it's the giants

Saturday's game is sure to be the most over-hyped in either of the championship series, featuring Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum. It's Jonathan Sanchez, though, who makes me nervous. The Phillies are still, I believe, the better team, but that doesn't mean they will win. I could easily see the Giants taking the series. H20 have pretty pedestrian numbers against the Giants, odd in that they are not much of an offensive team. On the other hand, neither this year are the Phillies. Maybe the 103.5-mph Aroldis Chapman offering that Carlos Ruiz smacked Sunday night for a ringing double is a portent. That was, supposedly, the fastest pitch ever hit.
