Your biggest problem is you cannot let yesterday go which is a big part of being on a message board. You want to keep reminding people about what they might of said months ago and how you are some kind of genius who knows everything. Being a fan is a lot about emotion and when fans get angry they lash out. Have you ever listened to sports talk radio after a tough loss? It's a long marathon season with plenty to talk about but your motive seems to be rehashing the past and instigation. Plenty of us have continued to try and engage you in thoughtful and meaningful conversation. Everything was going rather smoothly the last couple of weeks until you felt the need completely out of the blue to call everyone who is not in love with Cashman jerks. Now you're on to criticizing anyone who made a different prediction about the team. This idea that you somehow feel that you're better than everyone is pretty comical. I've concluded you have no purpose here except to remind everyone about how smart you think you are. Yes, you were ignored by folks who simply didn't want to deal with it anymore. Instead of lashing out at others at this point look at yourself in the mirror. It's not like I haven't told you very similar things several times over the past month.
I remember a few years when study of immediate game box scores was washed out by time and distance. Myself US Army 1963-1986, and I salute both your and your contemporaries service to our country. Take care of your self, come home safe.
He comes off sounding like he's the ONLY one that wants to see players & the team succeed. His prediction of the Yankees winning 90 games & A-Rod doing well is a constant reminder. Many of us here thought closer to 82-85 wins & that A-Rod was going to fail. He (blg) took this to mean that that's what we wanted. NEWSFLASH! we're as happy as you are that both the Yankees & A-Rod are doing well. Now if you can just do without the chest beating things might be okay. Remember.......we're fans also.
Exactly! I'm thrilled that they're leading the race and giving us a fun season. We shall see what happens but none of us are hoping they lose.
Presently playing at that 85 win level....struggling to get past +10 in the win column. I too am glad ARod is performing as it helps the team. He's still a piece of shit. I'm also happy to see Tex finally pull out of the OPS nosedive of 2008 to 2014. Few guys ever get out of a pronounced downturn like that. Pitching is staying healthy, knock on wood. So far they are beating my expectations....but the dog days are upon us, it'll be a good measure of their heart to win.
I literally just snorted food out through my nose from that one... tell you what... this cucumber dill salad sauce really burns coming out the nose (cayenne in the sauce)... But well worth it
Mess, on the contrary, I believe I am no more "guilty" of not letting yesterday go than the vast majority of the average/regular poster on this board with Cashman - Drew - CC - Yankee ownership - the Yanks' "relying" too much on the HR - being the main CONSTANT repetitive complaints/topics while the Yankees have been in the process of have having a "pretty good" season thus far and certainly better than alot of people expected. In fact, I think I've been more normal, stable and sensible than a few of those others when it comes to appraising and evaluating this Yankee team If you or any other observer of this board who doesn't happen to be one of those who CLEARLY have offered much more criticism than praise or compliments for this team, you may recognize and/or admit all the top heavy, much negativity and dissatisfaction being said about the team and org can and may be thought of by AT LEAST ONE observer/poster as being kinda inappropriate or in general slanted too often in the wrong direction since it has been continuing since APRIL 23 when the Yanks took over 1st place and have either been in first place for 54 days or no further than 1.5 games out of first place for another 21 days. Lol,....jeez, now that I take another look at those numbers, ....I should really be having a nice big laugh but instead I find it puzzling and sorta weird......no, it is hilarious! "Cashman this"....." Cashman that"......"Drew this and that"..."CC this and that"...."Cashman's plan"......LMAO. Makes me want to blow a big fart and tell them all- LOOK WHO'S IN FIRST PLACE. Now stop making fools of yourselves and wait AT LEAST until the Yanks start fading from the race to continue the constant barrage of anti-Cashman stuff and the causes of the Yankees' failure to contend. And I'm well aware of the concept of IMPROVING a team. I'm also proud to say I use the words "I agree" in replies to more different posters just as often and probably more often than most on this board. I don't believe I'm always right and I HAVE, and WILL criticize Yankee players and the GM but I'm kinda putting it near the bottom of my priorities for the time being until if or when "they" actually personally drag this team out of contention- and it aint happening right now. If you REALLY want to delve further into it....you may find at least one or two other posters who find fault more often with a couple of others and are quicker to lash out with personal insults while also giving ME the impression they think THEY are always "right". I realize some may feel I'm more optimistic or homerific than other Yankee posters...that's fine with me...but I have also actually said more than once (although I've said from early on I feel the Yanks are just as good if not better than any other A.L East team) there's still time enough left in this season for the Yanks to possibly finish in last place. More than two months to go.....Not impossible for the Yanks to lose more games than the current last place team going forward from now, maybe due to injuries...whatever. And what did I hear in return from the usual suspects (lol)...? I was "back tracking" and "talking out of both sides of my mouth" when in fact I was merely recognizing and respecting the ebb and flow of the long season and all the things which can wrong for a team in the final two and a half months........yet I'm called a blind "homer". I do believe the Yanks are, and will be in good shape but I am NOT a blind homer who thinks things will always be rosey. I can't seem to "win" or be right about ANYTHING with a certain couple of mean spirited posters on this board. They have their opinions, and I have mine. Sometimes I side step it....but sometimes I owe them a piece of my mind just as they feel the same way. I have been wrong on some things, we all have...."we" can go over them if you'd like...but not until some other "Mr. Know It All" cares to prove he's never wrong.
Again, and I can make it short and sweet. A few weeks ago we had some negative issues on the board that came to a head. It took some doing and apologizing on my part to settle things down. Since that time the vibe here was very positive. Then put of nowhere you're calling everyone jerks. For what reason? Because of Brian Cashman? There was zero reason or justification for what you did. It just sent things back in a negative direction. It's very frustrating. If you cannot move on from the past like everyone else has tried to do. Then I don't know what to tell you.
