Wrong answers only. It’s Friday, and we deserve a laugh.
Good morning, baseball fans!
Justin Verlander has now started 15 games for the San Francisco Giants and he has still yet to receive a winning decision. I’ve said it before, pitcher wins aren’t much of an indication of success on the whole, more often they are used for incentives, etc. It’s still really odd that Verlander cannot get a win.
Today is Friday, and it has been one heck of a week, so I thought we’d give our theories as to what is going on. But wrong answers only. The point is to have a laugh at the situation, not to get angry or attack him personally. So let’s hear them.
I’ll go first. Okay, so hear me out, Justin Verlander found a crescent shaped crystal while he was vacationing on a seemingly uninhabited island before the season started. There was no one around to ask about it, so he pocketed it and took it home with him. He’s always had an interest in archeology and geology, so he planned to investigate it during his time in San Francisco.
Unfortunately, the island was not actually uninhabited. It was inhabited by the spirits of the careers of Matt Cain, Logan Webb, and Madison Bumgarner. And they are still pissed about their lack of run support in some of their very best-pitched games. So now they’re making it Verlander’s problem by causing chaos and refusing to allow him to get a win. Cain and Bumgarner are also still pretty petty about 2012 and how everyone expected the Detroit Tigers to win going into the series.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
