Madison Bumgarner will pitch Game 2 of the World Series for San Francisco on Thursday, giving the Giants back-to-back lefties after Barry Zito goes in the opener against the Detroit Tigers.
The San Francisco Giants have a lot of priorities on their checklist for their matchup against the Detroit Tigers in the World Series.
Odds-makers may have made the Detroit Tigers the early favorites over our Giants on the field in the 2012 World Series, but San Francisco's foodie culture gives us the an expected edge in ballpark bites. Here's a look at how San Francisco's AT&T Park and Detroit's Comerica Park stack up on snacks.
Why in the world did anyone ever count out the Giants, who are now headed to their second World Series appearance in the last three years?
"I'll have to learn a lot about them real soon, to be honest," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said late Monday night. "I was totally focused on [the Cardinals]. And now we have to turn the page because we're playing a game here in a couple of days."
Game 1 of the 2012 World Series features one former Cy Young award winner making $20 million against another former Cy Young award winner making $19 million. A pretty even match-up, right?
A unique pairing, too. Both franchises have been around for well over a century and are stacked with Hall of Famers - Willie Mays, Ty Cobb, Carl Hubbell, Al Kaline and many more - yet they've never faced each other in the postseason.
Max Scherzer capped a stupendous stretch for Detroit's rotation, and the Tigers won their second pennant in seven years by beating the Yankees 8-1 Thursday for a four-game sweep of the AL championship series.
The Oakland A's got a standing ovation from fans at the Coliseum Thursday night after their loss to the Detroit Tigers in the division series ended their season. "It was a great ride," John Madden told the KCBS morning crew.
While the San Francisco Giants were extremely lucky to not have to face their opponent's best pitcher in the playoffs this week due to a random injury, their counterparts in the East Bay were tremendously unfortunate to see the best pitcher on the planet twice -- so it didn't end well for the Oakland Athletics Thursday night, as they lost Game Five of their playoff series to see their season end all too soon.
Both the Giants and A's have come back from a two game deficit to tie the best of five division series. The A's were down two runs in the bottom of the ninth before they scored three runs to shock the Tigers Wednesday night.
No one should ever doubt the 2012 Oakland Athletics again, not after Wednesday night's three-run ninth inning that shocked the Detroit Tigers and even up the teams' American League Division Series at two games apiece. Game Five will be Thursday night at the O.co Coliseum, with the winner advancing to the AL Championship Series.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin is hoping rookie right-hander A.J. Griffin can help the A's force a deciding Game 5.
The A's needed their veterans to lead the way in Game Three at the O.co Coliseum tonight, and that's just what happened. Brett Anderson and Grant Balfour put forth the pitching bookends, and Coco Crisp supplied the offense and the defense for Oakland in a big 2-0 victory.
The Tigers lead 2-0 and are one win from advancing to a second straight AL championship series as the Athletics return to Oakland.
The Oakland A's lost the first two games of their American League Division Series on the road to the Detroit Tigers, but now they come back home for the rest of the series. It'll be up to these young Athletics to extend this series as long as they can at the Coliseum.
The Detroit Tigers beat the Oakland Athletics, 5-4, Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series.
The Oakland A's certainly don't want to return to Oakland down two games to none, so the team will have to show the season-long resiliency they've demonstrated all of 2012 on Sunday at Comerica Park. Rookie Tommy Milone gets the ball for the team as they look to even up their playoff series with the Tigers.
The Oakland Athletics are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2006, and they have a chance to get some revenge on the team that knocked them out in the ALCS that year: the Detroit Tigers. But it won't be easy in Game 1 against Justin Verlander.
Fans were lining up in droves for tickets after the A's clinched the AL West on Wednesday.
If the A's win their last game of the season against the Texas Rangers at the Coliseum Wednesday afternoon, they'll be the champions of the AL West.
To former A's and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, playing for a pennant contender can be the tipping point in picking an MVP.
Seth Smith homered, doubled and drove in four runs, and the Oakland Athletics avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Detroit Tigers 12-4 Thursday in a matchup of AL playoff contenders.
The Oakland Athletics are in much better shape than the Detroit Tigers in regards to the postseason race, though that easily could change considering each team's schedule over the final two weeks.
