Tubesox Nation Stiff-o-Meter


About the stiff-o-meter: Giants management continues doing very little to improve the on-field product (clean-up hitter, anyone?) while expecting fans to pay outrageous prices for tickets, parking, food, drink, and merch. Tubesox Nation says stiff 'em. If you follow any branch of the Five-Fold Path, click here or on the pile of money in the right-hand sidebar to add your DOOSH to the stiff-o-meter and join in the Improbable March to the MLB minimum and beyond.

    This a fantastic website. I went to a game recently- took public transpo, ate a burrito bought outside, bought no merch, but did break down and buy a coke in the 7th inning. Tickets were gifts from my sister.

    Other than that, I don't like how I am unable to see the stiff-o-meter and the VOTE NOW! without having to use a slider.

    Also, I think there should be a small section on Clair Lilienthal (sp) park and the greatest knuckler to ever toss there (and crank cloud-scraping dingers).

    I sunbscribed and although I won't be able to stiff the management for another two years, next time I'm in town I will do my best.

    Also- What's with not granting me access to the stiff-o-meter? I saw Mike Ivey ground-rule double into the right field stands to beat the Dodgers in the 14th inning of the nightcap of a double-header in the late 70's.

    yo,Joe

    what's with coming in here with excellent utility infielder knowledge and NO clue on how to spell the name of a scion of one of SF's first families? . . . that's Claire (with an "e") Lilienthal Haas to you. This is a virtual democracy in the truest sense of the word . . . stiff-o-meter should be accessible if you click the pile of money in the right-hand sidebar.

    I have many names. I screwed Haas out of that 'e' because A) her family backs the A's and B) She runs in the same circles as Baer, Macgowan, Billy, and the other knuckleheads this website is against. Or at least she would if she were still around.

    I've got browser issues with the stiff-o-meter that even (insert latest spokesman here)'s Viagra won't cure. It (the meter) extends out across too much of the page. Know any out-of-work SalesForce.com programmers who can lend a hand, if they're not too busy with the niblick?

    Great blog. I'm enjoying each bit I read.

    per your Viagra crack, Jugeton . . . be advised not try to read too much into technical blog terminology such as "stiff-o-meter" and "doosh"

    I noticed several incomplete entries in the stiff-o-meter, including one by someone named Botcho. So I did the math and entered the totals. If they are wrong, blame the Claifornia primary school system.

    By the way, I was in my local hardware store last weekend, looking for a broom to wave tomorrow (positive thinking!), and I came across a product called Snake-B-Gone. I know it has very little to do with Tubesoc nation unless Arizona is in town, but I thought it was pretty cool. I took a picture with my cellular telephone but because I am a Luddite did not manage to save said photo.

    Hope all is well in the Bay Area.

    But I'll take responsibility for my atrocious spelling and/or typing "skills".

    does snake-b-gone work on burmese pythons? . . . never mind, get out your broom b/c it's 6-3 in the 9th . . . any truth to the rumor that you learned to spell from sitting in on Bob effin' Milano's chalk talks?

    mea culpa . . . been busy trying to make some money . . . doesn't help that the stiff-o-meter has been stuck on three digits for what seems like eternity . . . I know what you're thinking, if you don't like the stiff-o-meter, get out there and stiff the Giants yourself . . . but like i said, i've been busy.
