DEJAN KOVACEVIC, DK ON PITTSBURGH SPORTS Getting ready for first pitch in Major League Baseball’s 110th World Series … Game 4: San Francisco Giants vs. Kansas City Royals, 8:07 p.m., AT&T Park Series: Royals, 2-1 Pitchers: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (0-0, 5.19) vs. LHP Jason Vargas (1-0, 2.38) TV, radio: Fox (national), 970 ESPN Online: Live box score / Multimedia / Official game notes
Royals will win it tonight!
Since 69, the team that won game 3 after a 1-1 tie has gone on to win the ws 16 of 19 times.
Great stat, Radio. With games 6 & 7, if necessary, both in KC the Giants really need to win tonight & tomorrow. I think they need a 3-2 lead going back to KC to make it interesting.
I said kc in six and now I am regretting not saying that the series will be over in five.
Can’t see Madbum losing a WS game.
Although…..his home/road splits say otherwise.

While I’m an advocate for the DH, I love the fact that KC probably has the advantage in the NL park, without a prototypical DH to play like Morse.
Thanks Jal for the lineups.
Typical 2014 giants score with no hits.
Giants failed to execute a play and instead of being up 1-0 they are down 4-1 and still hitting.
Royals got this series in the bag.
You remember 1979, Orioles up 3-1, Pirates win game 5 then go to Baltimore and win games 6 and 7.
That’s true, JAL. I wonder if it has happened since then.
You might be jinxing the Royals, Dom.
Who would have thought the royals pen would blow up?
Look – Nix is in!
