Former Giants coach Flannery blasts Padres fans in Twitter post

So much for laid-back Padres fans.

Before he joined the Giants, former third base coach Tim Flannery was a popular player, broadcaster and, under Bruce Bochy, coach in San Diego. Apparently some Padres fans have never forgiven Flannery (and Bochy) for that perceived act of betrayal, and after another round of abuse Flan finally had had enough.In a lengthy Twitter post starting with 'Ok, enough San Diego, here's the deal' Flannery blasted Padres fans for badgering him to return ("We got run out of your town, me and Boch, after he won ...") and then told the fans to demand more from their ownership.
