WORLD SERIES dandy for GAME 1 LEE VS LINCECUM........who's line up is better....and who's pitching is better from starters to bullpen? WHO WINS?

Who would have thought the 2010 World Series would feature the two teams in the playoffs hardly no one had getting past the divisional series. The FALL CLASSIC will start tonight in the BAY and there is a pitching match up that hardcore baseball fans dream about in LHP RANGERS ACE CLIFF LEE and RHP GIANTS ACE TIM LINCECUM.

LEE has dominated this year in the playoffs and almost looked untouchable against the BRONX BOMBERS mixing in speeds while locating a above average fastball. LEE's deal is keeping hitters off balance and a head of the count and when he has these two going he is lights out.

LINCECUM on the other hand is a POWER PITCHER with a moving fastball in the range of mid to upper 90's and a curve or slide piece that the bottom falls out. He pitched pretty good so far in the Playoffs but we have yet to see the SHUTDOWN LINCECUM that has been so dominant the past two years in winning the Heisman.

Let's look at the lineup and see who is better suited to get to the others pitching staff:

RANGERS

OBVIOUSLY the two guys that stick out is 2010 ALCS MVP JOSH HAMILTON and "BAD" VLADIMIR GUERRERO. These two guys are clutch and the RANGERS are built to get guys on and have them 2 do damage. But it doesn't stop there IAN KINSLER, NELSON CRUZ, and ELVIS ADRUS have been a thorn in the side in whoever the RANGERS have played. In order for the GIGANTES to control this lineup they have to control JOSH and VLAD. They should take a page out of the RAYS Pitching staff on how they slowed them down here n there.

GIGANTES

The guys that stick out in this lineup are veterans PAT BURRELL, AARON ROWAND, and EDGAR RENTERIA. They have had some clutch hits from all over their lineup but these gentleman coupled with young rising stars in BUSTER POSEY and PABLO SANDOVAL make it tough for lineups to just attack certain hitters while pitching around others. In order for the RANGERS to slow them down they have to limit the top of the lineup and slow down POSEY and SANDOVAL when runners are on ahead of them.

PITCHING

RANGERS/GIANTS PROBABLES

Game 1 CLIFF LEE/TIM LINCECUM
Game 2 CJ WILSON/MATT CAIN
Game 3 JONATHAN SANCHEZ/COLBY LEWIS
Game 4 MADISON BUMGARNER/ TOMMY HUNTER


Both staffs are pretty young and nerves are a part of it but having played two series already they just have to play pitch and catch. I think the edge might have to go to the GIANTS for the SIMPLE fact they have another #1 starter in CAIN. Not that the other RANGERS Pitchers are not good I just can't see none of them anchoring a staff like CAIN.

BULLPENS

GIANTS have BRIAN WILSON who had 48 svs in 53 chances
RANGERS have NEFTALI FELIZ who had 40 svs in 43 chances

Both of these guys are lights out and it will come down to middle relief and the set up man in this series THE BLUEDUDE calling it even.

This series will be better than you think and it will come down to 3 things like always: PITCHING, DEFENSE, AND TIMELY HITTING Both of these teams do this well and have done it well throughout the playoffs.

MANAGERS

GIANTS BRUCE BOCHY
RANGERS RON WASHINGTON

If talking experience you would have to say BOCHY obviously but as far as complete managers both have a similar style in being simply PLAYER"S COACHES.

BLUEDUDE PREDICTION.......................RANGERS in 6....................SEE JERRY JONES and you thought you were the biggest thing in Arlington.........you're not but your stadium is........TAKE IT HOME DALLAS/FORT WORTH
