  • KERSHAW WINS CY YOUNG

    KERSHAW WINS CY YOUNG

     Clayton Kershaw won the NL Cy Young for the third time in his career on Wednesday, he also won in 2011 and 2013. Kershaw was 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA to lead the Dodgers to their 2nd straight NL West title. The stud Los Angeles pitcher also threw 239 strikeouts and a no-hitter against the Rockies on June 18th. Kershaw received all 30 first-place votes. Johnny Cueto finished 2nd and Adam Wainwright finished 3rd. “You sit back and I try to think about where I was five years ago, where I was six years ago just starting out. If you would have told me I was in that kind of company, I would have laughed at you,” Kershaw said. “I never would have thought something like this could have happened. It’s overwhelming, it really is.”

  • GIANTS WIN WORLD SERIES

    GIANTS WIN WORLD SERIES

    When Madison Bumgarner entered the game with a 3-2 lead, you might as well have turned off the TV and went to bed. “I wasn’t thinking about innings or pitch count. I was just thinking about getting outs, getting outs, until I couldn’t get them anymore and we needed someone else,” Bumgarner said. With a man on third for the Royals in the bottom of the 9th, Kansas City couldn’t get the runner across, and the Giants won the World Series for the third time in five years. Dynasty Anyone?  “When it got by him, I had a smile on my face. I thought maybe I could score, but he got to it quickly enough,” Gordon said of his last gasp hit. “I just put my head down and ran, almost fell around second base, was just waiting for (third-base coach Mike Jirschele) to give me the signal. It was a good hold. He had the ball in plenty of time.”From there, the Giants hoped for the best. “We just need one more out. We got this. Let’s do it,” Blanco he said he thought to himself.

  • ROYALS CRUSH GIANTS IN GAME 6, FORCE GAME 7

    ROYALS CRUSH GIANTS IN GAME 6, FORCE GAME 7

    Wow. The Kansas City Royals, a team down to their last gasp, fighting for their lives down 3-2 in the series and they put on a performance like that. The Royals demolished San Francisco 10-0. “This is what we all prepared for. This is why we play the game,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. So the question is. Will Bumgarner pitch in Game 7? “This guy is human. I mean, you can’t push him that much,” Bochy said. “He’ll be available if we need him, but to start him, I think that’s asking a lot.” So what’s your prediction for Game 7? “I had a very, very strong feeling that whoever won Game 6 was going to win Game 7,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We have to wait until tomorrow to see if my theory’s correct.”

  • BUMGARNER PITCHES SHUTOUT AS GAINTS TAKE SERIES LEAD

    BUMGARNER PITCHES SHUTOUT AS GAINTS TAKE SERIES LEAD

    Madison Bumgarner pitched a complete game, only giving up 4 hits and striking out 8 as the Giants cruised to a 5-0 win over the Kansas City Royals to take a 3-2 lead in the World Series before the series returns to Kansas City. “You know what? For some reason, I keep getting really lucky this time of year, so I’ll take it,” Bumgarner said. Bumgarner is 4-0 in the October classic with a .29 ERA. “He’s special, isn’t he?” manager Bruce Bochy said. “What a stud.”

  • GIANTS EVEN UP WORLD SERIES

    GIANTS EVEN UP WORLD SERIES

    Already down 2-1 in the series the Giants couldn’t be down 4-1 to the Kansas City Royals at home yet they were. But that didn’t stop them from coming back to stun the Royals by scoring 10 unanswered runs to win 11-4. “We never give up, that’s the thing,” said Sandoval, who shook off a stomach bug to be able to play in the game. “We’ve been doing it all year in these situations. We know how that feels.” Game 5 is Sunday. “This was a great ballgame, I thought, especially the way we came back,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “We had to win this game tonight no matter what,” said Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong
