Kansas City, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Madison Bumgarner
watched as Pablo Sandoval worked his way under the ball.
Moments later, the San Francisco Giants ace was swarmed
by teammates near the mound after punctuating one of the
great postseason performances in any sport. Some of them
stopped first to congratulate Sandoval, who was on his
back after catching the last out. And on the edge of the
celebration, Buster Posey dropped to his knees, a smile
on the catchers face that showed both happiness and
relief. This is some dynasty, and it almost unraveled on
an error. Bumgarner pitched five scoreless innings out of
the bullpen and the Giants held on to beat the Kansas
City Royals 3-2 in Game 7 on Wednesday night, capturing
their third World Series title in five years. With two
outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, after Bumgarner
had retired 14 batters in a row, Alex Gordon sliced a hit
into left-center field that bounced past Gregor Blanco
and went to the wall, suddenly giving the Royals a sliver
of hope. Left fielder Juan Perez bobbled the ball on the
warning track and Gordon made it all the way to third on
a two-base error. Im not sure what happened. I didnt see
it, Bumgarner said. But I was starting to get a little
nervous. He was digging around a little bit and its a big
outfield. It was a little nerve-racking. But Bumgarner
threw six fastballs to Salvador Perez, who popped up into
foul territory near third base, where Sandoval squeezed
it before falling onto his back with his arms in the air.
Relief, said Bruce Bochy, who has managed each of these
three championship teams. Because anything can happen --
a bloop, a wild pitch. Theres a man on third base there
and (Bumgarner) just made some great pitches. Bumgarner
pitched on two days rest after pitching a four-hit
shutout in Game 5 on Sunday for his second win of the
series. He was named World Series MVP, to no ones
surprise, after throwing 21 innings and giving just up
one run, nine hits and one walk. Sandoval, due to be a
free agent, reached base four times in Game 7 and scored
twice, including the go-ahead run on Michael Morses
single back in the fourth inning. Sandoval had three
hits, giving him an MLB-record 26 this postseason. The
Royals, trying to win a title for the first time in 29
years, came up a win short. They forced Game 7 with
Tuesdays 10-0 blowout, extending their magical season for
another day, but scored their only runs Wednesday in the
second inning. You work all year to climb to the top of
the mountain and then Boom! You fall back down and have
to restart next season, Kansas City manager Ned Yost
said. The wild-card Giants, an 88-win team that finished
six games behind the rival Dodgers in the NL West, rode a
Bumgarner shutout to an 8-0 win in Pittsburgh on Oct. 1
and finished their title run two days shy of Halloween.
Bumgarners wins in Games 1 and 5, and his five-inning
save in the clincher, cemented his role at the age of 25
as a postseason star on a Giants team that has carved an
odd dynasty into recent baseball history. The Giants have
made the postseason only three times in the last 11 years
-- winning the World Series each time. Wednesdays
celebration followed titles in 2010 over Texas and 2012
over Detroit. They snapped a nine-game losing streak by
road teams in World Series Game 7s, becoming the first
team to win that way since the 1979 We Are Family
Pirates, who clinched in Baltimore.

Chicago Cubs.RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- FIFA will not take
action against the Colombia player who injured Neymar and
ended the Brazil stars World Cup. FIFA said its
disciplinary panel "cannot consider this matter" under
the rules because the match referee saw the challenge by
Camilo Zuniga and judged it at the time. "In this
specific case, no retrospective action can be taken,"
FIFA said in a statement on Monday, because the incident
"did not escape the match officials attention." In a
separate decision, the panel also refused to consider a
Confederation of Brazilian Football appeal against
captain Thiago Silvas yellow card in the 2-1 win
quarterfinals over Colombia on Friday in Fortaleza.
Thiago Silvas second caution of the tournament triggered
a one-match ban which he will serve in the semifinals.
Brazil will therefore be without its best player and its
captain against Germany on Tuesday in Belo Horizonte.
Neymar will be sidelined for about 45 days after
sustaining a fractured third vertebra. The panel studied
video of Zunigas 86th-minute challenge, where he kneed
Neymar in the back when jumping into him at speed. Zuniga
apologized on Saturday. Spanish referee Carlos Velasco
Carballo did not show Zuniga a yellow card, and FIFAs
disciplinary panel coonsidered the incident judged on the
spot.dddddddddddd The seriousness of an injury could not
be weighed in a disciplinary decision, nor was mistaken
identity a factor in the case, FIFA added. "First and
foremost, the chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee
(Claudio Sulser) wishes to state that he deeply regrets
the incident and the serious consequences on Neymars
health," the statement said. The Luis Suarez biting case
earlier in the World Cup raised expectations that Sulsers
panel would also punish Zuniga. However, Suarezs bite of
Italy defender Giorgio Chiellinis shoulder was missed by
match officials. That allowed Sulser to use video
evidence to ban the Uruguay forward for nine
international matches and four months. The Mexican
referee in that case, Marco Rodriguez, will handle the
Brazil-Germany semifinal in his first match duty since
Uruguay beat Italy 1-0 on June 24. Thiago Silva was
booked against Colombia for impeding goalkeeper David
Ospina who tried to kick the ball downfield. The FIFA
disciplinary code states that cautions can be cancelled
only in "exceptional circumstances." The panel "cannot
consider the matter given the fact that there is no legal
basis entitling it to grant such request," FIFA said.
