Ambassador of Funk posted:Not even his own teammates like Buster Posey. If I remember right this whole thing was a rib. Because he's so straight-laced and stone faced they mess with him constantly trying to get some emotion out of him. Last I heard all of the Timmy beef was resolved but at this point they'd jettison Timmy and his Relief Specialist position long before look crosswise at Posey. All accounts I hear are that Posey is one of the good ones behind the scenes. Though I'm a Giants fan so my word can't be trusted because we are THE WORST.

Yeah. Everything I've heard about Posey points to him being a nice, pleasant dude, just a relatively boring one.

Pretty funny how every time the A's almost make it I am cheering for them all the way, wishing for them to make it so we can have a rad Bay Bridge Rematch, and am legitimately sad when they fail. But every time The Giants make it, no matter how rad and unexpected, all I hear is sour grapes. My sister in law is all "Go KC" i dont get it

Can we get a thread/SAS rule about bewilderment over other fans not liking your team or its fans?

People do not like teams who win all the time, it is seriously not that hard. And being like "but how could anyone hate us???" every time someone says they don't like your team does not make you any more likable. We seriously have to have this same discussion every year with the Giants and/or Cardinals.

Why the gently caress do you care if your team is likable? They're your team and they are in the goddamn world series. gently caress everyone else. They root for chump teams with players that suck. I hate all of your loving teams.

Yeah I dunno why the A's might not be happy with the franchise who monopolizes local coverage and has helped keep them at a massive competitive disadvantage by roadblocking attempts to move to a new stadium that is not a literal clogged toilet. It's a dang mystery.

Baseball. Gonna go buy some new Giants gear and keep the tags on so people think I'm a bandwagon fan. I love all of the bitching about new fans during these playoff runs. People get legitimately furious at fans enjoying a successful local team and it makes me so happy.

"Why do people hate my team" is a loaded question anyway, since usually people who ask such things mean the team's players of the current year, whereas the reasons someone hates a team might be one of a whole bunch of elements (ownership, regionalism, record, whatever). I knew someone who hated the Rangers because of George W Bush, even though he didn't own the team anymore. Hate is a much more really fickle thing. There's a lot of teams I don't like that have people I do like on them! It's probably the same for you. I thought we all understood how this works after the Ichiro/Yankees thing. EDIT: mikeycp posted:Yeah. Everything I've heard about Posey points to him being a nice, pleasant dude, just a relatively boring one. He runs the clubhouse, even though a lot of the guys have more MLB time, and a few guys like Cain who have more time on the team. He basically plays Team Dad, which you see sometimes like when he's shutting down Sandoval's attempt to cream-pie Cain after the perfecto:

So many baseball threads to choose from, but I'll link this really cool (but relatively OT) video here, because it's the most active thread. I'd often wondered exactly how it's done.

I knew someone who hated the Rangers because of George W Bush, even though he didn't own the team anymore. Hate is a much more really fickle thing. Pretty much this. I don't really have any loyalty to KC but because my friends who are Giants fans are insufferable and I hate that they've already started their retarded 'even year we got this' poo poo, I'm rooting for KC. It has nothing to do with Giants as a team, they're a perfectly good team, but yea, hate's a fickle thing that usually has no decent logic behind it so SF can eat poo poo this year I guess. Plus as an Astros fan if KC can win the series after all this time there's hope for most anyone to pull out a good team...right?
