Bloodlust, you are the one sucking the hairs out of reptile's ass. Did i hear you mentioning anything about baseball either? Dont think so, stfu. As for cakes entire previous post, ditto. Every opinion you supplied was practically identical to his, yet for some reason, his were more worthy (in his eye's). Reptile, you need to understand that a proper defense of a comment isn't "oh yeah well your a dumfuck," or "you shouldnt have even tried to compete with me" and whatnot. That's nothing but a load of bullshit, like your entire posts. Now, on to the proving of your dumbass quotes wrong:

No, dick cream. The only one who's stupidity showing here is yours. You obvioulsy must be stupid to think that, of all people, you could go up against Reptile329. Hell, the guy even owns me. What makes you think you're any better?

If you were to suck his dick a little LESS, I might be able to tell where you end and he begins.

I smell bullshit...

Look, Inspector Gadget. Before you go into random babble about things you don't even begin to comprehend, let me point you in the right direction.

Don't begin to act like Reptile329 doesn't know what he's talking about. Because in most cases; He's right, you're wrong. So if, of all people, a newbie can come in and prove him wrong, then the world will come to an end. Cause? The smell of bullshit would have killed us all.

Tell me what I am not able to comprehend? Because obviously your comprehension level is pretty minimal. I needed to point out the difference between realizing when a person is wrong and agreeing to an idea to reptile because he seemed to have difficulties grasping such an intricate subject...

I believe he can, seeing as how he's replied to moronic statements such as this one.

He accused me of "not being able to F-U-C-K-I-N-G read" in an earlier post. Despite his display of foolishness, it made me laugh. He's the one who has problems reading and relaying the information to his brain, not I. So in a sense, I replied to his moronic statement, not vice versa.

Agreeing and realizing when you are wrong are two completely different things.


No shit, Holmes. Would you like a purple teddy bear for your efforts?

Apparently, Reptile wasn't able to properly distinguish between the two. So, he needed me to clear things up for him.

You need to run to your "come back" generator and see how much more shit it can spew. Because it's random, incoherent babble obviously isn't helping you here.

Likewise, both you and Reptile need to tune your comebacks up just a tad.

How are his any more legit? Lets see.

Stiletto has about... what? 2 years in the mk kommunity? As to where cup cakes over here is practically brand new.

Who would you find more legit? A vet, or a newbie?

Thought so...

Length within a community doesn't display legitimacy. I'm sorry you believe that there is some sort of correlative resemblance between the two, but there isn't. Besides, what would his longevity in the MK (keyword there buddy, Mortal Kombat) community have anything to do with his accuracy in baseball? Exactly, shhh.

I didn't say you wouldn't agree with him. I said, that when he proves you wrong, you will not admit it and instead defend your truth with some sort of nonsense. You, sir, need to learn to read.


So when he is wrong and I'm right, you don't seem to tell him what to do.

It's funny that the little bitch coudn't take care of buisness, so he had to call a friend to help him out. Good idea, bad choice in person to bring.

You don't know your foot from your ass, let alone baseball.

One would say the same thing about your little helper.

Besides, you've already shown your insecurity in your argument because of your petty insults.


And you've already showed your's by not supplying anymore baseball facts, and by complaining about my "pretty" insults. Retard.

How can I possibly supply anymore baseball facts when all you're going to do is form some type of retort insulting people's intelligence based off of a freaking opinion?

Btw, Why should I argue his? He isn't the one being a hypocrite. You claim your "facts" are good excuses? Well his facts are just as true as yours,


Well you just !@#$ yourself up there pinky.

No, I didn't. If your opinions/facts are legitimate excuses, then so are his. Read between the lines, contrary to your preferred style.

so how are yours any more legit than his?


So how are his any more legit then mine? Dumbass.

That's it, point the blame elsehwere. I know some of his reaons aren't justifiable, just as some of yours aren't. But he isn't being as total assclown about the entire situation. Hey, let's post a picture, that'll be cool.

As for cakes, don't worry about arguing with the unyielding. He doesn't see his answers/opinions as false, or even moderately wrong, so why bother arguing any longer? I'm done, because I can already imagine what type of spectacle he will give us the pleasure of reading. He lacks any form of sagacity, and has little tact. He is, along with his friend, a self-proclaimed master of baseball. The self-righteous never win, reptile. I tried to approach the situation with an altruistic demeanor, but he (reptile) soon dispersed of it.

 

[Josh]

Bloodlust, you are the one sucking the hairs out of reptile's ass.

