Hey, I was just wondering if I could make a fan page for Adam, or if he doesn't want one.
Thanks.

Best screen name in the history of the Internets.
Not mediocre. Right about average
I'll be honest
I think it’s kind of creepy. And if I were Adam, which I’m obviously not, I’d probably be kinda weirded out right now.
It's just a FB fan page...
It’s not creepy. I run Tanner Scheppers Fan Page, he knows and about it and said he’s cool with it.

That makes as much sense as this fanpost. Scheppers should be offended and Feliz should be nervous.
Feliz has like 10 fan pages

My great-granddad, who was a sharecropper in West Texas for a large portion of his life, refused to use indoor plumbing
He considered doing such a thing indoors to be “uncivilized.” When my great-grandparents moved into town (this was probably the 1950s or 1960s), he built an outhouse in his back yard and continued to take care of business in that manner. It wasn’t until he got in bad health in the 1980s and was unable to walk out to the outhouse that he started using indoor plumbing.
To be honest, he had a fair point about it being uncivilized.

The only one that even seems remotely useful is twitter.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
Unless
you’re promoting something I think Twitter is almost completely useless. I think FB is more useful than Twitter is and I use the term “useful” loosely, because let’s be honest FB isn’t really that useful either.
When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.
I see it as being useful as a way to distribute news quickly, much like you see the twitter feeds on baseball news.
But as you said, useful is a loose term.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
None
No MySpace, no FaceBook, no Twitter. Social networking sites are the bane of humanity. I relate them to putting up a billboard at a busy intersection screaming “Hey look at me”. And trust me I’m no Luddite – have had websites and peer to peer chat since 1992, and was among the first to use iconic representation of objects to link to online applications (1984-85). But I guess there is a rage to be heard/seen/read/viewed.

The self-promotion aspect of Facebook is a fair one, and something that annoys me
I like it because it’s a single platform by which I can maintain friendships and connections with people from high school, college, and law school. It’s nice to people able to keep up with folks who are flung all across the state, nation, and world when you would otherwise lose touch with them.

Quite true
If you have (or use) no other resources. One way or another I’ve maintained touch with classmates from 55-60 years ago, and used to keep LivePerson on the websites for individual chat and deferred messages. That foregoes the pictoral stuff, but even that can be done privately and pretty well via email attachments. Some friends and associates use Yahoo Groups, etc. for more ‘broadcast’ stuff, but even that depends on voluntary inclusion. I think the latest surge in personal networking is to make it more instant, which is OK, but not my choice.

I'm not sure what your point is
Are you saying that flying that flag is better than the battle flag?
I would actually think that flying the national flag would be worse than flying the battle flag
Since flying the national flag would indicate an actual support of the Confederate Governement and what it stood for. You can at least make an argument that flying the battle flag would be in memory of those who fought and died under it, which I could see if you had a Confederate ancestor like Patrick Cleburne or something.
Unfortunately that’s not the way it works, because the battle flag is the one which has been stereotyped into the American conscious as a symbol of intolerance.

You're absolutely right, Jon.
Being a traitor is so much more noble than being a bigot.
Saying the flag has been “unfairly re-purposed” is about as retarded a statement as I’ve ever heard.
Who exactly is it that’s “re-purposing” the flag?
I'd say it's those idiot clansmen in the picture.
It’s not their flag, it was the flag of the confederate armed forces – which, though they where on the wrong side, fought with just as much honor and bravery as their union counterparts.
I think myself that it’s an affront to the confederate armed forces that organizations like the clan have taken the flag and turned it into a pure symbol of racism and intolerance.

The momentous meaning of this occasion impressed me deeply. I resolved to mark it by some token of recognition, which could be no other than a salute of arms. Well aware of the responsibility assumed, and of the criticisms that would follow, as the sequel proved, nothing of that kind could move me in the least. The act could be defended, if needful, by the suggestion that such a salute was not to the cause for which the flag of the Confederacy stood, but to its going down before the flag of the Union. My main reason, however, was one for which I sought no authority nor asked forgiveness. Before us in proud humiliation stood the embodiment of manhood: men whom neither toils and sufferings, nor the fact of death, nor disaster, nor hopelessness could bend from their resolve; standing before us now, thin, worn, and famished, but erect, and with eyes looking level into ours, waking memories that bound us together as no other bond;—was not such manhood to be welcomed back into a Union so tested and assured?

