Your New World Champions!

Definitly it is not going to be the Rockies.
It's kind of cute to see the enthusiasm of the Rockies fans. They haven't been here before; they are not quite sure what to do with themselves...
I am a Dodgers fan. I remember the day that Reggie Jackson took my innocence from me back in October of '77...
I also remember when he hit 3 homers in one world series game....
See what I did there? I implied he molested me in addition to hitting those home runs. Ahh good times..
On a serious note? When I am President King I will have Reggie to the White House and I will punch him in the face.
Then I will put George Steinbrenner on trial for tax evasion and once he realizes that we are not going to stop until he is bankrupt we will offer him a deal. He can plea out and walk away and his only punishment is that he can never so much as watch a baseball game again, let alone ruin the game any further.
When I am president king the salary cap will be respected dammit!

But that's not what I wanted to talk about.
Last night I saw an interesting bit of parenting going on at Coors Field.
There was a kid with a sign.
Wait.
First, what the hell is that?
I have never taken a sign to the ballpark. Never even thought about it.
What kind of person does that?
"Lets see I like crafts, I like the game, and I am a complete attention whore...Ima' make a sign."
So there they are in the outfield, holding up the sign
"HIT THE BALL HERE" and a big bull's eye in the middle.
fine....except? There is a hole in the middle of the bull's eye and out from that hole pops little Chad's head.
How does that happen?

DAD: you know hun' I am super excited about these World Series tickets we got here.
MOM: me too baby! Whoo-we I can't wait.
DAD: you know what would make it super awesome for me?
MOM: if I gave you a BJ while we was watchin' the game?
DAD: well that too baby....but I was thinkin'....what if it was bottom of the 9th, 2 out, Rockies down by 3, bases loaded, Hawp comes up and hits a home run right to us...
MOM: perfect!
DAD: wait, hang on...and then the home run hits little Chad here right in his stupid face!
MOM: oh baby that would be better than our honeymoon at Talledega and the time you won $20 on that scratcher ticket combined!
DAD: I know! But how we gonna' make that happen?
MOM: Umm, a big ass sign?

That's just a guess...
