Franklin concluded: "They're supposed to be the best fans in baseball. Yeah, right."

[tfarks]

It's okay Ryan, someone has to tell them.

[shnsajax]

I hope Pujols is upset with the treatment of Franklin.

[SouthSideRyan]

We wouldn't boo you Albert.

[Soul]

It's okay Ryan, someone has to tell them.

 

Yeah, then he had to go and apologize.

 

Don't do that. You were right the first time!

He still has to play there. That realization is probably what prompted the apology.

[NonProfitCow]

He still has to play there. That realization is probably what prompted the apology.

Or maybe he realized how terrible he actually has been.

The fans believe it too. Of course, I'd be delusional too if I had this as a local delicacy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooey_butter_cake.

The Cards fans believe it as much as Cubs fans believe in curses and the "only the Cubs" crap.

so, a lot then. i suspect cubs fans are dumber than you think.

That bad??

[Guest]

Yeah, everyone else's dumb fans believe the lovable losers and curse nonsense too. The difference is that Cardinals fans are the only ones deluded into believing the BFIB gambit.

What team does have the best fans in baseball?

 

If we know STL isn't the right answer, then what is?

 

Not defending, just asking.

[TruffleShuffle]

the marlins

No team can claim to have the best fans. Every team has its share of intelligent, respectable fans as well as its share of obnoxious moron fans.

[Tryptamine]

I know I'm biased, but wouldn't the Cubs fans have to be the best? Hell we all root for a team that hasn't won in over a hundred years, but we're still here every day. If that's not dedication what is?

minnesota fans don't seem to annoy me, but i could imagine they are the types that believe in small ball and hustling and all that nonsense

Yes, and the teams with the most fans, it stands to reason, have the most jackassical fans as well, which is why so many of the most popular sports teams in this country have the most-loathed fans.

[daske17]

To be fair, people in New York are just really annoying regardless.

I would also enjoy my players having the ability to bunt rather than not.

Gooey Butter Cake is amazing!

 

Also, I talked with a co-worker about Franklin calling out the "Best Fans in Baseball". His response was basically this: "Yeah, we are the best fans in baseball, because we know when someone is playing like crap and we call them out on it."

 

I'm not sure how that's different than ANY other fanbase???

[soapy]

I think Franklin got back at LaRussa by farting in his pillow: Now, Tony LaRussa Is Ugly On the Outside, Too

Sweet Christmas. He looks almost as bad as Al Davis.

Good grief.
