Part of me would have laughed so hard if Kimbrel had given up a run, and some of you still tried to defend Fredi's managing in the bottom of the 8th.

Then you are no fan of the Braves. Respectfully request you change your name or find a team you can cheer for. Posts like this make me nostalgic for the ignore button over on Scout.
 
I'm guessing when he said he would have laughed, he meant it as to be sarcastic sick and twisted humor by the baseball gods to torture us with a losing streak and possibly extend our losing streak by snatching victory from the jaws of victory, and Kimbrel giving up a run would've made him laugh instead of flipping his desk over...

After the last week of Braves baseball, if Kimbrel had indeed blown the save, I don't know what I would do. I'd probably laugh too like wow this is really painful.

Get over yourself. I wasn't really serious. I'll put my fanhood up against anyone. We're all on the same team here. It was a tongue and cheek comment.

Yes, it would have been more like when people laugh when everything is going wrong and you don't care anymore. Next time I'll clarify.

You haven't realized that when you aren't all sunshine and rainbows with your team immediately your fandom is questioned. It's pretty much the standard here.

It's not not being all sunshine and rainbows; it's the This team is HORRIBLE! hyperbole.

False.
When people incessantly bitch about the team as a whole, or call them "horrible"? Yeah, that's dumb. I have my reservations about the team the same as anyone else, but I'd say I'm hopeful and optimistic on the whole (as anyone who knows anything about baseball should be about this team).

So people who aren't optimistic don't know anything about baseball. Makes too much sense.

There's little logical reason to be pessimistic about this squad, as a whole. We were the youngest team in baseball last year and won 96 games. We've been terrible offensively and are in 1st. So yes, if you're pessimistic, it's just kind of silly and you're a natural whiner.
