Madison Bumgarner (1-0, 3.55) vs. Tommy Hunter (0-1, 6.14).
COMMENTS: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a series! Want to learn how the Rangers won Game 3? Read all about it from one of the finest writers in the business:
- Washington's curious move works, and Rangers are back in business (Joe Posnanski, SI.com)
The Rangers can restore more sanity to the World Series by defeating Dagwood Bumstead — er, Madison Bumgarner — and getting the real Cliff Lee to show up for Game 5. But one thing at a time: A win tonight and we're all (bow)tied up.

Holy smokes, that is an awesome article by Joe Po'. Thanks for the find, Orel!
It's so lonely out here. I'm scared. Will someone hold my hand?
HATE
Duly noted, MLASC.
Sorry, I meant Tate, but I typo'd.
TATE.
That BK breakfast ad really may be the death of me. Whether it's the surly hippie flautist or the overly-joyful mail delivery guy, I want to kill Kill KILL everyone associated with this commercial. Or myself.
But on the smack thread last week you indicated you like those commercials. I'm getting mixed signals.
I feel like Dusty's playing hard to get.
Sorry, guys. You know I have a tough time sharing what's on my mind.
HATE AND CANDY.
Wish they made a HATE flavor in Fun Dip.
Finally I benefit from Favre's awfulness.
HATEKILLDIE GNATS!
From ESPN: "Just how unpredictable is this series? The team up 2-1 is only 41-40 in World Series Game 4s, a wash."
Favre may be done. Looksnlike broken jaw. Or lockjaw.
At least Aikman is pulling for the Rangers.
Great PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN! AWESOME support for the boys in blue! GO RANGERS!
@Dusty from 2:51
No inappropriate touching in the Game Thread!
Epale everyone!
@Josh now the song "Sex and Candy" is stuck in my head.
@Mathew I like the way you talk. I know the Great Pumpkin won't let us down, go Rangers!
Up jumps the devil!
Just practicing.
Greetings Everyone!!
Karina--I like the way Matthew talks, too. He said something the other day about the gnat fans going on about "Sweet Torture" and that it would only be sweet torture if they lost in games 6 or 7. I couldn't agree more!!
DIE GNATS
Epale, Karina!
We're currently tied at 68 in fantasy football. All your players have now played. I still have P Manning, Arian Foster, and that useless Colston yet to play. So you need all those guys to get zero points and in fact need someone to get negative points in order to get the win.
The Rogue Warrior is 1-0 against Dusty. Just saying.
I want to shove that flute straight up that surly hippie's ass.
Sorry I'm being unclear on my feelings around this commercial.
Why why why do they taunt me so??? Now there is a new, extended surly hippie flautist ad. * howls at the gods *
@Dusty this is my fault, I didn't dedicate enough time to my fantasy team this week and I woke up too late today. This is a clean match, don't worry!
Having said that, I'm crossing my fingers the Czar beats the Professor.
Matthew, if you are reading this, you should comment more, you already have the seal of approval of a couple of SoSG girls.
I just hate TV in general. That passing fad will never replace the radio.
T minus 60 minutes until I hide from Trick-or-Treaters.
(cries)
I got my Fox sports channels back. I can see the Lakers now.
(cries)
DIEGNATSDIEDIEDIEDIE
Hate bubbling up as we speak.
To make matters worse, all I have to drink here at in laws is Miller Lite.
DB,
Could be worse; could be Corona Light.
*shudders*
Another falling hero, great model, Jessica Stam, a Giants fan. I just made the vote not to see anything she's on ever again.
HATE
Lots of fly by night fans coming out of the woodwork.
It feels wrong to hate on Great Pumpkin night :(
Linus wouldn't approve
My god Lyle Lovett is ugly. And a shitty singer.
Surly factor: 4 of 5
Beer status: -2
Karina-
How is Halloween being celebrated in your neck of the woods?
Just turned on the TV, is that Joe Torre wearing a Yankees jacket?
Did karina say "hate?"
My world is upside down.
And now ladies and gentlemen, let's engage in another 5 minutes of jingoism and arrogant self-importance.
Mission Accomplished.
Wow, my hatred for Gnats even trumps my loathing for George W. Impressive, Gnats!
Is it safe to change the channel back?
@Dusty though it's not really tradition, our equivalent should be Carnival, Halloween is widely celebrated. All kindergartens celebrate it and there are parties everywhere, all this weekend. In fact, there might be lots of parties next week celebrating Halloween.
