It's Memorial Day Weekend and that means the unofficial start of Summer with lots of barbecues, beer and baseball! The Giants start a 3 game series tonight with the Rockies and to quote Kuip, it's going to be a "grudge match".
The Giants went into a 4 game series last Thursday with the Rockies having complete and total own-age over them. Granted this was part of the road trip that should never be mentioned or thought of again but the Giants got slapped around a little bit by our new NL West "rivals". No one liked this and I think the Giants have a little slapping of their own that needs to happen this weekend to re-establish the aforementioned own-age.
Now lets get petty. I'm about to breakdown all of the reasons the Rockies are not here to stay in a completely materialistic sense. We could talk stats and numbers and shear facts but where's the fun in that?
1. Uniforms - is Purple Pinstripes vs. Fierce Orange and Black even a question?

We are badass men who win championships.
2. Mascots - Dinger the Dinosaur vs. Lou Seal
Wait I thought I was at a baseball game and not in a Barney nightmare! Someone get me out of here!
Lou Seal is just a boss clearly. His dance moves are stellar. If you haven't seen this amazing commercial from 2003 do yourself a favor and watch it now.
3. Franchise History - Rockies established in 1993 Giants established in 1883
Sean likes to talk about how if you weren't a baseball team when he was a kid then you're not a real baseball team. The Giants have 120 years on the Rockies. Get outta here Rockies, you are the unwanted children of baseball.
To me, this is all very substantial and convincing evidence of the Giants being the superior team. Let's remind them of that this weekend. To quote my Mom (this is in a text she sent me today, true story), "Watch out Rockies you are in our house now."
Happy Orange Friday, Happy Lincecum Day and GO GIANTS!
P.S. Please feel free to add anything I may have missed on the Rockies lameness in the comments. :)
this was the commercial i was hoping for. i also look back to 2003 and reminisce on the times that slapping a seals ass was acceptable on television. good times.
