			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ESPN SportsNation likes to get the fan&#8217;s input on sports, so it&#8217;s not surprising they&#8217;ve come out with <a title="another contest" href="http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/post/_/id/9232494/battle-mlb-uniforms" target="_blank">another contest</a> for the fans to vote on. This time it&#8217;s the fans debating/voting which teams have the best jerseys in baseball, and they have a bracket set up that looks like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/40/files/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-13-at-1.38.27-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5660" title="Screen Shot 2013-05-13 at 1.38.27 PM" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/40/files/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-13-at-1.38.27-PM.png" alt="" width="572" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>Detroit and St. Louis were decided to have the sweetest jerseys in their respective leagues, which I guess is fine. The Giants have the 5-12 seed matchup against the Colorado Rockies. I like the little graphic they put up for each matchup, and for the SF-COL one it looks like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/40/files/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-13-at-1.41.26-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5661" title="Screen Shot 2013-05-13 at 1.41.26 PM" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/40/files/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-13-at-1.41.26-PM.png" alt="" width="289" height="164" /></a></p>
<p>In case you&#8217;d like a reminder how sweet the orange jerseys look:</p>
<div id="attachment_5662" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/40/files/2013/05/73196141.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5662" title="MLB: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/40/files/2013/05/73196141-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">May 3, 2013; San Francisco, CA, USA; San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (28) hits an RBI double ahead of Los Angeles Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis (17) during the sixth inning at AT</p></div>
<p>Pretty nice, although most Dodger fans don&#8217;t like them, but whatever. Voting for the first round ends on Tuesday at 9 A.M. (EST, I&#8217;m assuming.)</p>
<p>Fan voting contests don&#8217;t always go the way popular opinion would normally put them, as you might argue the All Star Voting does, and ESPN&#8217;s other baseball contest that asked fans to decide the &#8220;Best Ballpark&#8221; did with Miller Park winning. Therefore, it stands to reason that it&#8217;s totally possible that the Giants might not win this contest, but they might not even make it out of the first round. If I had to predict a championship matchup based on the unpredictability of the fans, I&#8217;ll guess Houston vs. Atlanta with the Braves winning.</p>
<p>As for my opinion on which team has the best jerseys, well that&#8217;s biased. Outside of the Giants, I&#8217;d probably pick the Astros. Besides your favorite club, who&#8217;s got your favorite jersey?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The San Francisco Giants just finished taking three out of four from the Atlanta Braves, and the Giants will enjoy a day off tomorrow before taking on the Toronto Blue Jays in Canada. Within the last two games though, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/u/uptonju01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-aroundthefoghorn.com" target="_blank">Justin Upton</a></strong> has hated&#8230; <em>hated&#8230;</em> the bottom of the fifth. It was the worst inning ever for him, because he saw these three plays go towards him, and he didn&#8217;t get the optimal results he and Braves fans were hoping for.</p>
<p>Line drive number one: <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/scutama01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-aroundthefoghorn.com" target="_blank">Marco Scutaro</a></strong> hits one to Justin Upton in RF, ends up a triple</p>

<p><a href="http://imgur.com/jz4Mpqw"><img title="Hosted by imgur.com" src="http://i.imgur.com/jz4Mpqw.gif" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Line drive number two: <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/poseybu01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-aroundthefoghorn.com" target="_blank">Buster Posey</a></strong> goes oppo, Justin Upton doesn&#8217;t realize where the wall is and/or JUp gets a poor read on the ball, Posey ends up on 2nd.</p>

<p>Line drive number three: <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sandopa01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-aroundthefoghorn.com" target="_blank">Pablo Sandoval</a></strong> hits one not super hard, but Upton can&#8217;t bring it in, and decides to kick it around.</p>

<p><a href="http://imgur.com/2iU2dz6"><img title="Hosted by imgur.com" src="http://i.imgur.com/2iU2dz6.gif" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Yup, he&#8217;s seen better days for sure. The Giants are just glad he saw those days this weekend against them.</p>
