For those of you who think protests don't work, sometimes they do. Three years ago, an outlaw group of Giants' fans (the Crustacean Liberation Coalition) rallied others and staged a mighty protest against the Giants to reinstate Crazy Crab. With the exception of one magical night two years ago, Giants' management has pretended the Crab ever existed but have finally decided to embrace the Crab and tonight, for the first time ever, the Giants will host Crazy Crab Night. For the low, low price of just $26, you gain admission to a pre-game Crazy Crab party in Lot D, a Crazy Crab bobblehead (!), a free beer and a free crab sandwhich. The event will feature a DJ, "entertainment for the whole family," and an appearance by the Crab himself.

We laughed so hard watching those Revenge of Crazy Crab and KTVU Mike Litoris clips this weekend that we immediately decided we finally had to get out from behind the curve and finally go check out this YouTube thing everyone's so into these days.

n a promotion that worked way beyond anyone could have thought, the Giants held '80s night for last Friday night's game against the A's. They played 80's music, they busted out their old orange uni tops, they played old commercials, and they even made it cold and foggy at AT&T just to give it that old Candlestick feeling. And then they took it to another level. They busted out Crazy Crab. The Crab Revolution will be televised.

Saturday: SFist Jackson tipped us off to the Swearing Festival starting at 7 at Edinburgh Castle. 5 hours of vulgar speech-related activity sounds like a party to us!

Truth be told, it's not that easy to choose our favorite Bay Area athlete these days. We don't think it's a stretch to say that twenty years from now, some barfly isn't going to be telling some young whippersnapper about how these were the good-ole-days . Hard to believe, but it was just three years ago when we could claim to being the center of it all. The Giants were in the Series and the Raiders in the Superbowl, the A's had the Big Three and were perennial contenders, the Niners hadn't fallen off the cliff into suckitude yet, and Stanford basketball was always a Top 10 presence. And today? Try this on for size-- the most exciting team in the Bay Area is your Golden State Warriors. As in, wha? As for athletes, this area had some serious star power wattage-- Will the Thrill and Barry; the Giambi Brothers and the Big Three; the amazing Jerry Rice; Joe and Steve. But today, the wattage is considerably dimmer. Oh yes, we still have the biggest badass in the land, the Barrisimo, but he did miss most of last season with rickety knees. And then there's his tainted legacy and our well acknowledged mixed emotions towards the Big Fella. Which leaves us with who? Crazy Crab? So, with all that to ponder, we give you our 2005 Favorite Athlete 'Fistie to (drum roll, please): Baron Davis.

SFist, the Bosworth of the Crab Revolution, attended the Crustacean Commotion and can report that a fine time was had by all. How could people not when wearing funny hats, carrying signs like "Jeffrey Leonard Believes" or chanting "More Crab, Less Seal. Bring back that Crazy Crab!" While the protest numbered a small but vocal crowd in the twenties, their voices were definitely heard. Giants' faithful gave them high-fives and newbys gave them quizzical glances. A counter-protestor even followed along in support of Lou Seal.

Oh, woe is the Giant fan. This week we were taunted at by our resident A's scribe and all we could come up with as a retort was "at least we got a stadium." My, how the mighty have fallen. What else could we come up with? Our DL list could crush your DL list? Our GM has a better mullet? There's only one thing it appears that can save our season: Crazy Crab. What else do we have to look forward too? You've seen the Web site, you've heard the stories, you've bought the baby t's, now rally for the cause. This Saturday before the inevitable botched pitching job against the Cardinals, the Crustacean Liberation Coalition is calling for a rally to help bring back Crazy Crab-- Crustacean Commotion. Join the fun, drink some beer, wear crab hats, and fight injustice. The fun starts at noon in front of Pac Bell SBC Park and afterwards, everyone will continue fight crab discrimination at the Park Bar & Grill. As Triumph once sang, "Fight the good fight every moment/It's your only way."

We would give your weekly Giants report, but we've noticed that ever since we've flailingly tried to replace the Essefficist in doing this, the Giants have been doing nothing but suck the big suck. We could mention that they're showing signs of life and playing better, but we're afraid of jinxing it by mentioning it. And since we all know that it's only going to end up with us drinking Jack Daniels at some watering hole and listening to Hank Williams, why start? Instead, we here at Your San Francisco Giants would like to draw everyone to a cause, one near and dear to SFist's hearts. A cause so righteous, so true, so full of Sweetness and Light that we have to rally the flag. And that's this-- Bring Back Crazy Crab.
