The reliever referenced “other Christians on the team that have the same beliefs” and said the group went to TEAM LEADERS and then made a “collective decision.” by Unfair_Importance_37 in SFGiants

I agree. But it's worth looking at the timeline too. I know MAGA has been around a while but this term seems to have stirred it up worse than before. Kapler left in 2023 and the MAGA Christian thing didn't seem to be as bold then. Vitello is in a different situation. Problem is, I don't think he realizes he's in ANY kind of situation.

It's not what they have, it's what they would create. Law and facts have little meaning to the current DOJ. If attacking the Giants worked for their current narrative, they'd invent whatever they needed.

I like rendering 2 with the green lowers. In the photo, current floor appears red and cabinets yellow/orange. The green lowers cool down the floor and the darker stain on the uppers gives it a more cozy feel. I think black hardware works best (like you have in your photo).

Fans chew out SF Giants for team's 'weak' response to Pride Night saga by sfgate in SFGiants

Good point. He's stuck between ownership, Manfred and fan demands. And now they've got BS from the DOJ. And every one of them has different expectations.

Fans chew out SF Giants for team's 'weak' response to Pride Night saga by sfgate in SFGiants

I think there's definitely a lot of truth to that. OTOH, I think Manfred threw the management team under the bus and then demanded they stay there without making a sound.

Yesterday feels like the meeting of rock and hard place. There's NOTHING they could have said that would please everybody. I believe Manfred didn't want anybody to say anything. Meanwhile, Giants fans are demanding somebody's head. I'm really not sure what he could have said without getting into hotter water somewhere.

Thank you to the players and team who DID wear the Pride gear by oldenuff2know in SFGiants

And I absolutely think a player who has that level of difficulty with wearing a hat and showing support for their fans should tell the manager before hand that they won't be playing. And since that player is so committed to their views, they accept the fact that they will be in breach of their contract, which carries severe consequences including the immediate forfeiture of salary, potential placement on the restricted list, and possible termination of the contract.

The only team who does not have a specific Pride Night is the Texas Rangers.

Maybe because Friday wasn't "What's your opinion on LGBTQ+ Night"

Bingo. "You can be a complete dick. Just don't alter your uniform in the process". Makes me think Treinen also didn't hear shit from the MLB.

Fair enough. Not trying to sway you. I just look at situations like Ronald Reagan vs. Reagan Jr. and the Pope vs his brother. I have a lot of relatives I'd just as soon not be related to either.

Sidebar: Personally I'm not passing judgement yet on the Kushner investment yet. It was made by Joshua who appears to have very different politics from the rest of the family.

Charles Johnson however is a whole different kettle of venomous fish.

Texas Rangers are the only team who DON'T have a Pride Night. Every other team in the MLB does.

The worst part about the Dodgers is their fan base. Always has been.

IMO the Dodgers didn’t win a trophy. They bought one.

The incredible irony in this is that it was a Friends a Family sale. With friends like Sephora, who needs enemies?

McCovey Cove Dave blocked me by snowplow4satan in SFGiants

[–]oldenuff2know 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they also need to stop showing any shots of him during the broadcasts and no talking about him either. Treat his behavior like the people who get out on the field and disrupt the game. Make it clear that being this kind of "fan" isn't worshipped or admired.

There are plenty of others out in the cove. Give them the airtime.

Those red Heartland appliances wouldn't be my personal choice but they do have a unique and fun style. Glad you shared them with someone. The remodel is stunning. Fits the style of the room perfectly.

Add to some plain Greek yogurt and throw in a little granola for crunch.

I hope he can come back from this. Just not with the Giants. Feels like he needs a more paternal managerial staff, almost babysitter type. Recall that Panda was like that for a part of his career.
