Game Thread: 9/30 dogs @ Ex-Champs

[LHG]

In my mind, when you've been eliminated from defending the title, you're an ex-champ.

Then who are the reigning champs? Someone has to be the champion until a new one is crowned.

Than your mind is wrong...

I feel like this is the movie Major League and we're arguing whether the Home Run was hit to high or too hard.

"Who gives a shit, it's gone!"

Good evening gents.

But its not gone yet, not for another month!

Think of it this way, the new president is about to get elected but is not able to take office yet. The Giants are the lame duck champions of the "world".

Evening, filo.

Exactly. If the Giants are not the Champs when they are eliminated, who is? Baseball cannot have a vacuum here. The Champs are the Champs until someone else takes the WS. Until then, it is the Giants. No "ex" about it. Though it is a wee bit depressing that we will not repeat this year.

If the Giants are eliminated, it's actually very much like the presidential election.....I don't care.



(Or my joke wasn't funny.....which is entirely plausible)

No, its because we are too stubborn to give up our side on something that is a bit trivial (or is it?).

That was a joke? Why didn't you tell us in the first place?

Who is the "we" to whom you refer, Kimosabe?

 

[LHG]

Back to the game, it seems the outfield and infield are two entirely different lineups today. The infield is 1 for 1 with a home run and 2 walks. The outfield is 0-3 with 3 strikeouts.

My alts? (too early to make those kinds of jokes?)

Dues.....raised. No joke.

 

[Stokes1931]

Ah man. Again?

May be too obscure.....but I'm gonna go for it.....

The royal "we", you know, the editorial?

If that works for you, I can see it.

Doesn't work for me. Once you've been eliminated, to me, you're no longer the champ. The throne is vacant.
