Bad News, Texas

PrintLooks like this bad boy's already been decided.
The count stands at 499 for the Giants and 154 for the Rangers as of this writing. If the customer is always right, and if MLB.com's readers are its customers, then it looks like the Giants have something like a 75% chance of wrapping it all up in Game 5.
What's funny is that MLB.com is tricking you. By clicking 'Like' next to one of the logos, you think you're simply submitting a vote for which team you think is going to win, or which team you want to win. But you're not. You're actually recommending either this article or this one to your friends on Facebook. How dare you trick me into recommending your content to my friends on Facebook, MLB.com. The only content I want to recommend to my friends on Facebook are YouTube videos of cats eating popcorn.
And don't think I didn't notice the pun in the headline. I mean Jesus Christ

Is it sad that the first thing I noticed...
…is that Darren O’Day looks like he’s trying the Cliff Lee Beard Starter Kit?

No, see, it's not the "Cliff" that's the joke. It's the "hanger"
of course referring to hanger steak, a cut of beef. Which is relevant because of the cattle ranching history of Texas and because the muscle it is cut from is attached to the last rib in a steer. So naturally, that evokes an Adam/Eve connotation which is clearly a play on Lincecum’s androgynous haircut.

If Lincecum ever got a movie about him Joseph Gordon Levitt should be playing him.
He can probably pull off the stoner-hipsterish? persona.
Shouldn't it be aces' shoulders?
I think Tim qualifies.
Look at my website. Look at it. || Screw Johnsonville Sausages and Safeway. I have my reasons. || I pity the fool that falls in love with [THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS]
But the subtitle says "or Lincecum."
Sort of confusing. :(

So games are now being played based on webpage recs?
God, I wish they’d go back to the good ol’ days when they were played in a simulation on a computer in some guy’s basement.
Wait, no I don't.
Judging by Jeff’s output, the Mariners are destined to win the 2011 World Series and go on an unprecedented run of 23 consecutive titles.
For that matter, how was Lee proven to be a human?
No, no, none of this adds up!
By tuning in at 5:15 pacific,
you actually get to see proportionally more baseball.

The puns have got to stop.
I know everyone has already complained about them, but for the love of god. Aren’t there any writers out there who can get my attention without making me want to stab my eyes out with a toothpick?
