Texas Rangers taking a stand against the wave

"There is nothing worse … than being stuck in a section with someone who is relentless in trying to get the wave started, especially if they're sitting in front of you," Holland said. "To me, doing the wave is basically giving the middle finger to the guys on the field. You're telling them you don't care about what's going on and that they are not entertaining you."

Lovely what is next? No heckling? No cheering.

Silly crap next thing you can't stand up and cheer without CSC telling they will remove you if you don't sit down.

Holland is exactly right. Nothing tells the players, "Hey, y'all are boring, so we need to create our own entertainment!" better than the wave.

Look folks, the wave is for kids under 10 or adults with short attention spans. If you're so bored at the baseball game, then you need to go to chuck-e-cheese next time. Let the rest of us watch and appreciate the guys who are playing the game.

I believe this is all a joke

I saw an interview yesterday where a person saying the actual ban was a joke but that they have had complaints from spectators.

It doesn't bother me either way and I've been going to Rangers games for the past 26 years, every year, all season long. Some would call the wave a tradition. It even stayed with the team after they switched to the new stadium.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, that was Chuck Morgan, the world's greatest PA man. I'm a partial season ticket holder and it is the most consistent whip -- not because it exists on it's own, but because of the timing. I agree it is fine in a blowout, but I've seen two games this year where it circles endlessly as the other team puts together a 3 or 4 run rally to come back and win the game.

I can't prove these occurrences are related, but I also can't *not* prove it either.

The 10% of all upper 48% that believe it are shouldering 99% of the belief burden and if current wave trends continue then by the year 2025 our children's grandchildren's neighbors will be too impoverished to even stand, much less raise their arms, unless of course they have a jack-booted chinaman sticking a bayonet in their back.

If you know your ecunawmics and your historee, the facts are quite clear.

I have something you need to read I found on the internet from the well known Bee BEE Cee.

Yeah, timing isn't always great. I completely agree. I can think of a few situations it's the same at NT football games (cheerleaders) but I'm so used to it I guess I don't notice it as much. Plus I usually have my kids with me and they love it. I loved it as a kid. I've become a pushover as a parent. LOL

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      Even the "Brand" programs are losing players to the portal. Maybe Ross can sign this guy for us? I heard he likes to play slow offense and lots of defense. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40025291/seton-hall-star-kadary-richmond-enters-transfer-portal "Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond entered the transfer portal Thursday afternoon, potentially becoming the best player available in the portal. Richmond had long been rumored to be considering a transfer, with Big East and area rival St. John's a potential landing spot for the Brooklyn native."

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      You guys are all delusional. I have a hard time believing that the cut-off will be 30ish teams. Its obvious that's where it is in reality, and dollars (revenue, budgets, etc). But too many of these schools have enough delusional donors who are willing to keep throwing money at it. Why does NIL make that change? I think most of you don't actually talk to any of these big money guys. They aren't jumping out....they are jumping in. And always have. Now it's legal to pay players to win...so anyone with a conscious before when it was illegal doesn't have that hanging over them now. See SMU, Baylor, etc. We're all a bunch of poor schmo's here. Look at the scroll that runs across this very site. That ain't big money scrolling through here. True some of the big donors post on here, but not the Ryans or the 4 billionaire types that fund dirty schmoo.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      Its in Queens, not Manhattan! I briefly looked at SJU when looking for grad schools, its a very unique university, its not for every student and that includes athletes. I dont know if they have the easiest time recruiting, sure its NYC, but there are plenty of quality programs near NYC. They do have Pitino, but how long is he sticking around?
