8/6 vs Yu's Crew (Tex)

[Thunder]

Who wants to bet that this lead will be gone in an hour or less?

Sucker's bet to say no.

[DocHolliday]

Good approach from the offense tonight so far against Darvish.

 

Hopefully the pitching will show up for once.

[Thunder]

Just wait until they bring in Alfredo.

[Brennan]

You can see guys playing with a little more urgency now. It sounds to me like the big wigs are putting the responsibility on the players instead of the manager. Cherington sounds as though there is no blame for anyone. He said that the -500 record is a reflection on him.

It is, isn't it?

[Brennan]

A s*** load of doubles hit in this park in the last few days no?

Yes it is.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Cook has a surprisingly good pickoff.

Tonight, the fans like interfering.

[Brennan]

Sit down Napoli, I'm tired of watching your fat ass get lucky against this team.

By lucky you mean absolutely crush pitchers 400+ feet on a regular basis? Cause that's entirely luck drive

[Station 13]

1st/3rd 1 out. let's see how they f*** this up.

By talking to me you mean you think I care what you have to say?

[Thunder]

Yeah, an RBI double is really f***ing it up.

[Station 13]

No squander. C'mon Carl.

[Brennan]

Darvish doesn't look so impressive to me. At least not tonight.

[jacksonianmarch]

Nice comeback man. Nice. I call you out for being completely inaccurate and you call me out because you....don't....really....have anything useful to add

[jacksonianmarch]

Yu isnt very good, IMO. He dominated us once, which nearly all new pitchers do. But his fastball is flat, he tries to get too cute and his command is spotty. He reminds me of a 2007 DiceK.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Record for most doubles in a game going to be set tonight?

[Brennan]

Yet again, don't care. Move on to the next.

Yeah, before he got even worse.

The funny thing is, I could see DiceK going to the Dodgers in the offseason and pitching phenomenally in that park in that league

[Brennan]

Man Murphy played that wall worse than just about anyone I've seen.

[Bellhorn04]

Darvish has been getting seriously roughed up his last few starts.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Jacko has been here long enough that you should care what he has to say. He may be a Yankees fan, and therefore one of the most detestable human beings on the planet (behind only vegans and whoever cancelled Firefly), but generally his baseball knowledge is insightful and based on logical extrapolation of statistics and observation. Unless, of course, it concerns the Red Sox or Yankees.

 

My point being, don't be a dick to him unless you have to. We all hate everything he stands for and believes in, and hope that one day he will either convert to the Red Sox side of things, or suffer as his fields lay fallow for a dozen generations and his livestock are stricken with plague, but hey, give him a break.

 

Besides, he's right about Napoli. The guy mashes, he's not lucky, he's just powerful.

He could throw no hitters in Oakland, 6 walks and a few would be HR's in Boston would be outs there.

Youk, I understand that you are a moderator, I understand that you don't like me as well and need no reason to ban me but I made a comment, he ragged me for it and I asked him to move on. How did I break the rules there? Do I have to converse with him?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I hope Cook gets a win out of this. Maybe everyone can post positive things for a whole minute and a half after the game.

 

I'm not counting on it, though.

I didn't say you broke any rules. If you had, you would already be gone. I was suggesting that you respond differently. Jacko's post may have been phrased in a slightly condescending manner (and by "may have", I mean "was"), but it also made a point, about how Napoli is not lucky, he's good. You could have rebutted his point while at the same time asking him not to be rude, or ignored him completely, instead you got even ruder than he was.

 

My point is, if everyone responded calmly to real or imagined rudeness, instead of escalating it, 99% of the problems on this board would cease to exist.
