All_Star Starting Rockies Outfielder Brad Hawpe hits walk-off winning double prior to All-Star Game


Hey Frisco! Hey Pancho! I'll be at the July 26th game at Coors Field to watch the Rox take the series from the Gnats. If either of you are there, I'll buy you some Bull Fries and Beer.

1. Huh?
The Natinals??

I don't think the two Natinal fans plan on going to Colorado to see what they could see in DC.

:wtf:

2. Frisco Nicknames:
San Francisco Giants

* The Jints (rhymes with "pints", not "mints") - Short version of "Giants"
* The G-Men - Reference to nickname for a government agent.
* Los Gigantes - Spanish for Giants. Used on the team's uniform on Cinco de Mayo of 2007.
* The Orange and Black - Reference to the team's colors.
* The Orange Nation - Same as above.
* The Gnats - Used by detractors, especially Dodgers fans.
* The Bay Bombers - Geographic nickname, alluding to San Francisco, which is situated by the SF Bay.

Also The Gyros

3. Items 1 and 2 are not Frisco nicknames....
They are proudly used by the New York FOOTBALL Giants.

* The Jints (rhymes with "pints", not "mints") - Short version of "Giants"
* The G-Men - Reference to nickname for a government agent.

I don't think the Frisco Kids would allow either of the East Coast nicknames to be used for their team. That whole East Coast Media Bias, remember!

6. Umm, no FReeper. That's not what I said.
I said records don't always tell the whole story.

Key word: "always."

Nice misquote.

In the case of the 1927 Yankees, records do.

11. No I do not. Records do not often necessarily "tell the story."
It's a case by case evaluation of all of the facts.

The Dodgers are overrated.

15. The Dodgers record is deceptive and the 27 Yankees Murderers' Row-led
Edited on Sun Jul-12-09 10:07 PM by cboy4
record and distinction as arguably the greatest team ever is valid.

Simple.
