Bmr31 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 oh christ. you think the fans might be so bi-polar because the whole team is bi-polar? we beats the yankees by a combined 24-4 and four days later we are a few innings away from a 1-0 loss to detroit, another loss loaiza doesn't deserve, and losing a series to the tigers, a team that has more than 1/4 of all their wins against us? the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. Spiff, not what I wrote at all. Read it again, and read the game thread. A certain segment of the fans exhibit manic behavior with their utter despair and that is in today's game thread as well as in others. I have never made a comment on the team other that to praise our players for not being quitters as some of our fans accuse them of being, instead, I think some our fans are quitters. You are a good guy Spiff. Please read what I said more carefully. read the game thread and all too, carefully. I suspect a few posts were deleted by their authors because of the extreme negatvity and absolute certainly that we were losers because we were trailing by a run in the 5th and 6th inning of a team, and the comments that accompanied that. But read the thread carefully, that and threads like it is what I refer to, and I am far from the only person who ahs npoticed the extreme mood swings by some of our fans. And as good a student as you are, please do me the favor, whether you agree or disagree, of reading what I write with acuuracy. Your intelligent and informed comments, in agreement or disagreement, would be constructive and welcome for me. AKA OH MY GOD, one of the people who doesnt usually bash me, which is few and far between, is catching on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 that is a bulls*** "guess" to mask your usual personal insults and/or insinuations and it is bulls*** as you know. Don't pull the "I love the sox more than you" s*** on me. LOL!!!! Even when im EXTRA polite you go into your self pity act. I allow all the users of soxnet to view that and realize what i realize......as far as me caring more, I can guarantee it. LOL! Believe as you wish! Fantasy land is fun! Go with whatever makes yiou happy! And since you insulted 96% of all posters the other day - shall I pull that up, where you said 24 of 25 posters know nothing about baseball, whereas you did - why would you care what other posters think?

Spiff Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I know what you said, I understand what you said. The game threads get ridiculous with the roller coaster of emotions people go through. People watch sports differently. I used to be crazy when I watched sports, yelling and crap. I'm different now but I see why people are how they are. It doesn't really bother me. If these people weren't fans they wouldn't have been here in April, May, June when the Sox seemed hopeless. Most of the time I'll just avoid the game threads altogether. I read some of it today, and I posted once or twice. But I don't take it seriously. It's just people getting their emotions out, whether it's frustration or happiness. I like that people care enough to get pissed. Other people have different methods for dealing with losing. And I hope you didnt take what as I said as thinking you don't love the Sox as much as anyone else. We're all dedicated or else we wouldn't show up everyday.

Bmr31 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 CW when you go to games do you cheer and boo? Some people are just more vocal i guess. You shouldnt mix it up with bandwagoning or not caring. trust me, like spiff said, i wouldnt come to this site if i didnt have a DEEP passion for the sox. The "friends" ive met on the site i talk to on PMs so its not a social thing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You insult the people who post here - yet you come at me for saying some are manic depressive and excessively negative in game threads but I do not challenge or question anyone's love of the Sox nor their knowledge of baseball - that is your province. As well, you are the master of the personal attack by which you exalt yourself and put down 96% of the people who post here, or put yourself out as the only person who sees truth wher others miss it, or put yourself out as the suffering martyr who will be attacked for seeing the truth no one else does.

Honestly in my opinon, you dont have to be an expert of the game to be a true fan. The measure is how much you care and i can tell ya without fear, that if or when the sox are eliminated this year, my eyes will water.

Spiff, this is a good post and says, I think in a differing manner, what I was saying. that you feel the need to just avoid the game threads altogether is sad, for on soxtalk we shouldn't have to do that, and that was a point I sought to make. I never thought that you were questioning my or anyone's fan-ness, I know you far better than that as a class person. By the way, I found my UMass hat today - it is in the drawer with my special hats. It was a gift from Mass friends for the NCAA year, and also have a beautiful UMass sweatshirt that is more like a sweater than a shirt - high quality fan gear, as far as what I have!

Spiff Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Well you already own more UMass stuff than I do But if you want to keep up with the Joneses, you'll have to get something with the new pissed off minuteman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, bmr, when you speak, or type, its tainted with paranoia and defensiveness, and denial. Good night. I have no more time - I need to go to bed while as Neil Young says, rust never sleeps. And anyone with 121 posts already (almost 100% more than anyone else) today plus the pms with all your friends is surely here for a social life.

Now there ios a question that can only lead to salacious and amazing answers. Spiff, I have a question for you totally off topic, wioll email you tomorrow, going to bed now - and I hope you are watching the Bobby Bowden tv special tonight (on Fox sports?) starting at midnight.

IlliniBob72 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Just got done browsing through the game thread. Good Lord! I understand being passionate about your team, but people need to get a grip. Declaring them dead in the third and fourth innings? Down by 1??? I hope all the sharp objects are locked away when the game is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
