Apparently the d-baggery was contagious in the stands at Turner Field in Atlanta during Strasmas Monday night, including 42,889 rednecks chanting "Overrated!" as Strasburg exited the game in the seventh inning, to the annoying exploits of the Guy in the White Polo Shirt sitting behind home plate.
Another example can be seen in the video above, where several Braves fans try (and fail) to get the wave started with a Hudson-Strasburg duel going on behind them. The best part of the video is the deadpan commentary from the cameraman, who adds insightful comments like these to flavor the scene:
"Die in a fire."
"Failure."
"Give up now."
And then there's the guy who yells "There's a baseball game happening behind ya'll!" at the morons.
Fantastic.
Want more? How about this guy (and you thought Mr. White Polo Shirt Man was annoying?):
Yes, the Tomahawk Chop was just made even more insufferable by that guy.
Stammen vs. Lowe tonight. Why do we get the feeling that even a no-hitter by Stammen might not be enough to stop the bleeding? *sigh*.




All kidding aside, Atlanta is one of my less favorite places to watch a ball game. I like to keep score but when I do it there people look at me as if I'm encoding the Rosetta Stone all over again.

For a second there, I thought the bottom guy was going to unzip his pants and I nearly had a heart attack!

@mischatter: yeah, it got a little dicey there for a second -- thankfully, cooler heads prevailed.
