Sandoval: Giants fans better than N.Y.'s...

Pablo Sandoval smiled mischievously Monday when asked about beating out David Wright as the National League's starting third baseman.

"New York has pretty good fans,'' Sandoval said. "So I think that this moment shows me that Giants fans are better than New York.

That's giving it to 'em Pablo..

Just keep in mind, our fight against East Coast Bias remains an ongoing battle..

What do you do when you know you don't deserve your position? Bash other teams fans. Not smart Panda.
Plus that East Coast bias really shows when I'm constantly hearing about Mike Trout....

for it's coming at the expense of Bryce Harper. Coincidentally, both of them came up to the majors this year on the same date..April 28.

Bummer for Nats fans (I guess) but Harper no longer has the stage to himself..

BTW was pulling for Trumbo last night. I get plenty of stuff about Harper here.Actually since they both played together last fall we've heard a lot about both here. Harper said he'd like to play with Trout someday...

Time will tell, but it doesn't bother Nats fan. They know Harper is special, regardless.

Easiest two words in the English vocabulary, especially at the All-Star game:

"No Comment"

you know the way he is..they could throw one at his head and he might whack it for extra bases. Here he is making the remark around the 45-50 sec mark.. Pablo is responding to a question honestly and good naturedly.

And it's not like the Mets haven't indulged..

"ASG election of 'Kung Fu Panda' shows the value of a cute nickname. Surprised Giants fans didn't elect a 'ball dude' to start at 3B."--Sandy Alderson

The possible sexual assault charges are the concern for Sandoval and Giants fans. Not what the Mets, their fans, or anybody else thinks about this or his ASG start..

There are 4 starters from Frisco on the NL team.

Fat Panda looks like a jerk even more now
