Sliced beef brisket, baby back ribs, beef burnt ends, pork spare ribs, smoked turkey — delicacies even a certain panda has to love this time of year. Bumgarner was kept on regular rest by manager Bruce Bochy, who refused to use his ace on short rest in Game 4, which would have made him available to start Game 7, also on short rest. Vogelsong failed to complete three innings, but the offense finally came alive to turn a three-run deficit into a seven-run victory, Pablo Sandoval’s tie-breaking two-run single in the sixth highlighting the charge. Without the comeback, the Giants would have played an elimination game on Sunday, their 2014 home finale, and the Royals could have finished it off with a win in Game 5, Game 6 or Game 7. [...] Bumgarner has a chance to put the Giants ahead three games to two and create gobs of momentum heading back to Kansas City. In the 2001 World Series, he threw a three-hit shutout in Game 2 (110 pitches), worked seven innings in a Game 6 victory (104 pitches) and pitched 11/3 innings in relief on zero days’ rest to win Game 7 (17 pitches). A team official will be dispatched early Sunday to help oversee hotel rooms for a party of 500, including players, staff, scouts, owners, sponsors, broadcast teams and a bunch of family members. The Giants will fly out Monday, staying consistent with departing on off days instead of at night after games, theoretically making it easier on the body clock.

  • Nuggets’ offense gets sloppy in Christmas Day loss to Phoenix Suns
    Denver Post, Thursday - 12/26/2024 - 01:30 AM

    PHOENIX — Unlike the last two years, the Nuggets were not surrounded by the comforts of home this Christmas. Extracted from the mountains and dropped in the desert, they couldn’t find any flow in a 110-100 loss to the Suns. Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant combined for 52 points with impressive shot-making inside the arc, and Denver’s offense had an uncharacteristic dud at Footprint Center.

  • Mahomes throws 3 TDs as Chiefs clinch AFC’s top seed by breezing past the skidding Steelers 29-10
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 12/25/2024 - 04:06 PM

    By WILL GRAVES PITTSBURGH — Andy Reid donned a Santa Claus suit in a giddy Kansas City Chiefs locker room on Christmas Day, then handed his team a present it increasingly looks like it deserves: home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. How Reid managed to slide into the costume so quickly after Kansas City’s clinical 29-10 victory over the reeling Pittsburgh Steelers to lock up the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven years is a mystery (though he hinted there’s an elf involved). How Reid’s team manages to pull away from the pack year after year is not. A lot of Patrick Mahomes.
