the whole "kyle is negative" meme really needs to stop

 

kyle is a contrarian at times (most of the time), and super annoying to have a conversation with, but he's really not particularly negative. people are just reading what they want to read.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm sure if I went back through your old posts I might find once or twice when you used hyperbole.

 

You just don't like positive hyperbole. You have no problem with it when you use it in a negative fashion.

 

I have no disagreement with that statement.

David is a robot is a meme. Kyle is negative is a reputation that's been earned.

But he isn't nearly as consistently negative as people seem to generally believe.

i.e. going into all those putrid 2012-2015 seasons, i am pretty sure he was one of the most bullish posters

Sounds like someone needs to go practice his stabbin' in the robot asylum.

Putrid 2015 season?

 

Kyle is generally wrong, and now you are a robot trying to be more human to be wrong as well?

that came out weird but you obviously knew what was meant

 

i had started out with "pre-2015" and then decided to just go with the first theo season and didn't change the end point.

Kyle is generally wrong

 

i'd say he's right more often than most and he has a lot of knowledge of baseball and the things he's talking about

 

even if he doesn't know stuff like what hand mike minor throws with or which one is paul blackburn and which is duane underwood.

There was one time I posted something about MacPhail never firing Hendry like two years after MacPhail had left.

any time kyle is being positive about the cubs it's only so later on when something goes wrong he can feel bad about letting the team get his hopes up. he's the worst and everyone needs to stop pretending he's people

You're going to *love* me whenever we go out in the playoffs.

I'm setting up an emergency mod protocol for such a scenario.

I remember last time I compared us being excited about making the playoffs to my cat being excited when I bring home burgers. Then I spent an entire offseason telling everyone I was trying to be a Cardinals fan.

While he's certainly not unintelligent by any stretch, he tends to come off like he thinks he knows a lot more than he actually does, which is certainly why I have my issues with him (and him on my ignore list).

kyle having a cat is the most predictable thing ever

I hate them. The last two were for my ex-wife. I finally got rid of them and somehow inherited my dad's.

I know this isn't the positivity thread but what the hell are you people doing? It's almost festivus.

Anyways, I really don't mind the hints that we might not be players for the major free agents. This team needs pitching depth, preferably young. Trades and mid-tier signings are probably for the best.

Mojo would kindly request you stop making people up.

Trades, mid-tier signing, and star for good measure.

 

They need to be 100 game winners from now on.
