Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks: The Giants Win The Pennant
Hey friends, Pete Blackburn back with you to serve up some of the Internet's hottest links today. Andy is feeling a bit under the weather (or he just wanted another long weekend), but he'll be back in all his greatness on Monday. In the meantime, feel free to shoot any comments or tips my way on Twitter @PeteBlackburn.
The Fall Classic Is Set
Brad Mangin/SI
The Giants eliminated the St. Louis Cardinals and won their third National League pennant in five years last night thanks to a walk-off blast off the bat of Travis Ishikawa in San Francisco. Ishikawa's ninth-inning heroics prompted a handful of pretty great TV & radio play-by-play calls (including this one on FOX Deportes) but none better than Joe Buck's fantastic throwback. As expected, the after-party was pretty wild and Madison Bumgarner once again outdid himself by drinking SIX beers at once. His liver could be in trouble if the Giants take down the Royals.
What A Jerk
Bruins forward Milan Lucic responded to heckling Canadiens fans with quite the obscene gesture from the penalty box last night in Montreal. At least we now know who this kid's favorite pro is.
Thursday Night "Rivarly"
We finally got an entertaining Thursday Night Football matchup last night between the Patriots and Jets in New England. The Patriots came out on top, which we probably should have seen coming considering the Jets couldn't even win a spelling bee right now. Both starting quarterbacks provided some hilarious highlights - Tom Brady was caught executing an all-time flop, and Geno Smith absolutely demolished a poor lady minding her own business on the sidelines.

Not only is Sweets a super cute co-pilot, she also says what's up to other riders as they pass. What a badass.
