  1. I could tell that you weren't yourself. The Holidays can be tough, and in your line of work there is probably little to uplift you. I was trying to remind you that you had something to look forward to while poking a little fun. Other posters lost their minds over it, and proceeded to clutter the thread. It was between you and me, and I hope you understand that it wasn't a personal attack.
  2. I am glad that the old Example is back in good spirits. You are no fun at all when you are nasty.
  3. The home won't take employed 49 yr olds who still play Softball in an ASA league against players in their 20's. Do you play an organized sport? If not, you'd have a good shot of getting admitted, since you don't have a job.
  4. I took some heat on this forum even from some Red Sox fans. As far as I am concerned, I hope he's the Yankee manager for many years to come.
  5. Manny would be a good fit in SF. Following Bonds, he would not seem to be such a colossal ass.
  6. Fine, Donnie No Rings. Feel free to keep answering your own questions. Just don't do it on this forum. It's a waste of time, and you have not been around here long enough to be afforded that privilege.
  7. Your question was not at all responsive to my suggestion, so there was no need to answer it, Donnie No Rings.
  8. I was done after my original post which I have since edited to remove the offensive reference, so sweet god to you.
  9. I've edited the word socialist from my original post, so it should not be moved and it is appropriate for this thread. The apoplectic reply posts by you and others who seized on the word socialist should be removed. BTW Obama's entire career has followed a socialist path, but apparently you are unfamiliar with his career.
  10. I like that. Very funny.
  11. You mentioned her name first in your post. I've edited it out of my reply post. Why don't you do the same. Is socialist a bad word? Would that be grounds for a libel suit?
  12. Enjoy the rest of the Winter. Like the Yankee fans on this forum in 2008, I predict you will all be scarce on this forum at the end of August. I am confident that your boob of a manager will help this enormously expensive team to underperform. Last year he took away their candy and ice cream. Will he take away cake and cookies this season? How will C.C. (aka Chocolate Cake) Sabbathia feel about that?
  13. Does that have anything to do with your username? Try to stay focused.
  14. I should edit my earlier post for the sake of accuracy. "Donnie-No Rings" would be a more appropriate username.
  15. Wouldn't a better screen name be "Yankee-No Rings"?
  16. I agree with you. Jorge is probably heading for DH. before the Texeira signing, I thought that he might be heading to 1B, which is why I thought the Yankees would pass on Tex. If Jorge can't throw, there will be a logjam at DH and no room at 1B. Also, where will Jeter play when Yankee management finally realizes that he can't play SS? ARod is not going anywhere. I thought Jeter might end up at 1B, before they got Tex.
  17. The original post was not political commentary. I was merely questioning why Example I has been so grumpy lately. Others took political offense to a very innocuous comment. It had nothing to do with Bush, and I never mentioned -----, not even in my reply. You are the first one to do that, and I agree with you that it has not place in a Sox prospects thread, so why don't you go back and edit it out of your post.
  18. Differences? I wanted the team to build it's pitching, rather than go after Teixeira. The FO had different priorities. We were both disappointed that the Red Sox did not get him after making him a priority, so we have no difference there. I will not make excuses for them not getting their man. There could be many reasons why they didn't get him, and there is no one single definitive story even from the parties involved. Posters on a forum are merely guessing. Why should I engage in pointless guessing about why the outcome was the outcome? They set out to get him and they didn't. Their plan failed. If Tex had no intention ever of coming to Boston, because his wife's hair stylist is in NY or some other reason, I still don't let the FO off the hook. If he was unsignable by the Sox, the should have done their due diligence and known that, then they could have gone in a different direction with their resources and maybe signed Burnett or made an early start on some serious trade negotiations. Differences? We both wanted the FO to get their man. ---------------
  19. Haha, I forgot the Obama supporters here view him as a savior. I hate to break it to you chumps, but the country doesn't need saving. We've survived a great depression, World Wars and a Civil War. Second, he is a politician, and no politician can be trusted. I was just poking fun at Example who is probably the most ardent supporter of Obama on this forum. I thought he would be in a better mood considering that he will be President in a couple of weeks. Lastly, what in my statement is offensive. I called the man a socialist icon. Is the term socialist a pejorative term. There are socialist parties in many European governments. Example I is on record as having Socialist beliefs. Should I have used the term liberal icon instead or is that also a pejorative term? He acknowledges that he is not a conservative. What's the deal with you Obama groupies, you will go ballistic at the slightest impugning of the man? Are you kidding? After 8 years of retards running their mouths in the most outrageous ways about Bush, including endless conspiracy theories about him being complicit in 9/11? Get a grip.
  20. Whoa! Come in off the ledge. You seem to be the one who is suicidal. Did anything in my post accuse the FO of being stupid, cheap, etc.? Teixeira was the #1 FO priority and they didn't achieve their objective. You can call it what you want, but not achieving an objective is failure to me.
  21. :rolleyes: I am not surprised that you cannot recognize sarcasm. Based on your earlier posts in another thread, you also think that excitement enhances judgment. Jeesh!
