A final evening at McCovey Cove, starring shirtless Giants fans and uncorked champagne

“Beat LA!”

“Dodgers suck!”

“Now we know where to toss our empties!”

The salty phrases were coming fast and furious from our boat — rhetorical cannon fire, if you will — aimed directly at the lone Dodgers fans floating beside us on Thursday night, the auspicious evening the Giants and Dodgers vied to advance past the National League Division Series. Were these fans towing three children? Yes. But they also had the gall to fly a blue Dodgers flag. There is no mercy in the heat of a naval battle.

I was on a Giants fan’s boat, obviously, on assignment as SFGATE’s official McCovey Cove correspondent.
