Estrada didn't let up a HR today and look, he was solid. His Kryptonite has been the long ball forever.

San Diego.. Please get a hit.

San Diego.. Please get a hit.

You hate the giants that much? It was cool to see Kershaw do it

While I don't enjoy seeing pitchers hit, I don't agree with DHs doing nothing but bat. I would prefer NL rules to AL if I had to choose.

As fans are always so bitter. We shouldn't talk about IT though guys.

What are A's fans bitter about?

Really baffles me to see how much a large majority of Oakland fans hate the Giants.  I am not a fan of the A's, but always root for them.  Seems like such one sided hate.

Yes I love it.

It is. I never root against the As or the Raiders unless we're playing them. I think they're mad about their crappy stadium, lack of a pennant in the last 2 decades, and irrelevance in comparison to the Giants.

no thread from Venom?

 

[thekidgriffey24]

The As best player ever was Jimmie Foxx...ours was Willie Mays. I'd probably be bitter too.

 

[bronconation24]

Nah no hate at all. I just can't see all the tweets on twitter about it.

Like here's the thing. Giant fans hate Timmy, but they're giving him a standing o everytime he comes near that dugout. I kinda wish he was doing it against a team other than San Diego.

dodger fans loathe angels fans here. As does lakers/Clippers and kings/ducks. Isn't that what fandom is about?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

So those are the reasons A's fans are bitter towards the Giants? If so, please don't include me in that generalization.

Idk about you but a lot of my A's fan friends hate the giants! I don't hate the A's I go to games all the time. I like to see both teams thrive

[Johnny_Cakes]

My hate for the Giants has nothing to do with their performance or supposed celebrated status. I couldn't give a **** less what the Giants do.

What I can't stand is the Giants maneuvering to force the A's out of the Bay Area.

.......True. I can't even hate on that. I would say not since 89 but then I would feel like a Seahawks fan. No win scenario

BTW, Morneau enduring a renaissance. Coors reminding him of Minnesota MVP nostalgia.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Here we go again....

Oakland hates SF, SF doesn't care about Oakland blah blah blah.

I know PLENTY of Niner fans that absolutely hate the Raiders (and I am a Niner fan) and I know Giants fans that hate the A's. Get over it. There are good and bad fans of all teams.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Timmy

 

[bronconation24]

All hate/love aside, throwing 2 no-no's against the same team in 2 years is a hell of an accomplishment
