Leperflesh posted:Really? Bart to Millbrae from wherever you were in south SF was probably like 15 minutes, Glen Park. 25 minutes. It would be a bit over 20 minutes on a weekday, but on Sundays the trains stop at SFO. Leperflesh posted:and then what, did you not check a train schedule in advance to time your arrival to a scheduled train? Millbrae is not a planned transfer station, and BART frequently runs a few minutes behind schedule. If I was feeling adventurous, there was a BART I could take that theoretically provided like a 3 minute transfer window. IIRC, our history with that was: once, BART actually got there on time and we were able to comfortably transfer; twice, we successfully caught Caltrain by sprinting; and once, we missed it and sat around in the station for thirty minutes waiting for the next (non-express) train. The better option was more like a 15-20 minute wait, and it was worth it because the difference between catching a bullet and not was huge. Leperflesh posted:Caltrain from Millbrae to Mountain View is as you said a little over half an hour. They run extra baby bullets on game days so you shouldn't have had to wait that long. Around 35 minutes. The extra trains were expresses, but they weren't, like, weekday commuter expresses. It was, let's see: Millbrae, San Mateo, Hillsdale, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View. Leperflesh posted:And then you take the VTA light rail to the stadium from Mountain View... which on game days should be the "VTA 49ers Express" service... how long does that take? According to their schedule, around 25 minutes. I think they finally started expressing those trains sometime this last season; before, they would hilariously stop at every single station on the way, despite the train being packed to capacity, and despite those stations all being empty because it was Sunday and most of them are office parks. But the expressing doesn't save that much time, because the train isn't very fast and has to obey traffic signals. And usually we spent 10-15 minutes in Mountain View just waiting for that train to actually leave. So 10 minutes to BART, a few minutes of waiting, 25 minutes to Millbrae, 15 minutes of waiting, 35 minutes to Mountain View, 10 minutes of waiting, 25 minutes to the stadium stop. A bit over 2 hours if there weren't any delays. I think the 2.5hr figure is how long before the game we had to leave. Oh, and then we had to get back, of course, which was generally slower because it took forever to ever get away from the stadium. I think we got home in as little as 90 minutes once by just saying gently caress it, walking fifteen minutes to get mostly out of the traffic, and getting an Uber home at only a 50% surge rate.

The angels are so gay I wish they would move to somewhere like Idaho so I wouldn't encounter their lovely white fans. Also they are gay as in the middle school insult gay not the sexual orientation! Sorry for any offense, but gay is the best way to describe the angels.

The funny thing is that it kind of is, for everyone who isn't from San Francisco (or Marin, I guess). If you're in the South Bay, it's right on VTA, which is as good as you're going to get. If you're in the East Bay, it's right on ACE. Hell, if you're somewhere down the Peninsula, driving to MV isn't too bad, and neither is the one transfer from Caltrain. It's actually just specifically terrible from the city.

The Giants took their coaching staff and won a couple of world series with a team that wasn't highly regarded for it's talent. That is the Padres dream, the fans don't want the best team on paper they want that scrappy team that out performs or comes from behind to win it all. Also, the Giants fans that fill Petco every series are annoying but not worse than Dodger fans.

Dodgers fans are now officially worse than Yankees fans, as of 2014, and this is why: http://www.stevetheump.com/Payrolls.htm By the same logic, the best fans in baseball last year were fans of the Astros. Every time the Astros win a game, it is an absolute triumph.

Why does baseball not institute a salary cap system I guess the answer is obvious, it'd be against players' collective interests in terms of getting paid as much as possible, but it would actually help most players who aren't on one of the top teams by making them much more likely to be on winning teams.
