A thousand pardons.
I, too, believe the game thread has nothing to do with the outcome of a game. The post I replied to mentioned a "sole" reason for a potential White Sox loss. I assumed that poster was trying to be funny, so I jumped in. I used your starting the game thread as another possibility for a loss. I thought that blaming a thread starter for a potential loss would give folks a chuckle beause they don't believe a message board thread author determines the outcome of a sports contest, either.
I should have said "the guy who has been out of town instead of "from out of town. Again I thought that would be funny because your post clearly stated you had been out of town for the past four seasons. I thought that "from out of town" would be funnier. Another poor decision on my part.
I am happy for you seeing a win.
I must figure out a way to explain my poor attempts at joking around while attempting the poor jokes I make. Or just not try to post things that get a chuckle at all.
Thank you for your service.
I apologize.
