5/18 @ Royals - Day Game

[Spudboy]

Game threads are the perfect place for someone to say "if Hanley had swung..." You swooping in to say "yeah, well he didn't" doesn't really add anything to the conversation and actively dismisses the other poster for no other reason but for the fact that you are a Yankees fan. My advice is that the Yankees fans who stick around here tend to be a little less antagonistic and more reasonable in their opinions on the Sox. What's the point in logging into a thread to post "hope you lose" at every opportunity? It doesn't add to the conversation and just kinda makes you look like a dope.

 

Lol.

I didn't log in to say that "I hope you lose".

Getting that from what I did say kinda makes you look like a dope.

You didn't there, but have in the past and basically all your posts are about how you hate the Sox.

I posted that once in a game thread.

 

Please point out my posts where I said anything about hating the Sawx.

I would step in here and remind all of you that Yankees fans have been obnoxious on this site since the day it launched, and we have to deal with it up to a certain point, but I am too distracted by the mental image of a thousand parachuted frogs being dropped from an airplane. How funny would that be?

I don't know you and I suspect that I won't get an opportunity to do so.

 

This board has a very low tolerance of trolls and especially the Yankee variant.

 

We have along standing Yankee fan who can troll now and then and can get away with it because he has made many substantive and insightful posts. Post we value.

 

You, Sir, have done no such thing. You have zero cred here.

 

If you choose to continue to bring nothing to the board of value and just come here to rip on the Sox then don't be surprised when you get the boot.

Oh no!!

 

Zero cred on an anonymous chat site!!

 

How will I ever survive??!!

You're kind of an ******* aren't you? I'd suggest more posts about baseball and less snarky ******** if you want to stick around.

I agree, especially about the "to a certain point." When a poster has brought absolutely nothing that contributes to any discussion and continues to post nonsense like "Allen Craig is the player of the month," it probably reaches that certain point sooner than later.

Yup, right on point.

Lol.

 

Hence what I quoted in post #68.

 

That was an awesome episode of a great show.

Yeah, I figured that but I saw your post after I typed it. I've pretty much made it a ritual every Thanksgiving to pull that episode up on You Tube and watch it.

So now you're a clock?

That was such a great show. There are good shows of other types today, but they really don't make sitcoms like they used to.

Youk, apropos your earlier comment on Yankee fans. On BDC we had two. Jeter02 (incomplete name) was anything but obnoxious and had great insights and sometimes even joined game threads. The other was I think pinstripe and sometimes a pain, but mostly not. I agree obnoxious is worth banning, whether a Yankee fan or not.

[Slasher9]

Well stated. I was never a big gun at BDC. Just someone with opinions and a penchant for arguing, and the latter appears to be the difficulty because sometimes I continue the argument--in Young's case it started on the Referendum on Farrell thread--on another thread, this one, which is probably inappropriate. But I tend to think of game threads as pretty free-wheeling. Remember the injunction about not starting a new thread when a current one will suffice. I also found it irresistible to point out that Young hit a dinger off a righty pitcher after he had been universally condemned--not just by a few--as being unable to hit righties. I did so on a game thread in which Farrell was the manager of record and the guy who inserted Young into the lineup against a righty starter.

 

yup. thats how i read it too Max. although i was one of those anti-young peeps you had a valid point to make in a game where he destroyed a baseball vs a RHP. not sure why you are catching flak for it.

Babe, like Jacko, is a knowledgeable poster who can engage in insightful discussions when he chooses to.

 

@Babe, be good.
