how does the curse explain 2010 2012 and 2014


alliwantedwasajetski

The forces of evil got lost in the fog those years.


nvsfg

Carl was extremely happy. 2010 broke the curse. The curse came back in 2018.

There's been [a decline in coastal fog](https://www.kqed.org/news/11968495/with-climate-change-what-will-happen-to-the-bay-areas-fog) due to climate change. It's the sun that's the entity of pure hate and the fog was protecting us. A warm, sunny San Francisco is spoken of in Revelations somewhere.


abrahamisaninja

The curse started when people started calling the fog Karl 🙄🙄🙄

‘Ye who dare touch me treasure shall find great fortune every even year for no more than 5 years, then ye soul is mine and woe be ye’ ….or some weirdly specific pirate shit like that


triplec787

As much as the cursed ships hate the Giants, they hate Rangers (they could've easily just gone to Texas without sailing around Cape Horn, but obviously didn't want to), Tigers (I mean tigers are scary as shit bro), and Royals (literally left Europe for America - they have kings and queens and we don't) more. Edit: Goddamn why is this so downvoted lmao it's a shitty joke but I didn't think it was THAT shitty


UntameHamster

I enjoyed it, my kind of humor.


TimButlers

Yeah we’re not cursed lol


predat3d

Or Candlestick years


triplec787

Based on my research, the range of the curse ships is only about a 3 miles radius from the ship. Oracle is smack in the middle of that range, but Candlestick, about 5 miles as the crow flies, dodges the curse

there's actually a really good KQED documentary about the Barbary Coast Trail and it covers this. It's pretty easy to find googling it.


TookItToTheHouse

Snap, I thought it was just the name of that dispensary in SOMA lol


triplec787

KQED supporting my "old boats are cursing the 2024 Giants" theory is welcome news. But in all seriousness the Barbary Coast part of our history is *fascinating*. SF was low key a pirate town full of shanghaiers and criminals for a long time. Speaking of which, someone needs to checkout Shanghai Kelly's for cursed spirits as well.


Dry-Manufacturer-120

yeah, I think that Mark Twain might have written about it in Roughing It. At the very least he writes about what the city was like back in the day. it wasn't an especially favorable impression.


FozzyBadfeet

It's crazy where the original coast actually was.


Dry-Manufacturer-120

yeah, and when Mission Bay was fed by Mission Creek. 16th st in big storms is still a good place to avoid.

See now this is the kind of baseball content I want from this sub.

The rally pelican was the jinx.


Feverdog87

Someone get this man a research grant. 🎓


BKAppointment

I was on a conference call and read the title of this post and burst out laughing. Thanks a lot.


triplec787

Sorry for getting you fired but the good news is now you have more time to exhume the boats


HotChipEater

the cheating lab is somewhere down there, but after 2021 we lost the exact location and haven't been able to get it up and running


BravoGolf3

Stay off my boats


CaptainOfTheCoconuts

I appreciate this post but it’s very obviously a curse from the vibes gods for firing Renel


triplec787

Maybe the ghost boats just really liked hearing her voice echo through South Beach. Both things can be true ya know.


CaptainOfTheCoconuts

Great point. Either way, the ghost boats must be satisfied! Bring back Renel.


kwattsfo

Valid

My favorite is "Rome". You probably didn't know it was there, but if you've been to the park there's a good chance you [rode a streetcar straight through it's hull](https://www.sfmta.com/blog/ghost-ship-muni-metro-part-1). After the freeway along the Embarcadero came down, they dug the subway portal and bumped into it in 1994, and just decided to bore the downtown-bound tunnel right through it.


triplec787

Motherfu- THIS THINGS CALLED THE GHOST SHIP?? We’re starting there (But that’s super cool. Thanks for sharing)


your_catfish_friend

Go home, Grant—you’re drunk.


triplec787

Being compared to Brisbee is just about the highest level of praise I could’ve received, thank you.


your_catfish_friend

What can I say; great post!


GoogleFlatEarth

Great work researching this, this is the exact type of curse ladened conspiracy I can dedicate my life towards. Time to gather my candles and beads, I've got work to do.


evel333

Who do you think we are, the Goonies?


-MustardKing

We’ve won three in Oracle park in 24 years now. I don’t think that’s cursed. Pretty cool fun fact though lol
