Do you know him? If so, ask him to step in front of the train next time it rolls by. What an annoying, attention-seeking a-hole.

everyone hates you too but they tolerate it. Why do you hate a guy cheering at games? everyone in the outfield yells the ball 4 thing. maybe you should be a real fan and cheer the tigers on.

I am, and it's not the cheer I have a problem with, or even multiple/all fans in the stadium doing it. It's when 1 guy decides to sit in a 1/4 full stadium like today and bellow not only "Ball 4", but "Ball 1", etc. like today. And it's not just today, it's every game.

I sit too close to the guy I guess, but he just grates on my nerves that's all.

I sit in that section most games, and he seems like an okay guy. Ball 4 on a 3-0 count is tolerable. Ball 4 on 3-1 is not.

I've actually spent way too much time at the game analyzing the intricacies of the Ball4 man.

He says "Ball 4" on a 3-0 count. If the pitcher throws a strike, he STILL says "Ball 4" on the 3-1 pitch. (My only gripe). If it's a walk, he says "Ball 5" on the first pitch to the next batter, and so on until the pitch throws a strike.

Fair enough, but with Georgia's shitty pitching today he had a couple of multi-batter runs in the early innings.

That guy is not half an annoying as the guy that sits down the left field line that screams the two bits cheer with cutesy little sayings at the end.

For example:

Two Bits, Four Bits, Six Bits, a dollar!
All for the Tigers... screamrealloud!

The first time he does it, he gets a few mild laughs. He is seemingly encouraged by this, and continues to do it five or eight more times with different cutesy sayings at the end.

He is sorta like that relative you have that does one funny thing then runs it into the ground.

With all due respect, you could practice what you preach.

I've been reading TD's for a year or so now and just recently joined and you consistently spread negativity in nearly every post. That is evidenced in the start of this post...

Unfortunately, this type of childish name-calling can be found in abundance throughout The Rant.

Let the name calling begin....

This is called a fan. Do you want him to be quiet. He is trying to rattle the opposing pitcher and enjoy himself. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. To hear an LSU fan criticize a vocal fan is absurd.
