Obligatory Giant Upset Joke Goes Here

Every once in awhile today, I'd find myself smiling for no apparent reason. And I'd think "why am I smiling? I'm sitting in my tiny car, stuck in traffic on 95 going North, I'm behind a Beamer with a gun rack, we're not moving, and I really have to pee."

And then I'd remember. "Oh yeah. The Giants won the NLCS."

And then I'd think "oh yeah. The Phillies aren't going to the World Series."

And thus the gloating and rampant assholery are silenced even earlier this year than they were in 2009.

And we get to enjoy Brian Wilson and his insane beard, which, apparently, is dyed (I knew that couldn't be natural).

So JCD and Vittoria both called the winner and the correct number of games, and another 3 of us (myself, Jeni, and Tyler) called the winner.

Your standings, as we head into the final round:

JCD =14
Vittoria =13
Tyler = 11
Jeni = 10
Steve G. = 9
mighty momogus = 8
FOX = 6
jordanbaker = 6
WaPo = 6
Beefy Muchacho = 0

You know, I just picked the teams I wanted to win, and a high number of games to reflect their tough opponents. It's too bad I don't believe in magical thinking. I'll be able to watch the World Series with pleasure this year. The only thing that would have made the previous series more satisfying would have been if a brawl had broken out in the ALCS and Nolan Ryan had gotten ARod in a headlock and pummeled him.

Ha! I can't believe I'm so high up! This never happens! :D Even if I get no more points, I'm happy. :)
