Looks like this bad boy's already been decided.
The count stands at 499 for the Giants and 154 for the Rangers as of this writing. If the customer is always right, and if MLB.com's readers are its customers, then it looks like the Giants have something like a 75% chance of wrapping it all up in Game 5.
What's funny is that MLB.com is tricking you. By clicking 'Like' next to one of the logos, you think you're simply submitting a vote for which team you think is going to win, or which team you want to win. But you're not. You're actually recommending either this article or this one to your friends on Facebook. How dare you trick me into recommending your content to my friends on Facebook, MLB.com. The only content I want to recommend to my friends on Facebook are YouTube videos of cats eating popcorn.
And don't think I didn't notice the pun in the headline. I mean Jesus Christ

I'm not entirely sure why but this is one of my favorite posts ever

Is it sad that the first thing I noticed...
…is that Darren O’Day looks like he’s trying the Cliff Lee Beard Starter Kit?
ghtd36 - November 1, 2010
What on earth is that guy about to do to Cliff Lee's ear?
Pete_ - November 1, 2010
He looks like he's going to start putting the moves on an unsuspecting Cliff
pdb - November 1, 2010
I thought it was the devil, whispering into Cliff's ear

The Kid from Dazed and Confused vs. A Ruggedly Handsome Man That Another Man Is Way Too Close To

IT'S NOT EVEN REALLY A PUN. C'MON YOU GUYS.

No, see, it's not the "Cliff" that's the joke. It's the "hanger"
of course referring to hanger steak, a cut of beef. Which is relevant because of the cattle ranching history of Texas and because the muscle it is cut from is attached to the last rib in a steer. So naturally, that evokes an Adam/Eve connotation which is clearly a play on Lincecum’s androgynous haircut.

Can't believe I missed that.

If Lincecum ever got a movie about him Joseph Gordon Levitt should be playing him.
He can probably pull off the stoner-hipsterish? persona.
w00tah - November 1, 2010
If anybody other than Wiley Wiggins plays Lincecum in a movie there's no point
pdb - November 1, 2010
agreed.
Ballard Erik - November 1, 2010
Shouldn't it be aces' shoulders?
I think Tim qualifies.
GiantBrass - November 1, 2010
I think it's just referring to Lee.
Thus only one ace.
Coach Owens - November 1, 2010
But the subtitle says "or Lincecum."
Sort of confusing. :(
GiantBrass - November 1, 2010
But the pun!
It wouldn’t be a pun if it was referring to Lincecum!
Coach Owens - November 1, 2010
So games are now being played based on webpage recs?
God, I wish they’d go back to the good ol’ days when they were played in a simulation on a computer in some guy’s basement.
ThomasG - November 1, 2010
Wait, no I don't.
Judging by Jeff’s output, the Mariners are destined to win the 2011 World Series and go on an unprecedented run of 23 consecutive titles.
ThomasG - November 1, 2010
I can't find the pun
Fett42 - November 1, 2010
Oh I get it because the aces got rest in between starts
Fett42 - November 1, 2010
For that matter, how was Lee proven to be a human?
No, no, none of this adds up!
Matthew - November 1, 2010
Everybody knows that if you have one bad game in the WS, you're doomed to have another!
Coach Owens - November 1, 2010
Not to mention I'm almost certain the game is not at 7:30 ET.
Fett42 - November 1, 2010
By tuning in at 5:15 pacific,
you actually get to see proportionally more baseball.

I was hoping for some sort of USDA testing

Well, that didn't taste like robot semen to me.

The puns have got to stop.
I know everyone has already complained about them, but for the love of god. Aren’t there any writers out there who can get my attention without making me want to stab my eyes out with a toothpick?
