Why? This is Embarrassing

Senseless. I didn’t see one Sox fan going out of their way to “rub it in” or get in anyone’s business. They cheered when their team did good, just like we do in other stadiums.

All that I talked to and congratulated were gracious and thanked me and said they were looking forward to a rematch next year and that they felt we had a very strong team with a continued bright future.

Thugs are gonna be everywhere and I’m thankful this guy has the sense to know these few don’t represent the entire LA fan base.

GO DODGERS!!!

Wore away jersey to Milwaukee playoff game - most were pretty cool - had a couple of obnoxious jeers, but nothing I couldn’t handle.

Of course I ALWAYS wear the blue to games here in Cincy as there’s usually more of us than Reds fans, especially with as bad as they have been the last decade or so.

Never had any problems here but then again, not too many people are going to mess with me at 6’ 3” and a solid 265. 😆

No doubt. There was one so low he actually tried to pass off one of the guys who ran away as a relative. He said this relative had been injured in the attack. Maybe when he was running away & turning a 4 to 2 Giants fan advantage into a 2 to 1 massacre by Norwood & Sanchez. The entire next day this alleged victimized relative was in the hospital, his grandfather (whatever he claimed to be) was on that MLB board calling us all out for being the thugs we are. I told him go be with your grandson (whatever). Don't waste your time with bloggers on the internet, who had nothing to do with it. Be with him. He flat out refused. Ray joined in & we both exposed him for the fraud he was / is. He was capitalizing on someone's misfortune. That takes a pretty sick mind.  

Another one would more subtly remind us what barbarians we were. But he kept spelling the victim's name wrong. Maybe it was the shock. Bryan Stowe, Brian Stow. Never Bryan Stow. So emotional carpetbagging vulture #2. 

Lord knows the Bay Area has more than had it's share of violence at sporting events. It still stuns me to hear people are willing to go this far just to be assholes. These aren't fans. They aren't representative of any sector of the Dodger fan base. It's about colors to them & someone wearing the 'wrong' colors on their turf. Anaheim fans for the longest considered themselves above dirty Los Angeles. Good luck with that. I was at a freeway series with a friend of mine who jumped ship to the Halos when the Dodgers broke up that old infield. I went to the 1983 ALCS with him. I grew up on the Angels too. They grabbed a 2-0 lead in that series. My friend was giddy. I told him to wait. You'll see. They lost the next three. But one guy at a concession stand said, with his running mate alongside, that I was wearing the wrong colors. I smiled & told him these are ALWAYS the right colors. He just nodded his head, like - 'right answer.' Many times situations can be defused by not showing fear or disrespect. We shouldn't be obligated to do that to avoid being stabbed though. I hope they catch these schmucks & lock them up with the first two. Put them in the idiot wing.

I hope Dave finally got over that. He was on our board when he should have been with his 'grandson.'

Wow. I was really lit last night. Hehe. A little background for those who weren't paying that close attention to either the Stow incident or Giants' fans reactions on our old board.

There was a video on youtube that I believe the Stow family had taken down. It showed a father with his family. He was vociferously telling Stow to tone it down. There are children present. Stow had been on a drunken rampage. Lot of profanities. Stow had a record for cocaine, alcohol & domestic abuse. His friends shouldn't have let him drink. That's not to excuse Norwood & Sanchez. What they did was deplorable. They're in jail for it. At the time, Stow acted innocent in front of the father. As soon as the guy left he started back up again. Do you think in retrospect Bryan wished he had listened to that concerned father?

How do four guys walking to their car get jumped by two guys? OF COURSE some ran away.

Immediately the trolls appeared on our board. Dave was chief among them. All day & into the next several he lambasted us for the savages we are. I honestly told him to go be with your relative. What are you doing here? Most of us were on the message board at the time this happened. Dave told Ray he could get his grandson's name from the police report. Ray pointed out the police weren't releasing details yet. Oops!

By now I'm getting impatient with these guys. I told Dave his grandson had to be one of the 'friends' of Stow who ran away. Dave threatened to beat me up. I later found out he was in his 70's. What 70 year old does that? Grow up. He then offered to bet me something like $5,000 that it was his grandson. I'm not betting on the internet. He said he would meet me at a Wells Fargo in Riverside. Why would I drive all the way out to Riverside? This is YOUR deal not mine. But if you really want to meet me so badly we could hook up at the Wells Fargo on Market St. in Inglewood. He refused. That told me in no uncertain terms that kid wasn't his grandson. He was inviting me on a wild goose chase or ambush. Maybe he coaxes me into a smaller bet. It would have been easy money for him if that truly was his grandson. The ONLY motivation left then is to make a fool out of me for driving 130 miles roundtrip, or get beat up myself by some younger guys Dave sent. You really don't think much of me, do you?

Later he tried to guilt trip me by saying his grandson had an allergic reaction to some peanuts mistakenly put in his salad. He's dead. How do you feel about that?

"Wow! A Giants fan dies choking on a nut. Who could have predicted that?" I felt bad for the kid who died. I still strongly suspect he wasn't Dave's grandson though. I'm not homophobic either. But if they want to stereotype at as gangbanging goons, then okay. You must be gay. That's the San Fran stereotype. How do you like it?

Dave appeared on our visitors list for years after that. He bragged on the Giants board about getting posts & threads taken down. One Giants poster told these guys he wished they would knock it off. It's inviting retribution. Thank you.

I'm sure Dave is gone now. RIP, Dave. I hope you finally found the peace you were looking for.

So then it was okay to make your house curb appeal less aesthetically pleasing but not his? Interesting theory he has going there.

I have some neighbors over here I jokingly refer to as the Addams Family of our block. For about 20 years an elderly couple lived there. But first she passed away & then him. The duplex was sold & a peculiar group moved in. The first day I caught two of them prowling my property. They said someone had stolen their trash cans. Well, mine had the address painted on & are pretty beat up. Your cans aren't here.

After that they had some old man who sounds like the cat lady from the Simpsons. Just yelling & incoherent. It's nice of them to take care of their relative like that. Nope. He wasn't their relative. They must be caregivers. No idea how much they're paid to do this stuff. It might have helped them buy that house. The loons stay in one unit. The somewhat 'norms' stay in the other.

They finally got tired of that old guy themselves. Now we have a new screamer. Envy me?