The irony in that is that you, are in fact, sucking ass when it comes to flaming these two guys. You have no idea how deep you're digging your grave, dickhead.

Did i hear you mentioning anything about baseball either? Dont think so, stfu.

Last time I checked, you didn't have to stay on topic to prove someone to be an imbecile.

As for cakes entire previous post, ditto.

You say BL is sucking hairs out of asses, but here you are, kissing up to cakes, one of the single biggest dumbasses on this forum, set aside from God of Thunder.

Every opinion you supplied was practically identical to his, yet for some reason, his were more worthy (in his eye's).

If they were identical, they wouldn't be arguing dumbass.

Reptile, you need to understand that a proper defense of a comment isn't "oh yeah well your a !@#$," or "you shouldnt have even tried to compete with me" and whatnot.

I think it's a perfect comeback, considering you're just some punkass, jerkoff noob who needs to be taught a lesson. You need to get your ranks in flaming up before you can even be in reps, BL's, or even my league of flaming.

That's nothing but a load of bullshit, like your entire posts.

You criticize rep of having bad comebacks, but "tat's a load of bullshit" is all you can pull out of your warty vagina. Suuuuuure, assclown. Suuuure.

Now, on to the proving of your dumbass quotes wrong:

Oh God, here we go again...

If you were to suck his dick a little LESS, I might be able to tell where you end and he begins.

And if you were to suck a little less of cakes' dick, then you might... nah, fuck it. You'd still be a worthless sack of steaming horse shit.

Tell me what I am not able to comprehend?

Life's importance, and finding one's true calling. As of right now, I really see no purpose in you beeing here.

Because obviously your comprehension level is pretty minimal. I needed to point out the difference between realizing when a person is wrong and agreeing to an idea to reptile because he seemed to have difficulties grasping such an intricate subject...

Diffuculties grasping an intricate subject? I've been watching this little pussy fight the whole time, and the only ones who make sense are BL and Rep, so shut your mouth before I get krypt to stick his dick in your ear.

He accused me of "not being able to F-U-C-K-I-N-G read" in an earlier post. Despite his display of foolishness, it made me laugh. He's the one who has problems reading and relaying the information to his brain, not I. So in a sense, I replied to his moronic statement, not vice versa.

Actually, if you could, in fact, "F-U-C-K-I-N-G" read, you wouldn't bother replying to them, because you're getting owned like the noob you are.

Apparently, Reptile wasn't able to properly distinguish between the two. So, he needed me to clear things up for him.

If he needed your advice, which is worth less than George Bush's man thong, you would obviously find out, because that's the day that everyone would have monkies fly out of their asses and ream their throats. Ergo, stiletto, doesn't need anyone's help.

It has now caught my attention that whatever you may say after this is bullshit, and not even worth my time to dissect and anal fuck. So listen up jack- you mess with the CoJ, the CoJ messes with you. I dare you to reply to this, slapass.

 

[reptile3292]

Ouch. Really. Fatality. :?

 

[El Chupacabra]

From browsing these stupid posts, I've noticed one of the teams calling the others n00bs because they havn't posted in an MK community once. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? If someone comes onto a board and can make legitmate arguments then it doesn't matter if they have been here for 1 day or 10 years. Being a vet doesn't get you anymore credibility on a message board, in my book at least. The only thing that gets you credibility is the way you post, what you post, and if you know what your talking about.

As for calling people n00bs, learn the ropes. I don't see these n00bs disecting your posts line for line, do I? Last I checked that was a rather n00b thing to do. If you want to make a post off of someone's points then go read their post, make your own, and make it with some organized paragraphs and not a line-by-line disection. No one likes reading that stuff. No one likes browsing through a thread with garbage like that. Disection = n00b move. Take this from an MK COMMUNITY VET. Remember! I am an MK community vet so that must make me right! Right? Yes! I thought so.

El Fin.

 

[narda12]

El chupacabra is badass. I'm not going to bother responding to Josh. His tactics are similar to Reptile's, and frankly i'm tired of the same, irrelevant arguments in which i've already proven to be nonsense.

 

[narda12]

Screw it, I can't help but throw this in Josh's face. Sorry Chupacabra, i'm going to dissect josh's insults word for word, maybe he will open his eyes, and his intellect.

The irony in that is that you, are in fact, sucking ass when it comes to flaming these two guys. You have no idea how deep you're digging your grave, dickhead.

That is opinion, not fact. I believe the more posts both Reptile and you make, the more you're digging your grave.

