I am ashamed to be associated (in any way, shape, or form) with the bandwagon jumpers, who call themselves fans, that were sitting in section 450 tonight. You all know who you are.

 

When your team needed you most - in extra innings, with the score tied - you were not offering your support. This is the time of the game when every single pitch is critical. Make a good one and you are that much closer to getting a chance to hit in the bottom of the inning and win the game. Put a good swing on one of those pitches and the game just might be over. Times like these are not meant to be watched while sitting on your butts. They require you to stand, and cheer at the top of your lungs, while willing your team to victory. I guess that the people who were sitting in section 450 (except the handfull of people who have been there for the last several years) just didn't care enough to root for "their" team. Time and time again I tried to get the people on their feet, and time and time again My efforts were for not. The only people who's support I had were the usher and two guys who were Cubs fans. The Cubs fans kept going on about how real fans would be going absolutely crazy at a time like this, without any prodding or encouragement. Finally, after enough of the sellouts in the rows behind me complained, the usher was forced to do his job and make me sit down.

 

What a sour taste this night left in my mouth. A game we let get away, and a bunch of people exposed for the heart-less, faith-less, passion-less sheep that they are. They don't really care if "their" team wins or loses. They were just happy to be at the stadium because someone else told them that it was the "in" thing to do.

 

You people make me sick.

who are you talking to here?

who are you talking to here?

No on in particular. I'm just venting my frustrations. It was a sad sight in my section tonight.

I was on top row of 450 - you are right - fans were not supportive late. But it was a very emotional game, and I felt that the crowd was basically wrung out by inning 11. That's not an excuse - just an observation.

 

I for one was on my feet in the top row from inning 6 to 11, yelling my lungs out.

 

btw, SI photog was up there trying to get panormic of JRS - he said he'd probably get a better shot at day game en Domingo.

 

GO MARLINS!!!!!!!!!

Well did you attempt to rile up the crowd? People complain about the fans and how they suck and this and that, but if you aren't doing anything to help the cause, then you are just as bad as those fans sitting on thier butts!
