Gawd, I love those Giants...

“Gawd, I love those Giants...

Phil Simms rocks! Who? Oh yeah, Dave...no, Kerry Collins, he rocks!

So...Mtn Mo, why don't you come on the Maine trip next weekend?

:-)”

“Phil Sims won a super bowl, Kerry Collins took the Giants to a super bowl and McNab took the Beagles to ……., well, he got himself a big contract anyway. GO BEAGLES!”

“Yessssss! They are DESTROYING Atlanta....




...oh damn, sorry, wrong Giants...”

“They might be giants,
they might be giants,
they might be rain,
they might be heat,
they might be frying up stalks of wheeeeeeeeeeat........”

“I like Beagles.”

“Fritz, on another thread, I was referring to the SF Giants!
You He-Men missed out on a great BBQ...

Drinks. my famous Long Island Ice Tea, Cold beer on Ice, Jack Daniel Lemon Ade

Snacks...Chips/salsa/home made guacamole. shrimp coctail

Dinner...Rib Eye, New York and Tri-tip, chili beans, green salad, grilled chicken, and of course rice (I'm Hawaiian/Filipino)”

“That sounds great, Mtn Mo but we sorta kinda haveta like the NYNJ Giants, at least in my house we do!”

“Um...OK....

Gawd, I love Livan Hernandez and Barry Bonds! Braves are going DOWN tonight!!!!

So, Mtn Mo, you coming to Sierrapalooza 2003? :-)”

“Twins and Atlanta
History all over again.”

“Fritz, I'm kicking it around...I believe its not too far from me... I'm in the Modesto area. I'll have to read back on the posts to find out more about it and see if I can take the time off work. Isn't there an Eastern Sierra trip coming up soon?”

“Let's see. Last time the Giants were in the NLCS (and the World Series) was '89, and we all know what happened then. Better make sure the earthquake insurance is paid up....”

“I guess Mrs. Cox is sporting a black eye today.

Wonder what they do with the rubber tomahawks over the winter ...

Go Grunts, beat the Cruds! I hate the Cruds, Scott Rolen, and J.D, Drew. And I'm not fond of Tony LaRussa either.”

“Geo, you have a lot of anger....maybe you should get counselling for that. :-)”

“Mo, yes there's a Sierra trip the last weekend of October. I mentioned the one next summer because I will be there, July 5-10 or something like that. Thread is "Sierrapaloosa 2003" I think.”

“Jilted lovers and jilted baseball fans both carry anger. It does not require counseling per se. A sense of satisfaction over the misfortunes of the jiltor usually helps the jiltee overcome the anger without all the fal-de-rah of counseling.

Go Grunts!”

“And if that doesn't work, Go Twinks or Anvils!”

“OK Giants, here we go! Let's do it for Willie, Willie, Juan, the Family Alou, and all of the greats throughout the years.
That stab about the EARTHQUAKE was a low blow.”

“SF Giants ROCK!”

“Scott Rolen wants back in the line-up, but Miguel Cairo has been playing fantastically. So what does Tony LaRussa do?

I'd say, "Scotty, let's make damn sure it's healed completely. No sense risking further injury the way Miguel is hitting."

But since I'm not Tony and since I HATE the Cruds, I say, put him in there and see if he can't mess things up a bit. Maybe he'llm mess his shoulder up good. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, the creep!

Good to see our man Bennie Santiago doing well. He put in a solid year with the Phillies, and I've always liked him for his hustle and his personality.

How about Tony mouthing off at Dusty. That would have been a good match. I noticed Tony pretty much kept his hands in his pockets most of the time. On the other hand, emptying the benches because the opposing pitcher threw close to the head is getting ridiculous. In the old days you picked yourself up, dusted yourself off, dug in, and made the other guy pay by getting a hit and maybe stealing a base to really rub it in. Or hitting another homer.”

“My boss will be dancing the halls today! Yesterday I cleared his calendar for Monday, and now he's going to the bay area for 3 days. He flies to SF (during baseball season) almost as much as I drive to the Sierras!”

“although i now follow the indians and reds given my geographic location, my sentiments are with the G I A N T S ! ! ! to go all the way this year....it's their turn to swig the good champagne!!

i have so many fond memories of candlestick park from my california years....

has anyone else on this thread received the honorary medal "crois de candlestick"

does anyone else remember what it was for??

i used to wear long underwear and carry gloves and a down coat for night games up there....we'd be leaving san jose on an august afternoon and my friends would look at me like i was the craziest mofo on the entire planet....until about the fourth inning when that bad old ice cold fog would come rolling in over the top of the stadium and i would pull out those gloves while they were all huddled up trying to warm their hands with a cup of coffee.... oh yeah!! those were the days!!!”

“Sadist”

“I think it would really be cool if the Giants and the Angels ended up playing each other in THE Series!”

“2-0 Baybee!!!
Gotta love those Giants.
Gonzo, when I had season tickets from 87-89, they no longer gave out the croix de Candlestick. However, those foggy evenings were like no other. I took both of my daughters to the games when they were young and they are still big fans. Our fantasy is to get some really good seats at Pac Bell.
2-0 Baybeeee!!!!!”

“my daughter was about three when she learned to yell "out of the park, will clark!!"”

“Awww, I feels so sawry faw pawr widdle JD Droop and Scott Rollover. Awwwwwwwwww. Ain't dat a shame? Pawr widdle babies. Dem has to go to da sorts store.”

“The croix de Candlestick pin was awarded to those staying until the end of an extra inning night game at the 'Stick. No, I didn't leave early, just that none of the night games I went to ever went to extra innings.

Gotta love the post title "Hummm Baby!" above after the 9th inning squeeze last night - an old Roger Craig move if I ever saw one.

My claim to fame: sang the National Anthem at the first Giants home game after they clinched the division on the road in '87 - that place was rockin'!!!”

“I know things aren't lookin' good, but I have to keep the faith. Although the giants are Rolen, if they can keep that up they have a good chance in the World Series.”

“Da pawr widdle wed boidies, dem fall down and go boom and hurt dem widdle beakses! Pawr widdle boidies.”

“Benny Santiago comes through in the clutch. Benny's the former Phil worth rooting for!

Da pawr widdle boidies fall down and hurt dem widdle beakses again.”

“Yee-haw!!! Bring on the Angels!!!”

“Did I make the call or what back on 10/10/02?!!!
Angels here we come!”

“So the Saint Loser Cruds with JD Droop and Scott Groanin go back home with their tails between their legs while Benny and the Gi'nts celebrate.
Yesss, there is a god!
Who-da thunk it, former Phil Ben”

“So the Saint Loser Cruds with JD Droop and Scott Groanin go back home with their tails between their legs while Benny and the Gi'nts celebrate.
Yesss, there is a god!
Who-da thunk it, former Phil Bennie is MVP while former Phil Scott is a loser!
Thank ya Swate Jaysus!”

“First one got away unfinished!!”

“It should be an exciting series. Looking forward to it! Never been a Giant fan, but I have been a Giant "player" fan (e.g., Mays (the greatest "all around" player ever IMHO), McCovey, Cepeda, Alou Bros., etc.).”
