Crazy Crab’s dramatic, unannounced return, 2006 vs. Athletics.

I was living in the Bay Area at the time. After being TV-less in 82 and listening to that exciting season on the radio (with the great Hank Greenwald), the change of fortune and the introduction of the crab was quite a comedown.

His farewell speech at the closing of Candlestick Park was a classic: ‘I hate you all. I hope the Dodgers sweep.’

Q: What’s worse than loony lobsters on your piano?

Cubs fan here. Always been a shit fanbase. Truly repulsive.

This nails the culture:

Also, I guarantee he has a goatee

Not really. Not that there aren’t people out there just trying to piss people off, but if you listen to sports radio, this is the same motherfucker that thinks his team can trade their worst player for an MVP candidate.

You ever get the feeling that some of those over-the-top obnoxious comments are written by people who actually don’t like the team they’re pretending to tout?

“Nice throw, man.”

I thought tossing one off at the river was fairly common in Pittsburgh.

Meh, he threw it the wrong way.

I’m just going to say that I am not at all concerned with the White Sox as a west coast Giants fan. However, these articles are the best goddam thing in sports journalism. Please carry on liking your team and bitching about their shortcomings.

Uh

Please ask Drew about the etiquette of giving the traditional birthday frozen turkey. Kosher af.

See the announcing team should have made sure they had a guaranteed rate.

A Trump-supporting Red Sox fan?