Last time I checked, you didn't have to stay on topic to prove someone to be an imbecile.

Hmm, that's odd. As I recall, Reptile accused me of not adding any worthy baseball facts to the discussion. So, if your logic is identical to his (as it seems to be), you're both hypocrites. If that law applies to you and reptile but not me, then where in the user agreement did I miss this stipulation? Oh wait, I haven't been here for 20 years have I? If I don't stay on topic, you bash me for it, but whne I point out that exact same fault to Reptile, you bring up some absurdity. Shutup.

You say BL is sucking hairs out of asses, but here you are, kissing up to cakes, one of the single biggest dumbasses on this forum, set aside from God of Thunder.

I am not kissing up to him. I supported his posts. If i were to kiss up to him, I would've used the methods that BL did, such as:

BL> YOU ARE TEH BEST FLAMER IN THE WORLD REPTILE OH MYU GOD <3 <3

If they were identical, they wouldn't be arguing dumbass.

Let me reiterate that for you: They were practically the same. Key word buddy, keyword. They shouldn't be arguing, but your friend is too adamant to realize his fraudulent claims.

I think it's a perfect comeback, considering you're just some punkass, jerkoff noob who needs to be taught a lesson. You need to get your ranks in flaming up before you can even be in reps, BL's, or even my league of flaming.

My ranks in flaming up? You don't know me, or where I come from. Shutupx2.

Life's importance, and finding one's true calling. As of right now, I really see no purpose in you beeing here.

So, uh, why are you here? I see no purpose in you being here either? Other than to flame people. Whereas i attempted to stay on topic, you didn't.

Diffuculties grasping an intricate subject? I've been watching this little pussy fight the whole time, and the only ones who make sense are BL and Rep, so shut your mouth before I get krypt to stick his dick in your ear.

BL and Rep have don e nothing but spew 13 year oild comebacks based on opinions. That isn't making sense.

Actually, if you could, in fact, "F-U-C-K-I-N-G" read, you wouldn't bother replying to them, because you're getting owned like the noob you are.

Once again, that is your opinion. You're entitled to it.

If he needed your advice, which is worth less than George Bush's man thong, you would obviously find out, because that's the day that everyone would have monkies fly out of their asses and ream their throats. Ergo, stiletto, doesn't need anyone's help.

It has now caught my attention that whatever you may say after this is bullshit, and not even worth my time to dissect and anal !@#$. So listen up jack- you mess with the CoJ, the CoJ messes with you. I dare you to reply to this, slapass.

You haven't dissected anything. You've flamed without any evidence or factual representation. You post biased remarks because of REptile and yours relationship. While I tried to remain neutral, that was definitely impossible.

I find it hilarious you ignore a vast majority of my posts. If you had included half of it, half of your comebacks would've been obsolete. For instance, the part in my previous post which stated that length wasn't a prerequisite for supplying the facts. That apparently went right over your head. There were several other portions that i'm sure baffled you, but i'm done trying to reconcile any form of sanity within the two of you, good day.

 

[Josh]

Screw it, I can't help but throw this in Josh's face. Sorry Chupacabra, i'm going to dissect josh's insults word for word, maybe he will open his eyes, and his intellect.

a- Good way to apologize to a guy who has just a tad... a TAD... more intellect than you, to make yourself look good.

b- Word for word? Looks like you took it apart by sentences. Are you retarded?

The irony in that is that you, are in fact, sucking ass when it comes to flaming these two guys. You have no idea how deep you're digging your grave, dickhead.

That is opinion, not fact. I believe the more posts both Reptile and you make, the more you're digging your grave.

Well then if it's all about opinion, then that part of your so called "flame" was fucking worthless. The reason why my opinion matters more is because I'm Josh, fearless leader of the CoJ, and I'm better than you. Get over it asswipe.

Last time I checked, you didn't have to stay on topic to prove someone to be an imbecile.

Hmm, that's odd. As I recall, Reptile accused me of not adding any worthy baseball facts to the discussion. So, if your logic is identical to his (as it seems to be), you're both hypocrites.

If I don't stay on topic, you bash me for it, but whne I point out that exact same fault to Reptile, you bring up some absurdity. Shutup.

Whatever this shit is in which you're just spewed from your fingers, which should be cut off and fed to pit bulls, it has nothing to do with the part of my incredible flame you quoted.

You say BL is sucking hairs out of asses, but here you are, kissing up to cakes, one of the single biggest dumbasses on this forum, set aside from God of Thunder.

