You want to know how I can tell that site is terrible and a joke?

 

 

They have Grady Sizemore as their Guardians "representative" in the banner at the top.

Man. It took forever to get through those 6 gamethread posts

 

Apparently they think we wouldn't have been patient with Masterson's development. Maybe we just viewed him as an expendable piece because we were trying to pry their catcher away from the bleak situation that was Cleveland Guardians baseball.

I actually noticed that. They were the only sports dedicated site I found.

By the way. WTF. Why isn't Bedard with the team right now? Can he not afford a same-day plane ticket? Couldn't Theo cover that?

 

Dude. Southwest. Just make sure you're online exactly 24 hours before your flight leaves so you can get a good seat :thumbsup:

I'm entertained already.

Getting introduced to the awesomeness of the Boston Red Sox can be too much for some people, we're probably easing him into it. Maybe have him watch the World Series films and read some of the biographies. He has to be properly prepared to join our ranks.

Try realcavsfans.com. They have an Guardians section, and we make series threads. I post there as Pyro Kinesis.

Will do, thanks for the heads up. And thanks for proving that not all Tribe fans are blathering idiots, *cough* suns *cough*

They are a funny bunch. Ayala over Aceves' date=' Cano over Pedey, Gardner shits over Ellsbury. They do tend to tend to think that Theo rapes Cash as a GM though, I can't say I disagree.[/quote']

 

Dude, here are the arguments that I've heard over the past year:

 

Cano is better than Pedroia. Ha. Uh. Pedroia .894 OPS vs Cano .845 OPS. Pedroia 6.6 WAR, Cano 3.2 WAR. Yes. Pedroia has been TWICE AS GOOD as Cano.

 

Gardner is better than Ellsbury. Hm. Maybe at striking out to end the game and then throwing a hissy fit and breaking his bat. Gardner OPS - .757, WAR 3.5. Ells OPS - .893, WAR - 5.8

 

Hughes is better than Buchholz. I'm not even going to get into this one. It's hilarious.

 

Oh - And another. Robertson is better than Bard. :lol: I think I've lost 12 pounds since Bard last allowed a run.

[Jasonbay44]

Yeah I have MLB.TV, but next year I think I'm going to go for the MLB Package through Comcast or Direct TV, depending on what I have.

 

BTW RSFFL - I think I'm going to find out this week if I'm moving to Miami. This week or next.

 

I have the MLB package on TV because my computer has freezing issues when I watch videos streams, and the TV package is awesome. Only thing is I wish I could choose if I watch home or away broadcast, I hate for example, yesterday having to listen to White Sox announcers.

I've got the "Faith Rewarded" DVD if he wants to borrow it. Haha.

And they always trot out 2009 to rationalize their beliefs that the brutal rapings being administered to them will come to an end.

[Jasonbay44]

Is it weird that I enjoy lurking other team's forums to read the gamethreads? Especially while we kick their ass.

 

Not at all, I like doing this too, besides Yankees fans I think the funniest gamethreads I saw were the Orioles ones.

[BornToRun]

That's a good one. I have all 11 games from the ALCS/WS in 2004 on DVD. 4 Days in October is awesome too.

Orioles hangout?

[Jasonbay44]

Orioles hangout?

 

That would be the one. Some of the comments regarding the Gregg/Ortiz incident were hilarious. One guy said this would be the momentum the Orioles get their s*** together and begin making a playoff run.

Be warned, there are some... crazy people there.

 

Including one who hoped LaPorta would get into a car accident and die after he left the bases loaded in a game against the Angels.

I think I actually laughed out loud at that one. You see the thread with all the photoshopped Mark Reynolds pics?

I love how you have to mention my name on every sentence.

 

I'm on theclevelandfan and it's a great site. I'm not gonna give away my name

Dude. I need to get those. Where can I find them? My wife wasn't a fan of the Sox until we started dating (yeah, she's a pink hat, I'm just glad she puts up with me watching every game), but I have always wanted to show her the 2004 post season. That's something I would watch every single winter. Hell, that's a Christmas tradition. Get some baseball in the winter.

They must be the Jackson of Orioles fans.

Worst thing I ever did was wish becoming a hobo on Bobby Jenks, which I retracted the next day. He sucks though, don't get me wrong.

It's a huge boxset. I got it for Christmas a couple years back. It was like 100 bucks. It has all the games, the film, plus some other special vids like reactions from fans and the parade IIRC. They made one for 2007 too.

You know what I hate about ESPN? They always try to squeeze in about 5 commercial breaks between the top of the hour and the first pitch, and then when the game starts on time, the announcers always act like "Oh holy s***, they're starting, woah they're not taking their time!".

 

No, the game time is 7:10 dickhead. This isn't the Super Bowl where you advertise the game on the TV Guide channel to start at 7:00 and kickoff isn't until 7:42. Get your s*** together.

ESPN sucks very hard, I actually choose to watch the games on YES instead of there when we play New York.

Carrasco has been suspended 6 games. If he doesn't appeal, he will miss his start on Wednesday.

I'd be surprised if he didn't appeal.
