Giant Jeers

PrintI will be fortunate enough to sit quite close to homeplate at Sunday's game against the Giants, and I was thinking what a shame it would be if I let the opportunity go by without taking full advantage of it by shouting some good jeers at the Giants. So I was thinking what better place to get help with the writing than from the always hilarious members of AN.
So, if there is anything you want me to say to your least-favorite Seal, post them below!

1954?!? Were your PARENTS even BORN then???!!?
The other night when they’d get belligerent all I hadda do was point up to the tarp and say “You see those 4 digit numbers up there? Those are called championships… I thought I’d point them out because you might be a tad unfamiliar with the concept.”

a GREAT response to the “Let’s Go Gi-ants!” chant was “No World Ti-tles!!!”
That shut ’em up real nicely.

Excellent.
And as far as I’m concerned, they don’t get to claim ‘54. That wasn’t the San Francisco Giants. The San Francisco Giants have never won a world championship. Ever. Never. That fact must be pointed out repeatedly.
We don’t have flags flying signifying the Philly titles — because they’re not ours … the Giants don’t get to claim anything won in NY. Nope.
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.
I disagree.
I think the A’s should embrace the Philadelphia A’s heritage.

I agree
We are the 3rd most successful franchise of all time if you count Phily. We were tied with STIL for 2nd until their last championship.

Yep. Same here.
We should embrace the Philly history. Even KC… if we can find anything to embrace. It’s a rich and proud history, and the team is still the team regardless where they played in the past.

Nooooooo!
Oakland A’s history is Oakland A’s history. We’re not in Philly anymore. That was a different franchise … once you move, everything starts over.
(Actually, all that would be fine, I just won’t let go of my favorite criticism of SF … “hell, even the Chicago Cubs have won a world championship.”)

wasnt a different franchise...

Yeah... plus it gives us a 3-1 all time world series lead over the Gaints.

Wait .... what?
Your math is way off … if we’re talking Oakland/SF, then it’s 4-0.
If it’s Philly/KC/Oak vs. NY/SF, I’m not sure what the record would be, but I know it ain’t 3-1.

Got it.
But see, I’m not ok with that, either. The thought of them ever beating us in the WS repulses me. Nope. We’re 1-0, thank you.

I was poking fun at my Giants friend and he said retort was "Did someone say Cy Young?"
And I said I don’t know. Is it the same person that said Perfect Game?

something for uribe
yesterday at the game when uribe batted, the giants fans did this “U” – “Ribe” chant. it would be great to have something witty to say to drown out the “ribe” part. i’m not sure what would work though. needs to be 2 syllables that sound good after “U”. “eat it”? i dunno. there’s gotta be something better.

U.... Suck
Too obvious?

Giants fans dissapoint me...
I’ve been to a few Giants-Dodgers games in SF and LA and each time I go, I’m amazed at how quiet, subdued, and lacking in any sort of rivalry mischeviousness that giants fans show. I recall one game we sat in CF (at AT&T), Milton Bradley was playing CF, and during the first inning he gave the entire crowd the middle finger behind his back. The Giants fans had no response. Soon some dodger fans appeared in the section and started taunting Giants fans…no response. My wife and I kept thinking, ‘no one is gonna do this at an A’s game’.
I do like the Giants, I like their club, their ballpark, but I just can’t wrap my head around their disinterested fans.
It's so true.
I’ve been to A’s – Giants games at the phonebooth, and given them tons of crap that i wouldnt be able to get away with in probably any other stadium in baseball…

I posted the empty trophy case pic
And my friends’ comeback was that our last Championships in our lifetime was held together by the Bash Brothers. However I don’t see how they can use that excuse when it was Barry Bonds that was the ‘roid posterchild. As far as I’m concerned neither teams fans are allowed to even bring that topic up, let alone as counter-argument. His other argument is the stadium but I’ll take World Series titles over a coke slide any day. And is it just me or is their seating just *slightly awkward.

More than slightly awkward
It’s crap.
Ask me about my squirrel.
My Giants fan friend spent a good amount of time
talking about how things are better at AT&T Park, and how her baseball stadium is SO much cooler than Oakland’s.
Then I pointed to the four World Champion flags. I asked, “Do they have those at AT&T Park?”

shuts them up real good. Also if they go on about the park… would you rather see a terrible game in a nice park or an excellent game in another park? Easy choice to me as I’m a baseball fan, not an architect.
Funny thing I’ve noticed is most the Giant fan put downs toward the A’s come from the same tact as those of Yankee boosters. In other words: marginalization because your team has less fans / is smaller / can’t afford this player or that, etc. Little to do with the on field talent (apart from lack of star power) but plenty to do with te skewed finances that keep their team more successful (financially or in the standings).
They're pressing.
What else can they possibly use as ammunition? It’s all they’ve got.
I'm walking out in a force ten gale.
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail.
This... all.
They do have a better park… now. Not previously. So what? As nice as their park is, nice parks are to attrach non-fans, and are secondary to real baseball fans. Who the hell cares what a non-fan thinks? Just give the team your money and go home with your new hat and team Beanie Baby.

Exactly
If I ever want to visit a ballpark where fans are more into the daily paper than the game the choice is obvious. Maybe that’s why I don’t seem bothered by either the Coliseum or Metrodome – everybody is there for the game.
I honestly didn't think the Metrodome was all that bad.
I mean, it’s not great, and would never be on my Top 10 list of stadiums, but I never felt like I was in a rat hole, either.

Oh, I forgot to add...
…I said good (read" not bad) things about the Metrodome to a Twins fan once. He asked me to name a single worse stadium anywhere. Without missing a beat, I replied, “One word: Candlestick.”.

One of my not-so-close friend actually told me this:
It’s completely depressing when I walk into the stadium and the scoreboard is partially broken [and] 60% of the fans arent A’s fans.

late to the party, but...
I used to razz Barry Bonds. I go to at least one Giants/Pirates game a year. So when BB used to be out in Left, I would make a point of heading out to the bleachers, and walk down to the rail when he was warming up, and yell this sequence
“Sid Bream?” in a quizzical voice
“Sid Bream?!?” in a much louder, slightly outraged voice, then finally
“Sid Bream!” in a loud, absolutely disgusted voice
The best part of it was that no one ever had any idea about to what I was referring, nor did they understand I was razzing BB (who HAD to hear it), so I received no abuse (though I’m sure anyone near me thought I was insane). I probably did that to him ten to fifteen times in his career. And that m#$%^&%^&r deserved it.
