Going The Distance in the Fall Classic

I believe you might want to take a day off on Wednesday because that's how far this series will go. Last night the Giants did what they needed to do in scoring runs, getting base hits, and a never say die attitude. Who do you think has the momentum the Giants or the Royals? That will come after Sunday Night. There were many key hits last night but the key moment wasn't letting Kansas City have a lead going into the 7th inning. Going into the 7th innings of Game 2 and 3 the Royals were ahead in the scoreboard. That allowed Ned Yost to give the ball to Herrera, Davis, and Holland and shut down the lights. But last night the ball was given to the 21-  year old rookie Brandon Finnegan. He recently got selected by the Royals in the 2014 MLB Draft back in June. Yes MLB has a draft that is pretty boring... Anyways earlier this year he pitched for TCU in the College World Series making him the player ever to appear both in the World Series and the College World Series in the same year. Maybe he should have stayed in college because when he came in the game with the score 4-4 in the bottom of the 6th. He came out of it giving up three runs and now the score was 7-4. And you guessed it the Giants never looked back. And who was the winning pitcher for the Giants,  Ryan Vogelsong. No it was that Yusmerio Peit who has conintued to keep the Giants alive this year. He has thrown 12 shutout innings this postseason in three separate appearances. Considering the fact he was in the bullpen to start off the year. And how about the Panda. He is in a contract year and he's been going back to 2012 postseason where he was Mr. October that year. I mean sure he struggled in the late summer, but this is October and this is the World Series and he's rolling around flashing the leather that makes him a Gold Glove semi- finalist for the National League at the hot corner

And taking harder swings in and out of the strike zone getting some key hits. If the Panda and this team in general, do the same things that have won them two World Series Titles in four years. Will they get a 3rd in five years? We still have a long way to go but this series is not over by all means.
