Go Giants!

Just the thought of Perry scrambling for the exit with his fingers in his ears is just cracking me up.... (sorry)

LOL, that is funny.

He might even be muttering, LA LA LA I don't wanna hear it, LA LA LA ...

This thread is fun. Yeah, the Giants-Dodgers rivalry goes way back to their New York origins ... when they were the NY Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers. We San Francisco-born grew up hating the Dodgers ... doesn't help when the Giants have won zero world series championships since relocating out West (in 1958, I think), while the Dodgers have…what...4? W/S championship rings in the same time frame.

I do know before that SP mentioned being a Giants fan since '02 (probably about the time Barry Bonds became a Giant). And him living in SoCal would expect that he would take in all the Giant-Dodger games. Seeing Steve in those spring training pics mingling with Dodger players was hard to take, however. I thought he had maybe changed allegiance. Let's face it, the Giants have not exactly been competitive for the last 3 or 4 years. It's a free world, people can root for whomever they want. Nice to know he still loves the Giants, though …hehe.

Haha… Deano summed up the NoCal-SoCal provincial dynamics perfectly. Yes, I do remember the brouhaha over the South wanting to steal the North's water. They were the dry (desert) South, and we were the moist (beautiful) Bay Area ... lol. When I was a kid, I remember hearing/reading some talk (nobody took it seriously) about a civil dissolution to divide into 2 states -- kind of like N. & S. Dakota... and the Carolinas. Since I’ve moved away for a number of years, maybe people look at it differently now, but when I think about the 2 California halves …the culture…live style…weather...at least the 2 metro areas (SF Bay Area and all of LA) couldn’t be any more divergent.

Getting back to baseball … I just watched the Giants clobbered the Colorado Rockies 2 straight games (final game of the series tomorrow), and they are right back in the thick of the wildcard race. As Cyndy posted: GO GIANTS!!!

(Giants play at Dodger Stadium this weekend. I’ll be squinting for SP in his Giants cap on the telecast)

I lived in So Cal for 31 years.... I never got, other than baseball, a feeling of rivalry between the North and the South. I've plenty of SF friends and family. The whole rivalry thing I was pretty sure was limited to sports. And then again, I was never that into sports, so it's kinda a non-issue in the real world.

No... Fricso Melt!! It's a Steak n' Shake thang. Om nom nom.
But they don't have those west of Missouri so a lot of you are missing out.

Those rock. Hardees has them also but they don't have the thousand island sauce on them that Steak n' Shake does. They are also good if you hit the right Hardees.

It's "Frisco" sauce. I think it might be similar to 1000 Island but it's not the same... it's way orangier. (it's a word!) I don't want to even know what gives it that color though, or I'll probably never want to eat it again.

Out West, it's called Carl's Jr. I was recently in St. Louis and stopped in at a Hardees. They had sauces in the bin with the Carl's Jr. name on them. Too Funny. Same logo is used too.

[Tomulator]

According to the article, it didn't hit print until Tuesday, the 15th. So I would imagine there was no harm done. Or am I wrong on that one. Maybe it CAME from Twitter? I don't know, that whole twitter thing is just beyond confusing, not to mention scary.

The games they are saying SP will be at are this coming weekend in LA.

OMG........paleeze!
Well, if he were going to be there, now he'll have the equivalent of the secret service at his side, I'm sure. That's just wrong on every level. I knew the Giants played the Dodgers in S.F. this past weekend, I thought that's what they were talking about. I didn't focus on the Dodger Stadium part. My loon skills are slipping, I guess.

That's interesting, though, back to back series with the Dodgers!

Alright...Deano...I HAVE to say that your latest avatar is the FUNNIEST thing I have ever laid eyes upon in my life!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Thanks man.

you loons are lagging this morning!

Perry's 8th-inning Journey

Henry Schulman, Chronicle Staff Writer

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

(09-14) 20:20 PDT -- Steve Perry, the former lead singer for Journey, will be at Dodger Stadium wearing his Giants cap as usual when the team plays there this weekend and he will leave before the eighth inning, as usual, but not to beat the traffic.

Late last season, the Dodgers started playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believin' " before the bottom of the eighth inning every night as a rally song, and Perry leaves before they do.

