Bats catch fire in pitchers duel

A battle between Cliff Lee and Tim Lincecum was supposed to leave us with a final score of 1-0 in the World Series, right?

Game One of the World Series featured high amounts of offense in the Giants' 11-7 win. I love watching offense, but I was extremely surprised by this game. I wanted to see two of the best pitchers in baseball go deep into the game with every pitch causing the audience to hold its breath, but that's not what we got.

Baseball has struggled with its ratings in the playoffs due largely in part to football, but the high volume offense from last night could help the sport's championship series. I enjoyed watching the game, but hopefully Game Two is much closer. Texas needs to show up and actually give the Giants a challenge.
