MacPhail: Deal is dead (p. 297), stop posting, go outside

[inari]

I've been debating whether or not to use this new "foe" feature. I think it's time.

[Andy]

My guy says the deal is done but the Cubs want to give Yao's injury its proper attention.

I am not keeping a post by post comparison so that we can determine a winner. If you are, good luck to you on that. I've read your posts & i disagree w/ most of them. I do not directly respond to them as I work for a living, have kids & quite frankly am just as tired of hearing your nonsense. I'm quite certain many others are tired of your bullying as well. You are not a moderator so i'd quit speaking for them if i were you. The difference between you and I (other than our leadoff opinions) are that I do this without the name calling & bullying. You have started grasping for straws & fighting unfairly. I firmly believe my position in terms of getting roberts & batting him leadoff. I heard what i heard from piniella & i could care less what you think you heard. I guarantee you roberts would lead off if he came to the cubs. I really hope it happens as evidently that is what it would take to shut you up.

 

Seriously, are you joking? Grasping for straws? How am I grasping for straws? Almost everyone else disagrees with you. Are facts "grasping for straws"? That sounds ridiculous to me. Fighting unfairly? Are you joking? You blatantly lie repeatedly, I call it out, and that means I'm "fighting unfairly"? Where do you come up with this stuff? And the "I have kids and work for a living" stuff is nonsense as well. What does that have to do with anything? Does that make it okay to lie? Does that make it okay to repeatedly say things and then fail to back it up?

 

You guarantee it? Okay, then what sort of compensation are you going to offer me if that doesn't come true? If you can't somehow compensate me, then you're making a prediction and not a guarantee. I seriously think you need to listen to that interview again, because Lou never said that. If he did, why don't you listen again and type word for word what he said, so we can judge it ourselves? Oh, because "you have kids and work for a living", so you don't have time. Right. I'd say there's about a 50/50 chance Soriano would be moved down if they ended up getting Roberts, and I think the odds are only that good because of Soriano's leg problems. If I had to bet, I'd still say that Roberts would bat second and Soriano leadoff. However, I'm reasonable enough to know that I can't make some sort of ridiculous guarantee as if I know for sure, because none of us know that. I also know that I won't lie about what Lou said just to make my point seem more valid.

 

How did I speak for a moderator? All I did was remind you to what HE said.

 

As for disagreeing with that I've said, then fine. The thing is, you never make counter arguments. You act like you can't hear anything and then jump to other statements instead of carrying on a discussion, all the while claiming it's because you "don't have time", which we all know is just an excuse, since you clearly have enough time to post repeatedly.

 

These are a few of the reasons why most of this board doesn't take you seriously and either a)make fun of you, or b)ignore you. As for me, I think it's time for letter B. As others have said in the past week, congratulations for being the first person that has ever made me feel inclinced to use the ignore feature. I'm sure I won't be the last. Have a nice life.

 

I have to admit your responses are a bit hostile. Back it up a notch and just have a healthy discussion. No reason to get upset about it.

That's the whole point. It's impossible to have a healthy discussion with him because he doesn't listen to or acknowledge other people's statements.

Jesus Christ, dude. Whatever. I'm done with this. There is a 3 year old girl missing in my neighborhood right now and you want to win a pissing contest I really never should have bothered entering. ROBERTS IS A MARGINAL UPGRADE OVER DEROSA regardless of da 3 year difference in age, da difference in their WARP, OPS+, da length of their hair and any other stat you want to throw out there. I'm done with this.
