Giants fans raise over $8k to fly plane taunting Dodgers for opening series
Back at the end of January, there were reports that a group of Giants fans were raising money to hire a plane to fly over Dodger Stadium with a banner that reads "Giants 2010 Champs: BEAT LA".

Well it looks like F*ck Yeah! SHUT UP! Inc has surpassed their goal (101%) and raised the $8,000 necessary to make this a reality. It will be nice to see the banner flying over our hated rivals' stadium and hopefully it is accompanied by a large contingency of Giants fans at every game.

The payment has been delivered to the plane company with the opening series days reserved for flight, and the banner is being manufactured right now.

:rofl:

Things sure have changed. Since the hated Dodgers last won anything significant (1988), the Giants have won 3 NL Pennants and a World Series.

3. Yeah..that was funny
Though not possessing the intensity and history of Giants/Dodgers, the Raiders and Broncos have always had a good rivalry too. Particularly after the Raiders were robbed by the officials in the 1977 AFC Championship..

2. Is this serious?? A bunch of Westboro Baptist douchebags
are going to fly a plane over a baseball stadium.

Douchebag losers.

6. I have an idea for you then...
Edited on Wed Mar-02-11 07:52 PM by Upton
don't watch the opening series. Geez Auggie, it's been a long wait, and we've taken more than enough crap from Dodgers fans...now it's our turn to gloat.

This is totally classless, not befitting the Giants organization.

And on edit...

It's IDEAL for giving the Dodgers EXTRA INCENTIVE to beat San Francisco and to aim their pitches at Tim's and Buster's and Aubrey's heads.

It's not just classless but TOTALLY STUPID AND JUVENILE!

:mad:

12. Upton is actually making George and Hank Steinbrenner look like
upstanding and quality individuals in the community.

What a douche.

13. First off...
Edited on Wed Mar-02-11 09:02 PM by Upton
as I'm sure you're aware, the Giants organization isn't behind this. It's just a group of loyal Giants fans looking to have some good clean fun at the expense of their hated rivals. It's sports.

And if you want to talk classless..what about the Dodgers refusal to alter one game on the schedule so that the Giants could be presented with their WS rings at home in the opening series of the year?

14. IF it is as you say "It's just a group of loyal Giants fans", then those fans
are DOUCHEBAGS!

Why should the Dodgers alter their schedule, when it was MLB that set the schedule.

Whiner of the year goes to UPTON.

20. Why would the Dodgers want to give their division rivals
momentum to start the season? Think it through...

21. Well played, Giants Fans.
Harmless, and it'll get the juices flowing but good.

As for altering the schedule? Tough shit, b****es. Maybe you need to look up "hated rivals" in the dictionary or something.

5. What does Westboro Baptist have to do with this?
I have it on good authority they're Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboy fans anyway...like all the rest of the religiously addled rednecks.

7. If you could actually think, then you would understand what I was saying.
But once again, without cboy here to help you through this, you once again make a douche of yourself.

29. Phelps is a Cowboys fan...
in fact, a recent poll showed the Cowboys are the overwhelming choice of incestuous redneck families everywhere..
