With the offensive outburst in the final game of the year at Yankee Stadium and the loss of series hero Michael Taylor, the Giants suddenly look like they have more than a fleeting chance in this Series. All they need to do is win 2 games in the Polo Grounds. Given that they had 60 wins in 77 tries at home this season, that's not exactly a tough feat.

It's been that sort of year for the Yankees. As good as they were, they've had to battle through some tremendous adversity. Today that adversity came in the form of a shoulder injury on Eeyore Meyers after facing just one batter. The bullpen did what it could but in the end was no match for the overpowering stuff of Fred Fleming. If there's a silver lining in the cloud for the Yankees, it's that they weren't going to be relying on Meyers again this season anyway. It comes down to Game 7.
