1. 10th?

and you're bragging?

[cboy4]

2. The purpose of the thread is to mock the crappy South Florida fans

who refuse to support their team, even though they never think twice about going on and on about world championships.



Certainly, the Giants could be drawing a little better, but filling 83 percent of the stadium on average every game is hardly anything to be ashamed of.

[Capt. America]

3. looks like you should be mocking the A's fans, they have a smaller %.

[cboy4]

4. I would, but there aren't any A's fans here to mock.

The bottom line is Florida is still dead last, and the Marlins wouldn't be as close to Oakland as they are now had they not picked up about 100,000 recently thanks to the fortune of having the Yankees come to town.

[Upton]

5. Do you realize that if Florida finishes last this year

it will be for the fourth consecutive time? Think how disheartening that must be for the Marlins to play before such small crowds.

If the people of South Florida can't do any better than that, perhaps they don't deserve to have a MLB team.

[Capt. America]

6. Do you realize that is Pittsburgh finishes under .500 this year...

..they will have the ALL TIME (beating Philidelphia A's) consecutive losing season record, which believe is 15 years.

Way to go Pittsburgh! Memo to Pittsburghers...stop attending all games and let the management know how you feel.

[cboy4]

8. No, we had no idea the Pirates were on such a devastatingly long

consecutive losing season streak!11!

[inthebrain]

19. Frisco kid doesn't realize that the Small Men draw at 83% capacity

[cboy4]

22. And how embarrassing is it that a team cannot even sell out its first full

season in a brand new stadium that fans should be excited about having?

[inthebrain]

27. Going after the Mets fan base?

Those are some of the most loyal fans you'll ever find in sports.

Not very bright are you, Mr 83%.

[cboy4]

29. Look at all of the empty seats!!

:wow:

[Upton]

20. Lets set the record straight

if the Pirates finish under .500 this year, it will be for the 17th consecutive season, breaking the all time mark of 16 set from 1933-48 by Philadelphia.

[Capt. America]

49. Thank you, I knew it was a lot.

[trumad]

15. Disheartening enough to win two world series since 96.

[Upton]

16. Which serves to highlight the poor attendance figures even more

at least Pittsburgh has somewhat of an excuse, South Florida has none.

[inthebrain]

18. Neither does Frisco drawing 83%

What a joke.

[trumad]

21. Dude--- and what is Frisco's excuse for never winning a world series?

[cboy4]

40. They've won five. Three more than the Marlins.

[inthebrain]

43. five in a 120 years none of em in Frisco.

Loser

[cboy4]

44. No, the World Series didn't start until 1903 I believe.

Exaggerator.

[trumad]

46. You're a lying douchebag

The Frisco franchise has never won shit.

[cboy4]

25. Thank you for proving my point

:rofl:

[inthebrain]

38. PLease, the Midgets draw at 83% WITH LINCECOM ON THE TEAM

The Marlins in the last five years have lost Willis and Beckett. Beckett is a painful lose considering the caliber of player to any team. It's not like they are well run. Even with that still have more rings since 96 than that Midgets.

Imagine waking up tomorrow and the Midgets trade Lincecom?

Yeah, I can imagine the 83% really showing up for that.

[cboy4]

41. Awww, poor Marlin fans

What ever happened to loyalty?

:nopity:

[Jack Rabbit]

7. Gloat free?

Shame on you, Cowboy.

[cboy4]

9. Hey, immitation is the best form of flattery.

Or something

[Forkboy]

10. What were you saying about gloating?

Oh yes, I remember. You said, "I'm a flaming hypocrite who bitches about someone gloating and then turns around and gloats. It has to do with me being an insecure little candy ass who never got hugged as a baby because my mother hated me, my father was missing, and my sister left at 13 to join the circus."

Or something like that.

[inthebrain]

11. Frisco at 83% capacity

Now that's embarassing.

[MrSlayer]

12. If there is anyone to mock here, it's Dodger fans.

Only playing to 77% with the best record in the majors? Sad.

[inthebrain]

13. I would say it's Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumb

Those clowns do nothing but use attendance figures as the lynchpin of their arguements.

Mean while they boast of leading the Wild Card in July (the ultimate argument of a loser) as if it's a big deal and the Small Men can't draw more than 83% capacity to their home games.

[Upton]

14. Oh, we have other numbers besides attendance figures

to bolster our arguments..for example, how about these:

BA

Wright-.324
Pablo-.333

HR

Wright-5:rofl:
Pablo-15

RBI

Wright-44
Pablo-55

Slugging %

Wright-.462
Pablo-.578

[inthebrain]

17. Now you wanna talk about the play on the field?

I<'ve already posted plenty of numbers that establishes Wright is the far superior player. His BBs and SBs pretty much establish him there. As does two Silver Sluggers and two gold gloves.[br />
Wanna know why Pablo didn't make the ASG? He's got a long ways to go before he is a player of Wrights caliber. He's not even close right now. It's not just Mets fans that recognize that fact but fans throughout the game.

Frisco doesn't have any fans.

83%

You can thank your twin for shooting you both in the foot.

[cboy4]

24. Again. Embarrassing, shocking and inexcusable that a team cannot even

sell out a brand new stadium (one with a small capacity, no less), during its inaugural season.

