    Dark Days for Bay Area Sports

    I was just thinking that I can't recall a worse time to be a Northern California sports fan. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if I forgot anyone.

    A's - suck
    Giants - suck
    49ers - suck
    Raiders - suck
    Warriors - suck
    Kings - suck
    Stanford - suck
    Cal - mediocre, at best
    Sharks - good, but who cares? Hockey sucks

    Dark Days.

    This ray of sunshine brought to you by someone not even IN the bay area.

    LEvi Leipheimer- does not suck. He just won castilla y Leon, which you would know if you have been getting his tweets.

      Another positive: The Bay City Bombers are slowly gaining mo as a flagship team in roller derby.

      We recently went to see derby in LA. It is a very cool subculture that is coming back around again after all these years.
      Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

        Good point. We have a local team that is on the rise as well. Their name, you ask? "The Angry Beavers". But don't let the name fool you. I've met a couple of them. They are neither angry, nor beavers.

          Not IN the bay area, but I've been there. Thats got to count for something.

          And I thought about that tid bit after starting the thread. Thus the reason for the change in the first post about Nor Cal sports teams. Its not just you folks that suck, its all of us north of palo Alto and south of Medford.

                I'm excited to see how Lincey does this season. The G'nts will have the best rotation in the West.

                They'll be fun to watch, win or lose.

                  I think the A's could do well this summer.

                    Seems to be catching on as well in SLC. Just finished putting together the tibia and ankle of a woman who injured her leg in roller derby. Her derby name is Veronica Tastrophe.
