WOO DIVISION CHAMPS HERE WE COME

I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'

Need to go 6-3 the rest of the way to get to 90 wins

Probably won’t do that (5-4 is more realistic) but it’s something to shoot for.

Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

This bit is getting annoying.

There’s no special merit badges being handed out for acting like we have a chance the longest, man. I don’t know whether you’re serious or just trying to annoy people, because everyone knows it’s over – but let the season go with some dignity.

when you are at the stage

that teams only have to play 444 ball to clinch, even if you win out, its over.

Nope it's not

Indians just went on a 10 or 11 game losing streak. They’re not near as good as the Angels, but still it happens. Look I’m not saying that it’s likely or even realistic. I’m just saying it’s not over. The rangers could still do it.

If we didn’t play 4 games against them i’d agree, but we do.

If the Angels were the Mets

It wouldn’t be over. But they’re not.

by the way i'm neither trying to be annoying, or being serious.

just kind of you know. still a chance. Trying to get into the games a little more since there is still a chance.

Davis in September

.266/.306/.443. Still quite subpar ,but much better than Take 1.

Take it to the Josey thread.

It's really amazing how the number of comments in other threads dropped right off the table after Adam started that thread.

Well

Season’s over and it’s the only action going on here, really. Too bad that thread is pretty boring itself.

No matter. Football season is in full swing and all is right with the world.

Which kind of shows that there's a bigger problem than a "special thread" will solve

But Adam seems to relish the inanity, and it’s his blog, so whatever.

Josey has problems.

But most posters here are annoying from time to time. I think Josey is funny, in a Tokyo Rose kind of way.

Same. Outlaw's bit is pretty funny.

The reactions he gets from people is amazing though.

He’s actually tooken seriously. Lol

Like I said in another thread

Every village needs it’s idiot.

The real problem is the people who let themselves get sucked into arguing with him – really, Josey is just an example of why SBN needs a built-in ignore system. ab03 is a god, but the reality is there needs to be something more intigrated.

Well, Jayslick went postal on AJM in one of the Purke threads awhile back

Hasn’t been around much since.

to see if he just kept posting here and just pretended it never happened.

Well, he's been around I guess, if you look at his profile page

Last posted four days ago. He just hasn’t been super-active.

Well

If Adam were into banning, I’d probably have been banned when I first showed up. It’s probably to his credit that he lets the goons sort each other out. Unless you can IP ban, it’s not too effective anyway, I’d guess.

hasn’t shown back up.

That’s mainly because we where lucky enough to have you around to play whack-a-dawg in the aftermath of his original banning.

or just has some new username

If so

Then he hasn’t gone back into his same bit and that’s just as good.

by brettgardner on Sep 25, 2009 11:04 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He would have kept going...

but I instituted a waiting period for new users. And banned him when he was in waiting period.

gardner should be banned

for lack of baseball knowledge alone.

He is in a baseball room, doesn’t know what the F is going on, has nowhere else to go so all he does to make a name for himself is cause trouble.

Right?

I didn’t even post in the gameday thread today, and yet you still take a shot at me about soccer.

Glad to know I’m worthy of your attention even when I’m not around. I feel so pretty!

Scousers

Nothing wrong with Scousers- I know a few, and they’re good guys. We also count Elvis Costello, Mike Myers, and Samuel Jackson among our fan base. And Sam Jackson is a bad MF.

My team looked pretty good today…

I'm just stating facts per Chris Davis.

His season this year was unacceptable.

Have a problem, go to the sandbox.

OT: Johnny Depp was in the park today.

Not as a guest. As a Cast Member.

He played Jack Sparrow in the Captain Jack Sparrow Pirate Tutorial and in the halloween parade. I saw him without realizing it, but thought to myself it was a better Jack Sparrow than usual.

Yeah, he definitely just earned hella cool points with me.
