Pathetic Marlins Fans

[QuickGold]

As I was listening to last night's game on the radio and then on TV, it was really pathetic how the Mets fans at the game were able to drownout the Marlins fans. I don't care how many 80 year olds moved to Florida, the fact of the matter is if they get a "Lets go Mets" chant going, our fans should get a MUCH louder "Lets go Marlins" chant to drown them out. Instead, we get a chorus of boos. Give me a break. Keep blaming traffic, no free donuts or Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, but the Marlins have an apparently well deserved stigma of being bad fans.

Were you at the game?

When that happened last night the Marlins fans drowned them out with one loud boo. I was at the game and what a game it was.

[Guest Juanky]

You can't really chant "Let's Go Marlins" ahead of "Let's Go Mets" because they aren't on the same beat. Mets is one syllable, Marlins is two. Doesn't really work chat wise, all you would get is "Let's Go Mrararalins". Boos work better anyways.

I got everyone in my section to chant "seven to nothing" clap clap clapclapclap, and then "check the scoreboard" clap clap clapclapclap.

 

Last night, it honestly looked like it was a 50/50 split, so maybe get on that, but not on the chants; the booing of lets go Mets is standard, it's been done for just about as long as I can remember.

I find it highly offensive that you would criticize those Marlin fans who attended the game last night. Who are you to judge up in Connecticut? I applaud any Marlin fan who went to the game last night. If you consider Met fans and their boorish behavior to be "good" fans...I'll live with the stigma of being a bad Marlin fan.

I support the team the way I can by going to their road games, buying merchandise and listening to the games. And if I was in the area, you bet your ass I'd at the games in Miami. It should not get to a point where the visiting team's fans are more vocal than the home team. How can you call the Mets fans "boorish" for cheering their team on? Thats what fans do; they cheer on their team. It should not sound like the game is being played at Shea when it's in fact in Miami.

I wasnt there so I cant say, but 21,000 fans on wednesday is a good amount for us. Today should be bigger and hopefully carry into the weekend.

[DcFishFan]

Well, the way things are going in Tallahassee these days, the Marlins won't have to put up with Florida fans much longer...

:blink: Marlins fans are not Pathetic :chair

 

21,000 is pretty good for a Wednesday night... alot of other teams around the Majors only had about 16,000 :thumbup

:woohoo

 

I wish I would have gone to the game but because my dad works so far from my house.. he would have to drive over 2 hours to get to the game :thumbdown

 

Work to House

House to Stadium

2.5 Hours :no

 

EDIT: BTW: We do have the Saturday Plan for season tickets

[Mabdul Doobakus]

After the second inning, all the people chanting "Let's go Mets" were Marlins fans. At least in my section...

[FreshFish]

calling pathetic the fans that goes to the games? :plain

 

That's new

I wholeheartedly agree with you and have been saying this for years...There is no reason this team shouldnt get 25K for every game this year and more on the weekends....The support really isnt there....I went to every Marlins-Phillies game here in Philly and some at Shea....Guess what...it's a drive to do but i'll do it for the team i love...The team should move to a place where there going to be supported.

[MiRi]

Some of you are thinking way too much into this.

Yeah, some of us did it too. It was a grand big joke.

[Marlins2003]

I know this is irrelevant to the discussion at hand but I have to say the best part of last night's game (besides the Marlins offensive explosion of course and Luis' barehand play) was watching Cliff Floyd striking out to end the game.

 

Thank you baseball gods, thank you.

[Shamrock]

I never understood booin fans in your HOUSE that are chanting their team on. Why not just chant for your own team LOUDER? duh.

[PhxPhin]

holly, you know we love you and all, but ...........

 

last night here were the draws

 

Baltimore - 36,478

Washington - 27,374

Detroit - 16,887

Philly -25,961

Toronto - 22,838

Florida - 21,339

Tampa - 8,816

St. Louis - 44,855

Minnesota - 24,153

Cincy - 16,857

Houston - 26,119

Angels - 42,531

Seattle - 24,841

San Diego - 37,054

San Fran - 36,955

 

that makes the averag attendence 27,537 so as you can see a lot of teams around the major weren't even close to having only 16,000 in attendance

 

in fact the marlins were well short of the average and only managed to beat tampa, cincy & detroit

 

i'm not wanting to rehash the attendance discussion again, but people in florida need to realize that 21k for a game isn't the norm ... that there is a lot of room to do better, even considering that FL has been a tough baseball market

:plain

 

 

I mostly ment that a few other teams had a lower attendance than us.. I wasnt going on averages and such :confused

 

 

I go to as many games as a can.. :crying

[Hollyberry]

Hey PhxPhin....

 

I burnt my pizza because I was responding to your post

[PhxPhin]

and that's another thing ... no one thinks that the people on this fans are "bad fans" or uninterested, etc

 

just the community as a whole has issues ...... the problem isn't marlins fans, it's the general lack of them

 

people on this board run the spectrum of fans ... old, new, traditional, immature, etc ... but all are fans and all would do what they can to catch this team

 

just there is a general frusteration that the rest of south florida can't see what we do and help out the franchise, by supporting the team, going to games and forcing through a new stadium

 

it is also frusterating for us out of state fans, because it takes effort to follow the team, put up with abuse at road games and have a general longing to actually see the marlins more than a few times a year (i know locals have their issues as well)

 

because of this, when we see an empty home stadium, or opposing fans making a larger representation in the marlins home stadium, it is annoying
