Whiniest Team in the Postseason Poll

[Tugarpj]

Showboating, bad umping, tweeters, etc. Which team has been the whiniest?

[zonacats8]

Has there been an at-bat in the ALCS that the Sox hitters haven't complained about?

I heard Jim Nance on the radio saying he was talking to some season ticket holders before one of the games in Boston and they said this whole year has been like that. That this whole Boston team has been crying to the umps every game and the fans were starting to get sick of it themselves.

[JohnnysBench]

Where are the Braves? They win hands down....

[lambeauleap87]

Are we talking fans (Tigers) or teams (Cardinals)?

[Tugarpj]

Are we talking fans (Tigers) or teams (Cardinals)?

Teams.....I know Tigs win for most obnoxious fans. We're just desperate is all.:devil:

[SaveMeTheGum]

I'm a Red Sox fan, and I'm tired of the whining. They say the right things after the game, but the complaining during the game is tired.

[RFulch40]

Teams.....I know Tigs win for most obnoxious fans. We're just desperate is all.:devil:

I still think the Cardinals take most obnoxious fans too...

[Davesportscards]

This is CRAP! You should have made the Poll PUBLIC because I want to know who voted Tigers! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
This is ridiculous! The Tigers are the greatest baseball team on the planet!

TIGERS>PLANET

[sigmachi]

I still think the Cardinals take most obnoxious fans too...

absolutely they do. Take it from somebody that lives in the missouri/arkansas bootheel right in the middle of Cardinal country. They are awful to deal with when they win. I've heard and read no less than a dozen people complaining about how one sided the broadcasts were and how nobody respects the Cardinals and how they are always the underdogs or the little guys (despite the 11th highest payroll in MLB) The fans around here are the main reason I hate that team.

Lol. I thought I chose that option actually.

[sigmachi]

Oh and I absolutely hate how the Cardinal fans proclaim themselves the best fans or the most knowledgable fans in baseball...seriously who does that?

they're still trying to convince Prince Fielder that he needs to take some pitches and not swing at anything that is within reach of his bat :)

[SDcardguy24]

I hate Cardinals fans always talking about how classy they are. They remind me of Packers fans.

Teams-I think it goes to the Braves.

[duwal]

honestly almost every teams fanbase

[Tugarpj]

I sure wish he'd listen.:D

[duwal]

I sure wish he'd listen.:D


yeah seeing the box score where he was 0-4 with a strikeout and it only took 9 total pitches to get him out throughout the entire game

[Zoop]

Where are the Braves? They win hands down....

Yeah, I kinda figured this was a slam dunk. Any reason for the omission?

[Zoop]

Oh and I absolutely hate how the Cardinal fans proclaim themselves the best fans or the most knowledgable fans in baseball...seriously who does that?

We don't proclaim ourselves to be the best in baseball. Want to get mad at someone? Get mad at the players for voting us that way (http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=28957099&topic_id=6479266).

*mic drop*

[calculusdork]

Yeah, I kinda figured this was a slam dunk. Any reason for the omission?

Really depends on what we're looking for here. Is standard deviation important? Is "which team has the whiniest player?" the criterion? Because Brian McCann would win that in a landslide. But if it's "which team is whiniest overall?", I really don't think it's the Braves.

I just find it funny that the team a lot of folks would vote for isn't on there, meanwhile the Rays and Pirates--two largely inoffensive teams--are.

I couldn't agree with any of this more except that I feel like I have it worse. I live halfway between St. Louis and Chicago. Every argument goes to "Oh yeah? What time do the Cubs play?" No one said anything about the Cubs! I'm not even a Cubs fan!

They are complaining about the broadcasts, because Mike Shannon only talks about the Cardinals and never mentions the opposing team besides what is on the screen. It blew my mind paying attention to this while watching a Cardinal game.

[Win4Vin]

Cardinals players are a bunch of childish hypocrites. I'm sure this has already been posted here but i'll throw it out there again:

Oh Shannon on the radio is terrible. Though around the 7th inning when he's good and drunk it's pretty funny to listen to him, especially when a close call goes against StL! Hrabosky is pretty intolerable on tv too but nothing quite as bad as shannon.

I've never been around large groups fans of any other big league team for an extended period of time but I can't imagine there is a bigger group of pious fans who pat themselves on the back as much for being 'gritty' 'intelligent' and 'classy' as St Louis fans.

