I’m not talking about most aggravating or most delusional I’m just talking about the most sidewalk fans that are there for the good times but not for the bad times.
I don’t know if they are the worst but Astros fans are near the top of the list. I remember not too long going to Minute Maid when the cardinals came to town and Cardinals fans tripled Stros fans.

The Astros or Cubs because of the LSU type whining they do.

Who cares. Why would people pay for tickets, especially at the prices teams charge now, to go watch a bad team. You mention the Astros, and a few years ago they were doing the baseball version of tanking yet it was still nearly $30 just to get in the door.

Geez, I'm an Astros fan and an LSU fan. Does that make me a terrible person?

Astros fans post world series. Suddenly they are everywhere and the amount of whining that is done is unreal.

Astros fans weren’t showing up when the team was losing 110 games with a $30-million payroll. Five years later they win the World Series with the best young team in baseball.

Did you not realize the dramatic change in fortune for the franchise or did you just start following baseball?

That is not an excuse the Chicago Bulls were essentially doing that this past basketball season and led the NBA in attendance.

Well, we can't all be big-city types like you Bay Rats.

I grew up an Astros fan and went to a school where just about every kid who followed baseball was a Braves fan and I was the only Astros fan. The Braves were better than the Astros and I had to deal with that. So I'm not feeling too bad that there are more Astros fans around now.

They weren’t showing up because they were making the drive up i45 because they were Rangers fans then

Sure it is. I live in Dallas, as an example, and I'm not fighting traffic to get out to Arlington to pay $30 to watch a bad team, it's just not worth it.

Uhh, no. Astros fans didn’t show up when they were setting MLB records for most losses in a season, but they never were Rangers fans, moron.

So why did the giants who went 64-98 last year have the highest percentage of seats filled per game last year?

The Cleveland Indians averaged under 20,000 fans per game in 2016 until the playoffs, then the games were all sold out.
