Game 7 is the only thing standing between the Kansas City Royals, the San Francisco Giants, and the one ring to rule them all. In charge of that? None other than Jeremy Guthrie - who a year and a half ago had an ERA over 6 before being traded for the disaster that is Jonathan Sanchez - and Tim Hudson - whose ankle formed a very unnatural right angle roughly 14 months ago.

Go Baseball.
