I'm Glad the Giants Won

Don't get me wrong I want them to lose eventually,  The Mets were just way too banged up to give the Cubs a competitive series. I can't stand Madison Bumgarner, but you have to tip your cap. Syndergaard was more dominant, but Bumgarner was more efficient.

I'm not even sure what I want to happen in the Cubs/Giants series.  My personal preference is that I would love to see the Nats or Dodgers make the World Series. I have man crushes on Kershaw, Scherzer and Harper. My fear is that my preseason pick of the Cubs/Red Sox will come true.  It would be a great matchup but the media coverage would be insufferable.

Seriously, can you imagine all the gooey promos and hot takes about a Cubs/Red Sox World Series. Ratings would be through the roof, but you would have the skip all the pregame and watch it on mute. Might be worth to check out the Spanish broadcast.  Although I could probably recall enough of my high school Spanish to know that they are talking about the curse of the goat, Grandpa David Ross and Big Papi.

I bet the commissioner would cry if the Indians/Nats made the World Series.  I think a rugby match on Fox Sports 1 would get better ratings.

How about a card!

2016 Topps Series 2 Sean Rodriguez Clear Acetate /10

It has been a few months since I've added a clear parallel.  I'm always on the hunt, but the Ebay well has gone dry.  Thankfully this one came to auction a few weeks back and didn't get much attention. The winning bid was a shade under $10.  That is very cheap for the clear parallels.  I'm sure this selling price makes Sean Rodriguez unhappy.


Thanks for reading! Enjoy all the games.

  1. The coverage would be absolutely insufferable, even to this Cubs fan. That said, I'd listen to a booth of Curt Schilling, Joe Morgan and, heck, John Rocker if it meant the. Cubs were playing ANYONE in the Worls Series.

    1. As Cubs fans you should be ecstatic. For the actual baseball the idea of a Red Sox/Cubs series would be great. For just general baseball fans it will be exhausting.

  2. My hands get sore just watching Sean Rod punch that jug.

    Ouch...

    1. The funny thing is that Sean Rod is such a soft spoken guy. He definitely has a "game personality"

  3. S-Rod hates Gatorade.

    I have to say that I can respect the way MadBum gets the job done - really old school. It was too bad that Thor had to come out of the game, I would have loved dueling complete game shutouts.
    Mostly I am disappointed that we will miss out on another Bartolo Colon start this year.

    1. I think he is sponsored by Powerade.

      I'm sure as Thor gets older he will learn to be a little more efficient. He is still amazing though. Legitimate Cy Young candidate.

  4. As a fan of lefties... I cheer for Kershaw and Mad Bum. Can't wait to see how the latter responds tomorrow night with his team in a hole.

    1. I'm sure Mad Bum will do great. That damn Cubs team has no holes though. If they get in the bullpen of the Giants then that series is over.
