Idiots Write About Sports

The National League West Champion and defending National League Champion San Francisco Giants clinched the division last night. And so today, in an afternoon game against the out-of-it Padres, we got to see the ultimate in give-ups.

Your champions’ line-up today: Eric Young, Neifi Perez, Jeffrey Hammonds, Pedro Feliz, Andres Galarraga, Todd Linden, Yorvit Torrealba, Tony Torcato, Sidney Ponson. What, no Alberto Castillo?

Fans who went to today’s game should demand a refund. And the Giants should’ve just opened the turnstiles today — call it the division-clinching hangover game, and let the whole damned city in free to see Todd Linden.
