Why they might be annoying:

    It took them 52 years to win a World Series after moving to San Francisco.
    Jim Thorpe's run with the Giants was extremely uneventful because of his inability to hit a curve ball.
    The Giants ownership were disappointed with Willie Mays after he entered the Army for two years (1952).
    They lost 100 games in 1985.
    Apparently God was upset that they beat the Cubs in the National League Championship Series that year that he plagued their World Series with an earthquake, causing the games to be delayed 10 days.
    Owner Bob Lurie threatened to sell the Giants to a group who would relocate the team to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area if somebody else didn't buy it. An investment group, lead by Peter Magowan, ended up buying the team and keeping them in San Francisco.
    They traded fan favorite Matt Williams after two consecutive last place seasons (1997).

Why they might not be annoying:

    When in New York, they played in the legendary Polo Grounds.
    Roger Connor held the career home run record before Babe Ruth came along and smashed it.
    Pitcher Cy Seymour pitched both games of a doubleheader and won both, allowing only 7 hits (1895).
    Carl Hubbel won two National League MVP awards as a pitcher (1933, 1936).
    Mel Ott spent his entire 22-years in baseball with the Giants.
    Two years after Jackie Robinson made his major league debut, the Giants recruited Monte Irvin and Hank Thompson.
    They had the first all-brother outfield in baseball history when they had Jesus, Matty and Felipe Alou (1963).
    Frank Robinson became the first black manager in baseball history with the Giants (1981).
    In 1993, Barry Bonds was awarded with the MVP and Dusty Baker was awarded the Manager of the Year award.
    Matt Williams was on pace to break Roger Maris' home run record until the strike of 1994 kicked in.
    Their ball park, AT&T Park (formerly Pacific Bell Park), is absolutely breathtaking.
    They took part in an exciting World Series against the Anaheim Angels (2002).
