I can't believe they're actually booing Shane Reynolds.

I can't believe how many times in my life I'm ashamed to be associated with the majority of other Houston fans.

calm down just a little bit. they've done it everywhere else bonds has gone and not been pitched too. And no one says they're true astros fans. they just showed up to see bonds hit a homer, not root for the stros. and when shane went out, he got a nice round of applause.

Well, then it's sad that Houston fans aren't showing up in a freakin' pennant race to cheer the team.

BTW, before anyone says something, I live in Austin, and have still managed to make it to 7 games this year. I'd be at the majority of them if I lived in Houston.

Also, I want Barry to break the record.

The Cards won their game, so it looks like a tie for first after tonight.

DAMMIT!!!!!:mad:

And yes, Rocketman is right. The Astros have the least vocal fans in baseball. Its a joke.

Take out the word "fans" in the title, and it still would apply.

I'm starting to seriously worry if we will even get that one more win to make the playoffs...

Are these the same fans who gave Mark McGwire a standing ovation for hitting a HR which I believe ended up as the game winning run?

How do you think the Astros pitcher felt? The opponent gets cheered at his home ballpark. I'm not saying to boo McGwire, but this is not 1998. Give the home guys some support.

If the "fans" are going to boo their own pitcher in the middle of a playoff fight, then I'd rather them not even go.

The thing that pisses me off the most is "fans" starting the wave when the visitor is batting. Who are these morons?

Awhile back some idiots were doing that against Cin, the rally that inning was the winning rally. Tonight some people were doing it again. Theats when the solo homerun came. It pissed me off so much. Don't people know when to start a wave. Its only been around for 20 years.

Just curious...why is ANYONE watching the fans? Isn't the point to watch the <i>game</i>??? Just wondering.

This is a recurring theme with the major sports teams in Houston.

:rolleyes:

I'm very interested to see how the city supports the football team around their 4th anniversary.

I used to not quite buy into the reputation given to the average Houston sports fan - until the Rockets somehow had the worst attendance in the league last year. WTF?? That means below teams like the Grizzlies and Hawks for God's sake.

I'll tell you this. If I lived closer to Houston, and had the money, there'd be one more season ticket holder regardless.

The last 3 or 4 cities that SF visited have booed their own pitchers. In particular, LA did so and they are in a race directly against SF. I guess all teams have sucky fans.

Didn't we disband the Comets for not winning another title? Or will that be next year?

Which brings me to the point, is Cythia Cooper the only player in major sports history to win every single every year she played?

That's an interesting question. She' s rare in that she only played 4 seasons, but was a star-caliber player. I'll bet there were a few members of the 60s Celtics (bench players) who won every year they played, since that team won 8 in a row.

I'm pretty sure that Dodger fans did not boo when Bonds was walked.

I wouldn't begrudge the Astros' "fans" if we weren't in the middle of a very tight playoff race. Hell, if it was late August, but same situation, I wouldn't even care. But it's the last freakin' week of the season. We need to support the team, not Barry Bonds.

Then you'd be wrong, cuz it happened. Either that, or those people weren't Dodger fans. But since you assumed the booing fans at Enron were Astros fans, I have to assume the booing fans at Dodger stadium were Dodger fans.

OK, well they didn't boo as much as the Astros fans did. Hell, ESPN even had a big deal about the anti-Bonds people there and the organization wasn't even going to stop the game if he broke the record.

So, Dodger fans suck ass as well, just not as much as Astros' fans, especially since they were pretty much eliminated from playoff contention when the Giants where there.

How do you know?! You didn't even know they booed in the first place! :D

San Diego fans booed too, so they suck also. I'd bet just about every city in America -- except maybe St. Louis -- would have a set of fans booing if their pitchers don't challenge Bonds.

Why? Probably because lots of people -- not all Astros fans -- buy tickets to these games to see Bonds hit a HR, and he can't do that if he's pitched around.

Good baseball for Astros fans. Sucky baseball for Bonds fans. It's the Bonds fans that are booing, in every city out there.

Then Astros fans suck for not buying the majority of tickets to games that were scheduled for three weeks ago, a time when we were pretty sure Bonds wasn't going to hit 10 HRs in one series.

I did see highlights, and the booing I heard was scattering, not deafening like last night.

Anyway, you obviously didn't read the part where I said that was different if it wasn't the last week of the season and you're team was in a tight playoff race. The Dodgers, Padres, or just about any other team in America can't say that...and I'll venture to say that most other teams in America, if their team was in our situation, wouldn't boo as much.

Maybe Astros fans did buy them and couldn't go to rescheduled games? Maybe Bonds fans wanting to see HR #70 would pay more for the tickets than an Astros fan going to just another game? You act like this is an Astros fan thing. It happens everywhere.

Ummm, the Dodgers games were a week ago and in the midst of a tight playoff race (at the time). Is the one week that much of a difference?

Or maybe all the Astros fans at the game were like you and weren't going to be disappointed if the Astros lost anyway. :p

<B>and I'll venture to say that most other teams in America, if their team was in our situation, wouldn't boo as much.</B>

I'd venture to say you're totally wrong. :)

Houston fans are pretty lame. If you aint winning Houstonians dont show up, see the Rockets, Astros, Oilers, Cougars, Owls, etc...

Where did the Rockets place in attendance last year?

I dont blame anyone though, the prices to see pro sports are so out of whack they have lead to people losing interest.

Maybe we are just smarter than other cities in demanding that our teams win or we want throw out money at the owner

Outside of Chicago (Cubs, Bulls), what cities do keep selling out when their teams suck?

I went to the game last night and all I heard behind me were "Come on Barry! Go Barry!"

I was like wtf is wrong with these people.

Sadly, a lot in attendance were fareweather morons hoping to catch a glimpse of No. 70.

I've met like 4 hardcore Houston Astro fans in person.

And I only know 3 other hardcore Rockets fans.

What's up?

So the real fans, they rock. The ppl RM95 are talking about suck donkey dung, but they aren't fans. Just pretentious in the closet flaming homosexuals.
