Tonight was the first time I've seen them in action other than via TV. Let me begin by saying that the J-Block of today may not be the J-Block of yesteryear, which got a lot of positive press and was wide heralded as a group of really cool people who came out to support James Blake whenever possible.

But the group I saw tonight on Ashe was as classless, disgusting group of people, as fans go. They were loud (which is totally fine), but they were also rude to Mardy Fish... They never clapped his winners--NOT ONCE. They cheared his double faults and errors... They even earned chastisement from the chair umpire for their behavior, which in turn garnered widespread praise from the crowd.

I'll tell you this much... These bozos do not in any way reflect the James Blake I've come to know... A player who applauds his opponents winners, who advocates for sportsmanship, and who has gone out of his way to demonstrate class at nearly every turn.

By the end of the match, I was hoping James would lose... Just because of the classless behavior of the J-Block blockheads. I hope I never see them again. Not one of them would know class if it bit them in the ass.
I've heard that before. I forget who else couldn't stand them. Was it last year's USO? Or someone who attended New Haven last year?

I thought Ullrich was terrific. Something about their enthusiasm being awesome, but please respect the players.
