When I used to watch Dodger-Giants games with my Giants friends/fans, I loved to bust their balls about what a dump Candlestick was, about Barry Bond's swollen head, and about the Giants not winning a World Series after they moved to SF. But, the Giants moved into one of the nicer new baseball stadiums, Manny got busted for steroids, and now the Giants actually won a World Series without the earth swallowing up the stadium first.

Yes, UCLA and USC don't really care about Cal and Stanford. And, I would argue that SC fans don't want to see an increasingly irrelevant ND lose out their games, if only to boost up SC's strength of schedule. But, LA Dodgers-SF Giants, for me, is just different. If the Dodgers couldn't win the pennant, then I wanted to see the Dodgers play spoiler and deny the Giants the pennant. As fans, we're usually more wrapped up in these rivalries than the players, But, Jackie Robinson chose retirement rather than play for the Giants.

*edit forgot to call you a complete idiot. WTF does karma have anything to do with it? Pu-leez, your sympathy is not needed for the 13 time all star, 7 time MVP and STRONGEST offensive player of all time. everytime the Giants are mentioned, at least one stick will come out to make a barry bash.

Just got back from the parade. Took my boy, climbed on top of a building and got a decent view of the players. Place was a zoo. Lots of hot young girls without much on. Always nice to see. Go Giants.

Jealous too, although I listened to it on KNBR so not all was lost.
