    And note that citing stats as tangible evidence doesn't count when you cherry pick data that best supports your feelings.

    Look, we all have hunches, gut feelings as well as hopes/aspirations. But everyone here freely accepts the fact that we have imperfect data and insufficient evidence upon which to support our positions. Thus we do not characterize our OPINION as fact. We may cite observations, limited stats to explain the basis of our opinions....but that is it. You take it way too far, and too personal. That should underscore for you that you use FEELING as the basis and not FACT.

    Being optimistic and hopeful, that's what fans do. But so is being critical...that also is the realm of fandom. You have to accept that these 2 states must coexist. 2015 has been an interesting year thus far. To everyone's surprise, and to your hopes, ARod continues to produce as one of the better DHs the Yanks have had in years. Tex is healthy and hitting for power in lieu of AVG. Gardner and Ellsbury (when heavy) are a potent 1-2.

    But.....pitching is suspect. Pen a combination of brilliance and total junk. Defense is awful at times, too many errors. DiDi and Drew are horrid, and the fact is that Cashman's moves in the off season were a mistake as things stand today.

    So, stop trying so hard to justify your FEELINGS. They stand on their own better if you don't try to rationalize them or try to convince others.

    Good luck.

    I know BJ made it popular but I thought someone else did it first? You're probably right. I figured some redneck from Arkansas might know.

    Why are you so worked up about the way I care to express my opinion- which it clearly was?
    Are you sure you read my post (#15)?....it was my second time explaining MY OPINION on that issue after you asked, twice.

    Let me ask you a question:

    Would it have made it easier or less "CONTROVERSIAL" if I had originally said something along the lines of: ?

    The Yankees would prefer having another starter in place of Warren so they can use him (Warren) for the 6/7th innings.

    Maybe, possibly, perhaps, you may have possibly, perhaps, maybe responded with:
    Based on what?
    I disagree....
    I agree.....


    Or not responded at all.

    And if, possibly, maybe, perhaps you responded with:
    Based on what?

    I would've said something "CONTROVERSIAL" such as -
    "that's just a feeling I have"....."Just my opinion".

    Now can we stop walking around in circles?


    Lmao

    "The Yankees can't wait to move Warren to the bullpen"

    "Really, how do you know this?"

    "I have a feeling"

    "based on what?"

    "Just a feeling"

    "Again, based on what"

    " The Yankees wouldn't mind"

    "how do you know this?"

    "Its just a feeling"

    "based on what?..................................never mind.......................FUCK IT!!

    blg I tried to calm the waters with you on several occasions in the past but you just have this gift for irritating the crap out of others. Maybe its intentional or maybe you just can't help yourself but whatever the case is, you're just embarrassing yourself & you really just need to stop. PLEASE!

    What are you basing this on...?

    Your personal feelings regarding a harmless post by me saying:
    The Yankees can't wait to put Warren in the bullpen.
    ?

    Or maybe this was your idea of "calming the waters" -

    "clean up on isle 5 blg slipped in his own shit again". (post '28)



    Grab a hold of yourself. Will ya?

    ...after having the same thing conveyed to him by multiple people on this board he still insists that it's others, and not him who has the problem
