    The woo birds

    I don't watch other MLB teams that aren't doing well, (empty stadium), so I don't know. Is this just a Cincinnati thing, or is it happening in other MLB cities with teams that can't put butts in the seats?

    I hope it's not just here.

    supposedly this woo thing started in Pittsburgh and the Reds fans "copied" it from what I remember.

    but this guy here gets the local credit.

    It's so dumb that there's no way you can look cool doing it, which makes it OK in my book. I cringe more when people do involved, choreographed stuff to try and look "fun" and cool. Saying "Woo!" is almost a kind of dada-ist absurdism that loops back around to being artistic and intellectual in it's stupidity.

    I've heard it during Pirates games in Pittsburgh when they were playing teams other than the Reds

    I heard multiple noises at last night's game. It sounded like Barnyard Animal night at GABP.

    Whoever does it should be banned from the stadium, zero tolerance. Unless it’s Ric Flair.
    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    Maybe that's why the stadium is so empty! Too many fans are being banned. That MUST be it!

    Of course, 20k attendance solves the problem, or no?

    As I watched Opening Day at my favorite bar, a raucous cheer by me and twelve to fifteen people erupted after the Peraza home run.
    Two seconds later, the other seventy five people in the bar took notice of the noise, glanced at the tv, and joined in the celebration.

    I love the Reds. They have a great base of passionate fans.
    Most of the sports fans in this town stink. Opening Day is basically Bud Light and Instagram day for most.

    If people care enough to actually make any kind of noise cheering the team on in the stadium, I have a hard time finding a problem with it.
    (Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
    Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

    It's annoying, and the whole point of it is to be annoying.

    Not just a baseball thing - happens in other sports as well. When a fight in the UFC starts to slow down, it's all you hear.
    Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
