1. Panic!!! Spaz!!!! Flail about!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like you don't like it advertized that your Frisco Small Men draw at 83%.

Meanwhile the Mets draw at 93%.

If that means the Mets don't draw I wonder what that says about the Frisco Midgets?

Oh yeah!!!

They don't have any fans.

3. Again, you refuse to address the fact that you cannot sell out a brand new
stadium.

That's unheard of .. you know, much like the Mets not choking.

(our stadium has been packed on average since the day it opened)

11. Packed on average is 83% of capacity?
You're dumber than I thought.

This subject is supposed to be your expertise. You're literally getting chased off the board with it.

19. The 83 percent refers to this season. The reason I posted the previous years
is to illustrate the average attendance has been close to 100 since the first person walked through the gates of AT&T Park (then Pac Bell Park), on that exciting day in April 2000.

But keep ignoring the facts Cheney.

36. Ok, we'll throw in the 100 percent from 2000
happy now?

Your attendance has still been in steady decline since that park opened. That's even despite a WS appearance.

It's still pathetic.

YOu have a WS appearance, CY Young winning pitcher, and compete against Oakland which may as well be a AAA team for fans. Your attendance is still in steady decline despite all that.

Must be that winning formula they conjured up in Oakland.

LOL

38. The Giants have been terrible in recent years. It's only natural the
attendance would slip a bit.

One thing is for sure, the attendance in San Francisco will only get better as the Giants shoot for their sixth ring.

How many rings do the Mets have? :rofl:

40. Two more than the FRISCO Giants
Too bad with your five rings in New York that the Yankees chased you out of town.

That should tell you what a shitty franchise your root for.

They'll probably eventually move from Frisco as well.

Oh, and that attendance of yours has been in decline DESPITE a world series appearance in 2002.

Baroid Bonds single season HR record of 73 in 2001.

Baroid Bonds breaking Hank Aaron's record in 2006.

That is one fucking pathetic ass franchise you have in Frisco. One has to wonder how much of those attendance numbers a bolstered by the press attending the games for Barroid.

Fucking sad as hell.

You're favorite subject to attack other teams has become an absolute loser for you.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!

I guess the folks in Frisco have other things to do than to pay attention to the Midgets.

to want to show up and check out the place, even if they're uninterested in watching a horrible baseball team.

10. I got 93% to your 83%
More people willing to fill the place up.

83% capacity is fucking pathetic. Even the dead last team in the NHL in one of the crappiest buildings in all of pro sports sold better percentage wise.

Frisco just doesn't have any fans.

Pathetic.

hockey team with the worse fans in the NHL.

LAST in attendance out on Long Island! What an embarrassment.

A little defensive over those Sharks as I recall.

Of course, you were also so insecure that you had to contradict that private apology in public to try to save face.

You are Freud's wet dream, son.

No one else's, mind you....

You've lost it today in ways I can't even describe.

Oh and that embarassment that's been in the NHL since 1972 has more Championships that the FRISCO Giants and San Jose Sharks COMBINED!!!!

They've done more in 36 years what both those franshises with a combined 70 year history.

That's how fucking sad your position is.

6. I didn't gloat about the Mets low attendance figures in my OP.
I'm responding to goofball's claim that the Giants should be embarrassed for only filling 83 percent of AT&T Park, when his lame New York buddies won't even go to the brand spanking new stadium in Flushing Meadows.

I'll prolly end up seeing a game there before him.

9. If your the only the person to crown champion
Fact is that the Frisco Midgets with a Cy Young winning pitchers can't sell more than 83% of the stadium.

They are outdrawn numerically and percentage wise by the a team with the smallest stadium in the league, THE RED SOX.

They are outdrawn by a team that has choked the last two years, THE METS

Even the biggest losers in the history of the sport draw more than you, THE CUBS.

Frisco has no fans.

Frisco has no winning tradition.

They should be moved to a city that's willing to support them.

13. Well first of all .. the Red Sox draw from all over New England ..
And funny what winning will do.

I'm not at all minimizing the tremendous fan support in Boston, but you're ridiculous trying to use that franchise as a measuring stick.