"I have to," he said. "I don't want to hear it."

Why? Because Perry is a diehard Giants fan who cannot stand the fact that the Dodgers "hijacked it first" and use it to win games.

Perry has friends on the Dodgers. He admitted it was "amazing" the first time he heard the entire stadium singing along with his voice and finds it appropriate the song is used by sports teams. Still, he said, "It tweaks me to know they're using the song as a rally song. I really wish we'd have hijacked it first. I think the song is about hope and power, and it's working for them, damn it."

That is such a guy thing to do, seriously. Never hear about women getting so pissed off at the other team using a song that they leave the goddamn stadium. Guys are funny sometimes...

Oh I don't know, I'd be some pissed if the Edmonton Oilers (major hockey rivalry) snagged one of my fave singers songs (i.e. JSS' Stand Up and Shout) before my Flames did.

Thanks for posting the article Cyndy.

I went to Carl's Jr. a couple of times when I was in Pleasanton, CA. I kept calling it Hardees. LOL

home of the giants. just visiting may turn you into a fan.

I will definitely give you guys that you have the ultimate bad ass ballstadium.

Look at Poon getting loose, cracking on people's wrongful use of the proper vernacular as well as doubling for a San Francisco Ambassadorship.

Nice work.

PS- I called it Frisco to get you riled up. You know how much I love that city.

You ain't kiddin'. When the White Sux not only stole DSB, but snagged Perrypants too... mannnnn.
My Cubs needed that magic! (I blame Perry fully for this)

[Saint John]

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Why can't Steve Perry go anywhere without some sort of self-induced catstrophic event happening to him?!?! He's gonna actually leave a baseball game before what could be the game's defining moment because they're gonna play a Journey song that he sang because of an allegiance to a team he's had for a mere 7 fucking years?!?! Dear Lord, Herbie was right about him being able to send Freud running for the hills yanking his hair out!

Stay at the game, Steve. It'll be ok!

[ChildInTime]

^
I don't think he was being uber-serious, John. Sure, he did leave, but I don't think he was actually insanely perturbed by it. I thought it was more of a light-hearted tone of annoyance myself. And plus, as I said, I know more than one man who would leave games or turn their TV's off for reasons just as doofy as that. (Though I must admit, I know Steve's made of money, but if he's gonna leave before the game is over, and tickets are probably not too cheap, maybe he should just watch it on TV when his team plays the Dodgers? I mean, if he's gonna not even watch the whole thing anyway... )

Fucker what are you doin down here, there's nothin to see.

Yeah, right? Steev-O needs to stop going to baseball games he's going to leave anyway and go back to WORKING ON HIS ALBUM. Lazy bum.

So that you have stuff to bitch about, of course.

[artist4perry]

Sorry Cyndy, I don't have google set up on everything Perry. Bad fan, Bad, Bad, Fan! I want an album release.........and I will wait for that. Again I am waiting for Your Confirmations..........no more gun jumping! Baseball sightings..........eh...........not so much. Cardinals rule you know.

"It's not enough to get me a latte at Starbucks."

OMG!! He drinks Starbucks lattes?! ME TOO!! Does he order nonfat or 2% or soy?
Any flavored syrup added? Regular or decaf? GRANDE OR VENTI!!?!?!

omgggggggggg!

(sorry. I'll go back to the latex removal society now... or whatever we're calling it today.)

Now every SB's is being staked out by every nut in Cal looking for SP ordering lattes. Bet their stock goes up.

even though the giants didn't win tonight, i'm still a fan of my team & my ballpark by the bay. in fact, i think i like the ballpark even more now that i know they serve yummy mushroom sammiches. mushrooms! MUSHROOMS!!

My personal culinary ideal is that every meal should contain mushrooms and custard, just not in the same dish. Mushroom sandwiches are wonderful!!!

[Red13JoePa]

OMG, this is worse that Twitter!


Cool news, but I'm afraid that the Dodgers Stadium needs a Loon Defcon 5 this weekend.

It's fascinating what people are focusing on. The point of the article was clarifying SP's allegiance to the SF Giants. He's been bashed about that on MR and elsewhere in the past. It's already common knowledge that he attends games.

What comes first, his "allegiance" to The Giants, White Sox, Dodgers or Diamondbacks?
