Yes, Justin Verlander got owned by Pablo Sandoval on Wednesday night. And this was probably the best way for Giants fans to rub it in. A couple of days after Sandoval became just the fourth player in Major League Baseball history to hit three home runs in a World Series game -- two of them off Verlander, who was uncharacteristically bad in giving up five earned runs over four innings in Game 1 -- the Internet had its fun. Michael Reyes, who appears to be a legitimate photographer, tweeted a photo of Verlander wearing a shirt that says "property of...

Headed into last night, the Tigers were the favorites to win the World Series in large part because they had Justin Verlander, and people tend to favor teams who have ace starters in the playoffs. Last night, however, Justin Verlander did not pitch like an ace, and the Tigers jumped on him for five runs in four innings of work – as many as he’d allowed in his previous seven...

We keep preaching to you guys that the World Series might be boring TV when compared to NFL football games, but some of the best stories come from baseball maniacs. Take this chick, Dawn Price. She was all smiles yesterday even after being arrested for snagging one of Pablo Sandoval’s home runs.
Read this. Please. (She hid the ball down her pants.)

Pablo Sandoval named World Series MVP
DETROIT (AP) -- Pablo Sandoval not only has baseball's neatest nickname, Kung Fu Panda has a World Series MVP award to go along with it.
Sandoval took home the trophy following the San Francisco Giants' sweep of Detroit, hitting .500 with three home runs, a double and four RBIs in 16 Series at-bats.

Despite Pablo Sandoval’s three home-run performance and the shellacking of Justin Verlander, the television ratings for Game 1 of the World Series were a dismal 8.8 overnight, which is down 8% from last year’s World Series. It was the lowest-rated Game 1 ever. Game 2 of the World Series also received an 8.8 overnight rating, which is down 12% from last year. Any predictions for...

Yes, Justin, weALL, remember what Pablo Sandoval did to you in Game 1 of the World Series. For those of you who are too stupid to watch baseball, Sandoval jacked three homeruns off of the Tigers, tying the World Series record set by Babe Ruth and since replicated by Reggie Jackson, Albert Pujols, and the Panda himself. Two of which came off of the reigning MVP and CY Young winner...

Yesterday’s game was all sorts of crazy, and I think that’s best illustrated by the fact that the following sentence is a perfectly valid, accurate arrangement of words: Barry Zito singled off Justin Verlander in the fourth inning to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in Game One of the World Series. Let’s see here…

Two World Series championships in three years? That’s unheard of. Not since the Yankees rolled through three of three in 1998-2000 has anyone produced what qualifies as dominance these days. These San Francisco Giants are relative newcomers to the revolving door of recent World Series winners but they certainly have a handle on how it’s done these days and believe they’ve established...

In 2010, the Rangers had the dominant Cliff Lee and were poised to beat the Giants in the World Series. Five games later, something terrible happened that I won't relive.
Fast forward two years: The Tigers have perhaps the best right-handed pitcher in the game in Justin Verlander and the Giants' have been living on the edge the entire postseason.

The Giants Play Team Baseball
Holy Cow! I’ve been riveted with each pitch, each run, and every stellar defensive play in the Giants’ World Series run. As they near the proverbial mountain top, the angle of their ascent stiffens and gravity’s pull grows exponentially: it gets harder from here on out.
The stats are compelling: since last Friday the Giants have outscored their opponents 30-4. I’ll leave...
