57 of the first 79 votes (72 percent) go the Rangers way?
I assume they are book favorites in Vegas, too, or I wouldn't have heard Nolan Ryan and Ron Washington on teh radio this morning procliming "we're not the favorrites. We shouldn't be the favorites." They were practically genuflecting before their inevitable comquerors, the Mighty Giants ...
That's what Sabean always does anyway, scoop up "proven veterans.". But now the wheel has turned so far that there's a real payoff...
Been reading Slate, Magpie?
I'm not buying it. Sure, Huff & Burrell are a huge part of the Giants success this season, but show me a winning team that doesn't take little gambles like those. The rest of the keys to the Giants success - Lincecum, Cain, Wilson, Posey, Torres, Jonathan Sanchez, Bumgarner - are not at all "proven veterans" that Sabean has amassed.
Okay, two days later, the numbers now run 71.9 percent Rangers, which is almost precisely where it was in my original post. Seriously, people, thou doth jinxeth thine American League champion brethren!
