Horrible, isn’t it?

The players need the day off but the fans wander aimlessly around the house, outside and through the internet looking for ways to fill in time as their favorite team sits.

I guess I will type some things.

Fan forums:

There are about 3 of them I frequent as a Cardinals fan. They are each very different and each of them are proud of it.

One is the negative crowd, at least they try to be that way. They try very hard to find fault in all things Cardinal players don’t excel at and they are particularly keen on the management. This forum doesn’t enjoy the season and each game. They will tell you they are realist. A few are downright rude to others if their opinions are different.

Another is the middle of the road. They post the factual items and look at things in a lighter vein. They enjoy the season and each game and analyze them with statistics. A few dig at the players and management. The majority of the time they are bent on the game analysis and for the most part are nice to everybody.

The last one is full of people that post anything and everything. From the most proposterous ideas and opinions and very few intelligent baseball posts. the emphasis here is to rile people up and get them name call back. Almost no good posts are made by 90% of them.

Fan forums: A place where people hide behind a made up name and can say what they want. Where people can be self imposed important. Where they can get their opinions out without any reservations. Bullying is important to some and substance is minimal.
