I'm not even (technically) a Bruins fan but that was awesome. Sticking it to Pittsburgh whenever possible.
-
BRUINS WIN!!!!!
-
This game is insane. Still in the second OT.
-
So Seattle and the White Sox both scored 5 runs in the 14th inning after 13 scoreless innings, now entering the 15th tied 5-5.
-
And Phelps gave up the same 4 runs in 1/3 of an inning in his last start. It's crazy how a pitcher can go from a perfect game to getting ransacked (ie Phillip Humber and prob a dozen others) and how so many HOF pitchers are frequently on the result of massive beatings.
-
Reminds me of how Seattle got pillaged in the Erik Bedard deal, or how the Braves got massacred in the Teixeira deal.
-
Kind of reminds me of how the crime rate in the Philippines nearly disappears completely whenever Pacquiao is fighting.
-
The only downside I can think of is the fact that I had the Red Sox offense this week and was looking for "lowest runs scored" for the season and this doesn't help.
-
It looks like we might have to use a decent reliever afterall.
-
We can trade them since we clearly don't need them. j/k
-
18 hits...not a single one from Napoli. (Not complaining I just feel bad for him that he hasn't joined the parade yet) Also with the day off, complete game (rainout) and now Mortensen likely finishing the blowout, our good relievers would have had some good time off.
-
He has 17 triples in his career (counting this one) His last triple was April 11th, 2011 against Tampa Bay.
-
He's one of the few players that has more career walks than strikeouts. Chipper Jones, Todd Helton, Barry Bonds, and Albert Pujols are some others.
-
I guess I still wonder why I still got the bat penis pictures even after I defended Dutchy all of these times.
-
I also think there's a difference between offsite and onsite persona. I feel like our discussions off the boards paint you in a slightly different light than some of the open thread arguments/discussions. It's all about balance really.

While there is truth to that, I think he's been good under this account, and UN has been better since returning. I'm glad I don't have to make those decisions. I'm all for having some posters back if they can prove they've grown up. I mean the difference from my posting style when I started here in 2009 vs. now is immense, I'd probably be permabanned from here too if I didn't change. Some things (like the nasty pictures) there are obviously no excuses for) but I think there is a huge difference between someone at 18 and someone at 25. And the thing about permabans is that they tend to be permanent. That said I miss Pumpsie. I don't really remember anything about him at this point but I liked seeing his avatar and he seemed like a good poster.

This is true, it's definitely not perfect, but it helps. I think if people used the ignore feature, they'd be less likely to see certain posts, and would be less likely to make angry posts in response, and people would be less likely to see those angry posts and respond etc etc. But it's just as much about posters making passive aggressive cheap shots as it is about the ignore feature. I think if you take into account a dozen or so posters adding another dozen or so posters on ignore, things would look a lot different. It obviously won't solve anything (as no forum I've seen has a "complete ignore" system) but I think it's a good start.

Honestly, while a700 and I are on good terms now, there is something to be said about the number of fights one gets into. Hell the one time I got temp banned was for fighting him. We're all guys, we're bound to be jerks every once in a while (I'm obviously guilty here and there). I definitely think he's knowledgeable, and I do not mean any disrespect Ted, but I would not put "a700" and "nicest poster" in the same sentence. I'd have to look over the award threads and see who voted him. That said, a700 does defend a lot of posters as well. He's defended a few that have been ganged up on. I feel like a700 is one of those where you either love him or hate him. No homo. (Thank god I don't have any money or else I'd get fined for that) Edit: How the hell can anyone win the nicest poster award over Y228 anyway?

I think that we know who the majority of the participants are and that we should tell them the specific posters they need to put on their ignore list so they are forced to use it. The ignore list isn't great, but it's a good start. Some people aren't going to get along, and they will probably hold those grudges against one another and bring up the past time after time. At this point it's clearly not going to be resolved so both parties (in each example) need to do their best to ignore one another and move on. The site is obviously big enough for us. But the ignore list has been brought up millions of times and some people claim to use it, but... http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt38/italstallianion/nothinghappened2_zps131110c2.gif

It's either going to be the best NBA Finals I've ever seen, or the worst one I could ever imagine.
-
I really wished the Heat lost since now I think they'll win the title again, which really sucks since they'd be beating the Spurs for it. But that said I'm still happy that the Bruins are up so it's not a total loss of a night.

6/2 @ NY Yankees

It happened earlier this season against us by Bartolo Colon. Although that game he pitched 7 innings and got the CGSO. -

That's the 2nd Sox CG shutout of the season. Woohoo! -
6/2 @ NY Yankees

Is that the same for either side or just as a lefty? I ask because Salty is better as a lefty, in addition to the fact that most lefties tend to prefer the ball low whereas righties tend to prefer the ball higher. -
I have a feeling that this is going to be a really contentious season in the respective gamethreads.
