This is gonna be a good series. I really want to see how the Giants manage to pull this one off. I figure it'll be a complete game shutout by hudson followed by a madbum grand slam, but who knows?

I'm gonna fall on the side of the Orioles on the American League. Partly because of a great mascot, but also because I want an Orange and Black WS.

I dislike the Giants' success because they seem to be able to respond to the pressure and win when they have to in order to accomplish their overall goal, whereas my team seems to mainly focus their skills on losing exactly when they need to in order to do the opposite.

I know thats a bunch of bullshit #narrative reasons to want a team to fail, but when another team coasts into the playoffs on magic dust over and over with contributions coming from all over and your team goes twenty years without being able to even secure a wildcard appearance, you will become naturally resentful.

That said, Buster, Timmy and Panda are all about as likeable as professional athletes can be and Bochy is a pretty cool dude and they play in a really nice park. I don't think I hate any of the Giants, but gently caress do I ever hate the Giants.

Go Royals. Don't make me cheer for the Giants.

Honestly, given the Giants' success, I'm surprised more people don't absolutely despise them. They deserve to be hated for their success, as any team with recent success does, but you just look at Panda and Timmy and Bochy all having fun and go :3:

Trust me. In KC, we have heard all about Lorde, whether we wanted to or not.

Well, he is from Colorado, which isn't that far away. Figured Lorde would be a rockies fan though.

...Lorde is a woman, and she's from New Zealand.

But I know your feelings on South Park.
