Stupid Cards Fans!

[stitchface]

Just kidding - I think you guys add a lot to this forum. Thanks for hanging around!

Hey thanks man! I'd tell you to give CardsTalk a chance but it sucks so bad it'll make your head explode.

True story. That would be found in the non-fiction section of your local library.

I checked it out. It reminds me a lot of an ESPN board.

Cards Talk isn't that bad. You just have to be able to skim at a fast rate of speed to tune into what the knowledgeable posters have to say. There's at least 15 that post on a regular basis and many more who hardly post. Wonder why that is?

does skmsw still post there? I always thought he'd fit in well here, amateur sabremetrician that he was.

Yep, not as frequently as he used to. Mostly because the board in its current state turned on him as he was adamantly opposed to the Mulder trade and he was down on Eckstein over Renteria.

 

Cards Talk definitely gets worse in the offseason. Although you have to admit, what exactly have Cards fans had to talk about?

[EastonBlues22]

That board drives me insane... I have more posts here, and I've been a member there for roughly ten times longer. This board is much, much better.

[TruffleShuffle]

Just change the thread title to "Cards fans!" The stupid can be implied... :lol:

[stitchface]

but they're the world's greatest fans! :D

I freakin hate that guy. He is the one who had 3000 posts in about 4 months. All of them bad.

[ManEatingTarp]

I like this forum Always have. The fans here are very good, and it hs what Cards Talk doesn't. Good Mods.

 

It's the best rivalry in baseball, and NSBB is a place that embraces that. \:D/

[windows]

I read NSBB from time to time (though I almost never post), but I think this board is much better. Cards Talk has one or two moderators who read the sports boards much and it's simply impossible for them to get rid of the junk. I don't think it's so much a knock on Cards fans that their board isn't good so much as it is a question of the moderators (or the lack thereof) there.

 

As far as the actual fans go, I tend to think Cub fans are better. Despite what people say, I think Cub fans are more knowledgeable about baseball. And a lot of the Cards fans I know are more of the in-your-face variety that like to talk smack if you're rooting for another team. I root for the Yankees and Nationals and take my share of taunting from Cards fans. I'm not saying Cards fans are bad fans. But there are teams that in general have better fans and there are teams that in general have worse fans.

Hey Windows, what do you think of the Damon signing?

[RockTheIvy]

Hey Windows, what do you think of the Damon signing?

 

What do you think of the Pontoon signing?

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Hey Windows, what do you think of the Damon signing?

 

What do you think of the Pontoon signing?

 

I think it's pretty PHAT.

[windows]

I've got mixed feelings about it.

 

Damon's a nice guy to have at the top of the order. He's pesky, gets on base quite a bit, has a bit of pop, and has decent speed. And since the move weakens the Red Sox, that's a positive as well.

 

But signing Damon pretty much means unless Bernie Williams comes back as a DH that he's gone. Bernie is a class act, was a great Yankee, and it's sad to see him go. Damon is very good, but I'll miss having Bernie patrolling center field.

 

I'm not really sure the Yankees addressed a need. They're going to score a lot of runs no matter what. And they could've signed a corner outfielder for a cheaper price and moved Matsui to center. I say this because I think starting pitching is far bigger of an issue than filling the hole in center field. There's question marks about Pavano and Wright. Johnson is a year older and the wear and tear is showing. I think he'll have a good year, but I'm not sure he'll be the dominant Randy Johnson of old. Mussina is a Yankee through and through, but age is taking its toll on him as well. At times he struggled to get through five. I like what I see out of Wang and Chacon. Small is valuable as a long reliever and a spot starter, but I wouldn't want to just throw him into the rotation. Maybe the Yankees still have the money to spend on a good pitcher, but I'm not sure since they lost a lot of money this year (approximately 50 to 80 million).

 

So, I do like the move somewhat, but I still have some questions. If the Yankees do something to improve the starting pitching situation and bring Bernie back to DH, I'll feel a little better about this move. And for what it's worth, I think Bernie still has a couple of good years left.

[windows]

And ESPN is saying tonight that Bernie re-signed. So, if the Yankees can get another good starter, I'll be very pleased with the offseason moves.

Pretty Hot and Tempting eh? I might go as far as mouth watering!

 

Seriously though, it isn't a bad pickup, as long as Reyes gets a chance to play. Do they try to deal Marquis so that they aren't SO TAGUCHI (oh man that was gold, gold!) in the outfield?[/img]
