Game 2 World Series Related Rants

My rants, thoughts and musings during the Giants game two victory over the Texas Rangers. 

- To start, i cant stand the unbelievably obnoxious commercials that air during the post season. 


First, the DirecTV commercial with Eli Manning and that unbearable Kris Allen jingle in the background. "Hey eh, heh, eh, eh eh, hey....." Oh my god that commercial makes me want to stab somebody. Somehow it manages to combine three things I hate, into one miserable 30 second clip. 1st, the radio abusing Kris Allen, who's terrible music manages to show up everywhere, 2nd, the vastly overrated Eli Manning and 3, the relentless showing of this damn commercial! 


Second, the Domino's commercial, where we are supposed to believe that a focus group is surprised that they are in a gigantic field of cows. Let me ask you this Domino's, "How exactly did you get four people in a small building in the middle of a gigantic field, without them realizing that they were in a small building in the middle of a gigantic field? Yea, riddle me that Domino's. 


- Anyone ever notice that Cody Ross throws left and bats right? Weird. 


- Is it just me, or does Matt Cain look like big bird? 




Might be a stretch, but the thought of bird bird pitching to Napolean Dynamite (Buster Posey) is an amusing one. 


- There are a lot of guys on the Giants that are underrated, and have not gotten much, if any media attention. But by far the most undervalued Giant has got to be Juan Uribe. 


Not usually recognized for his defense, Uribe has made numerous game changing plays from both the third base and shortstop positions. That alone is incredibly valuable, the fact that he keeps coming up with big hits, is just gravy.


Uribe has never been consistent enough to put up big stats in a full season, but his value has not gone unnoticed in this post season, where his stellar defense and clutch hitting have been a big part of the Giants success. 

- I would consider it difficult to find 15 better positional players in baseball better than Buster Posey. I've said it before and I will say it again, Posey is the reincarnation of Derrick Jeter, only as a catcher. Forgot rookie of the year, this guy stands up right there with the best in the game. 


- Did Joe Buck just say that Brian Wilson is friends with Zack Galifanakis? Geez. Add that to the growing list of reasons why I want to party with Brian Wilson. 


- HAHAHA!!! Jeff Franceour's beard is SO lame. What a loser! How dumb do you have to be to walk up to home plate with that thing on your face. Didn't any of his teammates point out that the beards are a part of the Giants clubhouse. 


Man, Brian Wilson's beard would kill him in a beard off. Straight up, street style, or even aussie rules. 


- Just a random thought as the Giants close out game 2. Shouldn't we just go ahead and contract the Oakland A's? As a 50/50 Giants A's fan my whole life, I honestly don't give one iota about the A's right now. I feel like they could sneak away to Las Vegas and nobody would notice. Or even just disappear altogether. Its a Giants town now baby!