I am not kissing up to him. I supported his posts. If i were to kiss up to him, I would've used the methods that BL did, such as:

BL> YOU ARE TEH BEST FLAMER IN THE WORLD REPTILE OH MYU GOD <3 <3

Link me to where he says that IN THOSE EXACT WORDS. I'd like to see this. I mean, if you dont come up with it, I guess you've been proved to be a hypocrite.

If they were identical, they wouldn't be arguing dumbass.

Let me reiterate that for you: They were practically the same. Key word buddy, keyword. They shouldn't be arguing, but your friend is too adamant to realize his fraudulent claims.

Even if someone's opinions were practically identical, they wouldn't be flaming each other, even at practically. I mean, if everything was practically the same, you might be in the same league as me. Practically.

I think it's a perfect comeback, considering you're just some punkass, jerkoff noob who needs to be taught a lesson. You need to get your ranks in flaming up before you can even be in reps, BL's, or even my league of flaming.

My ranks in flaming up? You don't know me, or where I come from. Shutupx2.

Liek, omgz0rz. shuutopz0rzxxxtimesxxtimes2!!1!111!1!!1

Your intellect scares me.

Life's importance, and finding one's true calling. As of right now, I really see no purpose in you beeing here.

So, uh, why are you here? I see no purpose in you being here either? Other than to flame people. Whereas i attempted to stay on topic, you didn't.

If the best you can comeback with is the same exact thing I said, then you have learned nothing in flaming/arguing. This is slaughter, somebody call my mother.

Diffuculties grasping an intricate subject? I've been watching this little pussy fight the whole time, and the only ones who make sense are BL and Rep, so shut your mouth before I get krypt to stick his dick in your ear.

BL and Rep have don e nothing but spew 13 year oild comebacks based on opinions. That isn't making sense.

Maybe if you would've "don e" something other than bitch, you might not look like such a "13 year oild."

Actually, if you could, in fact, "F-U-C-K-I-N-G" read, you wouldn't bother replying to them, because you're getting owned like the noob you are.

Once again, that is your opinion. You're entitled to it.

Gee, I thank you for permission. Now please, allow me to go get your food and beer, all-mighty ass.

If he needed your advice, which is worth less than George Bush's man thong, you would obviously find out, because that's the day that everyone would have monkies fly out of their asses and ream their throats. Ergo, stiletto, doesn't need anyone's help.

You haven't dissected anything. You've flamed without any evidence or factual representation. You post biased remarks because of REptile and yours relationship. While I tried to remain neutral, that was definitely impossible.

You're exactly right. I DID, in fact, flame because of my friendship with reptile. But that was not the only determining factor. I've been following this thread VERY closely, jackass, and I too, believe you are wrong and suck ass at even coming close to coherent.

I find it hilarious you ignore a vast majority of my posts.

Ignore? I was just waiting for you to say something really stupid, then pounce on it like I would pounce on a cheap whore.

If you had included half of it, half of your comebacks would've been obsolete.

Rrrreally? Or is this just another statement based on opinion? Hypocrite.

For instance, the part in my previous post which stated that length wasn't a prerequisite for supplying the facts. That apparently went right over your head.

What the fuck does that have to do anything? Christ, you spew more shit out of your mouth than your ass.

There were several other portions that i'm sure baffled you, but i'm done trying to reconcile any form of sanity within the two of you, good day.

From here, you have a few little options:

a- apologize for being a little prick, and then proceed to pay me tribute in the form kissing my ass. Maybe, just MAYBE, I'll spare you of any more embarassment.

b- not apologize, and continue to flame the CoJ, as we dissect your idiocy and prove you to be a hypocrite.

c- realize that you have failed at life, and tie a noose and... well, I'm sure you get the big picture.

 

[cakes]

Well, what started off as reasonably interesting discussuion/debate on baseball turned into something far, far worse. I tried being mature and I tried to stay cool and collected but my kindness didn't seem to help anything.

reptile3292, I respectfully end our attempts at debating. You are really insensitive and stubborn, and very close-minded. To try and degrade the validity of my comments due to "being 10 years old" (I'm 20) and being a "N00b" even though I posted here under a different moniker for a few months during MKDA time is really strange. But nevertheless, it seems as though this thread needs to end before any more cuss-word laden posts fill it up. I wil leave with this one final comment on baseball:

When I said that Jim Brower's elbow tightened up on "tragic Saturday", you said "Oh, and Kevin Brown can pitch with a broken hand?"----there seems to be a neglect for when Armando Benitez got used nearly everyday before the All-Star break, he went on the DL with ``GASP`` elbow tightness.

