Logline: Overrated SS Juan Uribe looks for stardom by signing to play with the Los Angeles Dodgers only to find not only did he leave his heart in San Francisco, he also left his chances at victory.
Synopsis: The San Francisco Giants, champions of baseball, send their two-time Cy Young winning and three-straight reigning strikeout king Tim Lincecum to the mound against an overmatched underdog—Los Angeles Dodgers. In this story though, the underdog is the underdog for a reason, and it all starts at the top.
The divorce of the co-owners of The Los Angeles Dodgers is a typical LA Story. Heartless capitalist gets tired of lady love's continuous plastic surgeries which leads to an emotionless group of ballplayers on the field playing just for the money.
The Giants however are a rag tag group of veterans whose love for the game has kept them playing through any adversity. Whether it's spending nearly a decade in the minors like CF Andres Torres before getting his one chance to stick in the major leagues or a veteran player who has found new life with a new club based on friendship and chemistry like Pat Burrell who reunited with college teammate Aubrey Huff.
In this game, the champion deserves to be champion, and on 3/31/11, they return to the field to rub it in.
