Lunch Thread: Brooklyn Landgrabbers

the 2nd State just full of Dodger Fans.
I Hear plenty… Still love Rockin’ some of my angel hats.

To repost the single greatest piece of journalism the OC Weekly has ever produced. (Language may be NSFW.)

I really hope we win this series.

Dodgers fans have the least intelligent and illiterate fanbase in all of MLB.

daaaaaaaaaaaamn…now i know why you got that tricked out Halos’s hat premiered a week back or so.

And was totally obnoxious about it through the dark years.

Back in the ’70s, the Doyers were OK to me, but no more…

Angel Country. My baseball existence is an easy one.

Especially all the idiots in the bleachers and nose bleeds …

 red floyd, you’re right, back then they were ok. from the 90’s on, they have become intolerable…

when it comes to baseball. I coach a high school team and 90% of them are Doyer fans and it gets pretty damn annoying. But even if we sweep them or win 2 of 3 the Doyers are still the better team to Doyer fans. Annoying bastards.

Lots and lots of Dodger fans. Every friend I have has to make the observation that “The Angels suck.” Went to see a Pirates/Dodgers game (I like the Bucs, but not as much as the Angels). The fans can be idiots. I blame the Raiders leaving.

So we go to as many Dodger games as Angels games… Sometimes the fans at the stadium can be intolerable. Most people I know are more baseball fans than anything, so we usually avoid arguments.

I’ve never been to a Dodgers-Angels game in LA. However, my experiences at dozens of games at Dodger Stadium since I was a kid have been pleasant.

Only recently have my friends at work become a bit stand-offish about the “rivalry” (quoted, as I don’t view it as such). Prior to, say 2004, there was never any hostility, just poking fun here and there. Maybe it’s me. Maybe it is the fact that the Angels win more often now. Before we just rolled over and were comfortable playing second fiddle in LA.

The Dodger fan spectrum is covered by the two of them here.

One is my boss, Jeff, who considres himself a National League purist. He’s the kind of Dodger fan that sees his transplant team as the heir of all that rich Brooklyn history, all those retired numbers, etc. One of those amateur baseball historians who knows what I’m talking about when I refer to “dem bums.”

Then there’s Saul, who really has little idea who is on the 25 man roster, probably has no idea what team Brad Penny is pitching for this year, if he even knew last year. He’s not as bad as it gets – he doesn’t carry a switch and doesn’t start fights with strangers. But in the end Blue is just something he’s assimilated into. Perhaps he inherited it. I dunno.

I won’t be going to any game till Tuesday cause I’ve got a full weekend.

Ask them to name four players on the current roster besides Manchild Ramirass.

Just make sure it’s not a one of you and five of them situation. Like ‘Tater Salad’ said: “I don’t know how many of ‘em it’d take to woop me… But I knew how many they were gonna use.”

…tickets were given to me by a vendor. I wear my Angels cap wherever I go so…we will see what happens!

So glad I’m not in the paviliion this time.
Maybe I’ll skip a few fistfights over beachballs
or couples dry humping on the bench
and obstructing my view

Who is going to talk to them over their AM radio headphones and tell them what is going on right in front of their very own eyes?

There…it’s out of my system now.

The Dodger jersey is # 13

One was true to his team and wore the red and one was a total puss and refused to. Last year we went and there were three good fights in the cheap seats. Too bad they lost that night and we had to do the walk of shame wearing all red.

It was the first time in my life I couldn’t piss in public. All these big loked out Dodger fans were heckling me and pushing me while my fly was down.
