From 2010 to 2022, we experienced SEVEN titles. Obviously, we all wish the 49ers had one or more in there (and definitely should have), but that run our Bay Area teams experienced was a magical time.

I have witnessed all 3 of my teams become a dynasty in my lifetime. Not sure if any other geographic location of fans can say the same.

i used to follow the sports guy, back when he was on page 2 and he was always moaning about the patriots and red sox and so forth, and then boston won everything. kinda ruined his schtick tbh.

Uh ok? Cool story.

simply answering what you said you aren't sure about. took about 2 secs and off the dome

The Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics have all had dynasties in one person's lifetime?

Depends on your definition of dynasty. But I would say that the answer though is probably yes for anyone born in the 60s or earlier. Certainly the Celtics and Pats.

Does winning 3 titles in 5 years without ever having the best record and never winning again make a team a dynasty? I think that is debatable. The 49ers and Warriors were clearly dynasties because they were easily the best teams both in the regular season and playoffs and could have multiple more titles. I dont think the same can be said about the Giants.

I think the Giants qualify. Certainly more than the Red Sox do for anyone. Red Sox won 4 rings but did it over a 16 year time frame. That's was my point. I don't think anyone has ever witnessed a dynasty from all 3 of their teams other than us, and I stand by that.

The more I think about it i don't consider either the Giants or RedSox to be dynasties. Let's face it... the Giants were extremely lucky in all 3 of their ws championships. Never a dominant team, never favored to win, and their glory years lasted a short time. .

But we can agree to disagree on that. I'm just happy that I've seen 13 titles in my lifetime. Should probably have 4 more 49ers and 2 more Dubs titles though. As for the Raiders and A's... hated them both and don't count their titles.

When I lived in the Bay Area I din't like the As or Raiders either.The Giants and 49ers were there first so I grew up loving them. I always considered the Oakland teams to be intruders. In the 70s it was hard being a Niner fan because the Raiders were really good and the 49er sucked. Then the 80s came and we got our revenge.

I see the Dodgers signed Kim. One more weapon in their already potent lineup.

Dodgers sign everyone, they have infinite money

Just to be clear it's not the Kim who played with the Padres last season and the one Giants fans wants. The Kim the bums signed comes straight from the KBO last season.

I think everyone is mistaking the two. The guy they just signed is a speed/defense guy who isn't really seen as a top prospect type because he has no power.

No but he looks like a get on base guy. With Ohtani, Betts, Freeman and Hernanadez they have plenty of power to drive him in.

Sad times for Bay Area sports fans. Niners had a terrible seson. Giants struggled all year. The A's are now gone. Oakland Raiderrs are long gone. Warriors are going to struggle to make the playoffs.

I guess were getting payback for thise 3 WS wins in 5 seasons while the Niners were doing well under Harbugh. The Warriors success starting in 2014.

Sharks rebuild going well!

It seems lie they're always rebuilding. They get a decent team but they just have a hard time getting over the hump. It's been over 30 seasons now and no titles. Based on how long it took the Niners and Giants to win their first it's got to be getting close for the Sharks.

What? A few years back they almost had a 10 year run of making the playoffs each year.

Right. I said they got close sometimes but no titles.

When they signed him I went down a rabbit hole of confusion only to notice there names had a one letter difference

I'm curious, what do you all predict Buster's next move will be?

probably flaherty

Buster has to deal with the payroll red line just like everyone else in his shoes had been. The ownership group will not approve anyone taking the payroll significantly over this line not moving the PR needle, unless it is a sensation hugely affecting at least visibility of definite contender and most importantly large part of positive PR that will obviously come with it. There is no one like that left after Burnes, unless he has the trades in mind. But he is not going to trade one asset he has right now, and no one wants what Giants have to offer for the star player. Meaning Posey is waiting on Sasaki's decision, or Flaherty if he doesn't get exactly what he wants and agrees to Giants friendly deal, if Sasaki doesn't work. Otherwise, he'll wait out for the leftovers who he thinks can resurrect their careers post injury or bad year(s) and who'll fit and can possibly help the Giants and won't break the bank.
