Sometimes this board looks like it's full of hypocrites.

 

The same people who hate the wave and say they have their own opinions, are the same people who get mad when people express their opinion or do what they want to do.

 

Hmmm.

:notworthy

So how are you planning on making them stop? If the majority of the fans want to do the wave, then just let them have their fun.

I'm not gonna stop them, my opinion is just the wave is stupid.

 

"sorry for having an opinion."

My opinion is this, if you want to do the wave, do it between innings, during pitching changes, stuff like that. There were quite a few times last night where it was a big time in the game (runners in scoring pos. etc) and people were more concerned about the wave coming around.

Who cares? why are we arguing over this

yep thats whats the worst

"sorry for having an opinion."

Right back at ya!

People are entitled to have a good time when they pay their money and attend games.

 

I hate the wave, but if people want to come (which they didn't for years) and they want to do a wave, I say go for it.

 

There's a mother and her four daughters (she's maybe late 30's, her daughter late teens, early twenties) about five rows above me who chant and dance and really have a ball at the games. They cheer and scream and boo and it's really infectious.

 

I guess I'm enjoying all the bandwagoners or whatever you want to call them. It's great to have the stadium filled again, it used to be so depressing to go and see all the empty seats. If nothing else they've shut up the local sports media, and especially the Herald which almost with glee, reveled in reporting the daily falling attendance of the once laughingstock Marlins. If for no other reason, I'm lovin' all our new fans.

 

I think the players appreciate it too. We've seen numerous quotes from players who recognize that people are coming out to see them. They have fans now. Jack regularly says things like "we didn't give them a good show last night" or "the fans got to see a great game tonight" recognizing the importance of a fan base. Attendance-wise, I bet we stack up well this season at 31,000 averaged and a terrific 42,000 last night.

 

As long as they don't turn into "CubsThugs" I welcome anyone who wants to attend a Marlins game and if they want to do a wave in the first inning nothing will make me happier. Just keep coming.

I just love this post...good one.

 

 

But I will admit sometimes it can get annoying.....I dont mind standing up to let people in and out of their seats...but there wasnt an inning that went by that i could just sit there.

 

PLS I BEG OF YOU....IF you are one of the people that has to get up every inning ... AT least do it between innings and not during gameplay!!!

 

 

 

AS far as the Wave is concerned....BRING IT ON...dont bother me...Im happy people are there.

Batato, thanks for kind the words.

 

Let me let you in on a great little secret - front row upper deck. I have a kid too and we are lovin' having no one front of us. Great view of the game too! Kids tickets are only $2.00, adults $7.50 and it's so much better than in the lower sections with vendors standing in front of you selling beer, people coming in and out.

 

Give it a try, best decision I made in 2004 was moving upstairs.

I don't mind the people doing the wave, but i dont do it while we are batting or pitching, only in between. But one thing that gets on my nerves, is when people leave early. IF u saw the game yesterday people were leaving right after the Braves scored 4 extra runs!! I think it was like the 7th inning or something. What kind of fans are those?? Like we can't catch up to 4 runs having the 7th 8th and 9th inning left. I mean i bet u anything, when the marlins see that they feel like its over becuz the fans feel that its over. They probably don't even realize it, but it creates such a negative vibe when u see the once full crowd go empty! I stay there till the end! i dont care what the score is.

AngelEyez, I noticed that too. I think it was just sad seeing all those fans leave. I know it was late,but that was a lot of people leaving. We stayed until the very end.

Yeah, I REALLY hated that. Shows just how many badwagoners we really have. Hopefully it was because it was a school and work night and everyone was on a time limit anyway. But The Fish got their money, so it's all good.

I'm not a bandwagoner, but down 4 with Smoltz coming in at like 1045 on a school night, I'm out. If you don't like it, too bad.

i hate the idea of people leaving during the 7th..why?some times i hate some of the fans for doing that...if you really support the marlins(or any other team at that)you stay till the end,winning or losing?and about the wave and the screaming i love seeing that because i think it gives the marlins players ressurance that the fans are supporting them!

I know when Sea Bass is battling through a slump, he gains confidence by seeing the fans doing the wave.

And about leaving early, I've shown up more than nearly anybody, so of course I'm going to leave early a few times a year.

But The Fish got their money, so it's all good. I stayed until the last out....and why not. This team always has a chance to come back, and besides it was an absolutely beautiful evening in south Florida. If nothing else I enjoyed cheering for our guys...and enjoyed the gently breeze.

Yeah one thing I cant stand is the people who constantly get up and walk through the aisles buying and doing who knows what.

 

I mean really are you paying $12 a game in upperdeck to walk along stairs and buy food or did you come to watch a baseball game. I can 100 places where you could do the above and save a lot of money.

 

JUST WATCH THE DAMN GAME!!!

PBMarlin: Didja go with kids last night?

Yeah, I don't care if we are down 50,873. You don't leave early.

 

I had school today and a test in my hardest class all essay. Did I leave early? No. You are going to make a sacrifice to go to the game make the full sacrifice. Don't be there and then say oh game is over I have school because you are just as bad as the other people leaving early for other reasons. You go to a game, you don't leave early, end of story.
