Everybody hits, woohoo!

Booo!

Hasn't NBC used this idea for the Olympics?

Rev. Moon will preside over the postgame mass wedding.

At the end of the linked blog post is a link to "Batting Stance Guy" who is immensely talented.

Batting Stance Guy just might be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Everything must be cheered? Even the testicle scratching and penicillin shots?

Indeed.

I cheered your mom for a while, but I draw the line at cheering her testicle scratching and penicillin shots.

Yeah. Mom is complicated, but she keeps a sweet basement.

I know Crashburn Alley is one of us, so we'll take it easy on the personal insults, but come on. This has as much chance of success as the occasionally organized fan walkout, but is even more pointless.

What an awesome display of sarcasm that underscores Rollins's point.

This is (unintentionally?) meta in levels that would make Dave Eggers proud.

"WSBGM" sounds like some sort of alternative lifestyle.

There's a discussion on the Phillies forum Back She Goes about it and most of them don't like the idea, but they completely miss the point: it's all in good nature, and it's simply a way to have fun at the ballpark. There's absolutely no malicious intent behind it.

Yankees fans wear fake mustaches for Jason Giambi -- how is that any less stupid than snarkily cheering every Phillies event?

People who think this idea is stupid or unfunny need to lighten up a bit.

The goal is not "success" in anything. It's just a gimmick. None of us are looking for blog hits (though they are on the fliers), none of us are looking to irk Jimmy (I would put money on Rollins laughing about it), and none of us are looking to make a statement.

Well, when I originally tried to visit the link, the site wouldn't load. Had I gotten there I would have figured it out. But your lead came across more corny than sarcasm-y when I read it. I should have known better.

It wasn't an organized thing, but the opposite happened way back in the day with the San Jose Sharks. The coach, Al Sims (terrible, btw), blamed the fans partially for the team's bad play because they didn't boo enough. Anybody who read the newspaper (which people still did back then) took his advice after that. He didn't last much longer. Fired less than a season into his reign, I believe.

I must say that I agreed with his assessment however. One of the worst things about going to games in San Jose is the crowd cheering wildly when the team almost scores but ##### it up, like a shot on goal is some kind of accomplishment.