Anyways, this was intrigiung for awhile...so good luck to you and hopefully we can engage in more friendly discussions in the future on this board.

 

[narda12]

Josh, that's the same type of bullshit responses i expected. You arent better than anyone else in here because of your affiliation with some group, stfu. I did dissect it word for word, read it you moron. Btw, look up the word practically, you'll be amazed. The part about BL was sarcasm, it's sad I had to point that out, really. Also, making fun of my typo's wont get you any further either. An d as for the why are you here comeback. It wasn;t "the best i could come up with", it was a ask yourself the same question you just asked me type response. You're stupid.

 

[Josh]

Josh, that's the same type of bullshit responses i expected.

Wait, so you actually expected something? Expectations are signs of intellegence. Maybe I was wrong about you... -reads next piece-

You arent better than anyone else in here because of your affiliation with some group, stfu.

... and already you make me want to change my mind.

I did dissect it word for word, read it you moron.

I did, and you dissected it by sentences... wait, why am I arguing about this? I'm clearly right.

Btw, look up the word practically, you'll be amazed.

Look up the word awesome- you might be surprised to see a picture of my and a couple of the other COJ'ites screwing your mother.

The part about BL was sarcasm, it's sad I had to point that out, really.

[sarcasm]Yeah, it's a shame I didn't catch on to that. [/sarcasm]

Also, making fun of my typo's wont get you any further either.

Apparently it did, because apparently the best you can come back with is "it won't get you any further."

An d as for the why are you here comeback. It wasn;t "the best i could come up with",

An d I think you're a stupid dumbass, who wasn;t even sure what the fuck he was doing coming into this flamewar.

it was a ask yourself the same question you just asked me type response.

¿Que?

You're stupid.

Irony is such sweet sorrow.

 

[narda12]

You have the most pitiful comebacks I've heard, really. I've heard quite a few, and yours top the list of most outreaching. You don't understand what I type, you never will. Your comprehension level is so low, it's actually amazing. You obviously didn't sense the sarcasm given the tone of your response. Way to make up a blatant lie.


Once again, all of your defense mechanisms are based around insults that aren't coherent in any sense of the word. Short, witty, sarcastic remarks don't make you seem any more intelligent than you really are. Furthermore, your self-righteous attitude in arguments is annoying. Open your mind first, instead of your mouth.

I'll point out one last absurdity:

Whatever this shit is in which you're just spewed from your fingers, which should be cut off and fed to pit bulls, it has nothing to do with the part of my incredible flame you quoted.

A mindless insult within an equally pathetic sentence. Reread that, and tell me on which planet that consitutes a nicely formed sentence. Hopefully, you will realize that I am trying to prove a point. You called out three of my typo's, maybe four. You have NO right to ridicule anyone's grammer, punctuation, or typo's. Let me help you before you evade an effective retort again. "Whatever this shit is in which you're (which means "you are", not your (as in possession)) just spewed from your fingers, which should be cut off and fed to pit bulls (nice), (new sentences should have periods, not comma's) it has nothing to do with the part of my incredible (ahaha, that's a joke right?) flame you quoted."
No evading that partner.

 

[El Chupacabra]

Back to baseball...

Anyone else catch both of these amazing games? I think on this night alone the MLB has proven why they have the greatest sport in existence. 14 inning Yankee/Sox game that lasted near 6 hours. 9 inning shut out game on both sides for the Cardinals/Astros which ends in a huge bomb from Jeff Kent.

I would go into detail but most of you wouldn't read it or this post would get passed by pointless flaming ... and I have some class work to do.

I don't think the Cardinals are done but they are in some trouble.

I think the Yankees wrap this thing up at Yankee Stadium tomorrow. Shilling is iffy and Lieber is coming off a great game. I think he will pitch similar to the other night. Although both bullpens are exhausted, I have to say the Red Sox are in far worse shape. They have used three starters in extra innings three nights in a row. Plus Leskanic's arm isn't in that great of shape. I'm glad to see Louiza pitch well tonight though. It gives me faith that he could once again be decent. If he learns to control his pitch location a bit better and learn some "cutter" tips from Rivera ... he could be good, again. It looked like he had a nice cutter going on some of those pitches in this game. Manny didn't know what to do with them.

 

[g0d]

I never get tired of seeing the endless supply of Yankee fans who (for what reason, I wonder?) never get tired of seeing the same team win over and over again.

