But it did give me a positive feeling about the sense of community here, so good for everyone, you've pleased me ... ; ) Seriously though, it is something to be valued. Another thoroughly "meh" performance by Joba - I wonder now after reading about the Hughes/Bruney (speaking of "meh") bet, is there another bet between Chamberlain and Wang as to how mediocre they can be? - but a win, as they say, is a win. Nice to see Melky come through and oh yeah - <i> Fire Girardi!!!</i> Reading this thread well after the game was a surreal experience.

Dude that was the funniest comment of the night and then, instead of apologizing, he argues loss column. OYE. This is going to be a long summer. Maybe he can head off to Nomaas where they really don't care what people say. [591] yeah 51cq24, I want him to apologize to me too!

This is my last response to you because I'm not going to get involved in a debate with you about posting etiquette. You can take it from me that attacking the idea is appropriate and attacking the person is not. All I've seen from you is abuse. If I see you direct anymore abuse at William or anyone else, I will personally beg Alex and Cliff to ban you. There are a lot of old time Banterites that will likely do the same. As for your response to me hoping Kevin Puklis hurt his arm, you kinda sorta attacked the idea, but then you attacked the person by dragging william into it. You really don't get it. There are lots of other game threads on lots of other sites. Why don't you check out www.nomaas.org where they literally have a thread that attacks "mediots" and anything goes and they say horrible things to one another. [577] LOL Bum Rush.

Joba seemed a little subdued and a little annoyed. I think Joba is definitely facing a steep learning curve, which again leads me back to giving him an occasional start off to gather his lessons and go forward. Joba: “I’m continuing to learn”.

What "facts" are you citing exactly? I haven't seen an ounce of statistical analysis come out of any of your comments. Where's the ERA+ or OPS+ references. And there ARE many points of view and some of us (including me) are non-plussed by the job Girardi has done. If you want to say that because we've won 6 in a row that Girardi gets the credit and is a great manager then so be it, but just make sure you stop by when we've lost 4 in a row so you can read the other side. Meanwhile, if you continue to attack people personally (rather than ideas) then there will be more and more posters calling for you to be banned. You really don't want that. [567] William I thought he might say something like that. But if he added that he wanted Phil for another inning tomorrow I think that would be appropriate. [574] Bum Rush.
