Who is Ratto talking about?
From the linked article, regarding ideas to boost attendance at A's games:
Then maybe a day for the Crosby Shrieker, a woman who shows up most of the time and calls out "Bobby You're Hot!" unless he makes an out, in which case she changes it to "That's OK, You're Still Hot!" Since Crosby went on the disabled list, she has shifted to a Juliette Binoche-ish "Bobby, Where Are You?" cry, which fluctuates between heart-wrenchingly plaintive and profoundly unsettling. This is devotion that requires a bobblehead, or at least a T-shirt giveaway ("I'm Mildly Disturbed For Bob").
So, is he talking about BobbyCrosbysGirl? An arch enemy? Sorry, the answer may be common knowledge, but I live way out in the boonies (Tokyo) and never get to go to games, so I have no idea who he's talking about.

I might have some audio of this lady… you have to ask Poppy if I can post it, though.

No, she owns the audio file.

I KNEW Poppy sat somewhere near and/or IN my section...

I sit down the row from that girl, who’s maybe 14 or 15 years old. My brother is the guy’s voice you hear saying the same thing. “Bobby, I love you!” and other choice phrases. He also gives love to Ellis and Carlos. His yelling started as a response to hers, but now it’s expected by several other people in our section once the girl starts yelling.

I heard your brother a few weeks ago when Bobby Girl wasn’t there… I was just a few seats away from him, he was cracking me up. “Ellis! Ellis, I love you! Wave to me, Ellis! OH!!! Did you see that, he touched his batting helmet for me! Ellllllliiiiiiiiissssss!!!” LOL
There's no textbook for how to treat a geriatric tapir.
LOL!
You HAVE to get that on video for me.

He's the guy you can hear in the background of the video you have.

You were one of those "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" children, weren't you?

Nope.
I got car sick… they gave me medication and I woke up when we arrived at our destination. :)

Thanks for the input, Jennifer, et al
I had no idea this was going on, but I love the name “Crosby Shrieker.” In line with Ratto’s t-shirt idea, you could create an entire theme out of this: Attack of the Crosby Shrieker , The Crosby Shrieker Strikes Again, Curse of the Crosby Shrieker, etc…
Sorry to be so utterly dumb, but does Poppy mean Blez, or someone else?

Poppy means Poppy, the username.

I just saw this. Jebus, go offline for 24 hours or so, and nothing makes sense any more.
Bobby-Screamer only seems to be there on weekends. She used to annoy the living hell out of me, but now I just think she’s funny. NOT funny, however, is the fact that she boos Donnie Murphy (for having the audacity to sometimes play shortstop while being NotBobbyCrosby)—she even booed him once when he was coming into the game for Ellis (who she seems to be indifferent to). Bobby was still in the game, but Donnie’s mere presence was somehow unacceptable.
Also not funny (and entirely inexplicable from an actual baseball standpoint) is when she boos Chavy because she finds Jack Hannahan hot, too (although not nearly as hot as Bobby).
If you ever hear about Justin Speier getting death threats… those will be from her, because I told her he’s the one who broke Bobby’s hand.

I'll send her the link
so she can see it.

on a related note...
...what the hell is the story with the dude with the horn who plays it in the tune of the standard “clap-—clap——clap, clap, clap” you often hear. I’ve never been to an A’s game in person, but I swear I clearly hear the guy at least a dozen times while watching each home game.
annoying horn boy
last time i heard him, he was in section 126, row 36 blowing away
