God, I can't stand homers!!

Damn kids outta keep them balls inside their own yard!!

;)

Actually, I'm refering to fans (and you know some, or may even be one yourself) that have no idea about baseball, could care less about other teams, and who come up with the most idiotic things I have ever seen in my life.

I post on the Braves's MLB fan forum, and sometimes I want to shoot myself in the face. Here's just a sample of some interesting posts (copied word for word):

In order for the Rangers to stay in contention they must add pitching and we all know the Braves need power to contend.

Braves send Vazquez/Gonzales/johnson and Francour to Texas.

Rangers return Cruz/Kinsler and CJ Wilson.

Call it a gut feeling. Javier Vazquez will be better than Johan Santana this year.

Wish we could trade for Roberts. Mega deal with the Orioles. Francoeur, KJ and 2 minor leaguers for Roberts and Scott

Juan Rivera, Angels, RF: 30 year old, right handed outfielder with power. Perhaps James Parr plus another pitching prospect (AA level) could entice the Angels.

...and here, the coup de grâce:

half of his losses are not wins, so the braves have to make a move. If KK is that great of a pitcher then lets use him as trade bait and get some power and or speed. The Braves have two great rookies on the 25 man roster stick them in the rotation and lets see what we can get for such a great pitchers such as KK.

Umm... is that kinda like "Half of this game is 90% mental."?

Laker fans take the cake on homerism. I do not talk basketball with them once I heard one fan say Lamar Odom is better than Kevin Garnett.

All I know is that Alberto Callaspo is the best hitting second baseman in the game today.

The A's have the best 3rd baseman ever!




























Jack Hannahan

Rockies have the best pitching staff!

Nothing works better than a big red X

The Rockies starting rotation is EASILY the best in baseball.

How bout this? :)

I used a jpeg image, i dont know exactly how...

the worst part of homerism is the absurd trade offers.

"I think we should trade for Jake Peavy or Adrian Gonzalez. The Padres would ask for Porcello and Perry, but I woudln't go that far. I think something like Galarraga and prospects should be ok"

"We could probably trade some lower level prospects for Adam Dunn, and then ew could get them to take Nate Robertson to make the salaries equal"

actually, I find that to be the funniest part. You can get some real laughs reading trade offers from fans. Most fans of any given team tend to overrate their own guys, even the ones they want to get rid of (in fact, especially the ones they want to get rid of), and/or underrate the other team's guys. It's downright comical sometimes.

i thought this thread was about hating homeruns :)

i hate high scoring games and the obsession with the long ball. chicks dig the long balls in my pants, thats it.
