Oh right, as long as they hold it down south, I'm all for it. After
all, they have more than enough people to get a good riot going.
Bravo! Great idea.

Who knew you could outsource riots!?!?!?

If the Giants win the World Series then SF would probably make an
exception since they would break "the curse", and that sounds like a
good reason to celebrate.

As for the rioting, I live in Norway, and we have an oil-fund going
with a few gazillion dollars in it "for future generations". I'm sure
we can use some to cover the damage I cause (since I'm probably the
only person in Norway who cares about the Giants enough to feel like
celebrating such a moentus occation). ;) And before anyone thinks I
love to riot or something like that, I'm don't..

Yea play the guy one day, and if he goes o-4 bench him for a day or
two
and then play him again, and see how he does if he gets a hit maybe he
will
play again next tuesday, maybe not. Great chance. Some really proven
good hitters, do not do that well when their AB's are disjointed. The
kid in
right field for the fish that hit a few homers against us and then
against
the pads. He was batting about 210 when he came into the series, and
3 for 19 against lefties, but the fish stayed with him. He is
starting to hit
and now has 9 dingers. Stanton looked overmatched the first few
weeks,
but now he has become a much more difficult out with regular play. A
concept
some do not seem to grasp.

Confetti is OK in SF, as long as it is bio-degradeable. The type
they use in N.Y. just wont cut it.

That's wayne for you! Simply put, he hates Zito and will find any
excuse to call him names. We all know who the real headcase is in the
Giants rotation!

Everyone else is celebrating sweeping the bums while wayne is sitting
in the corner pissed at Zito walking a pitcher and Bowker being traded.
