Go Gnats!

I feel a special kind of tingle in my leg ALA Tweety in knowing that the team that finished in front of mine is gonna win the World Series in 5.

I will admit to wishing the Gnats lose whichever game Lincecum starts though.

and hope Verlander's pitch count gets high enough to bring in the bullpen. That may be hard to do since the strategy with Verlander will be to swing early in the count.

He's pitching like it's 2002 instead of 2012.
