Posted June 8, 200519 yr Hello. I usually just lurk on these boards as a guest and just read what you all have here. And sometimes I have been tempted to post when you just question what visitors think of this site and what is said. I have not posted until now because some of you are the worst kind of "fans". When the Marlins win you guys make it seem they are the best thing since sliced bread and that the rest of the MLB is screwed. But when they lose you act like it is the end of the world. And then I don't really understand why some of you seem to think the batting order resembles something like this: 1-Bill Robinson 2b 2-Bill Robinson cf 3-Bill Robinson c 4-Bill Robinson 1b 5-Bill Robinson lf 6-Bill Robinson rf 7-Bill Robinson 3b 8-Bill Robinson ss 9-whatever pitcher Stick by your team or don't because it makes you look silly otherwise. You look like a bandwagon fan when the only time you see positive things when the team wins. You can see positive things in losses, and negative things in wins but some of you act like neither is possible. Anyway that is what a usual "guest" thinks.
June 8, 200519 yr When the Marlins win you guys make it seem they are the best thing since sliced bread ... I don't see what the big deal is about sliced bread anyway. There are a lot better inventions out there that should've been used in this saying.

June 8, 200519 yr I'm personnally a Red Sox fan. And while I refuse to let myself get so caught up that I act like it's the end of the world, I can understand it. I see it all the time. Red Sox fans take it even further than they do.

June 8, 200519 yr I said most members have been here for years. I can not control what my Dad does. I am not a bandwagon fan, my parents have had season tickets since 1996.
June 8, 200519 yr I said most members have been here for years. I can not control what my Dad does. I am not a bandwagon fan, my parents have had season tickets since 1996. 800589[/snapback] Just because you've had season tickets for that long doesn't mean you're a fan. It just means your parents have money. Anyone with money can buy season tickets and claim to be a fan. I've never bought season tickets, does that make me a bandwagoner?
June 8, 200519 yr yes moneyball, your a bandwagon fan... And im hee seop choi! most here are true fans.. and welcome to the boards
June 8, 200519 yr The date you join the boards does not classify whether you are a "bandwagon" fan or not.
June 8, 200519 yr Dammit people, shut up. Seriously. Is there some kind of an MLB officially licensed bandwagon-fan-o-meter? Well I have this and I do this... blah blah blah. Come on. How many times do I have to post about how stupid it is to argue over this crud? Everyone needs to grow up and stop comparing their past with the Marlins to everyone else's. How arrogant do you have to be to think you are the only true Marlins fan in the world?
June 8, 200519 yr The date you join the boards does not classify whether you are a "bandwagon" fan or not. 800819[/snapback] Exactly. I didn't even know that www.marlinbaseball.com even existed until recently. I didn't think that any Marlins fan pages existed.
June 8, 200519 yr Author I didn't call anyone a bandwagon fan all I said is when you are happy when the team wins and sad when they lose and have these completely different extreme up and downs based on a day by day outcome or a few days then you seem like a bandwagon fan and don't really know baseball. And paging through the boards I see some people who act like everything is done for after a few losses but then after a win or two that the Marlins will not lose another series all year.
June 8, 200519 yr I didn't know there were guidelines on emotions when it comes to being a true fan. Gosh, I guess I better start reading up on this stuff so I know what the definition of a true fan is. Do they sell the regulations at the Marlins online shop?
June 8, 200519 yr Dammit people, shut up.? Seriously.? Is there some kind of an MLB officially licensed bandwagon-fan-o-meter? Well I have this and I do this... blah blah blah.? Come on.?

How arrogant do you have to be to think you are the only true Marlins fan in the world? 800823[/snapback] It's still in the developmental stages but MLB wants it to be on the shelves by the 2006 season. :plain

June 9, 200519 yr This site thrives on overreactions. Members on this site speak about every aspect about the Marlins simply because there isn't much to say about them. If they don't complain about a simple loss one night then they don't have anything to say about them for that whole day. If we wouldn't talk so much good and bad about the Marlins when they win and lose then the amount of talk on this board would go to significantly. And personally, I think we analyze everything way too much. And it's totally ridiculous how constantly when the Marlins win they get nothing but praises and when they lose they just plain and simply suck. The problem is many members here on thise site only look at the result of the games, they look at who has a higher number under the "W" column. They don't look at anything else, they don't take anything else into consideration. This site goes way too fast from one extreme to the next, seriously. It has to stop some time. Members here need to learn how to cope with losing. It's okay to lose, everyone looses, and everyone goes on bad streaks. The regular season isn't a sprint, it's a marathon, so us doing bad lately isn't such a big deal....

June 9, 200519 yr I think you need to get off your high horse. 801913[/snapback] I told him to mow the Marijuana in his yard before the horse ate it. :plain

Don't forget all those deleted post about your dad suing Admin for stupid reasons. 800582[/snapback] wait... did I miss something? 801741[/snapback] One afternoon his father "a lawyer" posted a message on this site that someone had posted a death threat on his little brother's Marlins site. When he contacted Admin about the issue Admin supposedly did nothing. Gomarlins's father said Admin was really going to get it for not helping him track down the culprit of the death threat. Gomarlins then proceeded to make himself look foolish. Editing and retracting statements while numerous mods and members schooled his father on the law of the land.
