7/27 Rockies (De La Rosa) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05, CSN+

I'm going to bed. I'm sorry if I piss people off here and there, but I really am trying to defend people for the good of this forum as a whole. If you dont believe that or agree with it, I can't change your opinion.

 

Go Cubs

also arrieta is in that picture mojo

 

Is that him behind Rizzo? I figured that was one of the random bullpen bodies floating around these days.

 

pretty sure you're talking about hammel

 

arrieta is behind starlin/next to motte

 

Carrie Muskat would be proud of the two of you. The one behind Rizzo (to his right, our left) is Teagarden.

 

Hammel is the tallest guy all the way on the right, behind Wood.

 

White baseball players are the most boring, interchangeable people on Earth.

I'd love to know what I say that is so ridiculous? I voice my extreme (doesn't even describe it) frustration for the Cubs pen. I get ridiculed for saying my opinion and I get guys who say "just because it's your opinion, doesn't make it smart." So when a scout makes a prediction on a player, what is he doing? I feel as if we are "scouts" in our own baseball world, some are better than others. My view is that the bullpen is a disaster, others probably disagree.

 

However I will say, it doesn't matter what someone like me says anymore, could be completely logical and intelligent and people will still be like "no way in hell, he said, I'm gonna disagree." If you disagree, don't acknowledge it, or discuss it.. If you feel it's "gibberish," move along. If you agree with it, it's ok.. Your other little pals here won't disown you.. Or they might.. You're right, they probably will.. I'd hate for you to be removed off their top 8 on MySpace.

He's way worse than davearm

[Sammy Sofa]

I don't know, davearm was like a one-man supply for FJM. This guy is just obsessed with the bullpen.

[OleMissCub]

Your other little pals here won't disown you.

 

Enough with this friends and pals talk. We all hate each other here. Well, I love Sully. Fred too.

[downsr30]

I love Archie and Eli Manning..

 

And I miss Duece McCallister.

Jesus Christ alive man I think you're overreacting a tad. You can post whatever you want, but anyone else can as well. It's kinda silly to expect everyone to react civilly to every post.

I think that a lot of newer posters don't understand the tone of posts. NSBB posts generally don't have a genuinely ugly or hateful tone, but they could easily be read that way. Once people realize that the tone is far more snark as opposed to actual vitriol, it makes things easier for them.

LucasFilm sent a cease and desist letter really fast. So it wasn't Ole Miss that shot that down really.

Name one good reliever in the Cubs pen that is proven. K. Thanks

nsbb is cliquey or whatever but you get smacked down because you're a nonsense man who posts nonsense

[philosophizer75]

Prolonged snark is almost worse to some I'd imagine. I'd rather take a punch to face once than 100 slaps. There's no physical aspect to this, or any other online forum, it's just people posting their thoughts. It can't feel good to be the butt of the joke every time you go onto your virtual thought sharing mechanism. I can understand why some might get pissed as a result of others snark and wit and jests.

That's well said. You should post more.

[downsr30]

Well I'm looking forward to continuing our relationships going forward. I truly do appreciate all your feedback and I love sharing my opinions with you!! You guys are doing a great job!