Chupacabra, you hang on to that pride you have in hoping your Yankees will win tomorrow night; hey, it's not like 80+ years is long enough for the Red Sox to win a World Series, as long as your personal satisfaction is fulfilled as yet another sickening bandwagon fan.

Actually. I am anything but a bandwagon fan. I'm not actually a "team" follower - I follow certain players. I do this in the NBA and in the MLB. The Yankees happen to have a few of my favorites so I pull for them. I overall favorite player in the league is Frank Thomas though so I also root for the White Sox. I have followed Loaiza as he was on the White Sox, and I get their local games, so I know what he is capable of ... as well as knowing how quick he can get rocked.

As far as bandwagon fans go - the Red Sox have it maxxed out. The Yankees are a "hated" team just like the Lakers of the NBA. Why? Because they always win. Every person I talk to is a Red Sox fan. All I see now a days are "B" hats. The Red Sox have developed a huge bandwagon in the past two seasons or so. But it's not really hard to blame. Baseball is getting big again and with it comes new fans. Who else are they going to cheer for when they are just getting into the sport? The Royals? Expos? No. They are going to cheer for who is doing well - someone who gives them something to cheer about.

I really don't like arguing with people who accuse others as "Bandwagoners" either as that tends to desdribe a lot about the person and how they view sports. I don't accuse others of jumping on a bandwagon because it really accomplishes nothing plus it's not my style. Like I said: I follow players. I have since I was a kid. I have never held loyalty to a single team, be it college or professional. I go with who I like watching and that tends to be "good" players. I really could care less about the kid who cheers for the Detroit Lions all his life just because he is from Detroit. It doesn't earn you any points. There are 1000's of others in the exact same boat as that one kid.

I followed Shaq when he came into the NBA as a kid plus I attended a lot of Magic games as I lived in Orlando. But soon he was traded to L.A. and I followed him there. Kobe developed into a great player and I began liking him (although my view has somewhat changed on the guy the past two seasons). As for baseball I will always pull for the White Sox as long as Frank Thomas is playing. If he is injured, as he was this season, then my liking for the team goes down a great deal. Same goes for the Yankees. I like Sheffield and Matsui a great deal. Other players have grown on me since i've watched a good portion of Yankee games this season. I like Bond's and root for the Giants in a boat load of games because of him. Does this mean I am a San Fransico bandwagoner? Nope. It just means I like watching a good baseball player in action. I'm also a Kaz Matsui fan and I think in a few seasons he will be a pretty good player. If he remains on the Mets then I will root for them depending on who they face.

It's all about players. As it should be. I don't hate or like a team simply because it's "that team". I hate or like them depending on who they have on their roster. And as far as I know, the Yankees really don't have a bandwagon. You either love them or hate them. I happen to like them, for now. Three years from now it may change. It may not. Either way that does not stop them from reaching the World Series this year, reguardless of how the Red Sox have rallied in an amazing two games. All I know is that after watching that game and the finish of the Astros/Cardinals ... i'm glad I am an MLB fan. Two great games and it seems it's turning into two great series'.

One last thing - I am the type of person who likes seeing the BEST in the championship. Since before the playoffs started I wanted to see the Yankees/Cardinals match up as both teams were the best this year. And it should be the best. Not a flash in the pan like the Florida Marlins. The Astros I give more credit too as they actually have a good roster, pitching and hitting wise, and just had a terrible slump mid-way through the season. Otherwise they would have made the post season a lot easier than they did.

 

[undertaker3x7]

I agree with you alot Chup, although I do have my favorite teams, which I go for the most, but I do follow the teams that have my favorite players on them as well, and as long as their in a winning position I root for them, this is why I'm going for the Cards to win it all. Besides this year, I havnt followed baseball that much for close to 10 or 11 years, and although the Mariners are my favorite team, and always will be, they sucked this year. So down to the 4 teams left, the cardinals and even the Astros have the most players on their team that I like, so I go for them. But even though the Yankees have several players I like, I absolutely dispise them, and will never want them to win, no matter who is on their team, even if they got my favorite player, Ken Griffey Jr.

I agree with you alot Chup, although I do have my favorite teams, which I go for the most, but I do follow the teams that have my favorite players on them as well, and as long as their in a winning position I root for them, this is why I'm going for the Cards to win it all.

