Major League Baseball: 2012

I have tickets to the Mets/Astros game on Thursday.. haven't decided if it's worth the gas money to even bother going. They're pretty good seats though.

There was once a time when I hated the Yanks more than anything. But after going to several games in Oakland, Red Sox fans are much more obnoxious than Yankee fans. Although its hard to know what qualifies as fans, seeing as most of those people are probably from California. I have had friends who have been to games at Fenway who have said the fans there were really cool. But the ones that go to Oakland games are not. Not at all. I will still cheer for the Sox over the Yanks any day of the week though.

Saw a post on facebook for field level seats and the guy only wanted 20 bucks for them which is way beyond face value. I hear you can get Mets and Yankees tickets real cheap on Stubhub too. If your screen name is any indication and you are a Yanks fan I wouldn't waste the gas money unless you are a big Jason Bay fan.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;244425]It is one thing for the Expos to get taken over by MLB. It is another thing for a storied franchise like the Dodgers...

If the court case with Bernie Madoff drags on this could be a very long summer.

5 straight wins now. Team batting average is at .239 though.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;244894]It would seem there is an underdog New England baseball team, which at one point was 2-10 that seems to be getting a little traction of late. Now I know the fact that everyone wrote them off a couple of weeks ago means they have no chance at accomplishing anything this season. That said, I'm going to watch anyway being I like baseball. So while the odds are stacked against this longshot, I have a feeling good things could start happening and maybe, just maybe, we won't finish with the worst record in baseball. :wink3:[/QUOTE] Love the sarcasm

Every time I see someone in public wearing a Yankees cap, I approach and engage them to see if I can spur some light-hearted ribbing/conversation. It's become apparent from doing this over the years that 9/10 people wearing Yankees apparel are such great fans that they can't typically name 3 members of the active roster. :dash1:

[QUOTE=Bacchus;245063]Quite the sexist statement... [/QUOTE] I wasnt reffering to girls wearing it or anyone wearing arent pink hatters just what bandwagon redsox fans are called? And remy is an awesome announcer. Also i probably would think rangers have the most obnoxious fans.

A nasty bunch, in my experience around 23 major league ballparks and 10 spring training facilities.

Seems like everyone has bad experiences at some time or another at every ballpark. I haven't been to as many stadiums as V1man but almost all of my bad experiences have happened with Angels fans. The rudest bunch I know.

Dodgers fans will shank you!

[QUOTE=molds13;245076]Dodgers fans will shank you![/QUOTE] Right? How crazy was that? I was more surprised that people stayed to the end of the game! Dodgers fans are usually only there for innings 3-7.

Cubs fans are so delusional it is actually kind of sad.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;245088]I think Tampa Bay Rays fans are the most obnoxious... They continually whine about payroll inequity, yet can't tell me what the inside of Tropicana field looks like being they've neither been there or seen it on TV. Typical Rays fan conversation: [b]Rays fan 1:[/b] Ray's win again! [b]Rays fan 2:[/b] I know! We are awesome! [b]Rays fan 1:[/b] Did you go to the game last night? Or watch it on TV? [b]Rays fan 2:[/b] No. You? [b]Rays fan 1:[/b] No, but I caught the score on the ESPN ticker. [b]Rays fan 2:[/b] Haha! Me too. [b]Rays fan 1:[/b] Ready to play some golf? [b]Rays fan 2:[/b] Yup.[/QUOTE] I cant really judge them because there seems to be so few of them but ya it's pretty sad that they need the yankees, and the sox to sell out. They had 12,446 fans come show up for a playoff clinching game last year and then proceeded to offer 20,000 free tickets so fans would show up. But they had no problem selling out arods 600. Pirate fans are also annoying regarding big market teams feeling that they are the yankees farm system when before this year the last good player they developed was aramis ramirez.

It's also pretty sad when they chant steroids at an ex player. of their ball club and a player who took steroids while on that ball club. In general it seems they're oblivious to how well he did with them and some even have the nerve to claim he stopped them from winning.

I'd say that Dodgers fans are quite rude and annoying. When they're at our park (AT&T), they start a lot of fights with our fans. I've heard them slapping and giving bloody noses to Giants fans on numerous occasions. (And there was this winning Dodgers girl at a game I attended. She wore a jersey/shirt of an old Dodgers player with a skirt. She got in everyone's faces) Phillies fans seem kind of rude with the signs made towards the Giants during the NLCS. I'm not exactly sure that's how they always are since I don't follow them closely. The Boston Red Sox fans that I've experienced can get kind of annoying. But, they're not that bad or anything. Yankees fans however annoy me to no end. Haha.
