Who do you think you are?

Why is it that the last two posts I looked at on BCB were followed by a smart comment from you. You made a smart comment on a troop’s fanSHOT from Afghanistan (don’t know if it’s spelled right but don’t care).

Are you really that miserable and lonely that you police BCB? If you didn’t think there was a point to this click out of it and go to the next one. Obv. there were enough people to see a point to recommend it.

That last sentence was so unnecessary…..why do you have to mock the guy creating the fan post? See how that works, ak123?

I encourage you and others that have a problem with my posts to email Al with your complaints. But do me a favor….read the fanposts for “Top 20 players of all time” and “Rickets won’t allow more payroll” along with this thread first, and tell me what your definition of “unnecessary” is. And you be sure and report those offenders, too. Because this “pile on” of me is beyond ridiculous.

Unless you’re trying to “save BCB” from sarcastic, unnecessary posts one poster at a time. Which, I’d say, you got quite the workload ahead of you. Why you chose me before more obvious offenders I have no idea. But now’s the time to just STFU about it.

Thanks for looking up my posts!

I have a fan!

The point of me saying that was simply because it was BS and we know it.

Just like the guy stated the Mets would trade certain players because it’s been said in the media in NY. Guess what, I live in CT which means I hear all the NY media on TV/Radio and that was BS.

My stance when reading things on here is that you never know who might pop on Al’s site. You shouldn’t be dropping potentially false info on here. I know I’m not the only one who works in the entertainment industry with TV -- I just hope no one is dumb enough to site a forum as “news” when reporting anything.

Nah, didn't have to look it up...

….it was one of threads that have popped up since Bricks and Ivy decided to call me out on my “unnecessary” comment. Just fell into my lap.

The point of me saying that was simply because it was BS and we know it.

And this thread didn’t have a point, so I made my comment “And your point is?”. And the Gallagher post was 5 days old, so I made a comment “Old News, Buddy”. And I always make a comment (usually, an “ahem, read my sig”) when I’m in a gamethread and people are talking about their fantasy team is being affected by a game other than the current Cubs one. Just a pet peeve.

3 offhand comments, all less than 4 words long. Not a tirade. Not calling a person an idiot. But, all of a sudden, it’s “Let’s pile on Carmen Fanzone”? That’s bullshit. And normally, I’d laugh it off, but considering the “normalcy” of these type of comments by a LOT of other posters (especially in this thread) and then for you 4 to zone in on me? Give me a fucking break.

Is there a link,

or is this your guess? Because I would think the only way Fox gets in there is with Soriano of Aram out. I would guess they’re not throwing him in right. Also, gotta keep Kosuke in the lineup.

if one of Fox/Hoff is going to play RF it would probably be Hoff for the matchup

the plan is to put Fox out in RF this evening.

But ya can’t really sit the “red hot” Soriano tonight. And Lou is in the process of working with Gameboard on his hitting, which serves as a nice oppo to get Fox’s bat back in there tonight. I have faith in the Foxxy one.

Having Nutdrinkingamp12 batting first, since his power seems to be a little weak.
Angryandy is more suited to bat second since he is only good for stirring the pot.

Sox fan, professional Rammarian.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

So waitaminute...let's compare:

nutdrinking’s lineup:
RJ, Theriot, DLee, Aramis,Fox, Soriano, Fontenot, Hill, Lilly.

Actual lineup:
Dome, Theriot, DLee, Aramis, Hoffpauir, Soriano, Fontentot, Hill, Lilly.

Close, but I’m still declaring a FAIL.
