THE 108TH WORLD SERIES, GAME 1 - October 24, 2012

[@Alan62651]

The 2012 season, the NLCS and this game were redemption for 6 years of trouble for Barry Zito. Now we can say "He was a great Giant."

[@Pandabearmadness]

3 hr from panda was great but one of my favorite moments in this game was zito rbi off Verlander

[@OperationEndGame]

Hate him or not, Zito earned 2012 WS.

[@Millbrae3409]

OperationEndGame He was the perfect choice for Game 1 against the over-aggressive Tigers.

[@pacificahorrorsociety7525]

I admit that I talked a lot of crap about Zito that year. But after 2012, he should not have to pay for a beer anywhere in San Francisco.

[@shermanngjazz]

This series happened almost 8 years ago... Wow!! I'm still very happy for Barry Zito getting the start and earning the win!

[@MrPerfecttommy]

Barry...Manilo? LOL

[@madrich3050]

Zito's contract was worth every penny!

[@carntspell]

Of all the HRs Panda hit I loved the 2nd one. Pitching coach visits mound, Verlander basically tells him to fuck off then gets hammered. World Series is all about getting there, then reputations mean squat.

[@kidmack3556]

Verlander must've been listening to these two announcers going on and on about how great he is. And then they don't talk to someone in the Giant's dugout or bull pen about winning, but to a player who is losing and doesn't know what to say...

Kind of weird how he dominates the Yankees and Athletics but yet get crushed by the Cardinals and Giants.

Barry, Barry, Barry!! Wow, such good memories. Zito earned every penny of his salary in 2012.

[@davidtorney7077]

He earned all his prior salary as well.

[@johnanthony2333]

Ruth, Jackson, Pujols...SANDOVAL??? lol Man, that's why I love this game!!! You just never know...

[@brentminick1]

Magical game. Zito left off the postseason roster in 2010 gets the ultimate redemption by outdueling the truly great Verlander. He added a line drive rbi single off JV when he was on the ropes, what a moment. Joe buck eat your words Haha (I like Buck but he said zito had zero chance in the first inning at the plate and again said "biggest mismatch" we'll see) Pagan ball off the third base bag for a double was so unusual that was part of the 'magic' Panda hit 3 bombs we know that. But the first one, in the 1st inning was on an 0-2 count on not a bad pitch. That wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. Say he makes an out there and Verlander cruises thru the first frame, the result of this game could have been very different, putting all the pressure on Zito to be perfect. But zito got a run of breathing room and cashed in. Big time Timmy jim Lincecum came in at the perfect time (Bochy brilliant calls always) and delivered. Giants weren't supposed to be there but they were. There will always be highs and lows in sports, but this game specifically given the magnitude... it was a game where a giants fan will feel the ultimate joy. Legendary game all around

[@benthekeeshond545]

threelibras8, Definitely a game we feel the ultimate joy. This is why I am here watching this game and WS again in Jan. 2020. Now that my favorite players, Timmy, Matt, Barry, Ryan, and even MadBum are gone. Truly marking the end of an era for the Giants.

[@shermanngjazz]

[@onlineguy1984]

Joe buck lifeless call of a second homerun for a guy in back to back at bats in game 1 of the world series is insane to me

He was just salty cause the giants knocked out the cardinals who he is a fan of.

[@Boonicat71]

I could watch this game 100 times and still love it with all my heart

I was there in the left center field bleachers. Pablo's HR's made the crowd lose their absolute minds it was incredible. Loudest crowd I've ever heard at a sporting event.

[@yagsfan]

I loved it after Sandoval's second home run and you could see Verlander say "Wow!" with a perplexed look on his face. Just priceless!

[@SF49ersfanatic]

1:14:25 you gotta wonder if that pitching coach visit to the mound made Verlander have a lap of focus. Not well timed at all but for my giants !

[@kidmack3556]

Maybe. The interruption might've broken his rhythm for sure, but it looked like he was just as smug as the coach walked away as he appeared to be during the conversation which tells me he ignored the advice of his elder and threw what he intended to throw. A hard head makes a soft behind...