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition.
Alexander Stephens said that.
The leaders of the Confederacy made slavery their rallying cry at the start of the war, and you’re going to feign shock that the flag is a representation of bigotry and intolerance?
The national flag? Most certainly not.
I think the battle flag however, is a bit of a different case, and I’ve told you why.
You don’t seem to be grasping the difference however.

I'm sure some of my ancestors were Confederate Soldiers
One branch of my family — my favorite branch — came to Texas from Mississippi. Since just about everyone of fighting age fought at some point I’d assume some of my blood was spilled in that war.
But they were still traitors to the United States and I don’t think they deserve any special recognition for that, especially considering the reasons for secession.
The battle flag is the most widely known flag of the CSA and is still synonymous with oppression by a hell of a lot of people, including many who have adopted it because they’d love to oppress a bunch of people.

FWIW
the CSA freed slaves and had them fighting on the side of the Confederacy in exchange for their freedom.
But the war was only about slavery? Lincoln is quoted as saying he didnt want to free the slaves prior to the proclamation, and every historian pretty much agrees that the proclamation had absolutely no effect on actually freeing any1 until after the war. i mean its all kinda dumb, but at least people need to understand the complexities of it all.

That was very rare. What was more common was they’d come across freed slaves and put them into labor camps.
And I’d say that the Emancipation Proclamation did have an effect prior to the war being over. Anywhere the Union Army advanced or occupied in the South, the slaves there were freed.

You should just refrain from taking positions that you haven’t thought out. If you want to avoid castigation, that is.
Dude, I've had this argument before with people, and my position has never changed.
Yes, the confederate battle flag has become synonymous with everything bad about racial relations. Which is extremely unfortunate, because what it should stand for is the men like the ones Joshua Chamberlain respected enough to salute at Appomattox. Just like he did, I think respecting those men can go outside the fucked-up box that was the confederate cause.
That’s all I’m trying to say.

While I am wary of wading into the brett/jon battle, I'd like to offer a few thoughts
1. I have Confederate ancestors. I am proud of my family heritage. However, I would never fly the Confederate flag (except in a display of the six flags of Texas). I don’t personally view it as an expression of racism but I very clearly understand why it would be viewed as hurtful by those whose ancestors were oppressed by slavery.
2. The underpinnings of the rebellion and the mindset of those who joined the Confederate cause are complex. It’s incorrect for the anti-Confederate to argue it was about racism and oppression, nothing more. It’s equally incorrect for the pro-Confederate to argue that it was about states rights and nothing more.
Clearly, some like Alexander Stephens focused on the oppression as a reason for participating. Robert E. Lee’s writings and thoughts on slavery show a man who couldn’t bring himself to fully support or oppose it. He was tortured by the thought of bearing arms against the Union (and initially opposed the rebellion when the first states seceded), but ultimately felt duty-bound to defend his home state once Virginia seceded. In those days, a man viewed himself a citizen of his state first, and the Union second. Choosing between the two would have been an awful, awful decision, one that I pray I never have to make.
Others had different reasons. My great-great-great-great-great grandfather served in Company M of the First Texas Volunteer Infantry, Hood’s Brigade, Longstreet’s Corps. He wrote a fascinating account of his service late in his life and stated from the outset that he didn’t own a slave, nor did anyone in his company. Most of them had never even seen a slave or a plantation. They were poor East Texans who didn’t like “damn Yankees” ordering them around, and that was a good enough to march off to war.
3. To mock members of the Confederate cause as simple traitors is a short-sighted view of history, revolution, and war. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of the Founding Fathers committed one of the greatest acts of treason the world has ever seen. Had their rebellion been squelched, world history would view them as traitors and nothing more. To be clear, I am not equating the Rebels with the Founding Fathers. I am simply pointing out that any rebellion is, by definition, treason.

