For a fanbase with a team that is 2-0 and in first place of the NFC West, Niners fans sure aren't enjoying things. Well, Niners fans can be placed into two groups, the "we're just happy to be here" group and the "my eyes...they burn!" group. Criticism seems to be over their offensive performance which has in a word, kinda sucked. Is Nolan too conservative? Is Alex Smith ready? Is Smith really all that good to begin with? Was last year's offensive improvement just due to Norv Turner? Did James Spader really beat James Gandolfini for "Best Actor in a Dramatic Series?" And what's the over/under on the 49ers getting over 100 yards against the Steely McBeans? We dunno. All we know is that the implosion of the New Orleans Saints is killing us fantasy football and we are NOT happy.
Anyways, in honor of the passing of Brett Somers to the Great Gameshow Panel in the sky, we present the baseball scores all Match Game style.
Giants 8 DBacks 5- The Giants rallied to win despite the fact their bullpen once again ____________ a lead.
Mariners 4 A's 0- Dan Haren lost his fourth straight game because the A's offense was unable to ____________ any runs.
Seriously, did Spader really win an Emmy over Gandolfini?
