Games two, three and four: Giants take two-out-of-three, Could tonight be the clincher?

The Giants will probably finish off the Texas Rangers tonight, and win the 2010 World Series. Could the Rangers come back, sure, but I don't see it, as I see the Giants having superior pitching(as has played out in this series), and pitching wins championships.

Game Two-The Giants shut down the Rangers, which gave the Giant bats time to come to life, as they put a Texas-sized whipping on the visitors, 9-0.

Game Three-The Series goes to the suburbs of Big D for the first time in history, and the home folks much prefer the result, as the Rangers win 4-2.

Game Four-Madison Bumgartner becomes the fourth-youngest pitcher to win a World Series game at age 21, as he shut out the Rangers 4-0, to put the Giants one win away from the franchise's first World Championship in 56 years.

Game Five-Tonight could be the clincher, Lee and Lincecum rematch. Lee should pitch better than he did in the Game One debacle, but will it be enough? The bottom line is that the Giants have better pitching overall, and they are proving the old truism that good pitching beats good hitting, and, besides, the Rangers, IF they do win realistically will not have Lee available when the series would shift back to the Bay Area Wednesday.
