Top 12 Takeaways From Game One of the World Series

12) Since the team that wins Game One takes the Series 61% of the time, we only have to pay 3/5ths of our attention to this now

11) The 18 total runs scored shows that the hitters have no chance at twilight

10) Nothing quite says San Francisco more than the fact that a medical marijuana dispensary is giving away free joints every time a Giants player hits a home run, or that a fat shortstop (Juan Uribe) got everybody toked up

9) In the Year of the Pitcher, with Tim Lincecum and Cliff Lee on the mound, of course it will be a slugfest

7) Pirate Fan, assuming he still exists and likes to watch baseball past the month of May, had to enjoy seeing Freddy Sanchez do well

6) Yankee Fan is bitter that the Rangers saved up all of their nerves and bad defensive play for the Series, rather than the ALCS

5) Perhaps having the better part of a week off at this point in the year wasn't the best thing for the relative sharpness of play

4) Lee, Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt each have one lifetime post-season loss, and all of them came to this Giants team, because a club that's weak on defense and hitting is just going to do that

3) The Rangers are now a combined 0-10 in Pacific Bell Park, SBC Park, AT&T Park and The Barry Bonds Nancy Pelosi Gavin Newsom Home For Steroids, Socialism and Sodomy
