Jumping for joy in the winning thread.

saw your ‘nice’ comment about me in yesterday’s game thread – even though I hadn’t posted in several days. I’ve never said the team is ‘expletive.’ And even if I did it is hardly grounds for you or more likely drew filing a complaint with Al to have me banned from the site. It’s an open forum, I didn’t insult anyone and ever since that complaint was levied. Regardless, mission accomplished. I would love however to go back to May when some of us were observant enough to post that this team had major problems and were blasted for our insights and that the season was only “XX%” complete. Is the season complete enough for you now?
Maybe we should all lighten up and just enjoy the last few weeks of baseball....
…and hope we never see Aaron Miles, Aaron Heilman, Milton Bradley, and Lou Piniella again :-)

I have never complained
to Al about you. You were blasted in the threads because you only come in when we are losing and post the same crap over and over and over. Was I the only one who ever responded to you?
This season isn’t over yet.

Is it me, or is this ump really squeezing Marshall?

TMI. Where is he squeezing him? Never mind. Don't wanna know.

let's hope he stays there.
BTW, in 2010, a late inning outfield of Fuld, Colvin and RJ would be pretty good at running down fly balls.

Have you noticed Lou
isn’t playing any of his usual favorites? No Miles, Heilman, Gregg, Scales.
Do you think he’s reading our comments?

"One of Lou's favorites"
Can obviously mean whatever you want it to mean.
The guy is under contract for two years. Think about what that means, really. You need to find out whether he has been sucking because of the injury.
More nonsense.

That's bull.
The guy has sucked period. There was no reason for Lou to insert him in the lineup on his first day back but he did. Lou has favorites and showed it that night. Your defense of Lou is annoying.

maybe Jim Hendry heard how popular Milton was on BCB in 2008
so he went out and signed Bradley last winter.
…just a theory.
and let’s hope we see this Milton 12-13 more times this year. good night!
