Steve, am I the only one completely confused right now?  I'm confused way to much. :chair  :bang

I am not confused in the least bit, I just don't see the whole point of this. Every team has flaws, and every team has strengths. Reesdi is looking past weaknesses it seems. The Cubs will be right handed completely. Good ole Corey Patterson is the only lefty who is a regular. Walker could play some too. They have too many two hitters and too many clean-up hitters. They have no relief and inconsistent and unhealthy starting pitching, but hell, they got Nomar so we should just give them the WS crown right now. I watched the Cardinals game tonight, and they looked damn good. And, did I mention we got Jose Contreras......

lol.  Wait a 2nd.  I know who this is.  This has got to be Brando.  Nobody on a White Sox board jocks the Cubs the way you do.  Do you want me to pull up some old threads of you saying the Cubs had the division on LOCK?  This was like 2 months ago.  And here you are again,  except this time it's the Cubs have the wc on lock.  lol

Oh man, nice pick up there Jordan. Well if it is Brando I guess we're going to have to prove him wrong again when it comes to the flubs. :ph34r: :lolhitting

Why'd Brando get suspended?

I think it was for asking Critic if he was a *****, ***, or both(sorry if I'm supposed to censor those...if so, a mod or admin can just change them for me...I figure if I'm not calling anybody them it's OK) in the 25th anniversary of the Disco Demolition Night thread.

I swear to god that's Brando. Look at the writing style. Who else on this site jocks the Cubs the way he does? Now he's backtracking and saying he's not a Sox fan. lol. Then why are you on a sox board? Nice try Brando. Go back to northsidebaseball.com

You should be slapped for saying that.

Yes, he should slapped with a banning. If Beastly was shown no mercy during his 5 month suspension, the least our fine moderating team could do was with hold Brandos meager 30 day slap on the wrist.

 

I told myself something immediately after posting earlier in this thread. If Reesdi were NOT Brando, a moderator would surely make a valiant attempt to prove it. Not exactly a name you'd wish to draw similarities with. Whether claiming the IP addresses were different, or simply stating their opinion (as I'm doing), I expected a rebuttal. NOT ONE has surfaced during the 13 hours since Jordan's first post. Is it possible in this time frame not one moderator/administrator viewed this tread? Certainly a possibility, but in an attempt to build a conspiracy theory all information is spinned to validate my point.

 

My conclusion: Brandofan was given the opportunity to start fresh under a new name; as Beastly did last September. Difference being Beastly quietly posted among Soxtalk for nearly a month (before his discovery), while Comrade Brando couldn't lay low for more than ONE DAY. Guess when you write like a poetic douchebag you're easy to pinpoint. :D

 

Don't take my comments to harshly Brando. You're still my guy, but you simply ignored all rules of secrecy/obscurity/concealment tought by your homeland. Today, the mother land cries tears of Vodka. Not that its unusual to drink heavily in Russia, but seriously you poorly hid your identity.

Anyway. rolleyeyes.gif

 

Marlins have a well under .500 record since late April, and just lost a stud starter.

 

Don't look now but 'Frisco is already buckling.

 

Padres are the only ones in the way right now, and the last time the teams met Cubs swept them in San Diedo. Without Wood or Prior making a start. Macias and Barret basically beat the Padre ass. When both teams are in full strenght, there is absolutely no question which team is superior. If you know a damn thing about baseball, anyway.

 

As for division, Cubs were way too banged up (hell, Sox tank after Big Hurt can't get on base for them anymore - and you got near half the Cub squad down at various points) from the very beginning, and Cardinals got on a major streak where everything went right and half the players overachieved -- ala the 2000 Sox -- and never looked back. s*** happens. Especially in baseball.

 

Fortunately, there's is always a WC - just ask Marlins and Angels. ;)

 

Now that Cubs are playing their best players, it would be very hard to stop them down the stretch. That includes postseason. Anything is possible of course, but the odds baby - the ODDS! :headbang

I want to answer this.

 

Just because we aren't running around talking about stuff out loud doesn't mean we aren't looking into this. Yes it was obvious that the posting styles were incredibly similar. But that alone isn't reason enough to take action against a poster. Until we had real proof that reesdi and Brando were the same person, we couldn't take action, just in case they were really different people.

 

Well after a little work and research, I found the proof and the situation has been rectified.

 

As for the comparision between posters suspensions... The 5 months suspension Beastly recieved wasn't his first disipline he recieved. I wasn't an admin during this time, so someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it was his 3rd suspension. IIRC He also created a fake name to post under which is what really got him in trouble. Brando is going to receive his just deserts for doing the samething.

 

And finally if you don't believe we are doing something when there is a problem, send one of us a PM or email. Sometimes we don't see everything, or we might not see it quick enough. Even if you don't like or feel comfortable with someone, send it to another one of us. Something will get done about it, even if it just to send you back a reply to explain what is going on. If you have anymore you want to talk about or ask, feel free.

Can someone explain to me why everyone is saying that the Dodgers are the big losers in all of this?

 

I realize they lost the best set-up man in baseball, and a great clubhouse leader, but they also gained another clubhouse leader plus a great bat (Finley), the perfect 'Moneyball' guy in Hee Seop Choi (high OBP, high OPS), and they gained not a number 5 starter, more like a number 2 in Penny. Penny has just dominated this year, IIRC, doesn't he have something like a 3.15 ERA? That's awesome, and he's going to a pitchers park at LA.

 

Someone want to argue this?

I think people think that because they never got a catcher back to replace lo duca. ;)
