Yes the title was sarcasm... OK So i'll start us off...

 

It was the day after Game 4, WS 03' and I had a sub in Biology. I was talking with a friend on the shot that Sierra hit in the 9th, on how i was saying during his atbat... "Anything but a triple." I was glad to see Urbina in, because Looper had been going through a real rough time, and I didn't want him out there with it all on the line.

 

The sub, who had been trying to get into the conversation by claiming to be a huge fan jumps in to say "Robin hit it because Urb-eye-yn sucks. They should have put in Loopahr (i think he thought Loop was french...). I also get the feeling that he hadnt seen the end... I think he thought that NY won it..

 

We've all had Bandwagon experiences, share yours!

I was talking to myself earlier, and I'm a bandwagon fan. Forgot what I talked about though, I'll ask me later.

*gasp* Would you shut down the site if we finished below .500 in any given season?

All I remember is Fan Fest 2004... Pudge was long gone. We hear someone behind say, "Where's Pudge?" We were a little annoyed, especially because of all the media coverage on Pudge when he left.

"Bandwagon fan" is the most overused term in sports... It has even taken over "Cinderalla story". I hate both the terms and I don't like how people always judge everyone to be "bandwagon fans" because they have differing opinions. I mentioned this in another post about how it resembles the MacCarthy era.

Okay, but along the same lines... When I was much younger and I lived in the Dallas area and my family was attending tons and tons of Rangers' games, we took a friend of mine to see them play and he asked me "When is Ryan Nolan gonna bat?"

Bandwagon fans are great.

 

Who really suck are men who bring their wives or girlfriends along and try to prove they know everything about baseball by reading from the program or scoreboard. You can spot these pretty easily. The best way to shut them up is to ask them about a manager's strategy and if he agrees or disagrees with the move.

 

"Oh, this guy's a .258 hitter. He can't around on a good fastball."

"Here's a good fielder. Bats eighth in the lineup. You don't bat eighth in the lineup unless you're good on defense."

"He doesn't have the best fastball. Just 84 miles per hour. Sometimes 94. Other times 88. Inconsistent, ya know."

The last thing I would ever do is try to impress a girl with my knowledge of baseball. Instead, the girl should be trying to impress me with hers. It is the clear and easy route straight to my heart.

It bothers me so much when girls go just to cheer Miguel on. I remember this game where these 2 girls were sitting in front of me and my friends, and all they would do was talk about how "Miguel is so hot". So, the crowd started booing cause JP got called out (even though he was CLEARLY safe!) and then the girls kept asking why were were booing. It's like: "Pay attention to the f***ing game and you'd know why we were booing".

 

But that's just me.

 

Edit: Oh, and some girl in my health class was rooting for all the teams BUT the Marlins. She came in with the Giants hat, then the Cubs hat, and then the Yankees hat. The day before game 6, she walked in with a Marlins jersey and hat.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard was, "Are will still in second behind the Yankees."

 

After we had lost game 3 of the World Series so a**hole in my class says. "I knew this team sucked, the Yankees rock, I'm rooting for them now. The Marlins are just pussies." After we won the WS he came in with a Willis jersey, Championship cap and that other stuff claiming to be the best Marlins fan of all-time.

I would have kicked that guy's ass! That makes me mad. How can anyone say that and then celebrate like they believed?

Went to a Marlins-Yankees game in '98 at the Pro and this annoying dude in front of us kept jumping up and down and waving his '25-Time World Champs' banner whenever the Yankees did anything and my sister and I just kept saying, "Hey man, I don't see '97 World Champs on that sign!" So when the game ends he picks up his banner and puts it inside a '97 World Series duffel bag. :blink:

I'm the only Marlins fan in Virginia, bandwagon or not.

This one kid sittin in front of me said:

"Pitchers can't hit"

 

I went: *cough Dontrelle Willis cough*

Yeah .. just sit in the cheap seats (fish tank, outfield reserve) and every time Miggy comes to bat, you'll hear them all scream .. most of the time they just aim their camera towards him and scream "CABRERA I LOVE YOU" .. gets annoying after the 4th inning..

Ugh.... that gets on my nerves but at least they're annoying butts help us with attendance. Heh... It's funny though because when Miguel's name is announced, it's like if Justin Timberlake has just walked on to the field.

No, you're not. My nieces and nephew are Marlins fans. :cool

Worse than any bandwagon fans are Mets fans. They think their garbage is better than any other team's best player. This is part of a conversation I overheard not too long ago between two Mets fans:

 

Fan #1: "Our pitching isn't that great."

Fan #2: "Yeah, we need to make a few trades."

Fan #1: "What about Matsui, I know a bunch of teams'll want him."

Fan #2: "Let's trade Matsui for Clemens, the Astros'll do it!"

 

 

I was seriously thisclose to slapping both of them in the back of the head Three Stoges style.

All NY fans are like that hehe

I have had several disgusting encounters:

 

"I have been a Marlins fan for more than 20 years already."

 

"The Marlins are stupid because they don't get Randy Johnson."

 

"When is Cabrera gonna pitch?"

 

"Paul LoDuca is an awesome outfielder."

 

During the '03 playoff run I almost puke hearing all those morons and their "baseball knowledge".

The other day vs the mets on 5/26 there was a lady with a mets cap and a 86 thorwback and she was cheering for the marlins when they were introducing the marlins lineups and when delgado homered off benson then she cheered for reyes's triple and then she and her friends started chantings marlins suck and lets go mets.

She just sounds confused. :lol

 

Seriously though, maybe she just likes our players, in spite of being a Mets fan. That doesn't really qualify as bandwagon.