I don’t think anyone is “mocking” them. Just pointing out a fact. The same fact goes with the American Revolution. But beyond that, I don’t see any reason to treat all treason equally. Why shouldn’t I care more when my values are the ones being betrayed?
And shouldn’t you have to actually do something to be proud of it? Why would you be proud of your family heritage just for its own sake?
x
Treason
You make a fair point about you caring more when your values are the ones being betrayed. I would temper that by pointing out that there are equally valid (though perhaps incorrect from your perspective) values on the other side of that act of treason. You’re not necessarily wrong to care more about this particular act of treason, nor am I necessarily wrong for disagreeing with your view of it.
Family heritage
Your family heritage comment is an interesting one. One of the greatest aspects of the American Experiment was the ability of a man to succeed to the best of his own ability and luck, regardless of his family’s heritage or wealth. Men like Andrew Jackson don’t become the leader of Old World countries, but they can, and do, in America. So to that degree, I don’t see a man’s family heritage as a reason for why he should succeed or fail to succeed in life.
On the other hand, I enjoy knowing and understanding where my family came from and what they did along the way. I think it can be educational and inspirational, and sometimes just plain entertaining.
When you read about your ancestors and their experiences and acts in war and other horrific times, it puts into perspective what are relatively minor difficulties in my modern life and there’s an aspect of pride to want to show the same resilience as your forefathers.

Against What?
The South seceded. The South fired the first shots of the war. Until Grant’s march through Georgia there aren’t all that many accounts of Union armies fucking up the Southland, just as there weren’t many accounts of rebels fucking up stuff when they went North. For the first four or so years of the war that kind of thing was considered dishonorable.
We could get into a long discussion about why rebels joined the cause, and I will readily concede that most of them probably didn’t have much of a choice. That doesn’t make their rebellion something to be proud of, though.
by Black Francis on Feb 6, 2010 9:10 PM CST up reply actions
Re: the rebellion as something to be proud of and who fired first
I see your point, but I would suggest the “against what?” goes deeper than the firing of the shots at Fort Sumter. The Nullification Crisis and various other events over the prior three decades made a split likely inevitable.
It’s not like we had a sudden crisis where the South fired some shots and war started with no warning. The South finally made the decision that, in their mind, something had to be done, and Southerners picked up arms to defend their homeland against decades of Yankee actions.

Let's not pretend
the South wasn’t sucking the teet of the industrialized North at the same time. The “decades of Yankee actions” had tremendous economic benefits for an agriculture and frankly ass backwards Southern society.
And let’s not paint it all as rah, rah defend our homeland stuff either. Even ignoring the tremendously high amount of racial tensions in the South, the war was fought because individuals in the South underestimated the importance of industrial capacity in war and foolishly thought they would gain support from other nations. It was a stupid gamble made by a bunch of regional powers who wanted to maintain their strangle hold on economic power. On top of that, the whole thing was fueled by a lot racial tension and a lot of baseless black hatred. While not all Southerners (or even the majority) owned slaves, hatred towards blacks and fear of them was a pretty big driving force of Southern society’s decision to march to war. In the end, I don’t see the point of celebrating a series of poorly made decisions combined with a decent dose of racism. But of course, I never really understood the need for Nationalism either, so it’s probably just my world view not fitting with yours.

