Giants, Royals amp up the drama
— -- SAN FRANCISCO -- The 2014 postseason has provided an abundance of memorable moments and late-inning heroics from the likes of Matt Adams, Salvador Perez, Travis Ishikawa and Brandon Belt, to name just a few. We've seen Clayton Kershaw come up short on the big stage, Matt Williams and Don Mattingly scrutinized ad nauseam for their dugout decisions and a crazy quilt of baseball unpredictability that has stretched from one week to another ... and yet another.
The only quibble, for a true baseball fan, is the matchups have all been hit-and-run jobs. Through the first two rounds of the playoffs, the inventory consisted of three sweeps in the American League and three series that went one game beyond the minimum allotment in the National.
Now, at last, we have a postseason series with a chance to endure in the consciousness -- if not a classic, at least a bona fide war of attrition. Four games into the World Series, the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals are tied at two games each. And it won't surprise anyone if this one goes the distance.
