Season 25 Final Major League Wrap Up

SAN DIEGO PADRES SEASON 25 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS

Padres and Post-Season MVP Mike Harper (SP) Sweeps the Heavily Favorite Anaheim Angeles 


Detroit, MICH (McC) – In the most SHOCKING World Series in recent memory, the San Diego Padres (96-66) swept the Anaheim Angels (112-50) in a series believed to be on paper the mismatch of the century. The Padres were unfairly in Mike Harper (R) (5-1, 201 OAV, 1.00 Whip, 2.34 ERA) came to the party with a broom and dust pan, and left with a World Series Ring.
stalled as a 200-1 underdog by McCabe Magazine’s online gambling site and the MGM Sportsbook.  McCabe Magazine’s Playoff Most Valuable Player, San Diego starting pitcher

The defending champion, Anaheim was our preseason choice to win season 25 World Series, and after dominating the American League with 112 wins the Robert E. McCabe trophy was well on its way to Disneyland. All-Star and Cy Young award winner Vince Garcia (P) Anaheim Angel started 6 playoff games going 3-2, with a 1.85 ERA (0.82 Whip, .166 OAV), but got no run support. Angel Anderson led the team during the regular season with 35 Home Runs and 119 RBI, 310 BA was a no-show in Anaheim’s 15 post-season games, hitting 3 HR while batting .262 and a pathetic .778 OPS.      
The staff here at McCabe Magazine was all-in on the Angels. We were so infatuated with the Angels we had several members of the team take photos with World Series replica Rings to be used on the cover of McCabe Magazine’s post-season issue. Not so fast, said the 5 time champions from southern California. San Diego finished the post-season with a 14-5 record and a 2.71 ERA. Pitching Coach Peter Westbrook, the architect of the most dominating pitching staff in the majors, told us “they have Garcia and Adam Bradford (23-6, 2.21 ERA),.. What you guys forgot was we have Harper,  Asdrubal Pelaez (16-9, 3.06 ERA), Tom Pridie (post-season 4-0, 2.14 ERA), and 3 time Firemen of the Year Pedro Manuel (post-season 11 of 12 saves, 0.82 Whip, 1.23 ERA), we have won 8 pennants and 5 World Series,.. I don’t know what you guys are smoking, but you better stop, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.”
