My third view of a Colby Lewis postseason start appeared to be happening at the same time on three different televisions. That is because it was.

What was I going to do flip back and forth between the Knicks and the World Series? The Knicks will have plenty of time to blow the fourth quarter in attempts to win games and the World Series will be over within a week.

Thanks to Lewis (the other C.L), who gets overshadowed by Cliff Lee, the Rangers will get to use Lee on their terms. None of this three days rest stuff -  the thing that moves people up a day just to stay alive.

The view was from the back room of Finnerty's, which is a bar in the East Village that is heavy on the San Francisco Giants. Truth is I was looking for a Texas Ranger bar in New York to see what the scene is like for a team playing its first World Series game but either I didn't look hard enough or there is none. (If there is feel free to let me know).

So giving up that search, I seeked out a bar that seemed to cater to the Giant fans and that's what led me to this place. I pulled a LA-type move by arriving in the bottom of the first (that's what I get for thinking it was on third avenue and not second).

The last time I pulled a scene trip for a sporting event was during the two weeks when I liked soccer or European football and I watched two US games, one at Baker Street Pub as the guest of another friend in the media where there was delirium after Landon Donovan scored.

By the time I settled in with the available beverage for purchase, the place was teeming with activity and people clad in the orange and black of the Giants. Being that it was the night before Halloween, there were several Brian Wilson beards as costumes.

For all the cheering and anticipation from the Giant fans, it was not to be and that was because just like the Yankees, they could not hit Colby Lewis, who was the starting pitcher for my last excursion to a bar for a playoff game (writer's note, Texas is 2-0 when I watch postseason games from a bar).

Lewis is now 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in four postseason starts you know how James Shields has been referred to "Big Game James", you can apply the same moniker to Lewis. In the ALCS, he pitched Game Two (the day after the Yankees won Game One) and then closed it out after the Yankees took Game Five to send it back to Texas.

With the Giants being 24 hours from a possible sweep, Lewis turned in another awesome performance. He put two on the first and six on the rest of the way and limited damage by allowing solo home runs to Cody Ross and Andres Torres. Before those home runs five batters apart, the Giants could barely touch the man, who 

Pat Burrell couldn't touch him and neither could Juan Uribe despite the urging of the bar with the "Oooo-reebay! chants.

If that Texas Ranger bar does in fact exist in New York City, then maybe chants of "Col-BEE! Col-BEE!"might be ringing out.

If that bar does exist, they would be chanting Mitch Moreland's name. Moreland hit a three-run home run on the ninth pitch from Jonathan Sanchez in the bottom of the second, has continued to put together good at-bat after good at-bat and is hitting .341 in the postseason.

At the Giants' bar on Halloween they will hope their team is one game closer to the first title since 1954. At the yet to be found Rangers' bar, the crowd will hope their team can guarantee a return trip to San Francisco and even get Lee to pitch like that other starting pitcher with the same initials.
