Non-Sharks Bay Area Sports Thread XXVII

That's a fair amount of walking and time to get to stadium.

Thinking of those who aren't as physically able, as I grow older and have to accommodate my parents. They always request wheelchair at airport.

Why won't they just build on the current Coliseum site? It has to be more practical to build there and clean up the surrounding area than doing that.

It will take over a half an hour to go from Car to seat, even with the Gondola ride. Seems like quite a distance, and I agree with the whole accommodating those who are not able to make said walk.

RIP. We have a beautiful ballpark thanks in a large part to him.

He's a major reason why the Giants are in the position they are in. Saving the team, building the ball park, and I would even say thinks to him in large part for at least the first world series win.

RIP.

Worst super bowl ever.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I hope the NFL is happy with that game. Not a good way to sell your sport to the masses.

Bring on Baseball season.

Who were most NorCal fans rooting for in this game? Can't be LA, but also can't be the Pats

The Saints, the team that should have been there except the NFL is a joke.

I was rooting for the Rams, but honestly by halftime I didn't care. The game was boring.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Rams got spanked.

LA had 2 Cal Bears alumni. Patriots only had 1, and he was on IR. Was pulling for LA.

I guess they aren't moving to Las Vegas just yet.

Pats had 2 bay area natives.

 

[WTFetus]

Pats had 2 bay area natives.

He was only referring to Cal alumni. The Rams had 3 NorCal natives.

boring superbowl for sure, but hey, won a 50 dollar gift card from our realtor who even years later puts his clients in a pool for free. 2nd half numbers I had was 3-3.

Hey works for us!

Just imagine if the Tavares watch went into late September...

It’s weird though, because Harper has no interest from any good teams. It’s the Phillies, White Sox and Giants apparently. Those aren’t good teams. Tavares was courted by the best.

Harper probably makes the Phillies the favorites in the NL East. The AL Central sucks, and the White Sox have a loaded farm system. I don't know why he'd want to sign with the Giants other than money.

The only reasons I can think of are proximity to his home town of Las Vegas and he loves Bochy.

Julian Edelman from Redwood City and Tom Brady from San Mateo all day.
I consider San Mateo my 'hometown' so I'm a low key fan for only that reason haha.


On a different note, doesn't Machado make more sense purely from a hitting standpoint? I mean Harper will lose his power hitting aura, and let's face it, it won't be a good look for anybody.
The team's core isn't thaaaat old, so if they go this route I'll never count them out if they can get into the playoffs. A proper rebuild is starting to look more logical though.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Wrt who I wanted to win the sb, I didn't really care. I just wanted a competitive, good game.

It was certainly competitive. It certainly wasn't good.

Ok then. It's not Mike Potenza, but the equivalent from the NHL Flyers. Title not yet determined, but kinda the director of training.
