Twice is nice- just for you. ..it's funny that just 3 games ago when the Yanx were 3-6 you insisted that it didn't really mean much because it was still "early"... but now, that they are 6-6 it's no longer "early" and it does mean something?...and so you felt compelled to create a thread fellating the Yanx and also calling out other posters? ...how does that twisted logic work?[/QUOTE --------------------------------------- Did I NOT say in the first post: "Yeah yeah, I know it's early, but If we can evaluate after 5 games, why not after 12 games"! So what the heck is YOUR problem? Hypocritical? Nah. And I seem to remember the "Through 5" (April 12) thread I also commented: (post22) Wow, you guys seem very anxious to fulfill all of your off season dire predictions. Five games is five games, and we're not talking about 5 pivotal games in late September. The team HAS played shoddy ball on the field and if this continues along with the current rate of errors, allowing unearned runs and averaging 3.4 runs per game.....then I WILL SAY there's a good chance they'll lose 90-ish games and finish in the basement. Most of "you" didn't have much of a problem throwing a wet blanket on the Yanks BEFORE they even completed their first two series of the season yet you have no problem jumping all over me as the Yanks have kinda made good strides 7 game later. YEP, it's still very early, but if we're willing to make definitive judgments after FIVE games, why the hell are "you" giving me such a hard time? Don't worry, I'm well aware of my expectations for the Yanks...and I don't hide otherwise. Its only baseball talk.....but I must admit, sometimes you CAN tell a little something about people's intellectual dishonesty and prejudices through harmless baseball talk.
Its amazing what posts you avoid, which one's you respond to & which ones you find the need to bring back from the dead after several days. It really is a miracle that you haven't at the least dislocated your shoulder with all the patting you do on your own back. Sadly through a VERY selective memory. You seriously might want to consider finding another forum to display your utter stupidity And your constant self indulgence is sickening. I do want to thank you though for your daily comic relief, it is the one thing you actually do well. Keep em laughing Bob.
After 12 games last year 6-6, One game out of first place, run differential minus 6 After 12 games this year, 6-6, One game out of first place, run differential plus 8... They've also scored 18 more runs at this point compared to last year. Encouraging.....certainly better than crying the blues being 3 games out after FIVE games.
Know what's funny, your need to sing the blues after the first FIVE games....talk about the need for attention! Lmao Comedy indeed....I'm trying to find a reason to pat you on the back......maybe you can repeat how many games you expect the Yanks to win. That would be nice.
...3rd time, sorry you didn't get the answer you were looking for...guess you'd rather not talk about it...it's OK...I can certainly understand why. ...laughable that you keep pointing to people gauging this team after "the first five games" as if that's when the doubts began. The fact is that it actually started well before the season even began...but you already knew that, didn't you?
...lol...if the records are identical, the run differential or the number of runs scored doesn't really matter, does it?
You really need help...........I know your ability to comprehend things really sucks but try to pay attention here. Hey it may even help if you read R E A L L Y, R E A L L Y SLOOOOOOW. Here goes, After 5 games I posted the averages of the starting players & I made the observations that the team was leading the league in errors & had a 199 team batting average & a 290 OBP. Now I guess in your world that would be considered SINGING THE BLUES. But with normal people it wouldn't be. But I'll just chalk this up to Bob being Bob. And laugh along with everyone else. Continuing along with your comedic mentality you suggest that maybe I can repeat how many games the Yankees will win. This coming from a guy who repeats the same dumb arguments over & over & over & CONSTANTLY brings up how the team will win 90 or more games. As comical as I find the fact that you appear to be really starved for attention you may want to remember this, "Sometimes its better to remain silent & have others just THINK you're an idiot, then to open up your mouth & remove all doubt". I've never seen anyone in more need of this advice than you.
After 5 games. lol So , how many games do you think this bunch of Cashman trash will win? Or are you just hanging on the fence waiting to beat your chest in either case?
Okay its official.................................................................................................................you've removed all doubt.
Okay, I'll play along. If a team can somehow manage to make the playoffs with a minus run differential, more power to them....but it better be a miniscule difference. How many teams qualified for the playoffs last year with a minus run differential? Just curious.
...uhhh...how many teams somehow managed to qualify for the playoffs last year with a .500 record, dumbass?...again, other than you, who places more value on run differential than wins? ...the Yanx' meaningless current +8 run differential is a purely skewed result from a lopsided and anomalous 14-4 win over the Sox and a 9-0 win over the Rays...but you knew that too, didn't you?
