Yogi Berra is the only moral Yankee because he eventually saw the error of his wicked Yankee ways and came to Houston. Short Round is the only good Yankees fan.

"Man I wish more people were into baseball in my city." *Team gets good, more fans start watching and attending games* "gently caress you, bandwagon fans!"

bawfuls posted:such as? -Pederson in Center -Hernandez in Center -Culberson at short, Taylor in Center -Austin Barnes at Center You said it yourself, Granderson is a black hole. Yes I know Hernandez is only for playing against LHP. But when your LH platoon bats suck this bad, there’s no reason to stick so rigidly to matchups. I’ll take a slight chance of a hit from someone with a bad split over a basically 0 chance of a hit from Granderson. Same goes for Utley/Forsythe to a lesser extent. I’m also not saying that giving Joc a start would have won the game last night, but using Granderson as anything but the last man off the bench is completely indefensible at this point.

I have Chelsea/Hell's Kitchen/Village/Washington Heights upbringing and its just really funny to think of people thinking of Manhattan as some kind of homogenized Mad Men/Wall Street whatever. Like the city revolves around Trump Tower or something as opposed to that just being one building lost in a mess of hundreds others that I actually couldn't find if you asked me directions.

I have two simple rules for fandom. 1) If you're going to wear the colors after a win you gotta wear them after a loss. 2) If you quit on the game/series/season you're gonna get clowned when you come back when they come back. Otherwise, what's more fun than having all your friends, family, and coworkers suddenly excited about the thing you're excited by?

Suffered through what? a 90 win season with no playoff berth or something. Also LOL if you don't think/know Manhattan is just a playground for the rich and working class people are slowly but surely being priced out such that there is essentially zero affordable housing left.

What level of bandwagon fans are we talking about here? "Oh my home team is doing well this year, I'm going to root for them"?, "Oh x popular team is in the playoffs, I'm going to root for them"?, "Of the 4 teams remaining, I like x the most so I'll root for them", or going so far as to buy merchandise of the team (regular or even worse postseason gear)? As long as someone isn't hopping from one team to another every year while acting like they've always been a fan, that's a little weird. I wouldn't say immoral though thats a step too far.

Who even cares about one of those "picks the best team each year" fans? Who are they hurting? They just end up standing out like clowns because they don't have any fellow fans around them. Then you have an easily mockable character trait in your friend.

The only time a band wagon fan is annoying is when they're the poo poo talking type who has to rub their teams success and your teams failure in your face despite not knowing half the players names. If your team is out of contention what are you just supposed to stop watching baseball for the year?

Yeah, but that's not a "bandwagon" fan. Its just an rear end in a top hat. Its not like that behavior gets more tolerable if they know every player's number or something.

Intruder posted:Liking the Yankees is exactly the same as liking the Patriots or the Lakers No, Patriots fans desperately want people to like their team and revere them for their accomplishments and think that people who hate their team are just jealous of their success and secretly wished they themselves were Patriots fans. That's nothing like Yankees or Lakers fans, who either revel in their team's illustrious history while accepting the hate it brings them, are arrogant jerks, or are just casual baseball fans bandwagoning the most popular option. The correct comparison you're looking for is the Dallas Cowboys.

Totally done with the Granderson experiment. I know he is a nice guy and everybody loves him but it does not matter right now. There isn't a single poster ITT who could be worse than Granderson has been at the plate. Think on that.

I don't think I saw it posted yet but it looks like the Red Sox have chosen current Astros bench coach, Alex Cora, to be their new manager and are just waiting for the ALCS finish before announcing it.

bawfuls posted:I don’t think there’s an argument for any of those being any better against RHP than Granderson. Certainly not enough to get mad about it. And if you honestly want to play Austin Barnes in CF in the NLCS you’re nuts. At least suggest like Barnes catch Grandal at first and Bellinger in CF. But they aren’t going to do that either because the defensive downgrade is not worth the minor offensive upgrade. That was a joke dude, and also may I point out that Kiké’s Grand Slam was against an RHP??? 😏
