Daily Friar 10.16.12
I will admit that I didn’t watch the Cardinals and Giants game last night because I was too busy watching the Chargers give a big gift to the Broncos. Apparently from what I read (which you can read below) the Giants destroyed Cardinals pitching to even up the series 1-1. Tonight is game 3 of the Tigers and Yankees. It should be interesting to see if the Yankees offense can wake up, which personally I hope it doesn’t. In other news former Padre Wally Joyner has a new gig, and Bud Selig is still senile. Here are your links for today:

Cardinals at Giants – MLB.com
“But Pence’s exhortations may have been eclipsed by the gutty Scutaro, painful left hip and all. He contributed a two-run single, the biggest hit in a four-run fourth inning, as the Giants evened the National League Championship Series at one game apiece with a 7-1 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals.”
