The San Franciso Giants lasooed Philadelphia Phillies ace pitcher Roy 'Doc' Halladay with two Cody Ross homers. HUMONGOUS!
Someone with either the genius of an Einstein or the dyslexia of an ESL student pointed out that Cody Ross spelled backwards is Ssory Doc (Sorry Doc), as in sorry Doc Halladay for hitting two homers off you and beating your Phillies 4-3 in game 1 of the NLCS.
Cody Ross, the former Florida Marlins castaway who's referred to as the 'accidental Giant', is being hailed as the Giants playoff mvp player to date thanks in part to his 5-RBI and .353 batting average this post season. Cody and Giants pitching have played a Huge role in the teams' post-season success, none bigger than last night's success in the city of Brotherly Love.
Remember folks, Philadelphia fans once booed Santa Claus at an Eagles game. They tried getting to the Giants starting pitcher last night with whistles and catcalls, but the Freak weathered the storm and delivered the goods.
Giants ace pitcher Tim 'The Freak' Lincecum went seven strong innings and appeared to be getting stronger after throwing 100 pitches. The Freak matched the Doc in number of home runs (2) given up, but the Phillies ace seemed just a bit more shaken by his and the Giants hitters smelled it.
Cody FREAKIN Ross has got us Giants fans seriously believing that this just might be the year. Their magic number is now 7.
Go Giants!
cody might as well put on a pair of high heels and a dress to match the black pantyhose.
