January 6, 201115 yr I have been on sports forums since 2004 I believe. I used to be on the 2ksports forums like it was my damn job. I had over 8,000 posts there in like 2 or 3 years, it was sickening...... Anyway, I was just going through some olds threads from 2005-2007 just to see how dumb I was when I was 15-17 years old when it came to baseball. Here are some funny/stupid things I had said. I'm embarrassed..... Dec 23rd, 2006 - The Brandon McCarthy trade..... OH MY GOD. NOOOOOOO. McCarthy was my favorite player and I couldnt wait for him to start. I am utterly ****ed off right now. I cant believe it. We now have a terrible rotation, and I really dont give a damn about next season anymore. No joke. I could careless about the team now... I cant believe this... PLEASE GOD. Let someone fail a physical... I really dont give a **** about these new player. I am ****ed as hell right now. Holy **** im mad. This better result in a trade in which we do something HUGE. ....I give up.... EDIT: we got some scrub pitchers by the way.. no one who will ever be as good as McCarthy. Dramatic much? lol.
January 6, 201115 yr Don't feel bad, the reaction was pretty much the same here, myself included. I was dead wrong on the Bmac deal.
January 6, 201115 yr Hell this was my avatar just last year before the Sox went on that tear through the NL. Yeah I can make some dumb ass posts too.
January 7, 201115 yr Loved the trade, Danks was a high ceiling lefty where as B-Mac really never wowed me. But if you go back far enough all of us have a bad moment.
January 7, 201115 yr Oh yeah, my first post here was me LOSING it on KW for trading Joe Valentine haha
January 7, 201115 yr You should've been here through the near epic collapse in 2005. All the choke avatars led by Tizzle were the stuff of legend. I think the dumbest thing I ever said was that I hoped the Sox did end up missing the playoffs so we could avoid an inevitable sweep by the Yankees, Red Sox or Angels. Another one was more recent in that I liked the Tony Pena deal. And I chastised anybody who said we gave up too much for a reliever. Pena sucks and Allen looks the part of a solid regular. I know there's a lot more dumbass gaffes from me. I'll do a google search later. Edited January 7, 201115 yr by Jordan4life

January 7, 201115 yr Here's the original McCarthy/Danks thread for those wanting to reminisce. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=56073 Tried to find the Garcia for Floyd/Gonzalez thread but came up empty. Nevermind. Found it. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55750 lol. These are too damn funny. Edited January 7, 201115 yr by Jordan4life
January 7, 201115 yr I don't remember being pissed off about that deal, but I was confused as hell, scratching my head trying to figure it out. I started to change my mind during Danks's rookie season.

I didn't go through all 60 pages but my initial reaction was much more tame than I remember. I was pissed when that trade happened, I know that.
January 7, 201115 yr Between these two trades, the Thornton deal and the CQ deal, though CQ has sucked ass since 2008, KW was in a f***ing zone. What happened?

I was just glad we were able to get a anything for a starting pitcher that was quite obviously injured, regardless of how well he pitched near the end of the season. You don't get bluechippers for a starter who lost as much velocity as Garcia did between '05 and '06. 2 young starters for Flamethrower Freddy? s*** yeah. I like how I seemingly learned my lesson from the Thome trade (when I freaked the f*** out) and didn't say a damn thing in the Danks thread, aside from predicting that Mark Buehrle would not pitch for St. Louis while still in his prime. I really have no idea how I felt about the McCarthy trade. I wish I could find my first post on the site. It was some psychotic rant about how f***ing horrible Ben Davis is.

January 7, 201115 yr Forgive me if this has been asked and answered before. And I'm not complaining. But why doesn't the search function work?

January 7, 201115 yr It's just so funny all the post in the McCarthy thread about how Danks or Floyd is going to have to be the 5th starter now, and now they're both key members of our rotation. Edited January 7, 201115 yr by kev211
