What is this poor Braves fan to do?

here's a suggestion...go door to door looking for braves fans.
see if you can find 50,000. then line them up and beat them thoroughly for not wanting to go to playoff games.

When aramis ramirez hit the homerun to put the cubs up 4-0, the atlanta crowd erupted... because it was FULL of cubs fans. thats DISGUSTING.

cities like this shouldn't have teams.

then go to Oakland and find out why their great young team that draws about 10-15,000 a game in the regular season. embarassing.

FAN APATHY AND SUCKY ATTENDANCE: ITS NOT JUST FOR MONTREAL.

I don't think it's disgusting.

More October baseball for us!

The Cubs have fans in every town.
And, Alot of Cubs fans have flown into Atlanta to turn Turner field into Wrigley Field South. That's why the fan eruptions when the cubs did good.

its NOT disgusting from a cubs point of view. they have fans. fans who even travelled to another city to see their win. thats GOOD.

its disgsting from a braves fan point of view. WHERE ARE THE BRAVES FANS?
there are none. that stadium never sells out for a playoff game.

you try getting into yankee stadium or wrigley or fenway to root for the other team. it aint happening. sure, there will be some scalpers selling tickets at outrageous prices BUT all the non-scalped tickets are scooped up minutes after they go on sale by fans of the HOME TEAM.

repeat: good for cubs fans. disgusting for braves fans. do you guys understand now?

Just wait till next year.

Oh wait, next year is finally here.

Go Cubs.


Why is it that the Cubs are the lovable losers and have fans all across the county while the Red Sox who have been losers almost as long only seem to have fans in Boston? I personally am hoping for a Cubs-Yankees series, and I bet MLB and Fox is too since this would likely produce the highest ratings of any of the possible matchups. I adopted the Yankees when I lived in New York for several years and had a free spot in the AL to choose a team to root for since as a Cubs fan I can't root for the White Sox.

Ever met any Red Sox fans? My past experiences with some of them definitely leaves me with little suprise regarding your above statement.

Red Sox fans are also some of the quickest to leave the game early when their team is down that I have ever seen in the Major League.

[OT] Red Sox, OMG!!!

That's all I can say. Huge props to the A's, also--what a series!

 

[Felix]

So, I'm thinking the Sox won?

Good luck in the ALCS if so.

...but my poor poor Braves... *sob*
