Coming back home usually spells victory in Series

OK,  before everybody starts talking about the Giants being on the brink of a Title,  remember recent history.  Coming home down 3-2,  the Angels need only look back one year to the Diamondbacks,  who trailed the Yankees 3-2 as the series came back to Arizona.  Look at 1991,  when the Twins did it to the Braves,  1987 when the Twins did it to the Cardinals,  1986 when the Mets bounced the Red Sox, 1985 when the Royals did it to the Cardinals (St. Louis was up 3-1). The Cardinals did it to the Brewers in 1982,  Pirates to the Orioles in 1979, and it goes on and on.  It seems to be that if a team comes back home at all,  they win it.  And we've seen what the Angels can do.  At least the Giants have shown that they CAN win a game in Anaheim (game 1).  We shall see.