When I was in college, we used to celebrate Halloween big time, we put lots of effort organizing the party, we had prizes for the best costumes and we made over the top decorations. One year in particular we even got a real coffin and set up a cemetery in the yard, our names and epitaphs in tombstones, which we made from cardboard, they looked very real, we can get away with a LOT when we have paint, glue, cardboard and our hands working together :)
MY HATE IS UP AND RAGING
DIEGNATSDIE
Sounds like good clean fun, Karina. Have some "vampire blood" too (eg, red wine).
Bring dat shit Karen
DIEFUCKINGGNATSDIEDIEDIE
Is it too early to call for throwing at Buster Hymen?
@Dusty yes, it was. As you can tell, I love Halloween for several reasons. This year I didn't go to any party but I'm sure next year is going to be memorable.
Ah Dusty, no vampire blood for me, I'm more of a witch ;)
I do have to make my wish for The Great Pumpkin (I'm not ashamed to be a geek)
Nice walk for Andrus.
@JesseSanchezMLB Hope this AL crowd recognizes how good Posey is & how good he is going to be #mlbpulse
HATEDIEKILL
As much as I hate Pubey he is a good player.
rbnlaw, this is the Giants we're talking about, of course there's LOTS of RAGING HATE.
I like that E.A.
Balls.
@Czarhe he doesn't have anything compared to my son
(cries)
Unless he pulls a Carlos Santana (injury) or a Martin (incredible regression), Pubes will be a great player, and it kill me to say.
Damn, strikezone is ellusive tonight.
Straighten your mom out, Karen!
UIBB to Ross?
First trick or treaters just here. It's going to be a challenge controlling my raging HATE when handing out candy to cute little goblins.
DIEGNATSDIE
Pubey is still a gnat.
Did Bochy's 'stache grow noticably between innings? Dude was clean-shaven at 5p
Nice sack of Civil Trial.
Poor MB. She's starting the alleged rapist and I'm just going to mock him all night.
Give the ump some coke rage,R Wash.
That's an out, blue.
aint that some shit.
@Czar my son will always have 2007 :(
Unfortunately he won't have it again.
*opens front door*
*steals candy from kid*
Like the fact that mrs bush is keeping score. That's some good retro type shit I respect, even if she does look like her husband in drag.
@Czar your lack of faith is disturbing
It's also warranted.
Hope the bullpen has recovered. Hunter ain't going deep.
DIEGNATSDAMMITDIE
Jmarts over.
one good year isnt worth 3+ bad ones.
I don't like it when the Saints wear the black pants. They look like they're wearing unitards.
Hell yeah, god boy!
I love you, Josh Hamilton, I won't ever doubt your grit and hustle again.
Great catch Josh!!
HAMY!
YES!
Hooray for NA!
I love your sartorial commentary, Czar, for real :)
bulllllllllshittttttt
getting two different strikezones tonight.
Brawlin' in Nawlins'
100
You gotta be kidding.
Shaq is scaring me right now.
For a 0-0 game, there are certainly no indications that it will be a pitchers' duel.
Fuck
the giants are getting all the breaks that would tell you they are going to win.
FCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
shit
sigh
Well that sucked.
At least it's AL, so no pitcher for Texas.
im beginning to lose all faith in baseball
NicJ, please don't lose faith in baseball. Remember, this is a powerful offensive, a couple of runs is not much harm. We all are together in this, we can't lose faith in the good guys.
Fuck Yeah! Mario Brothers and bear cub up in this trick or treating bish!
Not out of this yet.
Score some fucking runs
Time to put some stick on it, Tejas.
Freddy Sanchez: Sno-Cone catch
Michael Young: ball goes off webbing
Kinda sums it all up.
We're still in this everyone. Karina is right. We are all in this together and the POWER of our HATE is a force that the gnats can't beat!!!
DIEGNATSDIE
That's a start.
Knock the shit out of the ball Vlady
Fucking shit man
DAMMIT
Time to switch to the laker game.
If I learned something of Palpatine and Darth Vader, it is that fear and hate can make anyone powerful.
Let's hate so much to give Darth Maul a run for his money.
HATE! (I'm with you sistah Karen!)
LOSEFUCKINGGNATS
Whiff.
Get some damn runs, now.
Is Cody Ross going to be a free agent?
At Spanky
Was that bear cub humping in a tent?
There are some close fantasy football games up in dis bish.
Ross has one year left.
@Karina
What's this crap I hear re: Chavez threatening to take over the golf courses and then put them to different use? Blasphemy!
I hope Ross hits .000 next year.
20 point lead for Lakers at the end of first quarter.
*dry humps nicholson*
Siddown, you lame-ass cowboy named pest!
Lets get some runs RANGERS
Come on now Rangers, let's sack up!!!
