Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

If anything drives me away from this site for good, it is going to the epidemic overuse of the "T" word.

In my day, sports writers were smartasses. We gave as well as we took, and then we all went out for beers together.

 

Forgot about the suspension when he was so mad at the pitcher he threw his helmet at first base.

 

I post under my real name here because I don't want to use anonymity as a shield for being an asshole. You should give it a try.

 

Oh, get bent. Read your initial responses on two straight Nationals digressions and see who the asshole has been.

 

And don't be an "I post under my real name" tough guy. I hate that shit.

 

I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe Dusty is ahead of the curve with rest. Every other sport is starting to acknowledge the importance of days off. Has to be coming from above.

 

You're not Dick Whitman?

 

Now, see, some form of this would have made a pretty reasonable response to my initial post, rather than a knee-jerk defense of Two-Forty Three Harper's toughness.

 

Dude, you started this mess with the "U mad bro?" post. You did.

The fucking lamest thing on this board is the "U mad bro?" post. Nobody is mad here. You know it and I know it. Its the equivalent of writing "humina humina humina...."

And then you pull some victim shit.

Since you are acting like such a victim, let me tell you how a message board argument is supposed to work. Refer to the La Var Ball thread.

Lonzo Ball shits the bed in the first Summer Pro League game. Must have been five posters, including me, who said Lonzo sucks. @JC defends Lonzo, says its to early, blah blah blah.

Ball proceds to fucking kill the rest of the Summer Pro League, vindicating JC.

Yesterday, he reposts our messages about Ball sucking. We acknowledge we were wrong, at least I did, and we all move on. Point won by JC. Nobody is crying, no extended pissing matches.

You call out Harper for sitting out too many games. Another poster comes back with some stats - and you don't like the tone (and he perhaps disproves your allegation) and you start the U mad stuff, and how you are running 11 miles this morning, and if this keeps up, you just may leave.

At times, you are a fucking message board baby. Own it. A message board baby pulls the U mad bro shit. A message board baby says that he ran 11 miles this morning, what did you do. And especially a message board baby threatens to leave.

Go. Hit the fucking bricks, you big baby.

 

"You mad" was a callback to a prior exchange between he and I where we joked about him being "mad" about me naming Kris Bryant a "dark horse" MVP candidate. I thought it was a running thing - Justin_Rice defends the Nationals.

The "11 miles" was a jokey response to him saying I was "drunk."

You guys suck. This is the most humorless place on the Internet. It used to be fun.

 

None of that shit /\/\/\ jibes with how it reads.

See ya.

 

Well maybe next time you should save the mother hen lecture until you know the history.

I try to defuse a situation with humor. Another guy gets pissy. I'm the problem, though.
