But the gut punch comes in how they play better small ball and make better pinch-hitting and lineup adjustments to edge the Rockies. The Giants usually have better pitching and a stronger roster.

Many are Dodger-related, but the Giants are often a larger barrier. There are many reasons the Rockies have never won the NL West.

In the 30 years the Rockies have existed, they have earned five playoff berths and one NL Pennant with zero NL West or World Series wins meanwhile, the Giants have won three World Series, four NL Pennants, six division titles, and earned nine playoff berths. The Giants are a storied franchise with 21 NL Pennants and eight World Series championships. Last season, the Rockies beat the Giants on May 18 to snap San Francisco’s 12-game winning streak against them. The Giants have swept the Rockies seven times since 2021 and hold an 11-game winning streak against Colorado dating back to 2022. The Rockies are 9-22 against the Giants since 2021. Since 2019, the Rockies are 22-48 (.314) against the Giants. San Francisco has won the season series against Colorado 21 times in 30 seasons. In 30-plus years of matchups, the Rockies are 282-221 against San Francisco, which translates to a. Another losing streak at the hands of the Giants.įor the Rockies, it’s déjà vu all over again. No longer would I put myself through that torture.Another blown lead. I barely made it half way through the season before I was too disgusted to continue. Excuse me, what? That was the last straw for me. They even had a gymnast make herself puke up her breakfast because it was 'too fattening'. Episode after episode, they had parents allowed on the competitive floor, gymnasts conspiring against each other, girls scaring away an urban gang with cartwheels, scratched routines being performed, and a whole lot of other craziness. That's the kind of dismount I want to see. Imagine Olympic All Around gold medalist Nastia Liukin, concentrating on her dismount, taking a long, deep breath, pounding down the beam, propelling herself into the air, pulling off a 2.5 twisting back layout, sticking the landing, and making the whole thing look easy. The second I saw the 'best beam routine in the country' end with a cartwheel back tuck dismount, I lost any remaining respect I had for the whole show.

The pilot episode of the show, a crucial time for the viewer to judge a show on it's believability, features nationally ranked, elite gymnasts competing compulsory level skills. One huge problem I had with the show right off the bat was the content of the gymnast's competitive routines. It was immediately clear that the producers don't have a clue what real gymnastics is like. It was impossible to just sit back and enjoy the show without being constantly distracted by all the inaccuracies around the sport of gymnastics. ABC Family and the creators of Make It or Break It accomplished exactly the opposite of that. You'd think that with the show centering on the lives of four Olympic hopefuls, the producers would aim to create a program that real gymnasts could get behind and appreciate. And I haven't even gotten to the gymnastics part of the review yet. The comedic scenes are ruined by the actor's lack of timing, the joyful scenes seem fake with their plastered on smiles and school girl giggling, and the dramatic scenes are just about as believable as the surprised look on a kids face when he unwraps a brand new pair of socks for Christmas. Their actors and actresses have about the same amount of acting knowhow as I do-none. I've been forced to sit through episodes of Secret Life of the American Teenager and Pretty Little Liars, so I know ABC Family accepts nothing but the 'highest' quality actors. If you're going to watch this show, expect horrendous acting. It is silly, it is inaccurate and it is above all offensive to gymnasts. Make It or Break It is just about as bad as they come.

I will never understand how even non-gymnasts could tolerate one full episode of this show, let alone get invested in the characters and the story lines as some of my friends did. I couldn't get through the first five minutes of it without feeling offended by the mockery it makes of the sport of gymnastics. I have never been so wrong-and if you knew me you'd know just how horrible this show is if I'm admitting I was wrong about something.

What could be better than a TV show that I could actually relate to? I knew this show would become an instant favorite of mine. So, when I saw the commercials for this show, I was pretty pumped. When you spend 20+ hours per week in a smelly gym, you don't have time to waste on angsty teen dramas.
