Oh wow, a girl on twitter is upset that people are ragging on her dad for sucking at his job? I guess that settles that debate.

Also you following his daughter on twitter only furthers your reputation as a creepy ass dude.

Nice trial to change the subject. He subject was band wagon fans. She's the one that said it. Not me.

And she's been retweeted by lots of folks genius. You don't have to follow someone to see all their tweets.

It has to suck to have a famous dad and have to hear people crap on him all the time

What evidence is this? Just ran through the attendance rankings and it doesn't seem much different to me.

Astros were better every year from 79-89 (except 83, rangers were 1 spot better)

Rangers were better every year from 90-99

Astros were better every year from 2000-09

Rangers have been better every year after that.

If she was an astros fan still, it would prove she isn't a fair weather fan

Ironic, don't ya think

If you want to dig up the numbers from last year's trash talking thread you can be my guest. I spent more than enough time debunking that stupid ass argument the first time and I really don't care to do it again, especially when the same knuckleheads ignore it and keep riding the same stupid shtick. Or you could just refer to earlier in this thread the multiple articles about the Astros having horrendously low TV ratings a few years ago (including being outdrawn in Houston by out of market WNBA games multiple times) and try to tell me that there aren't a ton of bandwagon-hopping Astros fans right now.

The bottom line is who the **** cares? Nobody posting in a season thread on an A&M forum in April is a fair weather fan and BOTH of our fanbases have grown tremendously as the teams have become two of the best in the AL. That's the way it works and if that affects your enjoyment of the game then the problem is with you and not anyone else.

Is it okay to have an allegiance to both teams since I've worked for both?

Changing the subject? Plenty of Rangers fans, myself included, have posted concrete evidence that Rangers fans have been more loyal to their team than Astros fans over the years but you all you guys have is anecdotal evidence from people with an axe to grind. It's really just a sad obsession at this point.

Oh and I mainly just wanted to post the pitching coach's daughter from twitter ripping Rangers fans. Isn't that what this thread is for? I could give 2 ****s about who's a bandwagonner, honestly. Sounds like you need a visit from Rougy's brother to calm you down a little.

Now that the Rangers are back to sucking which I might add is the norm for them..will they go back to being Astros fans?

Let's the Arlingtonians enjoy their moral attendance victory. Daddy is still leading all of baseball in wins.

Both teams are historically bad but the rangers are historically worse

Doesn't sound like she is complaining about bandwagon fans. She is complaining about fans attacking her dad.

I'm sure that astros fans have never trashed their coaching staff when the team is struggling.

Daddy wins again.

Rangers still in last place alert

Think that's grounds for a big time long term contract.

You're still tied for last place. HTH.

And Mike Fiers pitched a no hitter 2 years ago. Doesn't make him a ****ing Cy-Young candidate. Even a blind squirrel gets an acorn every now and again.

Tied for third. Seattle is in last. HTH.

How's your "better" second baseman doing? Is he batting above .200 yet?

Banged a 2 run homer off the RF foul pole tonight.

Still batting in .190s though.