It's clear Mets fans are not the true sports fans you make them out to be.

Total fiction.

15. That argument really doesn't work
as it's clear you are not from around these parts.

Folks from Maine, NH, and Vermont don't come flooding the gate to the ballpark on a regular basis. If you knew anything about the traffic here you would know why.

Secondly, The Midgets don't share a city like the Cubs and Mets do.

Try again, LOSER!!!!!

16. The Giants don't share the city with the A's?
The only thing separating both stadiums is a little bit of water.

I can see the lights of the Oakland Coliseum across the Bay when I'm at a game and the A's are at home as well.

You've already admitted you've never been here, so no wonder you don't know what you're talking about.

WOW!! LOOK AT HOW MUCH DISTANCE IS BETWEEN OAKLAND AND SAN FRANCISCO!!11! :sarcasm:

21. Yeah Oakland is really comparable to the team playing in the Bronx
I admit I have never been there.

But that still doesn't cover for the fact that the Mets and Cubs are outdrawing you. Especially the Mets competing with a team that's won more championships than any in all of North American Sports.

As a matter of fact, the Giants having to compete with the Yankees were chased out of town.

I seee things are much better with you competing against Oakland.

LOL

29. Way to change the subject. You were arguing as though the A's played
100 miles away from San Francisco.

I pin you into the corner, and now you come up with some other excuse. :eyes:

One thing I'll say about Mets fans. They may not support their team, but they have a million different standby stories to change the subject.

35. I admit I was wrong about that
I even did in my response.

But it's the fucking Oakland As. They can barely afford to felid a team. The are like a AAA team playing on the Major League level. It's like my arguing that the Mets have to compete with the Brooklyn Cyclones and Staten Island Yankees.

37. Okay, lets look at the metro area populations:
RANKS #1 IN POPULATION

New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA: 19,006,798



RANKS #13 IN POPULATION

San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA 4,274,531




***Huge advantage!

Not to mention the Giants share California with four other MLB team, including the A's.

And the Cubs and Red Sox STILL OUTDRAW YOU.

BTW, southern New England is a split between the Red Sox, Yankees and Mets.

41. Since you don't comprehend the fact that the Giants absolutely do not have
a bigger pool of Bay Area residents to draw from when the A's suck ..

I decided to throw in the population factor.

Why is it, inthebrain, that the Giants don't win at the box office when the A's suck?

Could it be because A's fans simply stay home .. that they don't all of a sudden migrate to 24 Willie Mays Plaza to watch at team they don't support?

I mean, you're too much.

You're attendence has been in steady decline since 2001 despite a WS appearance and Barroid breaking the single season HR and all time HR record.

12. That would be called "sarcasm", dim bulb. Let's look at the evidence, Champ.
Mr. "Nobody is lower than a gloater" himself doesn't seem to mind it when it suits his feeble needs. And note that you have to single out the worst teams in baseball because you know you can't compete with the big boys yet. It's like a puny kid having to pick on a midget because they're the only ones who can't kick his dusty ass ten ways to Sunday. You're Opie with an attitude. :rofl:

I can almost write your Republican-like hemming and hawing as your little brain scrambles to come up with an explanation to the rest of the people reading this why it isn't flaming hypocrisy on your part....

"That's not hypocrisy, that pointing out an East Coast bias...no wait, what did MLK say, we shall pick on the few teams that suck more than we!!! No, that wasn't it...shit. Oh yeah, you're a racist homophobe!! I win!!!"

I don't why you continue to do this to yourself, but I'm glad you do.

34. Of course you are
While your attendance has been in steady decline for 8 years.

It would be one thing if all I talked about was attendance. As a matter of fact, I ad no idea the Midgets were at 83% till you posted it. I never would have looked it up myself. That goes to show you how much I give a flying fuck about the subject.

You on the other hand do nothing but talk about it on this forum ALL DAY LONG. Really embarassing on your part when your team draws 83% with a Cy Young Winner on the roster. Not to mention it doesn't have to compete with teams in their market that have won a few WS. Well, if you count Oakland which goes back to 87 I think.
