Are you F'n kidding me?

Seriously?

THIS is what all those braided necklaces the MLB players are wearing are?

Good grief! I thought they were for some charity like the NFL's pink shoes.

Wait, the pink shoes are for breast cancer awareness and not because their pink spectral wavelengths resonate in opposition to the green harmonics of the field causing players to run faster and jump higher right?

I wonder if Fox will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge in despair if it is Rangers-Giants. They could provide a bus so all 15 people watching the games outside of those cities can see.

Nonsense. This series is pure culture war. San Francisco's ragtag bunch of Gay Jews, poets and unemployed sous chefs like Cody Ross and Brian Wilson vs. a bunch of secessionist Rednecks like Vlad Guerrero.

LOL - interesting take on it Strangler.

I find myself in a strange position, rooting perhaps for the first time for an American League team in the series. I think the Giants are the only team that could ever cause me to set aside my principles like that.

Imagine if it had been Yankees vs. Giants. Then I would have to figure out how to root for both teams to lose.

To the extent I care (I'm not among the 15 non Giants/Rangers fans that will be watching) I'm rooting

a) For Ron Washington, since I liked him when he was a coach with the As.
b) Against the Giants because visiting AT&T Park and asking where the trophy room is will be less fun if they have a trophy.

So much for a pitching dual tonight

As a lifelong Dodger fan, I don't have to tell you how disappointing a season it was. So when the playoffs began, I decided that, since I now reside in San Diego, I might as well root for the Padres. They lost. Then I thought it would be cool if Bobby Cox got one more ring so I cheered for the Braves. They lost. Couldn't root for the despised Giants so my loyalties went to the City of Brotherly Love. They lost. Finally, with nowhere else to turn, I thought certainly Texas can beat the Giants, after what they did to the Yanks. And here we are.

Worst. season. ever.

I've endured more losses than any fan ever should, and yet, I still feel sadness that there is no more baseball this year.
