The "WAVE"

Let me just start by saying this is not the normal wave you are used to seeing at a nice sandy beach.  No this is the wave of upmost disgust.

Thats right it is the infamous "WAVE".  The fan wave is a highly anticipated event at local sporting events for the mediocre fan.   The creation of the wave is a highly debated topic between the two so-called inventors of this activity.  Bill the Beerman and Krazy George have been arguing for years who is the true creator.  Bill being from Seattle and a beer salesman at the now resting in peace Kingdom and George, who I guess is crazy, a professional cheerleader in Oakland.

Let me first explain that I do not have a problem with the wave. I have a severe problem with the wave.  These two jokers who claim to have invented the wave should both be ashamed of themselves.  All they seem to have done is given a activity to fans to keep themselves busy while at a sporting event that they don't seem to care about.   Like I said my issue is not with the wave it is more of the timing of the wave.  I don't understand why people go to a game not to watch the game.

Your Texas Rangers are currently in first place and in one of the best runs in there short history.  During Sundays game the Rangers locked in 0-0 tie with the rival Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim the fans in the homerun porch started to do the wave.  I understand the wave during games where the outcome is never in doubt.  But here we are in a phenomenal game and some joker dad or youth group leader decides that the 8th inning is a great time to start the wave.  Come on teach your kids about baseball not how to ruin it.

I beg you. No.  Implore you.  Stop the wave.  Well at least stop the wave when the game is still in doubt.  The players don't like it.  The true fans don't like it.  I don't like it.  Let's go to The Ballpark and just cheer on our 1st place Texas Rangers without the wave.

End the Wave in '09.
