Evil A's fan
I do not like whoever was the A's fan who sponsored this page. Why don't they put that money to good use, like helping to pay Zito's salary

He spent money to glorify what might be the weakest starter on the Giants. It sounds like he thinks Zito would help the current A’s rotation. Well I am glad to see not all the Knuckle Head fans go to Mays Field.

That fan is a typical A’s fan. 90% of them are jerks.

Please present statistical evidence
90? That seems a little high. Every team’s got fans who are jerks, but 90? C’mon!!

The actual number is 86.9, SFGuy rounded up.

All the prancing and squawking they do still doesn’t make up for the fact that no one gives a damn about the Oakland Athletics, not now not ever.
Also, I hate it when someone says they would do something “in a heartbeat.” Shut up.

Eh, if I got worked up over every A’s fan who had a bone to pick with the Giants, I’d be… let’s see… carry the one… fairly worked up by now.
I’ll just ignore their jerk fans, embrace their cool fan(s), and quietly root for them until they play us.

Thank you
Getting all bent out of shape over what one person says on a webpage he sponsors… probably not worth your time. I’m surprised there’s even a fanpost about it…

Some people even ignore Fanshots when they’re reading them.

Jeez. I’ve been away from the Bay Area for about four years now, but I never thought that most A’s fans were like this. Am I off base? It seems like there are just as many of these whackos as there are supposed “ballpark” fans.
When I tell people out here (New York) that I’m a Giants fan, a follow-up question is usually “Do you hate the A’s?” The response is always meh. I think most people assume (and possibly want, judging by this person) a rivalry.

I love the Giants.
P.S. – I would NEVER wear one of those split hats.

I still get excited when I see people out here wearing Giants or A’s gear. I want to go up and say hi. Then I remember it’s Monday at 7:00 a.m. on a crowded train and it’s best to leave the big man alone.

Thank God
Those hats have got to be the fugliest thing I have ever seen.

Ok, don't hate me
but last year I hosted a fund raiser with Vida Blue as the speaker. He is pretty good friends with our organization and he does this often for us.
As a thank you we got him one of those split hats. He freaking LOVED IT. he said it was the most awkward thing when he went to the games when they played each other and he couldn’t wear a hat.
I still treasure my picture with him wearing it.

Well, I won't hate on you
I have fond memories of those hats. Mostly just because my baseball loving grandma had one.

This is what irks me most about partisan fanboy arguments
The selective history.
“My team has been fantasically fucking awesome since (insert year most relevant to your particular argument here). Your team has been shit since (do the year thing again). HAHAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOL”
Forget about the fact that this guy’s franchise was a total laughing stock for DECADES. But hey, that doesn’t matter, right?
And even if he only wants to focus on recent history, so what? One title in 30+ years is not that goddamned removed from no titles in 50+ years.

Whenever I hear a Giants-hating A’s fan talk about their titles I always wonder why I should care about things that happened before I was born.
The only A’s title I care about is 1989, and that’s mostly because they swept the Giants. Meanwhile, the years before and after they got their collective butts handed to them by inferior teams. That just kind of annoys me. Why couldn’t they have beaten the Dodgers and the Reds and lost to the Giants?

According to a book I once read, Merkle’s Boner was when “boner” was first used to mean a screwup. Comes from bonehead.
So, hooray for Giants history making the world a little bit more phallic!

Well, of course I care. I was a history major in college and I teach history now. I definately care about things that happened in the past.
But, I can’t get worked up over how many titles the A’s won in the seventies, compared to the Giants.
I’ve been spending the last few minutes wondering why this is. I think it has more to do with the fact that I just don’t really begrudge other teams’ success. Except the Yankees.

This kind of thing is the clearest evidence of the massive inferiority complex most A’s fans harbor. The hardest thing for them to accept is the indifference… it’s why they are so annoying about it. They want a reaction, and any reaction will do.
Also, the Raider-fication of the A’s fan base has really lowered the standards over there… in the 70’s, as a kid, I remember my few experiences in Oakland as being generally positive, with decent and knowledgeable fans. No longer the case, sadly.

I have Giants season tickets
And I refuse to go to any A’s-Giants games because of how a lot of A’s fans are. They are Raiders type fans.
The only A’s fans that are nice are the older fans who had A’s season tickets for 30 seasons. Those in their 50’s and up. The younger ones are the worse.
