...on the other hand, the Pirates are doing well, which means that my uncles and father are happy. They all stopped watching baseball in 94 after the combination of the strike (cementing their growing belief that players are spoiled, I guess) and the Pirates sucking. They are all following the race with one eye but no one wants to be the one to get all-into it again for fear of being labelled a bandwagoner. We still go to games when we visit the family in Butler but no one really has cared for quite a while. It sucks though, because three teams that have not done well for way too long are doing very well this season, and two of them are pissing me off because they are doing it after fans who were close to me have died: My grandfather for the Pirates and Ami for the Orioles. I am hoping for the Pirates to go far this season, as the Sox are likely out of it and with my Pittsburgh roots there is no other team capable of winning the WS that I would willingly cheer for. But given the fact that they are in the AL East, I cannot bring myself to support the Orioles. Somehow, I think she'd understand that.

The Orioles have a better chance of making the postseason than the Red Sox. In August. If Ami were here, I would never hear the end of this. f*** the Orioles for waiting so long to play decently.

Yeah

It sucks that I have to ban you, because the username is awesome. :dunno:

Man, that's harsh. He must have missed out on scoring like, four goals.

I am. Also, I've noticed that the Yankees fans were also transferred to the new server. Is anything being done to correct this glitch?

Goddamnit.

Okay, this is infuriating. I had a perfectly crafted reply, and when I try to post it, it tells me I can't post in this thread. I thought it was the length...nope, though I can make other posts. I thought it was that I couldn't paste the comment into the box...nope. Retyped it. I can post this, and almost anything else, apparently, but I try to post my insult and I get an error. f***.

Okay, weird.

Okay, so I can post, but just not a long post?

Test

The official scorekeeper is only allowed a dulled golf pencil, and he f***ed Ben Cherington's wife.

I would say something about how stupid you are, or maybe go the obvious route and insult the Yankees, but I'm afraid if I say anything unkind toward you, your mother might bite down in anger and castrate me. Not only would it ruin my plans to ejaculate directly in her eye, the resulting mess might kill the mood for the next thirty or forty guys.

Is it just me, or is the name "Nick Swisher" a douchey name to begin with? This isn't Yankee-hater bias, either, I thought the same thing when he was with Oakland. I feel like Nick Swisher just sounds like a guy you want to punch in the face with a knife.

...and suddenly, the lump of feces floated out of the murky depths of the punchbowl.

Every baseball season, on every team, two or three times a year a player forgets the count, or forgets how many outs there are. We usually laugh it off or don't even notice. You're blowing a stupid, normal occurrence way out of proportion because of the way the season is going. These guys play 162 games a season. In 162 days at any job, you make stupid inconsequential mistakes on occasion. Let it go.

Yes, because all of last season and the previous seasons with San Diego are overshadowed by half a season of slumping.
