Dodgers vs Giants

How the West will be won!

We're doing the whole "Bye" thing again, this time it's gonna go to the Reds. After this match-up that'll give us our winners for the East, Central and West. Was that an intentional thing I was trying to do? No. Does it make it look like I've got a plan. Yes.

So anyway, we're pitting the Superbas, uhh I mean the Robins, ummm... the Trollie Dodgers up against the Gothams, shit, I mean the Giants. Ahh, the good 'ol days.

This could be an interesting one. The Dodgers are the complete opposite of the Giants, with a powerhouse and numerous lineup with only 2 pitchers compared to the Giants "unbeatable" staff and weak hitting. How will it play? Only time will tell. Only, time... will tell.

Aaron Rowand vs Orlando Hudson "UP"
I haven't kept up with the O-Dog story this year so far. Is he signed yet? I could just Google it, but then what else would I write here?
Dodgers-10 Giants-8

Jesus Guzman "Red" vs Andre Ethier
This was the Giants only real hope hitting wise, to get their parallel up against a base.
Dodgers-9 Giants-8

Freddy Sanchez vs Jim Thome
I can't belive how under the radar Thome has continued to fly. It seems every other week he's passing another immortal on the all time HR list and all he gets is 5 seconds of mention before ESPN switches off to pretend like they're surprised when another football player is being accused of rape or murder or sending pictures of his pecker. Sigh...
Dodgers-9 Giants-7

Jesus Guzman "Red" vs Matt Kemp
Only card left for the Giants, but the Dodgers have a couple parallels of their own. If they don't show up for awhile though, then the Giants can still do some damage.
Dodgers-8 Giants-7

Jesus Guzman "Red" vs Matt Kemp "Red"
"...but the Dodgers have a couple parallels of their own."
Dodgers-8 Giants-6

Tim Lincecum vs Clayton Kershaw
Is it just me or does it seem like Kershaw's been around for longer than just 3 years? I guess that's just what happens since Bowman prints cards of players who are still in f 'ckin high school. Anyways, the Timster wins. (Was that weird? Did I just make that weird?)
Dodgers-7(1) Giants-6(6)

Tim Lincecum "Copper" vs Chad Billingsley
This card is basically unbeatable. And it just beat the Dodgers...
Dodgers-6(0) Giants-6(6)

Pitching Advantage- Giants

Final score- Ginats-6
Dodgers-5

Unfortunately, I think we just gave Night Owl another reason to hate the Giants.
