Los Gigantes swept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga.

I wish it had been the A's instead.

4. Isn't of "Rancho Cucamonga"?
Just want to be accurate since they swept the team that used to feature the world's biggest cheater.

6. Ask Jack Benny why he dropped the "Rancho".

7. History after Jack Benny and Mel Blanc...
Wiki says: The city was incorporated in 1977, as a result of a merger among the unincorporated communities of Alta Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda.

Mighty funny names here.

It is the home of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the California League who play at The Epicenter on Jack Benny Way.

5. What can I say?
everything that could go wrong, did. However, every team in baseball gets swept occasionally..

Fortunately, despite the last 3 days, the Giants are still only 1 game back in the wild card

11. No ..
choking is failure to come through under pressure...for example, dropping a pop up in the bottom of the 9 at Yankee Stadium with 2 outs and runners on base. Or blowing division leads to the Phillies in 2 straight Septembers...one year losing 12 of 17, the next 10 of the final 17.

Now that's REAL CHOKING!!

12. Or taking over the wild card lead
and going on a losing streak.

Either way, to some degree you have to be a good team in order to choke. The Giants are not a good team so It's not like I can say that they choked.

They suck ass.
