Fair Weather Fans?

Is that what we're called?  People who haven't been to a Brewers game or cared about watching highlights until now-Now that they're winning?  I have to admit, I'm not a big baseball fan, though my dad used to take me to Cincinnati Reds games growing up.  I loved going to the games but as an adult, I don't really watch or care about what's happening.

But now that the Brewers are winning and games are selling out, I have to admit, I've caught a bit of the fever.  I find myself watching Sports and waiting for that final score update.  Does that make us bad fans, or does it even matter as long as they're winning?

That's the way it always goes, my dear.
Everyone's a fan when they are winning.
The stores sell more merchandise, the days seem more exciting and you know the players names.
That's how it goes in sports.
Or anything else I guess.
If you do well, you get noticed.

It's just nice to have a winning team again.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

I'm like you in the fact that it feels like I'm jumping on the bandwagon. The reason I go to baseball games is for the hot dogs, not the innings. But oh well. If they're the team to take it all the way and make Milwaukee proud, GO BREWERS!!

I usually try to make a couple Brewers games every year, win or lose. I like going to Miller Park and I like watching baseball live, rather than on TV. I actually was disappointed in the hot dogs when I was there last time. Usually we eat before we leave, or we tailgate. But Brewer games are fun even when they are not having a good season.

You are only a fair weather fan if you only support the team when they are winning. You can become a fan at any time. Welcome!!

I moved to Milwaukee over 9 years ago and was a Pittsburgh Pirates fan for a long time. After going to my first Brewer's game at county stadium, I became a fan of both teams. I can honestly say that for the past 5 years I have been a loyal Brewer's fan win or lose. The team looks great so far this year and I hope they can keep it up!! How exciting for Milwaukee!!!

I hate the phrase's people use about us "homer" fans when it comes to any of the Wisconsin teams. Weather it's "fair whether fan" or we are just "jumpin on the band wagon". I like others, enjoy watching my home teams when they are playing well. I don't think that makes me any less of a fan, some of us have to make extra time to come out to games so we only do it when it's worth going to watch. GOOOOO Brewers!!!! P.S. Where are all the so called hardcore fans when the cubs come to town????? When I went to the games I was surrounded by cubs fans everywhere I went and brewers fans were few and far between!!
