Hill better pitch lights out...cuz i need an upper after losing the game and soriano tonight

[USSoccer]

If I were managing against the Cubs, I'd call up any soft tossing LHP from my 40 man and run him out there.

 

We cannot, cannot hit left handed pitching, and it's been that way since 2003.

May I request a stop to the gratuitous use of asses, bitches, etc.?

 

Thanks.

 

Go Cubs.

Was it really necessary for you to take a shot at Vance?

I don't really think it was a shot at Vance. It was more to the fact that Tim wants less profanity in the game thread.

I didn't realize remindimg someone of someone else's request was "taking a shot" at someone. Tim wants less profanity in the game thread.

 

My apologizes.

Is it really necessary to so explicitly buck the rules of the site?

 

I'm not trying to slam Vance...he's an awesome guy and brings a ton to this board, but it baffles me how he's able to get away with that.

It's Vance's catchphrase just let him use it.

That's odd. I can think of a few Premium posters who were banned.

 

This goes for everyone - please adhere to the rules in regards to swearing and cut it out as Tim requested. And if you have a problem with what someone says or believe they are violating board policy, contact a mod.

If bitches is such a bad word then why isn't it censored?

Just don't use it. We're not going to be able to censor every inappropriate word and it was being used excessively in the Sunday game thread.

NO WORDS ARE CENSORED!

 

That's not even the point.

the f word.

 

Doesnt work.

This is a loss, because hill will get torched with that short porch in LF in Houston. A two-pitch lefty pitching to probably a stacked righty lineup is going to get drilled in that fake baseball stadium.

The Crawford Boxes are a joke, but the rest of the stadium makes up for it, IMO.

 

Now the hill in CF...

The whole stadium is a joke. Who the heck puts a flagpole on the field of play?

Who the heck puts a hill in the field of play, with a flagpole on top of it!? Can't believe Selig/MLB even allowed that to happen. How do you come up with that, anywho?

 

- "We need something to set this place apart from everywhere else! Ideas?"

- "I know! Let's put a treacherous and dangerous incline out in CF, and then stick a flagpole at the top of it, in the FOP, giving the players even more ample opportunities to hurt themselves!!"

- "Now THAT's what I'm talking about!!!"

- "OOH OOH!! And then like true posers, we put a faux smaller version of the "Green Monster" in short LF, to mimick Fenway!"

- "You're a real Einstein!! Make it happen!"
