That would be bad sportsmanship.

Thing is the writing was clearly on the wall from the get-go. All of this was so very predictable.

You thinking there was no injury risk alone shows how ignorant you are here.

Again... I don't think that word means what you think it means. Another question you probably won't answer: what was the exact conclusion I made? And where did I admit I was trolling? Anytime you call someone out for something bogus, it's "trolling" now? I targeted the two people guilty of what I accused them of. Who the hell else would I Target? What are you even talking about?

Spot on.

But I'm sure he didn't mean to hit him!

I didn't assume anything. I believe my example was fine. You won't even say whether you agree with me or not about the other poster. With that mindset, no one ever has to take accountability. It's cowardly. Still wondering why you keep responding to post the same long winded red herring over and over again but still can't just answer the question. Because there is no "agreement" or "disagreement," there is simply someone who made an absurd conclusion and you don't want to admit it. No, I don't need your validation; you mistake me. I'm just forcing you into a corner and letting you expose yourself because I just simply don't let people get away with this kind of stuff. You can answer the question, keep responding to me without answering the question, or stop responding to me, whichever you choose. Either is fine with me because either way you lose. If you aren't working towards a logical conclusion then there is no point to an argument in the first place.

What came first, the saddle or the horse? If I did that, you're saying you would answer the question? Predicating answering a question honestly on someone answering another question is stupid. It's childish game playing. Who am I attacking? The person who made a bullshit grab and the person who won't admit that that's what it was. Quite justifiably. But again, it was merely an example to quash a fantasy and you overanalyzed it and ran away with the herring.

Reminds me of Maddon trying to win WS MVP for the Indians in 2016.

My Lord, it's like the living embodiment of the Onion of baseball.

All these walls of text but you couldn't and can't answer a simple yes or no question. (And still can't, because it would invalidate your posts) You keep staying fixated on my example because you just can't acknowledge the premise was correct. Amd my example was simply for perspective and was absolutely fine anyway.. You really took the red herring and sprinted away with it.

It's definitely something Chicago sports do well. Ventura, Ricky and now TLR. Maybe we can dig up Jim Leyland out of retirement. Or maybe Billy Martin. Or would those actually be better options?

It is uncanny the ability this organization has for making the fans hate the next manager worse than the previous one after thinking it couldn't get any worse.

I can't even understand his angle here. Is he legitimately trying to sabotage this team? Being an old, out of touch fuck I expected. But throwing his own players under the bus and not defending them for doing NOTHING wrong? This is fucking unreal.

You could see this coming a mile away the second he was hired.

Missed it. How did it play out? No real questions or did he just dodge them?

Do you really not comprehend how those things affect the team, and their ability to win? You're the definition of a casual fan.

Are you 12 years old?

Fucking fire this old fart right now. Cut your losses. Put your pride aside and stop punishing the players for your mistake from decades ago. FFS. Motherfucker won't even stand up for his own guy because he... actually hit a baseball? What is going on.

How the hell is pointing out a bad argument trolling? And how is using an example to support it, EVEN IF IT WAS WRONG, trolling? You don't have a clue what trolling is. The fact you will not admit the person who made a claim based on 1/4th of a season was wrong is what is trolling. You sound like a boomer who just heard that word for the first time and now can't stop using it even though you don't even know what it means. At this point it's clear you are both biased against me and a liar. You lost the argument the second you failed to answer a simple question. It's really weird how admins can't call things both ways on this forum out of personal bias.

What about his gotcha? Wow, it would really kill you to just admit my saying his gotcha was dumb was correct, wouldn't it? Mine wasn't a "gotcha." Telling someone who claims 2 + 2 = 5 he is wrong isn't a "gotcha," it's a correction. I used an example to simply further cement the point. No, instead you have to fixate yourself on semantics due to a personal bias. I'd even go for "you both were being dumb" but I don't think we're even gonna get that, huh? Sorry, your final answer was the wrong one. Don't ever call me a fucking troll when you can't answer a yes or no question because you can't give someone validation over personal bias. It's pathetic. If you had any integrity you'd acknowledge what he said was wrong, not just go after me.

I asked you a yes or no question and you won't answer it. You don't want a discussion, Otherwise you would have answered the question by now. Keep lying and protecting. Yes or no, sir? Is looking for a gotcha 1/4 of the way through the season sensible?

You haven't answered yes or no yet. That says everything. I didn't "frame" anything. I said why it was dumb to attempt a gotcha right from the get go and you won't even acknowledge that that occurred and that it was dumb to do that because you needed to solely attack me. Sorry, but you know you're being intellectually dishonest and exposed yourself. And now you're projecting. Answer the damn question if I'm wrong. Just fucking answer it.

I see you are still active and posting but of course you won't answer the simple question. Because you are just looking for a reason to bash me, even by playing stupid. And that is exactly what you are doing. You knew the point I was making. Otherwise you would answer the question, which would mean acknowledging that I am correct and that your posts towards me were nothing more than a bad troll attempt. Funny how putting everything to a simple yes or no always exposes a troll and gets him to shut up.

Why are you being so intellectually dishonest? Are you seriously going to deny that what I said in the first paragraph is correct? Yes or no? Simple question.
