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.
Wow. And I wasn't even with them to shout my encouragement.

From what I know of them, it's not the same crowd as the original J-Block.
