All,

My official stance:

permaban Rockies fans
tempban Cubs fans until they are eliminated from the playoffs
Phillies fans for mods
D'Backs fans get benefit of the doubt

Hope that clears things up.

Ridiculous. A pox on the Rockies and their annoying bandwagon fans (not that the D'Backs' fans are any better, but they're definitely less annoying). I want the Phillies to absolutely buttsex the Rockies into the next millenium. I care more about the Phillies winning than the D'Backs. That ending tonight was stupid, plus Philadelphia's teams couldn't win a bingo game surrounded by blind people plus I'm bringing serious hate for Colorado, let's do this.

this is so nitty... who cares if people have just recently started rooting for the Rockies to come through?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because bandwagon fans are really [censored] annoying people, usually people who know nothing about the team and then go to playoff games (because they have a lot of money and going to Rockies games is now the trendy thing to do) and say [censored] things like why does that man have to go back to his base after that other man catches the ball.

I hate the kind of front-runners you're talking about. I bet some "real" COL fans exist though. I'm happy for them, amazing last 2 weeks from a team that has given no reason to get exicited for over a decade. They haven't really had any reason to post on 2p2, ever.

Fair point. What exactly were we supposed to get excited about and talk about since 95?

This whole fairweather concept is kinda nonsense. If you had any idea of how terrible the managers and owners did in Colorado.. many fans chose to not support their product until they fixed it. Denver is a die hard sports town, but we demand a good effort from ownership.

Does not compute

Good response. This is a football town. When the Nuggets put a good product on the floor.. games sell out. Same as any other sport besides football. If the ownership is poor and not commited (which there is NO debate that Rockies ownership was not committed) then people don't go. Doesn't seem that strange.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a diehard sports town then. Sounds like a diehard for whatever team is decent town. I don't think it's a football town either - it's a Broncos town, but the Buffs get little to no support unless they are playing Nebraska. Maybe you guys just don't support assclowns from Boulder, which if true is perfectly acceptable.

are u kidding? 99% of the blame falls on hoffman. 1% on black pitching to carroll

[/ QUOTE ]

I said he made 'some' bad decisions. That was just the most obvious one. Why was Hoffman not in the game sooner (I am sure the hindsight 20/20 crew will chirp up)? Why did they keep bunting when getting the lead off man on. I know they were trying to play for one run, but a run is not nearly as valuable in COL as SD. They are on the road and cannot guarantee that one run would even be enough. Giving up the out prevents big innings where you may need more than one run to win.

Black also put Cameron in the game to PR and play CF. I understand that he cannot bat because of his hand being hurt, but can he slide head first into the catcher? Could he have dove for a ball or slammed into the CF wall? AND, even if Cameron was willing to take that risk and did get hurt, it would have been almost guaranteed that he doesn't play in the playoffs.

tuq,

You must be lost. This is a baseball thread.

At the very least, fans who continue to support a team, be it monetarily or not, despite that team making it PAINFULLY obvious that they are more interested in making money than in putting out a quality product or satisfying their fans, are TERRIBLE consumers. If this is something they want to brag about (looking at you, Cubs fans) then fine.

EDIT: Obviously this year is a little different since they spent some money. I'd have used the Brewers as the absolute best example of this but I don't think there actually ARE Brewers fans.

That's simply not true. But if the owners refuse to put a good product on the field, as a collective Denver folks don't give them money. If you understood how bad Rockies management had been until recently you may have a better grasp of this. I'm sorry I'm not gonna go to games if we are bottom of the barrel team and management refuses to try to make us better.. especially when they are making a killing in profits.

Nebraska baseball had these same type of idiots when we were really good a few years ago and were making the College World Series every couple of years (we had a guy named Joba who was pretty good). Drove me nuts.