@Dusty he's been saying that for a while now. He says golf is a "bourgeois sport" so those lands should be reserved for any other use. Of course, there are plenty of pictures of Che Guevara and the Castros playing golf, but who can argue with someone who said the current Nobel Prize of Literature, Mario Vargas Llosa is -quoting word for word- "illiterate"?
Life in this country is a mix of a bad magic realism novel and Woody Allen's Bananas. I won't never apologize enough for the words of Chavez. I'm sorry, I swear most Venezuelans are coherent, well intentioned people.
Rangers only have one hit? WTF?
This is not looking good...
Why can't Texas get to this Bum-garner?
double play :(
Madison is already a girl's name.
Fuck me. Desperation time is coming now.
SHIT
Thanks for playing, Texas.
Balls, that's probably game...
DON'T give up, c'mon!
Mmmmmmm...
Nah, I'm gonna give up.
*standing ovation for that God Bless America*
@Czar what do I have to do so you believe?
Score three runs for the Rangers.
@karina
*steps back from the ledge*
Getting a bit panicky, though.
That's my Mr. C!
Czar, you know I can't do that
(cries)
A break for the Rangers...finally
Hit it Vlady
COME ON FUCKERS
SCORE SCORE SCORE SCORE SCORE
The one year I don't want the AL to suck.
Dyin' here.
Thx for that golf explanation, Karina. Guess Chavez thinks he is th supreme determiner of which sport is bourgeois and which is not.
If Gnats win, it will mean that the Yankmes and the Gnats will have one back to back WS. What did I do to anger the baseball gods so?
Joe Buck pulled a reverse Steiner there.
Yankmes always win, I've learned to deal with that. This is a whole other animal.
You know what? it ain't over 'till it's over and I won't stop believing 'till (IF) the Giants win game four.
*sobs*
Six more chances, Rangers.
@karina
Deathly Hallows trailer on. Suppose it's a good omen?
Sorry to have to dispatch you in fantasy football Karina. This one is done. How are the other games going? Did you leave pts on the bench Nic?
nope, just four injuries to my starting lineup this week.
@Mr C where? another one?
*sigh* Francouer :(
Ain't that the way...
@karina
Don't know if it was a new one. It played right after the end if the top if the inning.
^of
I hate this.
I hate this, too, MrC. How can the baseball gods treat us so badly? Didn't we suffer enough during the Dodger season?
now im starting to lose my faith in humanity.
If you're letting Madison Bumgarber beat you, you don't deserve to win the title.
(cries)
Quit with the verbal hanj on Wilson, you fucking fuck.
I was trying to get Mrs Dusty to post something but she said she was too sad about the game.
The Giants winning shortens my patience for our own WS.
Understandable, Mrs. B.
@NicJ
Agreed. I'm feeling fucking militant with Frank and Neddy at this point.
Mr C, I've seen those trailers before :(
This game is about to ruin my Halloween night :(
What a tool.
mainly because now we have nothing to hold over them. Sure we have more but our last one was from so long ago it almost doesn't even count anymore.
Gonna be hard for me to watch the remains of this series. I don't think I can take the sight.
This is the worst.
Bollocks.
I hope you all find ways to cheer yourselves up tonight. I'm going to try to get some sleep, I can't even watch Sorcerer's Stone on TV.
:_(
If the fucking gnats are going to win this, I hope it's tomorrow so there's no celebration in Phone Booth Park. I don't think I could make it through that.
*softly cries and sucks thumb*
Los Angeles is beating San Francisco!*
*In basketball
(cries self to sleep after killing and eating several children)
That's right Dusty!! We still have the Lakers!
How bout them two time defending world champion Los Angeles Lakers!
Heads are gonna fuckin roll!!'
Heading to Franks McCourt's house.
Bah. It's Oakland. Not the same.
Yes indeed Dusty! It is officially Lakers season in my house.
As Sally told Linus "you owe me restitution!!!"
Rangers are a bunch of block heads.
@MLASC
(sobs uncontrollably)
and LA doesn't have professional football team :(
(cries)
how about hockey?
I feel miserable
Paul, in another time, that comment of yours had made me smile :(
*weeps*
I'm liking this Caracter character.
FIRST PLACE KINGS!!
Kings baby! Rocking hockey even without Doughty! Suck it, Kovalchuk!
Sports karma owes LA a shot at Lord Stanley's Cup.
Fuck you Yankees for spending all that Money and not be able to buy this away from the giants.
I want this fuckin season to end asap.
Giants you aren't special anymore. Cubs can be the final ones to feel important about being loser.
I wonder how many people went up to Papadakis today and complemented him on his goblin mask.
Actually, I'm kinda sick of the Cubs' shit, too.
Not winning the WS since I was a teenager is beginning to grate on me.
