4/3: 1:20PM CT WGN Pirates (Ohlendorf) @ Cubs (Garza)

[Little Slide Rooter]

How many times did the Pirates beat the Cubs last year?

 

How many games did the Pirates win?

 

At least in Road victories...

 

Pirates won 17 total road games last year. Five were in Wrigley.

 

But he was predicting 2011, where he was being negative about the future outcome of this season. That's all I'm saying.

 

I've proven my point. I'm done.

 

Yeah, but your point was ass and can only be proven through madness.

 

And I have no idea why you only focused on road games. Derwood was talking about how the Pirates won around 20% of their total victories last season against the Cubs.

 

Wow, are you really so desperate to get the last word in that you have to dredge this up? It's done. It's over. Everyone has said everything there is to say. Do what the Beatles said, and Let it Be.

 

The Zax – Dr. Seuss

 

The day before today,One day, making tracks

In the prairie of Prax,

Came a North-Going Zax

And a South-Going Zax.

And it happened that both of them came to a place

Where they bumped. There they stood.

Foot to foot. Face to face.

 

 

“Look here, now!” the North-Going Zax said, “I say!

You are blocking my path. You are right in my way.

I’m a North-Going Zax and I always go north.

Get out of my way, now, and let me go forth!”

“Who’s in whose way?” snapped the South-Going Zax.

“I always go south, making south-going tracks.

So you’re in MY way! And I ask you to move

And let me go south in my south-going groove.”

Then the North-Going Zax puffed his chest up with pride.

“I never,” he said, “take a step to one side.

And I’ll prove to you that I won’t change my ways

If I have to keep standing here fifty-nine days!”

“And I’ll prove to YOU,” yelled the South-Going Zax,

“That I can stand here in the prairie of Prax

For fifty-nine years! For I live by a rule

That I learned as a boy back in South-Going School.

Never budge! That’s my rule. Never budge in the least!

Not an inch to the west! Not an inch to the east!

I’ll stay here, not budging! I can and I will

If it makes you and me and the whole world stand still!”

 

 

Well…

Of course the world didn’t stand still. The world grew.

In a couple of years, the new highway came through

And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax

And left them there, standing un-budged in their tracks.

Crimeny, are you really wanting to do this? You want me to elaborate on how if someone says that "Starlin Castro could hit 30 HR with an old man's cane" after a good play that it's an exclamation for the effort of providing wit or humor to the community, enhancing the enjoyment for all involved in the thread? You want me to elaborate on how the repeated "that happens to 1 out of 30 teams in baseball" or "only the Cubs" is selfish, reactionary nonsense that only serves to irritate all involved in the thread with the absurdity of their short-sightedness? We started down this tangent in an effort to clarify why we have game threads in the first place, it wasn't meant to be an adversarial thing. But if you're going to continue to ignorantly try to play logic detective in order to somehow justify the type of comments I was condemning, and arrogantly try to prop yourself up after having the topic explained to you, there's going to be an issue.

 

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

 

you are this much of a pain and then you mock TT when he finally gives in? if TT had the trigger than 90% of the rest of us have, you'd be long gone.

 

I wasn't mocking anyone. I asked for clarification, he gave it. If you have that much of a problem with me, what's stopping you? And if you ban me, there's about 4 or 5 others you'd have to ban as well.

 

And again about dredging things up... geez. You guys really want to go around on this again, judging by how this keeps coming to light. I've moved on. I'm sorry that nobody else can. TT even said it wasn't meant to be an adversarial thing, and it no longer is, at least not to me. Apparently it still is to some people.
