This started with me telling someone how to avoid the Drew obsession, but she won't take no lip from no whippersnapper. Never seen an old hag with this kind of tude on a forum ever.

Dipre' date=' the poll shows that Drew Love is pervasive.[/quote']

 

I believe your sample size has been tainted.

 

You probably used people from Florida to tally the votes.

Only Yankee fans were excluded. Are you threatened by all this Drew Love?

I am threatened by your ability to create a wrongdoer's association in order to forge an innacurate perception on a certain topic. You and the other old-timers are obviously part of a conspiracy. I demand a revision of the votes.

Nowhere near a majority of this board hates Drew.

 

The funny thing is, no one ever ever said that, but why not play along with the old-timer?

Oh puhlease! You were into all sorts of anti-Drew conspiracy theories. You must be kidding... right?

Incorrect.

 

What i literally said (And it's in the gamethread) was that there are several members of the board who dislike Drew.

 

Is that not true?

 

Also, you only supplied people with two options, skewing the results of the poll. Had you supplied a "C" option for people who didn't care either way, the poll would probably look something like this:

 

8 Like

6 Don't care either way

4 Dislike

 

Not to mention that i never literally said "Most of the board dislikes Drew" but "More than one member in the board dislike Drew". Disprove that plz.

Not one poster. I can name several.

 

The RBI argument, the "soft" argument, the massively overpaid argument, the "NO TUFF, NO GRIT, BRING BACK TROT!!!" argument and so forth.

 

Piece of evidence A.

Can you disprove the above?

Can you disprove the above?
First, you did exactly what you accused the Drew Haters of doing-- you fabricated stats in making your argument, so you have lost credibility. And this is the nail in your coffin.

I beg to differ. But your poll shall say the truth. Take into consideration' date=' though, that i never spoke of a majority, but there are certainly a considerable number of people who dislike the guy[/quote']

Disprove the following:

 

Did you or did you not create the poll with the lack of a third option to pad the stats?

 

Not only that, how can you disprove a possible allegiance with the "Watch the gamezzzzz" syndicate to create a false sense of Drew love around this place? Even with that, four posters still professed their hate for Drew.

 

You may be an old-timer, but i'm on to your tactics.

I've already rested. It's being deliberated by the members of TalkSox as the jury.

I'm still expecting some proof denying your allegiance to the "WATCH THE GAMEZZZZ" syndicate.

Drew is what he is. An above average defender who'll hit 20+ homers and reach base close to 40% of the time. As nice as his stats look, he is more of a role player and works well in the sox lineup. For 2 months out of the yr, he carries your club and for the rest of the time, he walks and strikes out, thats about it. Most any team would want him, but he isnt the second coming of Ted Williams like some would have us believe.

[x] Fred Couples --- the J.D. Drew of golf. A bit frail and overpaid perhaps but with such a beautiful, effortless swing.

 

You posted. Sweet!

I don't see the connection. Fred Couples is a fan favorite, does have a bad back, but how are you overpaid in golf when it's up to the golfer to win his/her money in any given tournament?

Did you vote? It was a Red Sox fans-only poll. If you voted, I will push for a temporary ban-- maybe an hour or so.

Will it be a "quiet" ban? :lol:

The connection is that they have the same swing; anything else is gravy.

 

Appearance money, sponsorships and tournament winnings are forms of payment. According to a recent poll, Drew is a fan favorite too with 80% loving him!-p

For the record' date=' there should be a middle option. Of the two current options, I voted for the positive one, but I would have taken the middle ground if there was one.[/quote']

 

Which was exactly why a700 put forth only two options. Smart one, he is.
