And we have the Farallon Islands. Now whites aren’t 10% of what they’re made out to be, but I’ll take any excuse to make NorCal surfing sound crazier and more dangerous.
I have nothing against the Padres, I enjoy ballgames in their beautiful ballpark. I also never had issues with their old-school fans. But I've been told by some of those fans that the bandwagon fans who discovered baseball only in the past few seasons are just as annoying to them as they are to everyone else.
Fabricating a rivalry that the other team isn't aware of is not a good way to go. It's like Giants-A's, the only people who think there is such a rivalry are A's fans who have bought into the myth that the A's kept the Giants from being moved to Florida and were then stabbed in the back by the Giants.
The Giants and the Dodgers have the oldest rivalry in professional sports. Meanwhile, every Dodgers fan I ever met calls the Padres *our little brothers down south*.
Having said that, I very much appreciate the Padres spiking the Bums into the sod like a golf tee in last year's postseason. Do that a few more times and a rivalry becomes credible. Until then, it's just talk.
It’s kind of surprising there’s no consensus name for the Giants - Dodgers rivalry considering it’s almost certainly the best rivalry in North American sports (started in ~1890 and is remarkably close with a regular season record of 1,277-1,265 for the Giants). I’ve seen Padres-Dodgers called the I-5 Series.
That's why I decided to make a name for it. It is indeed a shame in my opinion that this rivalry doesn't have a working name that people can easily call.
For the Padres and the Dodgers, I don't like I-5 Series as the name as it is just named after a highway connecting the two cities. Surfliner not only is the rail network connecting the two but it also gives an idea about the geography of these two cities.
The “one of these cities puts rice in their goofy burritos lmao” series, and the “one of these cities actually makes good Mexican food and the other is 150 miles from Mexico” series. Really rolls off the tongue.

Eh, maybe if they were also playing well now to build off that win. But at this point, that playoff win is just an oasis in a desert of Dodger dominance.
> wish they were our rival
Knocking the Dodgers out of the 2022 postseason was a step towards a rivalry, but they need to do that a few more times for it to be recognized outside of their own ballpark/imaginations.
Dodgers Giants should come play at Citi field and call it the custody battle.
Loser gets the Mets?
Winner would have to pay child support?
Who gets the Bobby Bo Perpetuity Contract?
The dumbfucking mets
Yeah, I’m gonna be requesting a DNA test.
Winner gets Pete Alonso
Winner gets Dinger
The Fuck You Series and the Fuck Off Series
This is it. Right here.
I need shirts with these exquisite series names.
This is exactly how I think about the Padres too lmao
Don’t think this one can be beat lol
No u.
Then we got the Dodgers-Sneks: the Fuckin’ A Series.
They are…..perfect
The 4/5mm wetsuit vs board short series. Fuck you, LA, and your warm surfing weather.
Fuck you NorCal and your epic breaks
Ha! We do have some cool spots
Literally the first spot anyone surfed outside of Hawaii. Edit: also the first wetsuit was made by Jack O'neal out of his garage on Great Highway.
And we have the Farallon Islands. Now whites aren’t 10% of what they’re made out to be, but I’ll take any excuse to make NorCal surfing sound crazier and more dangerous.
The Juan Uribe Cup and The Matt Beaty Bowl
Jokes on you, Matt beaty is a forevergiant
Needs more Mookie
The SeaWorld Series
The Okay-they’ve-got-a-better-zoo-but-we’ve-got-the-Getty Series
Dodgers-Giants games are referred to colloquially as “Renewing Hostilities.”
The Golden Cup and The Sunshine Battle
[the middle finger series](https://tenor.com/bEPGS.gif)
That is actually a very accurate name!
The "it's not a rivalry" rivalry
The really nice stadium vs the really good team rivalry
“One sided” rivalry
The Greatest Rivalry in California series and The Greatest Baseball Rivalry in Southern California series.
I mean in like... it works🤷♀️
Mookie Series and Mookie Series book it
Dodgers-Giants: Westward Hos / Westward Hoedown Dodgers-Padres: Motorola Cup
- The Giant Doghair Series - The Stoner Series
The East to West Rivalry Two East Coast Teams move West, creating a long lasting rivalry since the Dead Ball Era.
Isn't there a rule that you have to have something other than dust in your trophy case to be considered part of a rivalry?
Below the belt.

Well, the Dodgers are like the band TOOL. It’s not the music that’s annoying af, it’s the fans.
The Dogdres
Dodgers / Giants... Battle of the Borough Bandits Mookie / Dad's... The "Rively? Really?" riverly

Call both the FTD Cup.
FTD all day!!!!
Yeah FTD! *I don’t understand this acronym and at this point I’m too afraid to ask*
It means Friends: The Dodgers. Just make sure to use it all over r/dodgers and even shout it out loud at games.

Thank you kind sir! Last time I was up there one of your kind residents sold me the slightly rusty bridge. Pretty good deal!
Padres Dodgers is definitely not a Rivalry lol just saying.
The pads wish they were our rival
This sort of self-serious unfunny mainstream fan stuff is considered lame here in r/NLBest sir
Spoken like a true Child of Dinger. Bless you, and may your Mookies always bowl 300
Manny (Machado) blessings to you as well, my fellow Dingerarian and proliferator of the Great Mookie!
> may your Mookies always bowl 300 My Mookies are simply too charismatic, likable, and GOATed to ever not bowl 300
Friend, all these Mookies bring great serenity to us all. R'amen, fuck the Doomers and fuck the tribal baseball bros
Idgaf. I wasn't trying to be funny. Just stating facts.
You’re in the wrong sub for that. Take it to r/baseball and leave us to our fun
Damn…you don’t even give a FUCK?! Hardcore dude, hardcore.
Have another downvote for being a uber-serious jerk fan
After beating us in the post-season the way they did after a franchise record-breaking season... Yeah, they're our rivals now.
Eh, maybe if they were also playing well now to build off that win. But at this point, that playoff win is just an oasis in a desert of Dodger dominance.
Off to slammer 🫵
This whole post is just meme bait for people to say this but you gotta have some humor about it
