    Anyone on planet earth can be a New York Yankee fan.
    Anyone on planet earth can be a Chicago Bulls fan.
    Anyone on planet earth can be a New England Patriots fan.

    It's easy to be a fan of a champion. All you have to do is jump on the bandwagon and ride.

    The true fans are those that stick with their team through thick and thin. True fans go to the game when their team is winless and the stadium is less than half full. True fans support their team when times are lean, so they can celebrate righteously when their team wins.

    A true fan supports their team, win or lose.
    When we support our team when it loses, it makes us stronger, and it helps us celebrate louder when our team wins.

    Buck up Astros fans. The fat lady hasn't sung yet. She hasn't even cleared her throat.

    Thanks man!

    Can I have your Bud Light??

    :D

    Edit: I wouldn't drink the Bud Light, since it's a damn Redbird beer. I would probably pour it on the ground and piss on it!!! :D

    Damn right Tex. We're all dissapointed and a little shell shocked, but it's time to get over that. We have 2 games left to get 1 win. We've got Roy and Roger pitching those 2 games. Time to regroup and cheer our guys into the big dance.

    Just another point when they talk about how we always overcame adversity on the way to winning the World Series.

    That's exactly what a bandwagoner does. So, why MadMax labels me that by misinterpreting my comments in the other thread is a bunch of BS. I've been doing these things since 1976 for the last 29 years since I was 6 years old. Then, MadMax...as he has done all year and as long as I can remember...always has to chime in with an accusatory "bandwagon" label like he is some "holier than thou" fan. "If" the Astros didn't make it to the WS this season, then it would deflate a lot of peoples' sails due to a frustrating ending. And, we likely wouldn't feel as good about next season. That doesn't make one a bandwagoner. The bandwagoners are the ones who jump on board for the ride and depart when things go badly. I have NEVER, EVER done that. I have always been there and here. Yes, I want a f-ing apology from MadMax...biatch.

    Actually, the Astros had a fat lady singing the National Anthem last night. Trouble is, she flubbed the words midway through the song.

    I am not joking. :mad:

    Who threw out the first pitch last night? They'd been using some Astro heros...Nolan Ryan in game 3 and Billy Hatcher in game 4.

    There is a *huge* difference between bandwaggoners and whiners. Some whiners are as relentlessly loyal as any "true fan" (a label which frankly irritates me).

    Today we celebrate you, Mr. American Sports Fan Whiner. You are a far cry from "fair weather" or "here today, gone tomorrow". You come, rain or shine, and whine, whine, whine. You are at every game, complaining on the radio shows, and posting long, bitter diatribes on Internet bulletin boards such as this one. No missed sign, passed trade opportunity, poor substitution, or great performance by some other team will get past you or avoid your witty commentary--on three different forms of media. You single-handedly keep local sports radio call screeners employed. So, crack open an ice cold White Zinfandel Mr. American Sports Fan Whiner, 'cause this cheese is for you.
