Reporting from the game
Go Giants

good view

Damn, that's a great place to enjoy the game.

And no seagulls!

In 2010 I got tickets a few seats up from your location for 6 bucks.

I used to get Pirates tickets for $1 in the mid 2000's when they'd run a "See the Bucs for a buc" promotion. Dark times.

Jesus that's bad.

aka the "please buy a hot dog while you're here" special

Given how bad the team is I wouldn't doubt you could do the same today

The years after the "rally monkey" embarrassment were really dark.

I think I've selectively blocked out most of that time

>rally monkey
Even after 3 titles and 15 years later it still hurts

Remember when fans would organize walkouts? You'd catch the beginning of it but then the broadcast would cut away because of how embarrassing it was to the organization. Then when it came back, 20% of the fans would be gone.

You can disagree with Bonds' use of steroids but there's no need for name-calling.

He's not wrong
03 had the team getting BTFOd by the marlels
Then 04-07 was the team riding out the Barry homerun gravy train while the team sucked
Then 08-09 was the rebuilding
Then in 10 the team somehow memed their way to a title and the rest is history

Oh, I don't disagree, I just thought it was a bit harsh calling Bonds "The Rally Monkey Embarrassment."

( More seriously, this AB of Bonds against Gagne is spectacular: youtube.com/watch?v=EPIr1D2RG7c )

Are you meming or did you not watch the 2002 WS

bad joke

bad bad joke detection
