Giants sweep Rockies

[Jack Rabbit]

Today, they didn't even have to come from behind to do it.

They tried to give Colorado the game gift wrapped Friday night, but the Rockies wouldn't take it.

Once upon a time, when China was the greatest nation in the world, other nations would renew trade with China by sending a tribute mission to the Emperor. The other nations (whom the Chinese regarded as barbarians) would send their ambassadors to the imperial court with trinkets, and the Emperor of China would demonstrate the generosity and superiority of his realm by giving them gifts of fine silk or other wondrous products that could only be found in the celestial kingdom.

Well, it works that way nowadays, too. Except it is no longer China and its surrounding kingdoms; it is California (no northern required; California is where the Gold Rush was and where the Redwoods are) and the inferior states surrounding it (such as Southern California).

So, every September, the Giants and the Artless Dodgers play a three-game series in San Francisco, which, as we all know, is the center of the universe. And the Dodgers take two out of three or three straight. So how does this relate to the tribute mission?

What do the Dodgers, the representatives of Southern California culture, offer the rest of the world every Fall? Why, the Fall television schedule, of course. And what is that worth? It's garbage!! It gets worse every year.

So, it's a tribute mission. The Dodgers come to the center of the universe offering all Southern California has -- the Fall television schedule. I mean, Yeucch!! What trinkets!! And what do the Giants, as representatives of the celestial kingdom, offer the barbarians in return? Why, three games in the standings. What could possibly be more precious than that?

Now that proves the generosity and superiority of Californians toward Southern Californians. You give us network television, and we give you a trip to World Series.

Are we generous, or are we not?

You better say we are, or we will kick ass in September and go to the World Series ourselves!!
