Default Congrats to the Gs!

I haven't been that big of a baseball fan until this year's playoff run by the Gs. Today was the second game I watched in over 20 years. Very excited by the game. The Gs have made baseball interesting for me again!

Congrats to the San Francisco Giants! Great win and SWEEP!

I'm happy to hear you say something we can agree with.

That was a good game - in fact the series would have been almost boring if it hadn't ended that way.

You don't even recognize the history with your own Giants so please spare us this bizarre diatribe on NBA history because you clearly don't have your facts straight. Were you even paying attention to the NBA finals in June? Because if you did you would have noticed Wade winning his SECOND championship as a Heat player.

I've never heard of Warriors fans brag about how many titles they ever have and rightfully so and I have A LOT of diehard Warriors friends. I've NEVER heard a fans of a team brag about having one title except San Francisco GIANTS fans.

You don't have to be 40 years old to remember the A's title in 1989 and their three CONSECUTIVE world series appearances from 88-90. I remember that era.

The only reason the Giants don't like the A's bringing up their history is because they don't have any history like that of their own and just have their recent success to cling to. Yet that doesn't stop Giants fans from celebrating their history with players like Mays, McCovey, Bonds, etc.. So it's alright for the Giants to celebrate their history with players but not okay for the A's to do it with their Championships? Nice double standard there.

Also if we are including ALL franchise titles from all cities, which you did with the Warriors, then the A's have NINE, third most in MLB.
i didnt specify warriors titles in sf/oakland did i? lol@ all that unnecessary typing. warriors fans bragging about what happened in 1975 would be as absurd as a's fans bragging about what happened in the early 70s. warriors fans know better though. but you still have 89, right?
i was like 3 years old in 89. im sure you fully appreciated that world series. 23 years ago. i bet it keeps you going when you show up to a's games these days with a sold out crowd of 10,000 cheering on the a's. i bet being eliminated by the tigers this year didnt hurt as much because you thought back on that fateful day 23 years ago and said "hey, i remember canseco!"

because the A's "fans" that showed up in the ALDS were all authentic, die hard fans right? the same ones that showed up in droves that skyrocketed A's attendance to 27th out of 30th in the majors this year, up 3 spots from dead last in 2011.
because there's no bandwagon fans for the a's

i'd ask why you aren't out in the streets celebrating with all of your friends, since your team just won the world series and all

but you make it pretty obvious why nobody would want to hang out with you

LOL