Haha. I'm with you with Seattle. I liked them back when Ken Griffey was playing for them. Once his injuries and trade got involved though I sorta stopped following. I'm glad Ichiro is over there now though. Hopefully he will entice some players to come over if they are offered the chance to do so. I would like to see the Mariners as a good team again. I'm also a Seahawks fan, although I don't care as much about any team in the NFL this season as I did last, but i'm not at Supersonics fan. Right now I don't know who to like in the NBA as I can't even come up with 5 players I like off the top of my head.

As for Ken Griffey. I was really disapointed that he got injured this season. It was nice to see him up there batting out homeruns again with that perfect swing of his ... I was really mad when he got injured again. Hard to expect anything else though...

Also bummed me out that Frank Thomas got injured as he was having a very good season and at least gave the White Sox a fighting chance. Without him at bat, that team really has no one. I'm not sure if anyone batted above .300 on the entire lineup this year. Paul Konerko had a very good season but I heard rumors about 3/4 of the way through that they were going to try and trade him.

Hopefully both come back in full health next season and are able to play for it's entirety.

Any person who roots for no teams but only players is missing the concept of baseball. When a team wins the World Series, do you only enjoy it 1/9th as much as you should, seeing as how 9 players field a championship team and not one? I can't see you actually being a fan if you're a fan of only the players. I don't know if that is even possible, let alone logical.

To players -and I still believe this-, the most important thing in their careers is not the money, for alot of them at least, but rather how well they can make their team become. It's ironic that the actual players are more involved in their respective team aspects of baseball, football, basketball, and the like, more than you are- and you're only watching.

A team is something that can always be rooted for, win or lose. It is as I have done with the Boston Red Sox my entire life. Sure, you may say that just because I am from Rhode Island (Red Sox country if there ever was one.. second to only Boston in fan support by population ratio, I'm sure), I am not entitled to root for the Red Sox any better than the next guy. Even still, I know I have a certain pride in rooting for the team I've rooted for my entire life, even without having a single hope of winning a world series in my life time if that silly curse thing has any legitimacy.

As for the Boston bandwagon fans, you're preaching to the converted. An old friend of mine showed up at school every day lately with a near-identical Boston Red Sox cap that I wear myself every day. You can imagine how much my pride seemed to be tainted, seeing as how at the beginning of the year, I was one of two kids at the school who wore one. Just goes to show how quickly people will change their votes for a team, and only if they're doing well.

I hate Boston converts more than Yankee converts. All of them "woke up" about getting behind the Red Sox later than they were entitled to. After all, where were they last year when the Red Sox faced their most humiliating defeat since Buckner's screw-up over 15 years ago?

I have no problem with converters or bandwagon people however I like when they can at least bring up some facts. I am a very stat-friendly fan. I follow stats, whether it be NFL, NBA, or MLB (especially baseball since they actually mean something). I just don't like when I bring up a game to someone who has a "Sox" or "Yankee" hat on and they were like "Yeah ... I watched some of the game, I didn't see the end" or they cant name anyone besides Pedro and Shilling or A-Rod and Jeter. Thats what I don't like.

As for following players I will make something a bit clearer than I did in my previous post. I do pull for teams, but it usually is because of the players on it and that usually lasts 3-4 years or so. I havn't stuck with a certain team in any sport because teams trade a lot now a days and I do go with the players. I have enjoyed the past 3 Yankee/Sox games mroe than I have any other sports program in the past few years. I was glued to my seat all of Game 4 and I sat there from 5:00 to 11:10 last night - watching every inning, every pitch, and every David Ortiz whack. Don't get me wrong - I was extremely sad and frusterated the Yankees didn't win but I was still in awe of how good a ball game it was. Best you can see. Plus right after that I got to watch the last inning of the Cards/Astros without having to worry about flipping channels. It was funny how that game almost ended before the Yankee/Sox game. It started 3 hours after it.

Christ. I'm typing this via a lagged ass computer in a class of mine - Double posted. So just ignore this.

Houston? Definitely not. They are by far the worst team in the CS.

By far? Yet they won a uncountable ammount of games at the end of the year to become 22 games over .500. That's better then the wild card last year, which btw won the world series.

They beat the Atlanta Braves, the 2nd best team in the NL.

They're by far the most horrific team in the CS. :roll:

Game 1 was excellent, the drunken orgy that had been going at my house throughout the first six innings abruptly stopped in the top of the seventh, and restarted in full force with Bernie's double that was really a triple but was called a double because umpires are assclowns. A similar game tonight would be an answered prayer.

Was that supposed to be funny, because it wasen't. If it wasen't suppose to be funny and was suppose to supply us with info, save it.

