Who's going to pay for the refurnishing? Whiner fans?
A BART train derailed a few weeks ago. Perhaps that's an Omen for the 49ers future, as it seems to be playing out given all of the off-season arrests.We call upon BART General Manager Grace Crunican (who oddly enough worked as Director of the Seattle Department of Transportation prior to joining BART)
Idiots!

The best part of the Bay Area is the Oakland A's. Now, there's a real fan base of families and long time supporters who love their team and understand the sport. Too bad we have to take stinky smelly bacteria laden BART to get there.Have ridden on BART a few times to attend Oakland A's games. Not the best of experiences.

Dang Prime Time, Reminds me of Andrew Dice Clay: " I was having a real hard time makin friends so I went to the Doc and said HEY Doc, I'm havin a hard time makin friends you F-In Cocks--ker!" lol'sYou've got the description of BART down perfectly.
True story: Got a seat right behind the A's dugout. Don't remember who was beating the A's that day but it was bad. Billy Martin came out of the dugout, I yelled something at him - probably an obscenity - and he flipped me off. I was once also flipped off by John Lee Hooker while driving on Highway 101 but that's another story for another day.

I love the A's, did you watch Moneyball with Billy Bean?

I'm a lifelong Dodgers fan but even with this great roster and new ownership I can't say that I feel much for these guys. On paper, there's so much that I feel like I should be excited about but this group seems to lack passion. I've often wondered if there is just too much disconnect between all the different cultural and language barriers by having so many nationalities on the team?Very true! Those fans follow that team no matter what. I'm enjoying their fast start - They're a scrappy, never-say-die team that's easy to root for. (the anti-Dodgers)
Those seats would look 100% better in Kelly Green & Gold
Yeah, I did watch that and enjoyed it very much.
Billy Martin was intense all the time and probably drunk that day, lol.
I was driving to see an outdoor concert in my little blue 61 Austin Healey Sprite. This was back in 73. If memory serves me well it was Mahogany Rush, Neil Schon, and Jeff Beck with Jan Hammer. A van pulled up right in front of me without signaling so I laid on the horn and waved my middle finger in his direction.
He flipped me back so I changed lanes and pulled up next to him to escalate matters. On the side of the van it said 'John Lee Hooker.' Years later I recognized him from an album cover. Btw he was laughing at me along with his buddies in the van.
Here's to your memory John, you crusty, old bastard, lol.
Very good story. And where can a guy get a 61 Austin Healey Sprite? Sounds like the newest soda wave in Texas. lol's
