Dirty Water is a fucking awesome song with an amazing keyboard hook and at least 25% of my hatred for the Red Sox is based on them ruining it for me.

For me it's 60% ruining Neil Diamond

They ruined Sweet Caroline but the rest of his catalog is still good.

The Standells weren’t exactly prodigious.

K-oS

Has got to be one of the most underrated artists out there, this is exactly what I thought of too

Why can't the 35,000 Mariners fans make more noise than the 10,000 Red Sox fans.

I don’t know if this was mentioned in the game threads, but it really bothers me. Is it because our team has sucked for a bunch of years now or is it just the Seattle fan?

by Rudy4three on May 17, 2009 4:34 PM PDT reply actions

Seattle fans as a whole are low-key.

I got tickets in section 120 or 130 something last year way after the Mariners were out of it. The game was against the Marlins, so mostly all of the people there were rooting for the Mariners. So the guy I went with was pretty vocal. He kept yelling and screaming, “Let’s go Mariners”, etc. People were looking at him, telling him to “shut up” and “fuck off” and gave him the finger. I mean, it was slightly embarrassing to sit next to this guy, but I didn’t understand why people didn’t show more energy for their team.

I've been told to sit down before.

I get the low-key attitude when there isn’t a lot going on, but you have to stand up during big moments. If there’s a runner on second with two outs, your team is down by one run and your best hitter is at the plate, you should be on your feet and cheering.

To be fair.

The guy I was with, I am not friends with him anymore, kept on yacking away at every at bat, even I was getting annoyed. Still, strangers should be telling someone to fuck off because they are showing excitement.

by Fin on May 17, 2009 4:45 PM PDT up reply actions

There is a time to cheer relentlessly, and a time to just sit and enjoy the game.

I don't know

But it blows. Fucking Sox fans, most probably have never even been to Boston.

And airports don't count.

by Fin on May 17, 2009 4:36 PM PDT up reply actions

So if you've never been to a city you can't be a fan of it's teams?

I’m glad I finally was able to visit Seattle last year so my fandom can now be validated..

if (team != Boston Red Sox)
{ times needed to visit to team’s city to prove true fandom= 0;

Not this again.

The fact that they haven't been to Boston is irrelevant.

Every single Red Sox fan is a bandwagoner and I am a better fan than every single one of them

Agreed

by coolconman on May 17, 2009 6:03 PM PDT up reply actions

Because it's gotta be more like a 50-50 split

I was sat in Elliott Bay Book Company watching the jerseys/hats go by before the game, and they were about 8:1 in favour of Boston

by Graham MacAree on May 17, 2009 5:00 PM PDT up reply actions

I noticed this too

walking around the waterfront area and through Pioneer square, it was a Red Sox infestation. At the game, it was about 3:2 in favor of the Mariners where I was sitting in the LF bleachers, but down below me by the foul pole, there was almost solid red and white, and they would not shut up. Whenever the Sox would score, I would just think to myself, amidst all the noise, “so much for home field advantage”.

I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.

Apparently Wak is not happy with the imbalance.

That was the estimate at work today for me too. Quite literally.

And the Mariners jersey was a replica Griffey. God damn it.

The Kingdome used be nuts. The Seahawks place is like the loudest stadium around.

Key Arena or whatever that place used to be called was very loud.

I think it may have something to do with the total mediocrity of the franchise right now. I thought in 2001 the place was always loud

by Rudy4three on May 17, 2009 5:41 PM PDT up reply actions

I wonder how much the openness of Safeco vs. the closedness of the Kingdome affected noise levels.

Maybe we need something like a noise+ statistic.

by Decatur on May 17, 2009 5:58 PM PDT up reply actions

At least Safeco doesn't pump in noise like Qwest does

I fucking hate it when I end up with a seat next to the speaker

I shouldn’t have to rape my vocal chords to have a conversation to the person next to me.

GOD SHUT UP

I just rather the noise came from the crowd

Then having to talk over a bunch of commercials played at maximum volume between innings

by Poochie on May 18, 2009 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions

It also seems unfair given that one of the crucial parts of football is being able to hear your teammates so as to be properly coordinated with them

Why is Seattle allowed to use this unfair advantage?

by Graham MacAree on May 18, 2009 2:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Hi Graham

It appears that you just made one of you rare mistakes with that statement. The NFL has monitored the situation at Qwest Field on multiple occasions and found nothing to be out of order. The league has not been hesitant in the past to drop the hammer on teams in the past, with the Redskins being fined 20,000 dollars back during the 2000 season. Please check your facts again before making such incendiary statements on this subject.