"I will not stop referring to Japanese people as Japs despite how racially charged that term is." - LSJ on being asked by WyoRanger
Agree on the worldview probably being different, case in point being that you don't understand nationalism while my Texas pride knows no bounds
But I agree with you on the gamble the South took. I think there were several gambles in there: they underestimated the North’s industrial capacity, they overestimated the probability of European intervention to protect the European mills’ cotton supply, and they gambled on a belief that the North would face a fierce Southern resistance and just let the South walk away. Lincoln, to his credit, was bound and determined to preserve the Union and did just that.
I would contend that the South “sucking the teat” is a bit of a simplified view of the economic factors at play, as that doesn’t consider the whole of the trade between the South, North, and Europe, and accompanying tariffs and trade hostilities.
Looking only at the economic aspect of slavery, I would agree that slavery created a “cap” on the modernization of Southern agriculture and, as a consequence, the economy and society as a whole. Whether the advent of new agricultural technologies would have caused a natural end to slavery is something I have pondered. I’m not sure that it would have, but I’m not sure that it wouldn’t have, either.
I admittedly have an affinity for the South and its heroes, so I get worked up about some of these issues, but I try not to view the War through the Lost Cause prism. I think the romanticized Cause has done as much to hurt the Southern viewpoint as help it.
In any event, I waded into this fray in hopes of pointing out that it’s an issue much more complex and fascinating to discuss than arguing over racism/states rights/Confederate flag. Firebat, it seems like you understand that too.

I don't understand nationalism either
But at the same time I feel really fucking lucky to have been born in the US and not some bullshit CSA aristocracy. But I guess that’s beside the point.
There was no just cause for rebellion and that’s the bottom line. Yes, the North and South had their differences but I do not for one minute believe that a civil war was inevitable.
It’s just nothing to be proud of.
Either way, it was 150 years ago and if it weren’t for people still wanting to fly that stupid flag there wouldn’t be much worth arguing about.

The differences between North and South, slavery being one of the biggest, were such that a civil war was inevitable to settle the issues
Both sides were vehemently convinced they were right and weren’t about to just give in.
When you have two sides with immovable positions on issues that lead to fundamental disputes in the operation of the Union (disputes that are far graver than anything we see today), barring a sudden change in someone’s mindset, war becomes inevitable.

American Revolution v. American Civil War
There’s a pretty big difference. The reason the colonists rebelled was because they had no meaningful representation in the British Empire, so they wanted to rule themselves.
The Southern states did have representation in our Federal Government, though, and were, in fact, over-represented because of the 3/5 compromise. They had an abundance of representation in the House and sent two Senators to Washington like every other state.
They just didn’t like the results. Today we often don’t like the results but we don’t take up arms against our countrymen.

Because you’re a redneck bigot racist and dumb as they come :) I’ve never been to Laredo Johnny Rocker Jr. I spend most of my time in NYC or L.A. or wherever the hell I feel like going. I’d love to see the expression on your dumb redneck face as you walk down the streets of Manhattan mouth agape, head tilted back, uttering GOLLLLLLLLLLY ever ten seconds. You are truly tantamount to something that someone would find stuck to the bottom of their shoe in a XXX rathed video arcade. So are there STILL no farms in San Diego you ignorant ugly bitch.

Amen!!!
I don’t know much about AJM, but I do know that his LSB posts aren’t very inspired — I just come here for the consolidated morning news links. The other SN blogs, like BloggingTheBoys, kinda puts LSB to shame with analysis, exclusive interviews, on-the-scene content, and general interaction. AJM sets the bar low here at LSB, which is unfortunate considering the audience and potential this site has.
I’m just sayin’…
You wanna talk about shitty commentors...
…go to BTB. If it weren’t for Raf and Aaron commenting in the threads, I’d never read the comment sections. AJM doesn’t break down games like Raf because football is different than baseball. More games, less time for over-analysis, better statistical metrics.

