Padres to blame for letting Giants into Post Season

"Burn the douche bag!  Throw him into the fire!"

I didn't end up watching any of the MLB Postseason.  People tell me the Giants won the World Series.  I find that very hard to believe.  I watched every game they played against the Padres.  I saw what the Padres did to them game after game.  It was brutal, filthy and a little bit sexual.  They should not have sold tickets to children under the age of 17.  That was not a good team.  I can only assume, they must have really been something when playing against other teams, but who knows?

With that said, I blame the Padres for letting this happen.  They were not vigilant and didn't protect their NL West lead. They did not play good baseball down the stretch.  As a result they let everyone in the world down.  I just wonder if they realize what they've done or if they are too busy enjoying their post season vacations.  I hope they couldn't sleep last night.

The thing I keep thinking about is Bruce Bochy.  Am I supposed to be happy for him and Flannery?  He's a nice guy and all and I wish him well, but I never wanted him to win in San Francisco.  The reason was simple: From this day forward, he'll no longer be "The Former Padres Manager".  I always thought of his time in the Bay Area as a last stop before retirement, not a place where he would gain his greatest achievement.  His participation in two San Diego World Series are now overshadowed by his San Francisco World Championship.  Forevermore he'll be known as a Giant.  It's kind of sad.  At least we can still claim Willie McCovey as our own.

It's not all bad news though.  If the pictures coming out of San Francisco are any indication the city will probably be burned to the ground again and take most of the world's douche bags with it.  All that hair product and denim must be flammable.

They are to blame

And unfortunately so far all the Pads have done about it is take Adrian’s option. Garland and Yorvit are already out the door declining their options.

And yes, they’ve been acting just like I expected them all to act attempting to burn their town down.

Little story

A couple people I know, all charger fans, asked me why am i not going for the Giants for the world series.

“That’s like saying I’m a Charger fan rooting for the Raiders IN THE SUPER BOWL”

“Oh. That makes sense”

What idiots.

Next season can’t come any faster.

What do Dodger fans think?

They are fuming here in LA. Just grinding their teeth and spewing trash.

Enjoying only that aspect but wonder what could of been?

I'm sure they are

Pads and Dodgers fans do have one thing in common (as do A’s fans). The Giants being bad their whole existence in SF was a source of happiness particularly since since the Pa (and easy fodder for poking at the Giants and their supporters). We’ve all lost that now.

Thanks Padres:

Well, definitely you all prepared the Giants for this run. Without the season long, and especially the last 6 weeks stretch, division pennant race the Giants would not have been prepared to do battle with Atlanta, Philadelphia, and the Rangers. Hell, the Giants have been playing playoff baseball for 2 months now. They were case-hardened, tough as nails, totally peaking at he right time. Compared to the Padres the playoff teams the Gaints faced were cupcakes. Thanks. If you all had won the West, it may have been the same run through the World Series for you all. With the great pitching for the Pads and the Giants, and the Rockies overall strength and humidor, the next few years could be the decade of the NL West.

No kidding

The Giants were what 6-12 v the Padres this year. The biggest challenge they ended up facing was the 3 game series to close out the year (a series coincidentally they lost). Almost wish Bud’s new playoff format was already in place. It would have been a 3 game series pitting SF v SD to get into the current ALDS and the Pads had a good shot at taking it.

by athletics68 on Nov 2, 2010 3:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes the Pads are culpable

…but, even if San Diego had won the division and even gone on to win the Series, they’d be even more criticized as “boring” than the Giants, who at least have a two-time CY winner and a weird, Judah Friedlander wannabe as closer. Be that as it may, I’d still rather be “boring” and (finally) a fan of a World Series winner.

I don't know, everywhere I looked,

the media was lapping up all the cutesy “misfits” “torture” “lovable goofball” Giants bullcrap.
Seemed like everywhere I looked, there was some mention on the broadcast of Wilson’s dyed beard, the stupid panda hats, Huff’s thong, Uribe’s jazz hands, bla bla bla…

Story time.

There’s this guy in my Econ class. First day he walks in, and I think, “Oh my goodness that is a good looking boy.”
The next day he comes in wearing a Giants shirt. Instant turn off. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago. He’s wearing some sort of giants gear again. Class gets out and I’m walking back to my apartment. I’m about to cross the street when I hear, “Get out of the way, Bitch!” It’s the giants fan. On his bike. And he almost ran me over. I had looked both ways before crossing the street, but asshole here came out of nowhere.
That brings us to today. He walks in late, in typical rude giants fan fashion, wearing a giants hat, and a shirt that says “Bustered!” I wanted to vomit and then make some snarky comment.
Moral of the story: I dislike rude giants fans and most of them should be pushed in the mud. And I’m annoyed they won it all.

