The state of affairs of Bay Area sports leaves something to be desired.
I was looking forward to the opening of football season, but for only one day. I don’t want to admit I was a Raiders fan growing up in Oakland, but that’s the truth. Part of me wants to see them do well and part of me doesn’t.
I hoped they had improved, like everyone does every year. Sorry, Raider fans, you should be used to this by now, and please don’t blame it on Al Davis; I can’t remember the last time he took a snap.
Oh, I forgot to mention: I put a curse on them when they left us for LA. (At least a Cubs fan can relate to curses and goats.)
The Truth is the Truth
Moving over the pond, as we like to say, everyone is excited about the new no-nonsense attitude that Mike Singletary brings to the gridiron. Well, Mike, with all of your experience and attitude, we see some improvement, but as everyone from Pinole to Portugal knows, you can’t be taken seriously with a quarterback named Alex Smith. Sorry 49er’s, the truth is the truth, and I’m a 49er fan.
Hello Giants. You’ve won the west but you still didn’t take the opportunity to shore up your bats so you won’t go all the way.
Let’s Go Rivercats!
Oakland A’s, we love Billy Beene and the whole over-achiever thing but it’s getting old as well. Until that baseball-friendly stadium gets built to provide adequate monies to secure the best or keep our best from leaving every year, the Rivercats will be the best team in your organization. Same old story and it’s getting old as well, and I love the A’s. I still have a patch of grass from the World Series in my mother’s back yard. Oh, I forgot that was 35 years ago; I’m getting old.
But we do have the Sharks to get excited about. I forgot, same story, or what about the Warriors? I heard they were going to trade Stephen Curry and Monte Ellis for some 7’6” point guard named Sid Utzman from the D-League, I’m not having a good day.
