August 2, 200521 yr This might not be the timeliest shout-out, but for anyone that was at the game on Friday, you were hopefully part of that badass wave. No one can be sure which section started it, but it was right field that wouldn?t let it die. Around the 6th ining that thing just took off, it must have circumnavigated the stadium 10 times. If Juan hadn?t stolen 2nd?who knows, it might still be going now. Each time it?d look like it was about to fizzle out in the gap between left and right, but, the right field fans would pick that thing right back up again with 99% participation. That was a lot of fun to be a part of.

August 2, 200521 yr Meh. I don't like the wave. I also get irritated by the stand and clap when there's 2 strikes thing. It seems like every time a crowd at any stadium does that, the batter gets a hit.

If you see a lot of their games, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. :plain
August 2, 200521 yr This aint a tennis match. Nothing wrong with making noise. 885546[/snapback] Amen to that, brother.
August 2, 200521 yr The waves almost always ends up with problems for us it seems when I am there. But, I will be on my feet clapping as often as possible for our guys.
August 2, 200521 yr This aint a tennis match. Nothing wrong with making noise. 885546[/snapback] Oh, I didn't say I had a problem with noise. Make it loud when we do something good or when we're rallying, heckle the opposing players, etc. I just don't like the wave and the 2-strikes thing.
August 2, 200521 yr I never liked the wave at baseball games. It's great that people are cheering about something, but couldn't it be for a double-play? I mean people get more psyched when that wave is coming around to their section, you'd think they just won world series tickets. Sometimes the people get louder for the wave than for anything else in the game. Not sure what that says about south florida baseball fans.... :confused
August 3, 200521 yr This aint a tennis match. Nothing wrong with making noise. 885546[/snapback] It isn't a football game either so the wave can cease to exist.
August 3, 200521 yr The wave is the face of evil. I agree with Hotcorner. All the bandwagoners start saying "OMG OMG OMG THE WAVE IS ALMOST HERE."
August 3, 200521 yr its so irritating but dang its funny to see 20,000 people like a bunch of trained monkeys anticipating that silly thing to come around... nothing like watching an 0-2 pitch with two men on in the 8th and as the pitcher starts his delivery...."WOOOOOO" :notworthy

No I don't watch to many games, only the ones on ESPN and FSN Florida when they facin the D-Rays.
August 3, 200521 yr I HAAAAATTE when people try to start the wave. Nothing pisses me off more at the games. Its even worse when it actually gets going, because we always seem to be on offense when it happens. Only intelligent sports fans understand, the ONLY time you do the wave is when you are DEFENSE to psych out the other team and get a buzz going in the crowd to get some noise made!! Doing it always screws up the team on offense!
August 3, 200521 yr I hate the wave, but if it makes some people happy, and they'll come back again and buy more tickets, then I can live with it.
August 4, 200521 yr The only thing that pisses me off more than the wave is people who scream like the ball is a homer when its really a shallow pop. The wave takes so much attention away from the game like you all said everyone is waiting and watching others stand up and throw there hands meanwhile our bullpen just blew a lead or we ground into a DP and half the people in the stadium have not a clue. Ohh and one thing that pisses me off at hockey games are people that scream shoot when the puck is at the other end.
