Croix De Candlestick

Brief History: The Croix De Candlestick pin was handed out to only the best and most diehard of Giants fans. After an extra inning game at Candlestick, any fan who braved the elements and stayed for the whole game was given the coveted pin. Candlestick Park's conditions past 10 o clock and the 9th inning at night were harsh and unforgiving. To own a Croix De Candlestick pin is a badge of honor that tells the world, "I love my Giants"

ESPN Commentators Are Idiots

The Idiots of ESPN. Catchy isn't it? It's a title that, starting now, will describe the likes of Chris Berman, John Kruk, and Joe Morgan. Chris Berman seems to think he is timelessly clever. He can't say the name of a baseball player without doing the following: "And now coming up to hit, [Player's First Name] [insert moronic nickname] [Player's last name]". John Kruk basically will jump on the bandwagon. Using last season as an example, he would say something at the start of the season such as "The Red Sox don't have a chance this year". Then when the Red Sox go to the World Series, he'll say "I was supporting the Sox the whole season." But, the main factor that keeps me from taking this shmuck seriously is his opinion on Jeff Kent. He "loves Kent's attitude". Kent's attitude was a plague upon the Giant's clubhouse for the time he was a Giant. Jeff's redeeming qualities (if any) are few. Proceeding to the next of the three stooges, Joe Morgan loves stating the obvious, doesn't know squat about the nuances of baseball, and needs to be banned from announcing. Example: "And Wagner strikes him out with the fastball. That one was way outside, not even close to the strike zone. Let's take a look at K-Zone. [K-Zone shows that the pitch hit the inside corner]". As a testament to the idiocy of ESPN commentators as a whole, the geniuses on Baseball tonight were already calling the Mets to not make the playoffs after starting 0-5. Sadly, I'm not exaggerating this in the least, so be afraid...be very afraid; because with the start of the baseball season comes the Idiots of ESPN which makes some of us fans want to scream, "Godzilla!!!"
