Hate them with extreme passion

Has anyone heard the new Sox commercial, welcomming people to get on the bandwagon? f*** that.

I don't like em, but they can help us pay for better players by showing up to games.

I don't like them when they are off the wagon but I love 'em when they are on. Any attendance boosts are good IMO.

hate em, because I like it when the park is almost empty, its easier to get places, easier to get sweet tickets, and the beer line is shorter.

Of course! Less money for the teams betterment, more Cubby fans trying to throw attendance in our face, and less money to get better stuff around the Cell! YES!

Love them, because I can't pay to keep Buehrle around...and enough of them working together could.

 

And no matter what they tell themselves...they know in the back of their mind that they're bandwagoners, and I know in the back of mine that I've sat here and watched collapse after collapse...just waiting for us to be the team at the top, while they haven't.

I got no problem with that. I want starting an argument or anything it was just a real bonehead comment. Your 40 games, although it is 40 more games than me, does not equal 30,000 fans at every game.

yes, this will do the trick. though i think #1 would get most of these idiots. its also known as a cubs test, because about 95% of their fan-base can't name 10 players without saying sammy sosa.

Hell yes! :gosox3: :headbang BTW, for those who want to critiwue me on the few games I go to, I'm 15, have no job, car, or tickets. My 1st game this season will be on the 24th of July vs the BoSox. I start traffic on Monday and will get my liscence/car on August 27th. When I get a real goddamn job, My ass is buying season Tix! :headbang

I don't mind bandwagoners. If we end up winning anything, we all know the real fans get ALOT more satisfaction out of it.

I know all of my friends that are the real fans and all the ones that are bandwagoners.

 

I went through it during the Illini run this year, it sucks dealing with the idiots. But real fans get so much more out of it.

when you can drive to games yourself, things change.

I used to go to 1 or 2 a year when i couldn't drive.

Now average around 15.

 

Having a job helps too :lol:
