I hope it's a sweep but that's me in the minority. The little clips during the WS makes this look KC centric. America is getting behind them and now that they are down a key game 1 (nearly 2/3rds of WS winners get game 1), it's going to be a come from behind thing after a big 7-1 loss.
This was regular Mad Bum, but now there's no Lincecum (no hitter this year), Cain (Giants only perfect game), or Zito (longest Giants starter winning streak) to rely on so I don't expect lights out Giant pitching outside of Bumgarner. KC certainly has a chance to catch up with their amazing batters.
The only good thing about WS stress is that I don't hate KC and I didn't hate Texas or Detroit. With KC, they are like a pre-2004/2005 Red Sox and White Sox with a long period of not having won so you never feel bad when they win after a long time in the cold. I rooted for Texas when Giants or As weren't in the big series and they were a talent I felt were going to sew it up for that year. And it's been a long time for Detroit, too. Without Googling I don't recall if Texas ever won the WS and I couldn't remember a few weeks ago if KC won in all in the 80s or only got the AL pennant.

Sad my Cards aren't there, but honestly, I think this could still be a good series. Would love to see a 7 Game series.
