Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 04:11 PM by charlie and algernon
not just here, but everywhere. Facebook was suddenly swarmed by yankees fans, people who I had no idea even LIKED sports are suddenly die hard yankees fans. DU has bascially been controlled by Red Sox, Cubs, Marlins, Giants, and Pirates fans. Suddenly yankee fans are EVERYWHERE. Funny how their fan ranks swell when they do good... :eyes:

1. Controlled by Pirates fans?
That would be a grand total of one, who happens to post alot!!

And I like how they blame the victim, when it is rightly pointed out to them that they bought the World $eries.

3. haha, "controlled" as in those fans that post the most often about their teams
and yes, for bandwagoners, they sure have some thin skin. Of course, that's probably WHY they have the thin skin. You can bash my Marlins all you want, I've rooted for them since 1994 and I'll STILL root for them when I'm old and gray. The bandwagoners are VERY insecure about their fandom and so must go overboard in their defense of the team to prove how big a fan they truly are.

7. I know what you mean.
I've been a Pirate fan since the late 60's. Lots of ups and many more downs!

Oh well.

2. As I said to a long time Yankee fan here....
Its really easy to be a Yankee fan. Takes a lot more loyalty and hard headedness to be a Nats fan...:P

4. LOL, very true

look at the Marlins, the firesales of 1997 and 2004-5 killed off the bandwagoners, leaving the true fans remaining.

9. I'm a Marlin fan who thinks that non-Yankee fans are the biggest whiners
on the net.

Today, the grass is green, the sky is blue and the GOP is still self-destructing. The cosmos is again in order.