BTB is turrrible in regards to most of the commentators.
I’ll go over there for a few of the threads Raf or Aaron will put up. But the comments are just a beating. I can usually make it about 50 posts into most threads before I have to stop.
"grilled cheese punches like a bitch" -Gdawg
"i feel like k-rod after a save." -by reagan on Jan 23, 2010, that glorious day Hicks was out of our lives.
No one expects game breakdowns
But there’s plenty to write about. For example, BBTIA does an exemplary job of producing thoughtful analysis of the Rangers and the team’s controversial topics throughout the season. And when stats get old, there’s also endless Op-Ed stuff to cover. I’m just saying I wish LSB had more substance. I cited BTB because they actually post legitimate editorials, which rarely happens on LSB. And sorry, I don’t read blogs for the reader’s comments.
so are you saying that the moderator is the only one with any good insight?
a lot of posters on the LSB 40 have really good comments about players and the game. sure some of them can get ridiculous, but most of the die hard commenters bring something to the table.
No...
I’m saying what’s the point of a blog if the author isn’t going to do anything but start “threads?” Might as well be a forum. The fact you refer to AJM as a “moderator” is pretty telling. For all the attention AJM and LSB get, shouldn’t they be responsible for more than herding comments? I don’t know how these SN blog authors get their gigs, but I’m frankly surprised SN tolerates AJM’s lack of effort.
Several points
AJM puts up a good deal of original content especially when he’s questioning the organization’s decisions. Original content everyday? No. How much original content is contained in the Startlegram or DMN? None. Why do you expect more from a guy that’s basically unpaid?
He’s doing exactly what we want. Gathering information for us and we can do with it as we want.
BBTIA is different since they focus more on prospects. There’s far less available information regarding them so they have to do a bunch of legwork to fill in the gaps and for that I thank them. But this site focuses more on the majors and there’s more information out there so that’s what AJM does – gathers it into something useable.
That said, don’t come here if you don’t like it or quit fucking bitching. Easy as that.

by knockoutking on Feb 7, 2010 10:04 PM CST up reply actions
Since this was pointed out to me...
…I figure I’ll respond.
First of all, I believe, at least, I do more than just “start threads.” I offer opinion, analysis and commentary. Some days, some weeks, I have more to say than others.
I agree, BBTiA does a great job offering “thoughtful analysis of the Rangers and the team’s controversial topics throughout the season.” I think I do a pretty good job of that, as well, though. I’m hard-pressed to think of too many relevant issues that I haven’t weighed in on over the past almost five years.
I don’t think that all I do is “herd comments.” I do very little of that, quite honestly. Most of my time and effort is spent on doing blog posts. Again, it varies from day to day, and this particular time of the year is a time when there’s not much news and I don’t feel like I’ve got a whole ton to say. This is a hobby for me, and I don’t feel an obligation to manufacture a topic to crank out a couple of thousand words just for the sake of doing it.
I think a lot of the problem comes from the fact that there are generally 4-6 front page posts or fanshots a day here, and the majority of them are going to be links or relatively short posts that aren’t the sort of in-depth analysis you are looking for.
I will admit that I’m not interested in doing a bunch of exclusive interviews or on the scene content. In part, that’s because I’m not “on the scene” — I live in Houston. In part that’s because there are plenty of other folks who do that and have better access than I do, and in part it is because I’ve sort of made a point of staying on the outside, looking in.
In any case, I’m sorry you feel like this blog reflects a “lack of effort” on my part. It is a pretty time-consuming gig. SBN recruited me from my old blog about five years ago — that’s how an author gets a gig with SBN, because the SBN folks like the work they are doing somewhere else and asks them to come on board. If you think SBN can do better by recruiting someone else, send an email to blez@sportsblognation.com and let him know your thoughts. If they feel that there’s someone better for the job, I’ll be happy to turn LSB over to that person.
Looking back over all this, I probably should have just ignored this, but really, this is the one criticism that gets under my skin. I just can’t figure out how anyone could look at the work I’ve done here, be it over the past month, the past year, or the nearly five years I’ve been here, and say I do nothing but start threads and post links. That is, quite frankly, bullshit, and suggests that whoever is making the comment doesn’t frequent LSB enough to have a handle on what I do.

To be clear
I didn’t intend this to be an “I’ll take my ball and go home if you don’t like my blog” comment. I like doing this, which is why I do it — it certainly isn’t for the pay, which is minimal.
But I’m here because SBN invited me to do this and gave me the platform. If they decided someone else would be better for SportsBlog Nation, and asked me to step aside because that is more in line with what they want, then I’d be disappointed, of course, but I’m not going to stomp my feet and demand that my way of doing things is best. I do what I do, and as long as I’m enjoying doing it and SBN is happy with it, I’ll keep doing it.