Now, I am, obviously, a Yankee fan.

Yes, drunk orgys around the house made that quite obvious .

my hope for the Yankee victory in the ALCS is not a selfish one. I pray for Boston's sake. You see, if the Yankees win this series, Red Sox fans will be pissed as usual, go home, cry about it, etc.,

And if the Yankee fans lose, they'll cry, and bitch about it for the rest of the year. Oh, you've only beaten them 100 times? Faggots.

Should the Red Sox win, however, and move on to the World Series, Boston will destroy itself.

Well you just might as well destroy yourself for making such a comment, because any true baseball fan knows that cannot be.

I have a great deal of friends in Boston, and I don't want to see them blown up because the Red Sox lost the World Series to the Cardinals.

I love how you New Yorkers cut out wild card teams like they're nothing.

Sure worked last year, didn't it?

Houston cannot beat the Cardinals,

Oh, is that right? Last time I check the Astros won the season series 10 out of 18 and were the only team in baseball to sweep the Cardinals, not once, but TWICE. Nice choice there.

the Cardinals have already won the NLCS,

Just like the Yankees "already won" the world series last year?

Don't get me wrong, the Yanks are my team, but St. Louis is damn good.

Any regular moron would have seen that in the standings. Thanks for explaining though.

I'm speaking strictly in terms of skill, and when I say my favorite team, I mean the team that is, in my opinion, the team I see as having the best chance of winning.

Just because a team has the best chance of winning dosen't mean it will.

I'm not saying they won't, they are good, but baseball is about magic, not the best team out there.

Now, assuming that St. Louis gets by Houston, and Boston gets by New York, than St. Louis will beat Boston.

Forget it, that you can rule out instantly.

However, a Yankees/Cardinals WS would be a whole different story. These are two teams with very similar methods of play,

Oh yeah.. very similar. Except the fact that the Yankees have one of the worse bullpens in baseball, while the Cardinals have the best I've EVER seen.

Mets in 05 I'm calling it.

You must be so proud to be the fan of a team that just beat the expos in the standings.

Ok, to end this I'd like to say I have nothing against raidenfighter, this isn't a flame war, but a debate over something I know alot about.

Let's see what you got, and anyone else who feels like they need to "jump in".

Holy dog shit. [Sarcasm]Definitely not a flame. Unh-unh. Nope, no cracks at me anywhere in there. Not a one.[/Sarcasm/

Okay, with that out of the way, I'll make a post in the vein that I'm sure you intended to make yours: without insulting you. Also, FYI, I don't much feel like making inane quote everything seperately bullshit responses, so bear with me as I respond to your in chronological paragraphs.

You first point is your worst point. You're telling me they have good stats when I said they were the worst team in the LCS? You should have brought up players instead of stats, as all three of the other teams in the LCS have considerably better win-loss percentages.

[Sarcasm]Holy crap, they beat the Braves! Because the Braves are always just spectacular in the post-season. They never suck more cock than Jenna Jaimeson on sextacy.[/Sarcasm]

Well you're not saying much in this next paragraph, beyond the feeble attempts at flames, and the extraneous "e" you put into the word "wasn't." Or is that "e" supposed to be funny? If it's not meant to be funny, and is instead supposed to supply is with info, save it, because it's not funny, and it's not informative.

One would think so, yes, drunken orgies do imply one is a Yankee fan. We get to have plenty of them, one after every victory. Can you imagine how many orgies I have? I'm assuming you can't especially not if you follow my "after wins" rule. Unless, of course, you're a Yankee fan. Then again, looking as bad as I'm sure you do, you probably don't get any even then . . . didn't I promise not to insult you? Yeah, disregard that, I plan to be pretty damn insulting now that I think about it.

Cry and bitch? What??? Don't you mean Boston will cry and bitch? That's what they do year after year, ain't it?

I know, I know, but jeez, a guy can give another team some credit, even if they do always choke. Jeez, yeah, because people cared about last years World Series. Even now, even outside of NY and Boston, I hear more people talking about the AlCS than the WS.

As for the Astros sweeping the Cards, it's looking pretty tough granted that the series is tied 2-2. Hell, at this point, I'd put everything I have on the line that the Astros don't sweep.

Oh yeah, Yankee pitching sucks. That's exactly what the ALCS has taught us. It's horrible.

Anywho, both the ALCS and NLCS are finally beginning to have some good games and I look forward to watching them. I also look forward to hearing about you killing yourself, 3292. Where'd the extra 2 come from anyhow?
