    Why are you taking things personally? What does board history even mean?
    I spoke openly because I know you can follow. If you think I was attacking you or anything you are mistaken.
    You are going to extremes and talking about gang members and how they react. That is an unreasonable point.
    Gang members are super racists, that is why they may shoot you. Not because what you actually said is racist.
    Although ive talked about fried chicken and watermelon with black guys like its whatever. Because it is whatever.
    Unless you are a douche, then no matter what you say your intentions betray you and you will be viewed as an enemy.
    I swim with them and spit watermelon seeds while we trade lawnmower jokes.

    Im tired of this shit version 25.0?

    Nah. Just my man Ruven being Ruven and people taking exception to Ruven. Could almost be a successful sitcom. Addressing real life problems with comedic and over complicated solutions. Writes itself, just every episode would have to be five hours long and ultimately achieve very little. Ruv in charge, of our days, of our niiights.

    cautiously optimistic adrian is right

    Gonzalez confident outburst against Marlins start of new beginning
    by Matthew Moreno | Dodger Blue — 2 hours ago

    Prior to Sunday’s game, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts dismissed any concern over Adrian Gonzalez and his sluggish, albeit in a small sample size, return from the 10-day disabled list. “His timing is a little off,” Roberts said.

    “Just his presence in the lineup means a lot to us. He’ll get it going. He’s got his strength back, his extension is there.” Sure enough, Gonzalez went on to carry the Dodgers in the series finale against the Miami Marlins.

    He finished 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in the 6-3 victory. The multi-double game was Gonzalez’s first since April 23. With one double, he had his first extra-base hit since April 25.

    What’s more, the three-hit game was Gonzalez’s first since Aug. 22, 2016. For the veteran first baseman, the results were simply a byproduct of health.

    “My body is definitely better,” Gonzalez said. “I told you guys all along as long as my body feels good, I was going to come back. The first two games it was trying to get back into the rhythm, [Sunday] I felt good.”

    Affected and limited by back and forearm trouble since Spring Training, Gonzalez hit .255/.327/.309 with a .284 wOBA and 76 wRC+ through 29 games. Gonzalez’s .635 on-base plus slugging percentage at the time of landing on the disabled list was on pace to be the lowest mark of his career.

    The DL stint was a first for Gonzalez, who appeared in 1,833 games before ultimately going inactive. “As long as I’m healthy and my back holds up, everything is going to be fine,” he said.

    “When my back and legs weaken, there’s not much else I can do other than try to fight through it. Fighting through is not a good recipe, which I found out the hard way.”

    Sunday’s performance was in line with what Gonzalez has done throughout his career. That was not lost on Brandon McCarthy, who held the Marlins to one run over six innings.

    “We all know how good he is,” McCarthy said. “At his best, he’s a tremendous pain in the [expletive] for other people. He does exactly what he did [Sunday], takes balls all over the plate and drives them all over the yard and runs score. We certainly would like to have him going full steam.”

    Gonzalez anticipates that to be the case moving forward. “The way I see it is,” he began, “the first game I came back was the start of my season.”

    Great Third Man quote.
    If only turmoil within the LA clubhouse produced a champion, a la the Billy Martin/Steinbrenner Yanks. But guys get moved these days for not being cool in the clubhouse...but as a reward for the kumbaya comraderie, I move, should the Dodger's plight in the post season march relentlessly on as usual, also known as losing, they get a trophy for participation.
    PC baby. PC.

    I see nothing wrong with this entire proposal.
    And it is exactly how it always goes down.
    My first name is Charles. Well in Mexican.
    I strive hard every day of my life to achieve as little as possible.
    That is the key to a long fruitful life.
    But thats because I like fruit you can taste, not fruit made of steel.

    huh?. When I say YOU, it is not the personal you.
    Like the others said, yes, i jumped on your post to pontificate on whatever I was thinking about while readin this thread.
    Do not take the stuff said as "you" personally. Notice how after a few sentences that YOU turned into a WE.
    That should clue you in on the context. It is pontification. It goes out for my own amusement. There is nothing to achieve. This is a sounding board. You are not targetted and there is no animosity towards you at all. In fact if I choose to reply to your post with a quick long ass burst of text in the middle of my busy workday you should take it as a compliment.
    I only do it with posters who I believe have an opportunity/will to maybe want to try and follow along. I dont do it with everyone.
    Look at the list of people who I talk with like this?
    Bluezoo, Diablo, Irish, Capn, etc...
    Its not very long.
    If you are older and you talk about the topics people normally say you arent supposed to talk about in mixed company then I may jump in and have some fun.

    So huh?, if you and I ever do not agree on something, and a response from me is forthcoming about you and how you feel about something, your convictions on any subject, your ability to think and arrive at a logical conclusion, your opinion as faulty and just wrong, your expression about what life has taught you as an individual as totally wrong and lacking common sense, etc.,etc.,.I won't mean you, even though I'm responding only to your post.
    How could you not know that and take it personally?
    Just so you know...
    Lol.
    Btw, I never realized that a peach cut that way looks very much like a vagina...
