what a condescending prick.

[delroy lindo]

Which thread?

[stitchface]

pick one.

[abuck1220]

yeah, he's a dick.

[BigbadB]

Yeah, I must have missed the memo that he was granted the title "house pro".

[delroy lindo]

After reading several threads, I'm not sure what sets JeffH apart; the as*holes who do nothing but rip the org are bigger pricks than he is. Unfortunately it seems NSBB is being run over by dem types. If premium is different, it may be time to make the switch.

[abuck1220]

when a team with a 100 mil payroll finishes in 4th place (and w/ a sub-.500 record), i don't know how you can be surprised by the board being overrun w/ posters ripping the organization. what nice things can be said about a team like that?

[delroy lindo]

I didn't say I was surprised by it. I'm disappointed that this is the case, but it comes as no surprise. Foreign opinions are rarely accepted graciously, that's why the board is so heavily inundated with these types of posters. I'm beginning to sound like spitz or caryatid, I know. But I try to leave it to the Insiders board or Roadkill.

[delroy lindo]

Obviously criticism directed towards an organization that failed to reach expectations is warranted. But it's pretty clear A LOT of the posters go well beyond the limits of fair criticism.

It's exactly the same message board with Premium membership, just with added bells and whistles. One of the added perks you might enjoy is the ability to put posters on ignore.

I think what you are getting at is mob mentality. hey, misery loves company. I love the dump kerry sign burnett posters . . .

[abuck1220]

i just love the trade kerry posters.

 

after all, he's 1) coming off a great year 2) dependable 3) cheap 4) locked up long term 5) not coming off surgery 6) doesn't have a no trade clause. i'm sure the market for him is through the roof!

[NCCubFan]

I'm getting in to it with Jeff now. He made a hyperbolic statement that there's zero chance of Hendry being fired after next season. When I pointed out he can't possibly say there's literally a zero chance he didn't back down and he reiterated his claim of a zero chance. So I called him out again; I'm interested to see how (or if) he responds. This was in one of the fifty gazillion Tejada threads.

[abuck1220]

that's what bothers me about him. 75% of his responses are "never", "no way", "not gonna happen"...just real short, rude, know-it-all, i don't even have time to elaborate because i'm so much smarter than you [expletive].

[delroy lindo]

Out of curiousity, why didn't you say something to the guy who wrote this:

 

Enjoy the holidays Jim, it'll be your last as GM of the Cubs.

 

I mean if there's absolutely no certainty about what will happen next season, and since that's explicity stating that Hendry's gone, why didn't you confront that guy?

[stitchface]

huh? I have no idea what you mean V.

 

 

Hey, the topic police are out! Don't talk about it if I don't want to read about it please!

[delroy lindo]

This is what NCCubfan has written:

 

It's not a zero chance, and you know it. You may think there's LITTLE chance, and you might be right about that, but ZERO chance is an absolute statement that is clearly and factually not true because nobody can say with certainty what will happen after next season. When you make such a clearly incorrect statement, and refuse to back off it when called on it, you're likely to be criticized, and rightfully so.

Maybe NC's just thinking we need to take turns slapping down the nitwits.

[stitchface]

jeff was attacking a poster while the other post was just silly.

[delroy lindo]

Have you heard Ben Harper's version of Sweet Home Chicago?

No, I haven't. I'd love to, though.

[delroy lindo]

It is from the pleasure and pain bootleg, tough to find. But the song is around, heh.

Because he's not the one who I was already annoyed with because of his holier-than-thou attitude.

[stitchface]

he seems to be getting nicer actually.

That's cuz I gave him a private ass chewin'. :D
