Balt gets a late cheapie TD.

Niners wear Balt down.

I’ve already called my score…17-16 Niners.

I mean, they had like a week off. Did it all fall apart in a week? lol

By take on I mean sweep like whiny little tigers.

Put your bucks on the “North American” champs. The Giants are the best team in the world, just as the Cards were in 2011. We may not thrash the Nippon *All-Stars*, but the Japan Series champion team is more on a par with the Grizzlies. We’re the World Champs.

Baseball? No.

I’ll probably watch it between episodes of My Little Pony and Jake and The Neverland Pirates.

SF is the better team. I expect them to win handily.

So, to some degree you could say the best players in the world are representated in MLB. But I can see how it is tough to call it the “World Series.” Whatever…I love me some MLB and the Giants.