[inthebrain]

26. What were you saying Mr 83 percenter?

You're now going after the Mets fans base?

Stupid.

VERY STUPID!!!!

Some of the most loyal fans in all of sports.

[cboy4]

28. Uh huh .. very loyal.

So loyal, they didn't bother buying up the stadium like Yankees fans. :eyes:

How many cities build new venues and don't sell out at least the first season?

***CRICKETS***

[inthebrain]

32. Yankees aren't seeling out their's either

You were never known for being smart or literate.

Mets still selling at a better clip than Frisoc, Mr 83%. That's largely because the Mets have Fans and the Midget's biggest mistake was moving to Frisco.

Frisco can't draw.

Frisco can't win.

[Upton]

30. We could always go over these numbers

David Wright

2005: HR-27..SO-113

2006: HR-26..SO-113

2007: HR-30..SO-115

2008: HR-33..SO-118

2009: HR-5..SO-87


Wright is heading for a career low in HRs and a career high in strikeouts. The only explanation..he's either on the downside of his career or he was juicing previously, it's probably a combination of both.

Give me Pablo anytime.

[inthebrain]

31. OBP trumps batting average. (Nice change of subject Mr 83%)

Wright OBP% .410

Pansey Panda OBP% .385

Wrights on base percentage is much better than the Pansey. The Pansey plays in a HR hitters park while Wright does not.

Even with the Reduction in power numbers Wright has scored more runs, 56-41, has more walks, 47-24 (Which BTW is really fucked up given that the Pansey is hitting for power, has more hits 106-102.

The Pansey has only 11 more RBIs right now than a guy who hasn't been batting fifth, sixth or third in the lineup.

Wright is still the superior player.

I should also mention Steals, ya know, production on the base paths? Wright 20 Pansey 4.

Wright has respectable numbers in all categories whereas Pansey does in about three.

Way to change the subject from attendance Mr 83%.

You lose this one as well.

LOSER!!!

[Upton]

34. Are you going to address Wright's career low in HRs

and career high in strikeouts or not? It's what he's heading for this year and not by a little bit, by a lot.

[inthebrain]

35. His OBP is better than Sandovals. Keep ignoring that.

Mr 83%.

[Upton]

36. That's what I thought

you refuse to address the issue because it's a loser for you. Another argument I win..though admittedly it wasn't hard when you take into account the superiority of Sandoval's numbers and the inferiority of my opponent.

David Wright, playing a traditional power position, is suffering from a shocking power outage this year. . And your whole argument consists of how many walks and SBs he has..well then, since he has the numbers of a lead off man, why don't the Mets bat the punk in that position?

[inthebrain]

37. That's why you can't get over the higher OBP, SB, BB, R by Wright

Just too painful for you to confront.

I don't care about strike outs when the guy is also drawing walks and has a high OBP%.

THe funny thing about this is that this is a DOWN YEAR for David Wright. Still, Sandoval only leads in about three categories. Even with the better power numbers Wright still has more runs scored.

Wright is also batting third in the lineup. Not a very big RBI spot there.

You might want to educate yourself on the game and how it's played.

[Upton]

39. What I want to know

is what happened to 30 HR 100 RBI David Wright? This year, at his current pace, he is projected to finish with 9 HR and 82 RBI, with a whopping 163 strikeouts.

The Mets are currently 20th in MLB in runs scored, with Beltran and Delgado out, Wright should be picking up the slack and driving in runs..that's what REAL All Stars do.

[inthebrain]

42. Here comes the tin foil hat

Ignore.

Deflect.

Deny.

Here comes the conspiracy. Not that hitting in a lineup so stripped and putting up such numbers make them even more impressive.

[cboy4]

23. It true. Of course the people who don't know what they're talking about

will yell and scream that Dodger Stadium holds 56,000 people.

True.

But that's an advantage in this situation, because the sell outs help boost the overall average and capacity percentage.

The Giants aren't able to get a bunch of 56,000 crowds to jack up their figures.

They're capped out at 41,503 (plus a few hundred more who pay for standing room only).

[inthebrain]

33. And the Midgets sell 83% of capacity

and are outdrawn numbericly by a city with the smallest stadium in the league and a population of less than 500k

THE RED SOX!!!!

Also they are beaten numerically and percentage wise by a team that shares a markey with a team that has won more championships than any other in North American Pro Sports. Not to mention this very same team choked the last two seasons and hasn't had a Cy Young winner or a 20 game winner since 86. This same team has also never had a pitcher throw a no hitter in its entire history (A well known factoid in sports that even the Frisco announcer had no clue about till last week).

THE METS!!!!

Frisco has no fans.

No support.

No winning tradition.

If there is a team that should be moved to another city it's them. Not like that team has never moved before.

Obviously Frisco has no interest in supporting them.

[AllieB]

45. The Red Sox have sold out over 500 consecutive games, correct?

[madinmaryland]

47. Alerting. For pure STUPIDITY. Nice reporting kiddoe!

I thought they taught "real" journalism at UTenn.

:wtf:

[Onceuponalife]

48. Wow, even the Chokers draw better crowds than the Giants.

That is pathetic.
