Dana Eveland?

And here I didn’t think it was possible for a baseball player to have a less macho name than Madison Bumgarner.

Not on Channel 12….in Sactown that is…whoever the NBC affilliate is in SF. They’ve got Jon and Kruk in the box.

Adoptive papa to Omar...so basically I'm screwed.

It’s Channel 11 nowadays, or channel 3 on cable systems. Which is weird. The Giants are supposed to be on Channel 2 and NBC is supposed to be Channel 4.

Could be worse – could’ve been the days before the Internet, when all you got as a Giants fan on the east coast was a box score in the paper the next day. Sometimes two days later. That sucked.

Is it true that the A’s took out a full page ad saying WHAT BATTLE?

Because if so…

There was a half page one in the Chronicle today that said something like “Battle of the Bay!” but they crossed out Battle and it said, “It’s not really a battle if we’ve won 8 of 9 MIRITE?”

Am I wrong in thinking that A’s fans are giving the Red Sox fans a run for their money in the being enormous twats category?

Well yeah, I was just on a rant. I’m a little sore that I burned the rice, so I just went with the anger.

All you need is this one: Vita Clay Rice/Slow cooker. I’ve had it for almost a year, and it makes perfect rice every time. The clay pot is pretty awesome.

That’s a little ironic, seeing that the A’s fans seem waaaaaaay more into this “rivalry” than the Giants fans are.

The best comeback to any pompus A’s fan is to not-so-quietly remind them that their team wears WHITE EFFING CLEATS!!!

A few years back I went to a Giants-A’s game. On the ferry back to Oakland, there were some A’s fans with shirts showing needles and the phrase “San Francisco BALCOS – Guilty.”

It’s always great when other teams’ fans are self-righteous over the Giants and steroids, but it was especially brilliant with A’s fans, what with their major offensive stars of the last twenty years – you know, Canseco, McGwire, Giambi, and Tejada – are all totally beyond suspicion.

by jcb9 on Jun 27, 2008 7:12 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Nobody

has the right to be self-righteous, because EVERY FUCKING TEAM did steroids. That’s why it’s called an epidemic.

It’s like the time these stupid-ass Padres fans were all OOH BONDS STEROIDS and I just said, “Uh Caminiti guys?” Then they went yeah Giants suck! I couldn’t really argue with them there…

I’ve missed the last few gameday threads, and the G-men have been less-than-stellar. Even Timmah had a bad outing.

Am I remembering wrong,

or was there a stretch last year when Corriea was like a shutdown pitcher? Or was it 06? Or did it never happen?

by bondslegend on Jun 27, 2008 7:16 PM PDT   0 recs

you remember right

after he was put in the rotation last year he was lights out

by Viliphied on Jun 27, 2008 7:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

he was pretty good as a starter at the end of last year.
