What kind of fan are you?

[User Name]

But i don't know what's in it. The one that tastes good may have some horse meat in it, amongst some other underisable ingredients, while the one that doesn't may have only regular ones. Of course, i wouldn;t know because i don't run a hot dog manufacturing business.

 

Also, i should point out they are still different scenarios, and in the end, as much as some people here try to argue otherwise, no one here knows jack s*** about running a baseball team.

That's because you probably don't have a discriminating palate. Most people who have eaten enough hot dogs can tell if the hot dog is beef vs. chicken, if it has too much filler etc. Most people know enough to know why they don't like the hot dog. They don't need to know the finances of the business or their labor issues to know what is f***ed up about the hot dog.

We don't need to know how to run a baseball team. We compare the finished product whether it be a baseball team or a hot dog and we know which organizations make the better product. You don't need to understand or see the sausage making process to know if the product is good or bad. Good organizations make winning baseball teams and good sausage companies make tasty sausage. That's all we need to know. I don't like hot dogs with chicken or too much filler. I know that. I also know that the Red Sox starting pitching has no depth.

That's all true. But judging from what I see on message boards, it's infinitely more entertaining trying to analyze how your baseball team is run than it is trying to analyze how your hot dog company is run. Just start a thread on your favorite hot dog company and see how much action it gets.

Well played.

 

Love the "try to analyze" part too. Let me tell ya, you're one of the best posters of this forum, and one of the few posters who truly calls them like he sees them.

Very true. Sausage making is not an interesting read. All of us here surely prefer baseball to hot dogs. Since baseball interests us so much, we analyze it more than we analyze the hot dog, so we probably are a better judge of baseball than the hot dog business.

This thread is making me hungry...

Me too. I hope my wife makes some sausage with the lasagna tonight.

Hot dogs are made up of lips and *******s just like message boards...

Thanks man, much appreciated.

I agree with User Name? on his appreciation of you.

On the Red Sox website right now one of the headlines is 'Red Sox send Bard to Double A to find consistency'. Now that is some Pollyanna coverage. Many fans are thinking 'to salvage career', or 'to try to stop sucking'.

This has been an incredibly brutal stretch of games. The kind that makes you think maybe the rest of the season might suck.

 

I don't get as emotional about it anymore. Though I'm still totally addicted to the experience of following the team and jibber-jabbering about them.

Bells, you are my kind of fan.

It is times like this that I rue that day I went to Fenway Park in 2000 and got swept into the Red Sox hole. These losses have made me pissed off at my wife, daughter, friends and dogs. It actually eats at me and ruins my f***ing day. I have always been told that converts to any cause tend to me extreme in excess and that is why I haven't posted here in a few days. I fear this is going to be a s***** year and paranoid to think that my friends and family are actually laughing behind my back.

 

And there is one guy on this board who actually believes I may not be a Red Sox fan and he has to be the absolute fool.

[User Name]

Fred, you're absolutely s***ing on the ignore feature again, but otherwise i feel your pain. Even more so knowing that the two Blue Jays fans i know won't shut the f*** up because they won this weekend series.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

You'll get to laugh when they see the Jays are under the Sox in standings.

[Bellhorn04]

Thanks 700.

Fred, you may be somewhat senior to me, but the 30 additional years of fandom have taught me to expect frustration from our Red Sox. Although people think we agree on everything, as Spring Training was ending your fandom was getting the better of your reason. You were upbeat and optimistic about the teams chances. I predicted a 4th place finish (possibly last if things went terribly wrong). The team is in a tailspin right now, but they are doing better than I had expected so it isn't eating me up.

 

Do yourself a favor. Lower your expectations for this team. I think the best we can expect is a competitive team that will still be in the hunt for the second WC when September rolls around.

I totally agree with this.

 

However it would help if "those people" just put Fred on ignore too just in case. It is a 2 way road. But yeah, those posts are doing nothing but asking for trouble.

But preferable to him being angry with his wife, family and dog.

Fred, As King of TalkSox I decree that you must take your dog for an additional walk each dayn that you give it an extra treat and a belly rub after a Sox loss. The poor doggie shouldn't be stressed while you are watching baseball.

[BSN07]

It's been a rough patch lately. But I don't think the team is as bad as this(just like I didn't think they keep up the hot pace the set at the beginning of the season).

 

The BP has been stung recently. Hopefully they are able to get their feet under them.

 

And for f*** sake I'm so sick of tuning into a game and it's against the Jays... This schedule sucks donkey you know what, three series and its half way through May? That's ridiculous.

You don't want the dog to get fat now....

The challenge for the Red Sox is that the MFY's continue to roll despite crippling injuries; the Orioles may be the best balanced team in the division and the Rays will probably not continue to play this poorly.

[a700hitter]

Definitely not. That is why I also ordered the additional walk.

 

[italstallianion]

But an extra treat per sox loss = fat dog. I have enough fat dogs as it is. Too bad being fat doesn't stop them from barking.