Different blogs have different niches
Adam settled into what works best for him, and just because you have a certain notion for what every SN blog should look like, I don’t believe that they necessarily share your attitude. As far as the Rangers, what you’re looking for is out there, so if you’re a Rangers fan I don’t understand what the gripe is. You’re covered, and I think that most of us – with huge, huge appetites – agree that we are incredibly fortunate to have the group of guys that we do covering the team and spending huge amounts of their time supplying us with free content. In addition to what Adam does, Joey and David, for example, do a lot of insightful stuff, Scott Lucas sometimes chooses to do analysis, same with Jamey Newberg, and the big media outlet blogs sometimes have something in that vein in addition to news and discussion. We as Rangers fans aren’t lacking good analysis.

awwww I'm soooooo sorry that "the trouble" ruined your day Jon..
maybe you should find something else to do besides sitting here all day and it won’t have quite the meaning that it does to you. I will admit that things got heated and over the top and I said things I probably should not of said HOWEVER Matthew Shephard is a touchy subject for me. Do you even know the Matthew Shephard story?
Matthew Shephard was a young diminuitive kid who met 2 thugs in a GAY bar in Laramie, Wyoming. He was taken out to a rural area and tied to a fencepost and tortured for hours and left to bleed and freeze to death in the Wyoming winter. When he died I took part in several rallies in NYC which numbered in the hundreds of thousands. I will NOT allow anyone to stomp on this poor mans grave.
I’m sorry if I said anything that offended you but guess what if a black/white racially charged argument transpired here and the name James Byrd came into the argument I would be just as pissed. I’m sure a few old school brothas would get a little hot under the collar as well. It’s crossing a line x 1,000,000. James Bryd is the black man who was drug behind a truck by 3 rednecks. I have a differant perspecive on Matthew Shepard than most do on here. When someone disrpespects such a sweet and innocent kid like that, that’s fighting words to me. That’s just who I am. Would it really kill you to hammer out a few more letters to say japaneese as opposed to Jap? Lord knows you have the time.
I did not ask you if you have herpes. I said is that a hairpiece?!?
I still don't understand the meaning of the Larry King/Matthew Sheppard comment

If you’re going to make a gay joke, there’s bound to be a far funnier and less obtuse comment than that one.

That’s the only reason I associate Matthew Sheppard when I say Larry King’d. None of you obviously don’t watch the news enough.
Goddamn.

That did make me cringe a bit.

One correction BigGuns
He wasn’t at a “gay” bar. There is no gay bar in Laramie. I lived in Laramie for 8 years including when Matthew was killed and during the trial and had been to that bar many, many times (I know the bartender that was serving him that night). The gay people I knew didn’t really have a “spot” but instead just hung out with friends.
During the trial I drove by the courthouse when that crazy fucking Kansas church showed up. Ech.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
That'd be Westboro Baptist Church.
Craaaaaazy fucking people. And the pastor’s family are a bunch of lawyers that sue the ever-lovin’ shit out of anyone that tries to do anything about it.
This was a counter-protest in San Francisco a couple weeks ago. The counter-protesters had signs sporting such gems as “I have a sign” and “God Hates Flags”. Pretty funny.

I fucked those guys up outside a Tool concert a few years back
It was then I learned if you leave out namecalling and calmly deliver an argument with absolute confidence, people are often unprepared for that. These guys had nothing to say, and moved to a different entrance. They were just completely uninformed. My high school debate team prowess reigned supreme.

That probably would have just affirmed their point of view, but they did need a good asskickin.

That bunch is nothing but a group of wacko idiots
There’s nothing Christian about their antics.

It really makes my stomach hurt
to think they are actually serious. Extremists isn’t even a good word for it.

Surprisingly strong circuit
with a couple of decent debate camps in that area.

Good grief.
