June 7th @ Oakland - Curt's Near No-No

[ORS]

That's right, I didn't follow the thread title format. You know why? Because the s*** ends tonight. A Sox loss combined with a Yankee win is like a rain storm because the worms come out. You can see it with the return of Gom and others of his ilk.

 

So, it's time to stop the rain.

 

Long as I remember the rain been comin down.

Clouds of mystry pourin confusion on the ground.

Good men through the ages, tryin to find the sun;

And I wonder, still I wonder, wholl stop the rain?

 

I went down virginia, seekin shelter from the storm.

Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.

Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.

And I wonder, still I wonder wholl stop the rain?

 

Heard the singers playin, how we cheered for more.

The crowd had rushed together, tryin to keep warm.

Still the rain kept pourin, fallin on my ears.

And I wonder, still I wonder wholl stop the rain?

 

Curt will stop the rain, that's who. Today, we go to the old war horse. Old blood and guts (and bloody socks). This is a big game, and while Beckett may be the ace of the staff, Curt is still the big game pitcher. Today he shows it again.

just win.....please!

Considering I said I was going away and I didn't get to enjoy our series win over you, yeah, it brings me out of the wood work. Once again, intelligence and ORS are foreign to each other. I hope you guys lose again, just for that comment. I am using my anti-Sox mojo just because of you ORS. If you guys lose, especially a close one, it was you incurred the wrath for your team and caused your inglorious defeat.

Same story every time, Gom. Same story. When they lose you're tougher to find than a straight chick at the Lilith Fair. "I was out of town", "I was going out", "The dog ate my computer". Not buying. And, if you were going, then why are you here? Words betrayed by actions once again. You are what you are, worm-boy, and everyone can see it.

So if we start ripping wins again and put it back to 14games or so, will you go away again?

 

Once again, intelligence and ORS are foreign to each other.

 

All i can take from this is either:

 

A-You are brand new to the site

 

B-Rational thought escapes you

 

C-Your hatred for everything redsox overwhelms your normal brain functions

 

I hope you guys lose again, just for that comment. I am using my anti-Sox mojo just because of you ORS. If you guys lose, especially a close one, it was you incurred the wrath for your team and caused your inglorious defeat.

 

As good as it's been lately, you're still 10.5 games back:lol:

[riverside sluggers]

He just f***ing went out of his mind last night on the umpire...and now he wants to rest players? Let them play...there's a reason you went out of your mind last night. That was to get this team off their asses and playing like they're supposed to. And now he wants to rest them? Huh?

Please stop. The sucking up is killing me. It's only going to make your red mark redder.

[schillingouttheks]

I wonder if Schilling is a Silent Killer Gas Passer? Mr. Really Really Really Bad Dancer didn't help us tonight, but let's hope this guy can...

You forget. Schilling doesn't do anything silently. He probably calls up EEI everytime he breaks wind.

No, no one else is saying that. You said it yourself: "I'm giving rep points trying to regain my reputation." That's sucking up Adam. You get good rep by being a contributing member who posts legibly (and given a keyboard, I'm surprised that you still can't do that). You state the obvious in every one of your posts. You don't have thoughts that you come up with on your own. All of your posts are 3 sentences at max.

exactly. for example adam, if you posted saying "this losing streak sucks, a win tonight would be nice", that would pretty much be par for the course with you

Ok I just try to keep it short so know one rips on me . I will try to make my posts a little longer.

Only do it if you have something interesting to say. I don't wanna read something that says:

So than your telling me I am the worst poster on here. So no one else on here has had a bad post ever . I am the only one with negative points thats ******** . I have done nothing but be nice giving people good reps when they have good topic's .

[Fried Neckbones]

It's not so much Schill that bother me today - it's the sorry state of the offense. 2 runs in the past 2 games. That's just sad. It shouldn't be a matter of guys being tired, either. They just had an off day on the 31st, and another one a week before that. Yes, there was a tough homestand against the Yanks and then a flight to the West coast, but come on. Schill will give his all and step up (as much as he is able - that game against Cleveland not withstanding I'm still not totally convinced he can bring it like he used to), but the O needs to start hitting again to get this crap turned around.

Oh. My. God. You are so beyond repair. FOLLOW ME. You get negative points because you do NOT contribute. You make a fool out of yourself. Every single one of your posts is bad. Other people have bad posts, but they have 100 times as many good posts as bad posts. You have JUST bad posts. I don't know how to tell you how to do better, but whatever you're doing now is obviously not working. You've been nice giving people good rep because you hope you'll get it in return. You will NOT GET GOOD REP IN RETURN FOR DOING THAT. You will be taken more seriously if you CONTRIBUTE. All you do is state a fact. As in, JD Drew has to start hitting. You really believe that's worthy of praise/respect? That's a terrible post. We all know he has to start hitting. You have to read every single post in a thread, and continue the discussion with unique and informative thoughts. You do neither.

It's frustrating, but all of the Yankee games went on for a long time. They landed in California at 6am pacific time and had a game 13 hours later that went 12 innings. They're tired, and understandably so. They're also in a terrible, terrible slump. Tonight SHOULD be the night that they break out of it, so hopefully we'll see it. I'm not worried about much yet considering that our lead in the division allows for a slump, which all teams go through.

 

Besides, I'm looking for Schilling to come up huge tonight. He's had enough and I think he's going to give us a great outing to stop this skid and let us go into interleague play on a positive note, where we should rape the NL teams and get back on track.

[ORS]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone knows who rep points came from. From what I can tell when I've looked at it, it doesn't tell you who gave you what rep in the User CP. So, my advice to you, adam, is give good or bad rep as the post warrants, not to build bridges because nobody knows it came from you.
