post that I've been a diehard Detroit fan since I was 6 years old, and these past few weeks have been the best weeks in my life for following baseball.  Loving every minute of it.
