July 9, 20188 yr :eek:Just asking. The board should be called Cincinnati Reds baseball talk. Being there is little MLB talk on here.:eek:
July 10, 20188 yr Author Be nice to see those teams posted about on here. Don't get me wrong, the Reds are my 2nd favorite team, but it would be nice to see other fans pump of the volume, when it comes to their teams.
July 11, 20188 yr There's quite a few Cardinal fans here. I think most gave up trying to start threads about them because Reds would ruin them.
July 11, 20188 yr Cubs. Don't post much because I'm not as "into it" as many are. That being said, I always smile when I hear "bandwagon" comments. There are many such waggoneers, of course. The Brewers came up with a neat tweet But our father took us the 100 miles or so to Wrigley Field the first time in 1958. Grew up listening to all of the powerhouse AM baseball stations, but could listen to the Cubs (at least) 77 times a year during the daytime on WGN.

The Brewers are similar to the Reds in its the only insult they can fall back on now that the Cubs have recently won a World Series. It’s basically just being butthurt cause their fans are out numbered at home games when the Cubs are in town. It’s about as unoriginal of an “insult” as you can have.

It’s basically just being butthurt cause their fans are out numbered at home games when the Cubs are in town. It’s about as unoriginal of an “insult” as you can have. Come on now, you may be a diehard Cubs fan, but even you have to admit that the number of people who suddenly became fans two years ago was obscene. Same way in 2004 when the Red Sox won it. People who claimed they were fans couldn't tell you who Ernie Banks or Ted Williams were. I have absolutely no problem "making fun" of those people. They aren't in it for the baseball, they're in it because it's "cool" at the time. As to there being (or not being) threads about other teams, I wish there'd be more of them. One caveat though, as long as it doesn't become a school-yard shouting match of "well OUR team has won more championships than yours" or "OUR team has won a championship more recently than yours". It seems like that's all some people are wanting to flaunt, and that gets old real quick.

It’s just pathetic and shows a lack of creativity from the butthurt fan bases.
July 13, 20188 yr All I have to do is mention Jack Brickhouse, Jody Davis, Dave Kingman and the Sandberg game vs Sutter to know who the true Cubs fans are. I agree with Rocket. How many Golden State Warrior fans did you know in 2008?
