Fan Clinic on KNBR 680

Filed under: Fans — Jakey @ 11:05 pm

Here we are Giants fans. The worst season in recent history. The magic number is down to 19. It won’t be long until mathematic obsolescence is made sure. However, The Giants have been doing well as of late. winning 6 out of their last 10 games. It’s not a bad way to be. We lead our division this week. The team is actually doing well. Not dominating, not making any kind of run on the wild card, but playing competent ball.

On the other hand, the San Francisco fan base has finally hit rock bottom. Who ever you are out there, demanding that we sit down, it is time you learned proper etiquette. This is not a ballroom, not a social club, not the diner table. This is a sporting venue, where people root cheer and applaud feats of athletic prowess. Jeering and heckling the opponent is expected. Standing and whooting for at base hit is demanded. If you haven’t noticed yet, every single seat with the exception of the bleachers is fitted with a cup holder. This is so you can put your damned cup of white whine down long enough to jump up and down in offensive approval of a Giants run scored. In the bleachers, you are expected to spill.

Damon Bruce, our outspoken leader in after game lamentation called every “fan” out tonight.

The Giants need a line up that can hit & a fanbase that can cheer.

While Damon may not be a born Giants fan, he knows a little bit about baseball. He’s covered venues nationwide. And tonight at 7pm, he is dedicating his show to the miserable Giant fan.

We should all be very ashamed.

Turned On

Filed under: Fans — Jakey @ 12:02 am

Everything is finally running smoothly. The veterans are on. The Youngsters are on. Feliz’s D is on. Duhram is on. Everything is hitting just the way we need it to. And only a month too late. But at least the last month will be fun to watch, and if anything be a great preview for next year.

I’ve been wondering. As much as I love Visquel, and have deeply considered having his likeness tattooed on my left peck over my heart. As much as I love him, what happens if by some miracle Alex Rodriguez finds his way onto the Giants roster next year. There is an outside possibility.

Alex and Barry get along, even train together. They call each other. Hell, Alex might just get adopted into the family. Let’s just think about it. Barry stays one more year and he gets his 10-15 mil to bat 3rd on the contingency that Alex shows up to bat in he 4th slot.

While this is a complete fantasy at this point, stranger things have happened. Like signing a pitcher to a 7 year $126 million contract. I’m glad Zito is on now too.
