One of my best friends was a Phillies fan.  I still remember how happy he was in 2008, and how envious I was.  He died in 2011 at age 39 from glioblastoma (fuck cancer).  His wife gave me one of his P

He was checked every fucking inning.  It was nothing, and you are an idiot since you are citing "Baseball Social Media."  Had it have been a real thing, MLB would have told everyone.  He used i

So if 4 of us fuck your mother, is she still fucked, or does it only count if it's 1 of us the whole time?

Absolutely.  Definitely need to replace Wrigley Field and Fenway with domes.

Funny, but irrelevant. I believe the discussion was about new stadiums that have been built, not replacing century old ones. 

You don’t need a roof in Southern California. And I don’t think anyone would advocate replacing Wrigley or Fenway or even any existing completely ordinary stadium for that matter. But there’s no good reason for any baseball stadium built in this century to not have at least a retractable roof in any part of the country where weather is a regular factor. It’s not football where you can just play on in inclement weather.

As already commented, the Yankees spent 2.3 billion on their new stadium that opened in 2009.  They absolutely could have put a fucking roof on it.  

And it would have cost more.  Guess they didn't think it was worth it.

They force taxpayers to foot the bill for them anyway, what’s a few hundred million more?

Yep. Sports welfare. We do the same here with COTA. $300M so far. $200M more in the pipeline. Big difference is that with COTA, the State of Texas has no ownership stake in COTA, unlike Yankee Stadium.

 

Oh, and fuck Larry Bowa.

I’m seriously not trolling when I say 80% of them didn’t follow baseball before 2015. They’ve already fired up the “it should be 2-2-1-1-1” format excuse. Every baseball fan knows why that’s monumentally stupid. But they don’t, because they don’t know the sport.

you honestly think 80% of Astros fans on this board became fans in 2015, I seriously hope you aren't that stupid.

80-85% of your current total fanbase easily. Obviously anyone posting online about a team is a little more diehard so on this board it’s definitely safe to say 50-60% of you are recent bandwagoners. 
 

Edit for holy shit Altuve sucks this postseason.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Most Astros fans are H-Town to the bone and life long fans.

I'm not saying it's 80% either but y'all have a very healthy amount of bandwagon fans. Especially outside Houston.