Most of my best friends and family members are Cardinal fans and that makes it even worse. Each year I have to listen for days about how (insert slightly above average Cardinal) got jipped out of the MVP or the Cy or the ROY awards. I have to endure the endless jabs directed at Pujols, the stupid memes they post on facebook, the catchphrases such as 12 in '12 or now 12 in '13 not to mention the lame Cubs comments to noone in particular since there are no cubs fans around. I have to play fantasy baseball with a league full of them where Molina, Beltran, and Wainwright are locks to be gone within 2 rounds. Only in a Cardinal league would a trade of Scott Rolen and Jason Motte be considered a fair return for Evan Longoria and Clayton Kershaw.


Yeah I hate the Cardinals, their whiney fans, their whiney team, their announcers and that turd of a city with its stupid Lumiere casino where I lost $200 one night playing poker.

No, i've only experienced an idiotic fan base. Woe is me when they're losing and as boastful as a WWE wrestling promoter when they're winning.

[nhsportsguy]

I'd have to say the Whining at the Plate Award goes to the Red Sox, but I haven't watched the other teams as intently. As for whining on the mound, I haven't noticed any team doing that too much.

[IamRalpho]

Every team whines about balls and strikes, I actually think this Red Sox team are very accountable and not douchey like other teams COUGH COUGH DODGERS BRAVES MCANN 2011-12 RED SOX COUGH

I dunno who says the fans are getting sick of the Red Sox but that is 10000000000000000000% false, everyone loves this team and there is NO mention of whining. None.

[Tugarpj]

I honestly forgot to put the Braves on here. Sounds like they would be neck and neck with the Cards.

[37Jetson]

I would agree on half of this statement. On Balls and Strikes they have handled themselves within the guidelines of Post Season Arguing. On Check Swings they have been quite a bit more whiny when the video shows they swung all the way through the plate. This has happened a ton in the ALCS.

It was all in jest, but it does hurt when a fellow Arkansan bad mouths my beloved Cards. But I grew up around your area. Went to school at AState.

Ahh I know, I can take a little flak anyway. Lord knows I get it all the time from my Cardinal friends. I graduated from Greene County Tech HS and then graduated from ASU in 05 and again in 08 with my MBA! When were you in school there?

I've been pretty shocked at how blatantly obvious they weren't able to hold up their check swings yet threw essentially a hissy fit about it.

It's one thing when you know you didn't go, but they've had some that weren't really all that close and they just bitch bitch bitch

[JoshHamilton]

Not only do they have the whiniest team, they have the biggest douchebag fan base

Absolutely.

And let's not forget about the pitchers. Jon Lester complain about at least one pitch per at bat.

Haha I'm only half serious but I do honestly have to deal with more Cardinal fans than I care to admit.

In my neck of the woods Molina is the greatest catcher that has ever or will ever live. Bench, Piazza, Fisk and Campanella be damned. A bad word about him will envoke some death stares.

Absolutely false. Boston fans are not sick of this team. Most loved Sox team since 2004. Every team complains about balls and strikes, but to say fans are complaining about the Red Sox? No way. Not once and I live in Boston.

I guess living in Vermont makes you a Yankee fan?

So a national writer's article, who never writes about the Cardinals otherwise, is why everyone hates the Cardinals. Got it. :rolleyes: It's like getting in trouble at school for something a kid you don't even know said about you.

[WCTYSON]

Let's be honest here with this poll. It should be renamed, which division opponent of your favorite team do you dislike? Or it could be named, which opponent in the playoffs is playing your favorite team? Take a look at the list of members that voted for certain teams and it is very telling that most are fans of division rivals. Let's also be honest that not one member here voted for their favorite team as being the winiest. IMO, the only teams that belong on here are the Braves, Tigers and Red Sox. My vote goes to the Red Sox for complaining for decades that they were cursed as apposed to holding their players accountable for their own performance on the field.

[DaBaddestHic]

The question was whiniest team, not whiniest fans, so all of this talk about cardinals (or whatever team) fans is absolutely irrelevant.

I'd vote for the Braves if they were up there, because they're the only team I've actually seen to whine about plays and other things constantly. Maybe Puig a bit too - his sulking in the game on Wednesday was pretty dumb. The Braves' whining was pissing me off as a fan and I'll be glad when McCann is gone and they hopefully start focusing on being better again.

[BGT Masters]

I'm casting a write in vote for the Braves.

[JoshHamilton]

Absolutely.

And let's not forget about the pitchers. Jon Lester complain about at least one pitch per at bat.
