Giants-Dodgers rivalry-related lawsuit

[cboy4]

Oh did the fists used to fly when the Giants played at Candlestick Park.

All of the dumb, dumb Dodgers fans waving their colors only to get their asses beat.

Sigh. Such good memories.

Everyone is so polite at AT&T Park :puke:

Weeks before spring training, the Los Angeles Dodgers got an early workout Tuesday as jurors heard a woman's claim that the ballclub failed to protect her from a drunken, abusive, foul-mouthed woman who assaulted her in the stadium parking lot after a game against archrival San Francisco.

The central issue is whether the Dodgers provided enough security at the ballpark in Chavez Ravine. Marta Parra Helenius, a 31-year-old nurse, alleges that the team didn't follow its own rules on how to handle unruly fans, paving the way for an attack that left her legally blind in one eye.

Helenius was punched in the parking lot after the Giants pulled out a dramatic ninth- inning victory July 17, 2005, before 47,000 spectators.

1. Drunken, abusive, foul mouthed woman

who assaulted someone in a parking lot?? Was she on steroids? Is she the protypical Bonds fan?

2. Nope, just classy Dodger fans.

I've turned over a new leaf for 2008.

See how I just let the Bonds comment slide by?

Peace and love. Peace and love.
