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.”
