you're deluded if you think the hedge fund managers and lawyers schmoozing clients are real fans. for many it was likely their first game this season.




I don't know if they are real fans. Never said that and can't say one way or the other.

After being swept by one of the best Yankees teams of the last several decades, a completely packed Qualcomm stadium gave their losing Padres an extended standing ovation in appreciation of their remarkable season.




Yes. And Yankee fans don't have that sort of thing in them.




MoeLarryandJesus, you troll, fuck off.
 
InnerSpace said:Chicago is a great example of how fans should be (generally). The Bears and Cubs are a couple of the most notorious teams to lose out consistently, but their fans are some of the most loyal.




Well, to an extent. Cubs were terrible for much of this year but during the last weeks of the season, when the team actually had one of the best records in the majors, a lot of the fans had already tuned out -- as evident by the backlash from fans when the team announced their intermin manager was now just manager. Why? Because he did a great job when he led the team, however, many fans failed to notice this and wanted the team to hire Ryan Sandberg, legend as a player, relatively inexperienced as a manager.





I love going to games in the fall, even when teams are out in contention. It's cool and not quite as crowded, and a lot of the people at the games are there because they love it.

Over the years the complexion of Yankee stadium goers has changed.


Using last nights shit as an example to lump ALL Yankee fans into one bucket is shortsided. The dudes who sat thru the Don Mattiingly years have been priced out.


It sounds like your a Yankee hatter that feels good to shit on The Evil Empire when they overcharge for peanuts. It's way too obvious.

I can see that. I guess that is why I said "generally". It amazes me that these teams and others like them still have hardcore fans and a lot of them. Championships seem to elude them yet they still hang on to hope.





I agree with going to the fall games no matter if your team is in the race or not. Baseball is baseball. Gotta love it.

I feel that. I'm not trying to lump it all into last night's game. I am using last night as an example of what is wrong with some fans in all sports. And by the way, I'm not a Yankee hater. I was glad they won the WS last year against the Phillies. The Rangers are at the top of my favs though.
 
batmon said:Cool.





Baseball is the BAST!




Three cheers for Baseball! (glasses full of pumpkin ale clanking)
 
Garcia_Vega said:maocontent said:Jonny_Paycheck said:Dudes, I am saying: forget the WS. Regular joes in this town cannot afford a Tuesday afternoon game in August.




If your team has amongst the highest payrolls and remains competitve can you really complain about not affording to go to the games?




What kind of a question is this? As fans do we care that we get priced out of the stadium? Hell fucking yes. Did we want a new stadium? I sure didn't. In regards to the payroll, most of that is paid by YES network's revenue. But yeah, the Yankee brass has been all about the money for a long time, so they get the coporate box seat money and shitty fans as a result, what's new?




I'm saying if it's the same Yankee brass (or Red Sox brass or whatever team) that's all about the money but still putting a good product on the field for its fans it's an easier pill to swallow than, say, Pittsburgh - where I'm assuming you can go to any games you want but the team has stunk forever & mgmt is fine w/ it as long as the bottom line is str8. It's the same Yankee brass that's cut throat about making $ that's also cut throat about going after the best players.
 
when your team is sucking, like my phils,sixers and eagles often are, real fans just flip into arm chair general manager mode...you pontificate endlessly on who to keep, who to ship off, who to draft and who to pin the hopes of the franchise on. the nba draft used to be the highlight of my basketball watching season. corny to always root for a winner, you grow more as a fan by mock managing through the shit years
 
cj wilson is sucking ass right now. looks like it'll be heading back to texas. knowing the yankees this shit will most likely go 7. heres to hoping lee can gem it up again.

His message to A-Rod: "You've ruined too many of our white queens."
 
Best part of that article is that "Grim LeRogue...legally changed his name from Joe Rogan."





I bet the real Joe Rogan would've made it past those security guards.
