        Hey, I’m amazed we even won that series. The Friars are sketchy at best and the Guards have been on a roll for awhile.

            I’m not a militant fan at all. The Padres are my main team, but I have no problem respecting other talent and giving credit where credit is due. The Dodgers are my mortal money, but even I can admit they got some rock solid talent on that team.

              What? They aren’t military…the name is based on The Guardians of Traffic. Which are 4 statues that sit on the bridge right outside the stadium. These statues watch over Cleveland traffic on that bridge ensuring you get across the bridge safely. They were built at a time when automobiles were fairly new, and driving a car across a bridge over a body of water (in this case a river) was brand new and scary. So these were sculpted as a way to ease travelers minds, that the spirit of The Guardians was watching over them to ensure safe travels.

                Uhhh, what? Either you didn’t understand my previous comment, or I didn’t type it out in a very cohesive way, because I have no idea what you’re talking about.