[@YouReallyMuseMe]

Cardinals announcers bias, they probably still hate Will Clark after his run in with Ozzie Smith.

[@CalKiteboarderkid]

Literally the next pitch after the pitching coach walked back to the dugout, Sandoval home run.

[@orangeandblackattack]

I was so sick and tired of the handjobs Buck, McCarver and other "experts" were giving Verlander. This was perfect slaying of Goliath. Barry earned his contract in 2012. Worth it in long run. Verlander at 100 pitches in 4th inning was freaking hilarious. #pandapower #rallyzito Great memories

[@kidmack3556]

This is my first time watching this series, and it is actually sickening to listen to such biased announcing from supposedly neutral broadcasters. And even after the Giant's start pulling away on the scoreboard, they start attempting to qualify their gushings about the Tigers but still don't give the Giant's the proper credit, instead they're inferring that it's all been luck.

[@ianreinacher8284]

I like how the announcers never gave the Giants a chance.

[@BadCountryRanch]

[@josuediaz5881]

I be honest I don't really like baseball but after 2010 and 2012 I cry like a man because nobody believes this team can't win the world series other teams spend so much money but our giants hire players no others team likes I believe futbol soccer was the best sport in the world but baseball is 2

The Cardinals were legitimately 12 outs away from being in 3 straight World Series, and if they could have recorded bullpen outs in 2014, it could have been very plausible that they would have made the 2011, ‘12, ‘13, ‘14 series

[@Papaneeks]

[@aaronfung7743]

giants year even year

[@fallen4life080]

I love how Verlander refused to admit he got rocked in this game, i guess he didnt wanna accept he got knocked off of his pedastal. during the post game interview he said he struggled a bit with location and movement..... i think thats BS Fastball up and in to Sandoval is almost always a guaranteed K for left handed hitters, the second home run was a fastball low and away, either youll slap it for crummy ground ball, or youll miss. And Zito's getting a hit was just another slap in the face.

Ha lesson of humidity for Verlander

[@colbs237]

It is so good watching Verlander stare down his pitching coach as he comes to the mound in the 3rd. Verlander totally big- leagued him right there on the mound, didn't look at him while his coach talked, and then only looked at him, smirking, when telling him this: "All you did was fire them up", talking about the crowd. Next pitch, he's beaten by a 2 Run HR to LEFT, by Panda. Suck it several, several times, Verlander. You can't beat us. Even when you are "the best pitcher in the game". We are the World Champions of 2012, we swept your team, and it all started with you not able to stop us in Game 1. Don't ever forget that.

[@colbs237]

AND...not only did Barry Zito out pitch you, Justin, Zito beat you with a 2 out line drive RBI base hit. So, so good.

[@ca27626]

The Zito RBI.. so great. Good times.

[@bittergunowner12]

Doubke check for Tigers starting pitching, eat crow "experts"

[@WinslowSly1]

The Tigers were thinking we got Cabrera. We got Fielder. No No. The Giants got Kung Fu Panda!

[@miggizle85]

How awesome was it that 2 World Series Champions from 2010 who hardly did anything in the 2010 post-season (Pandoval and Zito) were so HUGE for us in this post-season! And conversely you have 2 World Series champions from 2010 who were HUGE for us that year (Huff and Wilson) who hardly contributed in this post-season. And yet all 4 of those players own 2 World Series rings regardless. Awesome!

[@Millbrae3409]

I always remember that ESPN’s WS preview crew joked about it and said ‘the Tigers would win in “3”.

[@hpdblues]

"Barry, Barry Manilow in the bottom of the 4th!"

[@misina211]

It wouldn't be that big of a deal if they weren't so disrespectful of the Giants. Like Buck saying of the Zito at-bat in the 4th inning against Verlander (who's ass they continued to kiss even after the 2nd HR by Panda), at around 1:37:22, "Zito at the plate, this is the biggest mis-match we'll see in the entire World Series." Really? Something tells me he should stay out of the fortune-telling business. All the so-called experts were ready to crown the Tigers 2012 champs before the 1st pitch.

[@sidfujinari5959]
