Jake Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) It was interpreted as you stating PK doesn't know the rules because you posted PK doesn't know the rules. Wondering why he didn't step on the bag is not the same as saying that if you asked PK what the rule is that he wouldn't know. It's like saying that I think Paulie doesn't know how to work an at bat because I criticized his poor at bats lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you do find it, do me the courtesy of actually providing the context in which I posted it for once. Its 10 at night and I finished with my articles. My work day is done.

If he was, why did he not touch or tag the base? Is saying he could be aware of the rules the same as saying he does not know the rules? Clearly not the same. You have a terrible understanding of the english language. Edited June 23, 2012 by iamshack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 01:55 AM) Buster Olney just tweeted that apparently baseball execs think we are the favorites for Youk. So I guess we'll overpay with our best 2-3 minor leaguers and we'll have to sob as Mitchell or whomever else excel with Boston and Youk hits .220 for us. It's called Murphy's Law, Sox style. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:10 AM) FYI, Sandusky guilty on 45 counts. Thank God! I was worried when jury asked to re-hear some testimony. Go to jail, you sicko bum! QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:15 AM) Crain-wreck Awesome headline. I've never liked Crain; just another hack reliever who angers me the last 3-4 seasons. Add him to the list. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:34 AM) Konerko needs to sit until his wrist is healthy. Absolutely terrible performance by him of late. True dat. He's hurt. SIT HIM. We don't need an unhealthy Paulie out there. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:42 AM) Sox are GREAT at 2 things.............Losing 1-0............Losing extra inning games. Hey, we had a walk-off win not so long ago. We get one of those every 2 years it seems. Ha ha. Sox lose at home again to another lousy NL team. Our team is really really s*** right now.

Yeah I was told I have a terrible understanding of the English language when I was hired as a Sports Writer. The best part of that paragraph is you start to say he isnt but then say that doesnt mean the samething. Sort of trying to hit both points to cover your bases. Clever but futile.

I eat sports writers for breakfast. There is a clear distinction in saying someone is not aware of something and saying they don't know something. If he was aware of the rule at that moment, I ask you again, why did he not just step on or tag the base? I made a play very similar to that one in the second grade where I knew I could just touch the base with my glove instead of trying to step on the bag or tag the runner. It would have been nice had PK done the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) No, I may have said that in jest after you and your sidekick came to the infallible one's rescue, but I clearly asked several times why he didn't step on the bag. You made excuse after excuse for him until you realized you were wrong. Then of course you turned my comments into something they were not, in an effort to save face. What new? QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 08:06 PM) I would have really liked this to be a 1-1 game. If only our 3rd baseman could throw to 1st.

I have no idea why he didnt step on the bag is the point. Neither do you. Its just an assumption to say he is unaware of the rules. Which is what I have been saying from the start.

Well what would your suggestion be, Baron? That he didn't want to get the out? That he wants to lose games? That he is getting paid on the side to make ridiculously stupid plays? The only possible answer is that it did not occur to him that he could do that, because he was damn sure looking at him when he ran 3-feet around the bag.

How anyone could ever think you posted anything close to Paulie not knowing the rules is crazy. I apologize. Seriously? It's the most basic rule he should know. If the runner has not yet touched first, I can touch the base rather than tag him. Give me a break. Ozzie Guillen...he never managed to teach PK the rules...

You both can't seem to answer why if he knew that he could touch the base, and that was clearly the most obvious and simple way to record the out after he missed the tag, why did he choose run right past it in an effort to tag the player on the OTHER SIDE of it? Seriously, do you have that much reverence for this guy that you would go to these lengths to defend him? So he had a brain fart...big deal...lost us the game. It happens. And btw, if you are going to quote s***, why don't you quote all the things I said? Instead of just pulling things out of context to suit your ridiculous fantasy.

It's pretty obvious that the rest of the board doesn't care to wade through this nonsense, so why don't you try to withhold your anal retentive and vindictive side to a minimum, whenever possible.
