Wow. Here I thought the name “Giants” meant something. I thought it implied that the San Francisco Giants baseball team was “bigger” than other teams. Yet here we are, a day before the World Series is set to begin and these so-called Giants are just calling it quits? “Oh look at us, we won Game 7 and the NLCS, so we’re just going to pack it up and play the Detroit Tigers in the World Series because we don’t have to play the St. Louis Cardinals anymore.” Are you serious? That’s how you want to win, Giants?
For the first time in Major League Baseball history, a team could actually be as big as its name suggests and say, “You know what? One more game, winner takes all.” Sure, the Giants “don’t have to do that” and the league “wouldn’t let them do that” and it wouldn’t be “fair to the fans or the players”, but come on! That’s the worst string of logic I’ve ever seen!
Fine, Giants. Go play in your stupid, insignificant World Series. It’ll always have an asterisk next to it anyway. Years from now, I’ll be standing in Cooperstown with my grandson and my smoking hot 22-year old Blasian girlfriend and I’ll say, “Oh, the 2012 World Series? Yeah, that’s when the Giants were too afraid to play the Cardinals again. Don’t worry, nobody cares about that World Series anymore. Especially not since Nancy Pelosi sold California to the Kardashians.” So yeah, congrats Giants.

I’m sorry for your loss, Burnsy, I really am. :(
That being said, I am glad I won’t have to headbutt you.
I believe that your fantasy scenario of “one more game, winner take all” has already happened. They called it — Game 7 — or something like that.
Mmmmmmm bitterness. It goes down smooth.
+F*ck the Cardinals!
Burnsy,
If any team/series deserved a Game 8 it was 2006 NLCS Mets and Cards. Game seven was the most intense, emotionally up/down sporting events I’ve ever seen. Endy’s catch and double play alone warranted “running it back.” I’ve gotten over Beltran watching strike three, but I haven’t gotten over bringing Heilman back out in the t9th. During the season he pitched more than one inning 13 times, but only 3 of those times were after the All-Star break. Wagner was roughed up during the series, the Mets bullpen had most IP in baseball and that was Heilman’s best season as a Met but I don’t bring him back or keep on a short leash, like one hit. Just imagine if Cards lost in a close game or in the last inning.
I thought your asterisk would be applied to Melky Cabrera for helping the Giants win games to make the postseason AND Melky earning ASG MVP which awards his Giants home team advantage in the World Series.
The Cards season is over, Burnsy. They’re out. Get over it and stop trying to pass this schlock off as ‘content’.
Yeah Burnsy, get your shit together!
My apologies for posting humor on a sports humor website. Now please stop trying to pass your schlock off as trolling.
WOOOO YOU CANT RUIN THIS FOR ME BURNSY YEEHAAW
Burnsy, seeing how you are apart of the most intelligent group of fandom in baseball, I think you’re missing the bigger picture here. The Cards had to lose last night. They can’t win every year because then they would be too wealthy and successful. Other teams need the revenue too. It also helps to promote parody. Did the Cardinals win? No, but it’s what’s best for baseball. The burden of the cross you must bare for your team stepping aside for another is heroic, classy, and why you are apart of the most intelligent group of fans in allllllll of baseball.
I love how you’re mocking the intelligence of Cards fans and you spelled it “parody.”
Actually, I spelled it ‘it’ but spelled parity ‘parody.’ Egh, it’s late, I’m hungry.
*slow clap*
What you said, said no Giants fan ever.
Burnsy, the first World Series was ‘best out of nine’. But I don’t think they’re going to extend it now.
