i did tell him that his panties are in the wash and that he was acting like he was on his period

 

hahaha

 

i think its hard to take that without saying anything in return. hahaha

 

True, but his response to RME was a bit much.

Count - Dominant in the second half of last season and even better over the first 2 1/2 months of this year.

Not to be picky but I would say his first 2 months this year have been dominant.

 

June numbers this year:

 

3-0 with a 6.21 ERA, batters hitting .314 against him. He needs to thank the offense for bailing him out.

I agree and I'm sure he has. Let's see if Coop solved his arm-angle problem tomorrow.

What's the deal with the new arm angles? Are they necessary? He seemed to be just fine before he started tinkering with new arm angles.

Jose added a new angle since coming off the DL according to Coop. They worked not not using it again since it threw off his control.

I realize that living in your mother's basement all these years and having the second largest collection of Britney Spear dolls make you an expert in panties.....but, not in baseball.

 

Is that better? :crying

Crede and Thorton = Nice surprises

Vazquez and Garland = Kind of dissappointing

 

Thats just about right on the money. Damn Sox fans are smart.

I think your initial repsonse to this thread was also unwarrated. But you seem eager to be banned so I'll just let you continue.

:D

I still don't understand why this poll and thread are not trolling? It says, "these players have done well and these players stink." I find it offensive on a Sox talk site.

 

It does no good to chastise posters and then do the exact same kind of thing with a thread.

No one is letting anyone slide.

 

But hi8is has been here for awhile is aware of the rules and consequences. There is no need to tell him.

 

You only have 7 posts and might not be aware that personal attacks are not welcome here.

Just giving you a heads up.

If we can't talk about what players have done well and what players stink, we might as just well close the forums. Your opinion is way, way off base here.

Are you honestly trying to say that you think anyone on the exceeded list should be on the disappointed list... or the other way around? Come on, he hit the nail on the f***ing head... they all belong where they are. Anyone with half a brain would be able to go over one of the options with the mouse... click it... and then go down a little more and hit the ''Vote!''.

 

Where does it honestly say ''these players have done well and these players stink"? I may have honestly missed it but i looked twice and came up with nothing of the sort. If that hurts your feelings... what would you do if some one said that you ugly, smell bad, and suck at life? Would you have to go and get a box of tissues?

 

Serious question.

but you do have a very very odd point of view when it come to the context of this thread and what is offensive.

I DO disagree. There are two on the top part I don't feel are locks, and there are three in the bottom part that don't belong there.

 

But, whatever. The "buddy system" determines who is right. You can say people are "on the rag" if you go to junior high with the moderator. If you only have a few posts, "you fail to meet expectation" is way over the top.

 

It's called hypocricy.

It might be called that, but it's spelled hypocrisy.

So which do not belong? This should be interesting.

you clearly give me far too much credit.... junior high? s*** man, i still haven't made it out of 2nd grade yet.

What kind of BS poll is this? You pre-selected who has and hasn't lived up to expectations.

 

Do you work for the Tribune too?

 

What the hell are you talking about?

 

The poll was created pretty easily, I took the players that were outperforming their career numbers and put them in the top poll, then put the ones that were underperforming in the bottom poll. How hard is that to grasp? Why would anyone do it any other way? Maybe you think Thome is not performing at the level you thought he would; then do what others did and write in your response.

 

Threadcrapping is really productive.

 

And no I don't work for the Tribune, it is hard to do that from freaking Afghanistan.
