michelangelosmonkey Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Haha...just came over to read some positivity about a REALLY fun team that has an amazing future and I see it's been hijacked by Ragah telling everyone they are stupid and wrong and the team is probably headed for disaster. We just went into Minnesota...without Jimenez, Abreu, Robert and Engel and we beat them two out of three and they were lucky to win one. The good times are here...rejoice...and yes the bad times may be ten minutes down the road but for now best record in baseball tastes pretty good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Watching the mindlessly negative, smarmy off-season posters flail and backpedal may not be as fun as watching the Sox, but it’s at least the 20th best thing about this season.

Expand There is a solid consistency of people who come at me claiming I said things I never did. There are a lot of intelligent posters here. There are also a slew of people who apparently are incapable of reading comprehension and have to mischaracterize arguments to create an imaginary leg to stand on. @southsider2k5 also, as expected, once again failed to answer simple yes or no questions because he cannot admit my criticism was correct. That's bias, something I do not show. You ask me a question, I'm not going to be a coward and hide. Once someone poses a direct question to you and you fail to answer and then have to try to ask counter-questions to make yours seem to take precedence... you lost the argument. Fucking period. A lot of people seem to just want to argue just to argue around here. Excuse the shit out of me for wanting it to actually go somewhere and make sense.

Cleveland has really good pitching right now. Being "the favorite" means shit. How many times have we been "the favorite" only to not make the playoffs at all? Like I said before, some of you clearly have never watched the White Sox before. They have proved nothing so far. Expand Only 1/4 of the way through the season but “probably” not too early to say Minnesota’s habit of playing better than the Sox won’t continue this season... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said weeks ago that the Sox were the better team this season even without Robert and Eloy. You were on the Twins bandwagon early this season as well (“don’t count them out, they’re not buried yet etc”). Time to nail that coffin shut or do we need to wait until they’re officially eliminated to bury them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand One of their better known followers Aaron Gleeman posted the other day that a team that had lost 25 of their first 38 had never made playoffs. Obviously 2nd WC changes this a bit but they are in dire straights. They aren't quite dead but they are one foot in the grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Doesn't really matter, the point should have been received. At the very least the person I was arguing with could have acknowledged that the poster that prompted my response was being ridiculous, but too many people would rather play childish games. "I think you were wrong about something so I won't say you were right about something."

Expand I guess the idea that an example simply reminding people that anything can happen can register in people's minds without having to rack their brains with overanalysis and intellectual dishonesty and then become childish trolls is a pipe dream. ?♂ Better to play dumb and argue semantics in order to hold stupid grudges rather than just say, "I understand your point." Holy fuck, that is just SO hard to do! I mean, these people can't even do it after it has been explained. Childish garbage. The amount of people saying stupid shit on this site and then having a coronary over a post making an OBVIOUS point because they disagree with the way it was made is staggering.