They're everywhere now at SDSU

But now it’s girls. Even girls that I’ve seen in classes that I thought were cute are now Giants fans. San Francisco has ruined parts of San Diego. Just more reason for hatred of the Giants.

It was torture walking on campus today.

So much BRAND NEW Giants gear everywhere I looked.

Luckily no one has said anything specifically to me yet, but it’s bound to happen. It happened all through playoffs. My plan is to just ask them what moves they think the Giants will make in the offseason. I figure most of the FOB (fresh off the bandwagon) fans won’t know what to say and it’ll shut them up.

I'm saving it for when the Padres kill the Giants next season.

I assume he’s a business student (or at least an econ major) so I assume I have a good chance of having another class with him at some point. Yay small campus!

I hope we can all unite around one thing until Spring Training begins..

I hope to continue to check in with you all during what should be a successful Padres offseason. I may love my Dodgers, but The Gaslampball is the sweetest baseball blog I have ever tasted.

We share a common hatred of the Giants. That makes you cool in my book, as long as we’re talking about how much we hate SF.

My dad and I usually don't do that until January or later.

We usually try to pick a weekend where we can drive out on a Saturday, catch a Saturday night game and then a Sunday day game and then drive home. It’s a long weekend but baseball packed. One year we did two Saturday games and 1 Sunday. We always sit as close to the Padres dugout. Can get sweet seats for cheap in Peoria.

Last year we stayed right next to the Cracker Barrel, in I think a Holiday Inn but we didn’t book until late and we had no problem finding a room or tickets. The Dodger/Padre game I went to last year was the highest attendance in Cactus League history and I don’t think it was sold out. Or at least I saw plenty of open seats.

Fun to go to the different parks if you can too. They are all pretty close, though SF’s park is kind of drive (we also got kinda lost).

He didn't need to

All the bandwagon Giants fans that have spread out throughout the nation just congregate and block intersections. They’re like a swarm of gnats that you can’t avoid. We’d all be better if they would take Zach de la Rocha’s advice and “sleep now in the fire”. So….

SHOO! SHOO!

I haven't watched a full game

since October 3rd (Oh hey, month ago today! And now I’m sad…). But I got caught up in homework and got frustrated at the Twins for failing at baseball life so I have good excuses.

And I know where you're not

At least you’re not a Giant parasite wandering around SDSU. Have you passed your high school classes yet or are you “winning win it counts”?

And if your “team” isn’t choking on their own balls, does that mean they’ve passed the gagging part through experience? Enlighten me, genius.

I wanted to try and have a different HIMYM quote every few days, but I might just stick with that one for awhile. Now that baseball is over, I’m glad it’s on any one of three channels between 6 and 8pm every night (plus the DVDs). It’s the only reason I’d ever watch the Lifetime channel….I swear.

That could easily describe my post-baseball season life.

One of my favorite quotes EVER is when Robin is on the phone as Barney’s “emergency call” and she’s trying to mess with him and says, “Break me off a piece of that white chocolate.” I use that quote on a regular basis.

Interesting choice

If I had to pick a favorite, which is near impossible, I might have to lean towards when Marshall goes on his diatribe about his hatred for New York and yells “I’m like some huge monster that came out of the oceans to destroy bodegas!” I have used that one on occasion whenever I bump into anything or anyone.

I'll bet

A quote like that is usually attached to a “You had to be there” story/stories. (I don’t judge). Or you just like chocolate devoid of color. Whatever it may be….it’s your personal preference. You just have to wait and see if it ends up on the Murtaugh list.

funny enough,

I had just gotten out of the bar after watching the Giants beat the Rangers when I decided to walk up to Mission and take a look at what would befall the city. I walked all the way from 17th street down to 24th on Mission Blvd, and to be completely honest, its not as bad as the pictures suggest. There were pockets of lame Marina guys hanging out, the hipsters were just gesticulating, the Thugs were out in full force, the old timers were barking, the weird guys with no scene felt the need to dance about the streets. I thought it was actually pretty funny.
