No active pitcher in baseball has made more starts without appearing in a World Series game than San Francisco righty Tim Hudson. Thatll change on Friday when he takes the ball trying to give the Giants a leg up on the Kansas City Royals, as the Fall Classic shifts to AT&T Park for a pivotal Game 3. Early in my career, I thought that Id be here well before now -- theres no question about it, said Hudson, who has started 457 games. But as your career creeps along and youre not able to get here to this big dance, you realize how hard it is. Ive told some of these young guys who are rookies on our club, Soak it all in, man. Because you never know when youre going to be back. The 39-year-old hurler has had two starts this postseason and has pitched to a 3.29 ERA without recording a decision. After throwing 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball in the NLDS, the Los Angeles Dodgers banged him around for four runs in 6 1/3 frames. San Francisco, though, won both of his starts. Hudson has pitched to a 4.12 ERA in 11 starts against the Royals and allowed three runs and six hits in six innings in a no-decision against them earlier in the year. However, Kansas Citys running game could be a concern for him, as over the past two years, Hudson has allowed 22 steals in 26 attempts, the 10th-worst success rate among big leaguers with at least 200 innings. You obviously have to be concerned with it, Hudson said. Thats one of the big strengths of their ballclub. You have to understand how to control the running game. Kansas City, meanwhile, will counter with righty Jeremy Guthrie, who has won five of six decisions since falling to Oakland on Aug. 12. Guthrie has allowed one run or less in six of those nine starts in that span, including a no- decision against Baltimore in the ALCS that saw him surrender a run and three hits in five innings. My goal is to put up zeros, Guthrie said. If I put up zeros, I have a chance to stay in. If I dont, Im going to be taken out, whether its a National League ballpark or not. So thats got to be the focus for me is, what can I do to put up zeros against a good hitting team. Hes also pitched well away from home, going 5-1 with a 2.95 ERA in his last six road starts. Kansas City evened this best-of-seven set on Wednesday, as Omar Infantes two- run homer punctuated a five-run sixth inning that propelled the Royals to a 7-2 win. The Royals bullpen triumvirate of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland continued their domination with 3 2/3 scoreless innings. KCs bullpen has gone 7-0 this postseason with a 1.81 ERA. Of course, as the set transitions to the NL ballpark, the Royals will lose designated hitter Billy Butler in the starting lineup. In the National League, to have a bat like Billy Butlers on the bench coming in a situation, it could be the fourth inning, it could be the fifth inning or the sixth inning with guys in scoring position, Kansas City skipper Ned Yost said. That could be the difference. San Franciscos Pablo Sandoval has continued to carve out his own postseason legacy and has reached base safely in a franchise record 25 straight games. Since the start of divisional play in 1969, the team to win Game 3 in a Series where the first two games were split has gone on to capture the championship 16 of 19 times. These teams actually met in the regular season, as the Royals completed a three-game sweep at Kauffman Stadium. Fridays contest, though, will be Kansas Citys first in San Francisco since 2005.

"While I understand his frustration, I think its over," Silver said Sunday. The NBA commissioner said Sterling still hasnt signed off on the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers, or agreed to drop his lawsuit against Silver or the NBA. But Silver believes he ultimately will, because Shelly Sterlings agreement with the league covers the NBAs legal responsibilities in case of a suit. "So in essence, Donald is suing himself and he knows that," Silver said. Silver also said before Game 2 of the NBA Finals that there is "absolutely no possibility" of rescinding the lifetime ban or $2.5 million fine he handed down to Sterling following his racist remarks. Silver said he spoke with Sterling shortly after delivering his punishments and found him to be "distraught" but "not remorseful at that time." Sterlings attorneys had eventually indicated to the league that he would drop his fight and work with his estranged wife to finish off the record $2 billion sale to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Sterling may be changing his mind now, but Silver doesnt seem concerned. "I think its just a matter of time now, and then we will move on to better topics and back to the finals," Silver said. The dominant topic at the finals thus far has been the air conditioning failure in Game 1. Temperatures in the arena rose to about 90 degrees in the second half, and Heat star LeBron James left the game with about 4 minutes left after battling cramps. Silver said he is satisfied the problem has been fixed and that the situation was handled as best as possible after the circuit breakeer failed just before the game, leaving no time for repair.dddddddddddd ""In hindsight it wasnt handled perfectly, but theyd never been confronted with that issue before," said Silver, who was at the game and communicating with league and arena officials. "I would say that its certainly not one of my prouder moments in my short tenure as commissioner so far, but its the nature of this game. There always are going to be human and mechanical errors and its unfortunate." With the Sterling situation, and the rocky first finals game of his tenure, Silver has had some difficult moments during his first four months on the job. He replaced David Stern on Feb. 1, and both men have said they proud of the way the transition was handled. Silver was designated as Sterns successor in October 2012, when Stern announced his plans to retire as commissioner. But Silver had already been taking on more responsibilities by then, serving as the leagues lead negotiator during the lockout in 2011, and Stern repeatedly said he was confident Silver was the man to take the NBA to new heights. But Silver probably couldnt have imagined some of the things he would face so soon. "Its the early days. Ive done the best I could," Silver said. He has been widely praised for his response to Sterlings remarks, though said Sunday in hindsight he wishes perhaps the NBA could have done more sooner after previous allegations of racist behaviour by Sterling. However, something is being done now. "I take very seriously the fact that he has a pending lawsuit against the league. So I want to make sure thats resolved before we say this is behind us, but I have absolute confidence it will be," Silver said.
