The Giants

[MendoDave]

So who of you is the least bit stoked that the Giants won the world series? I haven't heard a peep from you peeps that you even watched it.
Having just come from a month long stay in Texas, twistin by the pool, I was quite delighted to see the Texas fans fret and worry about the games, especially after the first two where 40,000 fans shouted down at Texas from Pac Bel Park.

I think that destroyed their confidence a little.

Been watching every game.  We even start it up at work and listen to it.  It's pretty cool stuff, but it's not motorcycles... I dunno...it just didn't occur to me.

if any of the giants were ducati owners ... perhaps i would show an interest.

I've watched the Giants lose 2 world series...I wasn't going to get into it until they won. And now that they won, I realize how empty professional sports "victories" really are. And I actually went to Game 2

Congrats to the Giants!!!!!!!!!  Watched every game. That was awesome and long coming.  Could've been more fun winning at home, but the important thing was to "just win baby."

Ciao!

I bleed blue, I was raised that way. Not that I was rooting for the giants, but I wasn't rooting against them.
When I attend games we usually go with a diverse group and the heckling isn't too bad.
But alas I can no longer say "by the way when was the last time you won the big one" to silence the masses.

is that blue for the yankees?

ny can suck it ... besides, new yorkers are still pissed that the dodgers and giants moved out west 

[jimboecv]

I can't believe they did it.

[mostrobelle]

I second the Yankees sucking it.  I despise the Yankees.  Jeeter can bite me.

No yankage luving here, that blue is for Dodgerness. I find yank blue only a couple shades removed from black.

Oh wow, Yankee haters?  Really?  That's about as novel as a GSXR750.  I understand why you all hate the Yankees; we have more fans and a better front office which leads to having more money to spend on players than any other team.  We have more home attendance and more road attendance than any other team in baseball or any other American sport for that matter.  So while you all hate the Yankees, you all pay to see them when they come to your city to play (and more often than not beat) your worse managed, worse attended, less fan based hometown team.  In case you can't tell, I was born and raised in New York. 

Yes, the Yankees didn't win the World Series this year - as you know and I'm sure are about to point out - they were handily beaten by the Rangers which the Giants handily beat.  They'll be in the playoffs next year just as they've been for 14 of the last 15. 

Having said that, I've lived in the Bay Area for 7 years so hats off to the Giants.  They played well and this win was huge for this town - first Bay Area championship in 15 years.   The fans at AT&T are some of the most electric I've ever seen and this team is exciting to watch. 

And finally, if it weren't for me moving to the Bay Area I would never have started riding let alone buying a Ducati.  S2RMassive out.

Still hate the Yankees.  And Red Sox fans, too.

lived in NYC for 3 years, got to go to Yankee stadium many times, and invariably, no matter who the Yankme's were playing, I would always see at least 2 or 3 idiots in their Red Sox jerseys, drunk off their asses, taunting Yankee fans...


that being said, it was also kinda great to see Manhattan semi-suicidal for a week or so in '04.

2004 was not good.  1923, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009 were way better. 

White with Navy blue pinstripes would look great on your 748 MB.

Everything looks good on the 748.  It's a 748.  Still hate the Yankees.
