Thisw rivalry still isn't half as good as Yanks-Red Sox

I saw the high-lites of Sundays game on ESPN and since it was a day game it was still early evening and light out when it ended after 13 innings and the place was 3/4 empty! I know Dodger fans have a well know reputation for leaving well before the game ends but......damn.

Allright, so Blake is something of a dick. NEXT!

Nobody on earth has a thinner skin than baseball players. Big DEAL! Other athletes have to deal with a lot worse than this every day...get over it already. This silly unwritten code of ethics that baseball players have is ridiculous.

This really surprises me...Blake was nothing but a classact during his years with the Tribe. But if he mocked what seems to be a genuine tribute then he should be ashamed.

Stone him.....STONE HIM I say!!!!!!!

Yes, it is.

Talk to grandpa, he'll tell you how much these teams have always hated each other. It goes back as long as Yanks/Sox.

My dad (from B'klyn) was a Dodgers fan, mom (from the city) was a Giants fan. Talk about a family divided!

And use Panama Red!!

I say Casey Blake should be tarred and feathered and run out of LA. Wait, doesn't it seem like some relievers, i.e., K-Rod and Wilson are showing up teams with their gestures? If you want to get respect, you need to give respect.

East coast bias again....this rivalry is as good with Yankees-Red Sox. Marichal hitting Roseboro with a bat in the head.

Jackie Robinson saying he would retire rather than being traded to the Giants.

Double standard? Relievers can do anything they want and batters get crucified (not pun intended)?

Well maybe not to you, New Yorker. But out here in Cali, no one gives a $hit about the yanks/sox either.

Yep...pretty much. It's funny, i know TONS of baseball fans and live in southern CA, and NO ONE watches the sox/yanks games on when broadcasted on fox or espn.

It will be a rivlary again when the Giants are actually good enough for it to be a rivalry. Right now they are winning but with the triple A lineup they field every day it is just a matter of time before they go on a 10 game losing streak

Who are the Yankees and Red Sox and why should I care.

Oh the Yankees. You mean that sub .500 team with the 200 Million dollar payroll and the $2500 per game seats that are empty for every game. That team. Again who cares.

Iceman1 you make a good point. Though seems the Dodgers and Giants do, do damage to one or the other s teams when they are in contention. ie, knocking out of playoffs. That has happened more times in their series than in the Yanks Red Sox.

Hey Battery Chuckers... urrr Giants fans... How was that last World Series Title? Oh yeah, they haven't won since 1954 as the New York Giants.
