Music: Spider Pig Lyrics from the Simpson's Movie

There you go.

Spider Pig
Spider Pig
Does whatever a Spider Pig does
Can he swing from a web?
No he cant, he’s a pig.
Look out!
He is a Spider pig!!

Interesting stats:
Angels total runs scored 267
Dodgers total runs scored 272
Angels ERA 3.85
Dodgers ERA 3.83

So they seem like similar teams?
