It's the Game thread's "I can say whatever I want about anybody in the Dodger's organization because I'm upset" rule. Game Threads used to be great and fun IMO. Now it usually reads like this (I DO agree with some of these ) "Easy Sweep " "Is Don trying to lose?" "Why the fuck is PlayerX batting X again? "There he goes again, he's benching the hottest hitter" "What a fucking dolt, Donnie dumbdumb" "We are gonna win" "We are gonna get swept" "How the fuck can we win with PlayerX starting?" "We can't win with the B team out there again" The rest in no specific order... "Learn how to play baseball you piece of shit!" "PlayerX sucks dick, fucking cocksucker" "Don's a fucking idiot" "AnnouncerX is a fucking imbecile" "Fuck yeah way to go PlayerX" "PlayerX has no business in the majors" "Give me a break man, PlayerX is not that bad" "Where the fuck did Ned dig this guy up?" "Yeah what a veteran, can't even get a sac fly" "PlayerX can't hit for shit" "That was pure sex(PlayerX hit a HR)" "PlayerX is a fucking fag" "we suck, fml" "Oh PlayerX got lucky that time, he still sucks ass" "Don's being a fucking idiot again" "STFU AnnouncerX" "PlayerX did it, I bet LAFord is blowing a load about now" "Don did that to try to.... (fill in the blank)" "Another Ned Gem" "Oh shit, we don't have a chance" "I don't get why PlayerX is such a douche every fucking game" "game" (TB special ) "Ned was dumpster diving again" "Way to go Skip! Fordie wins today" "Fucking asshat DBB, I can't wait to see how Fordie is gonna explain this one" "LMAO, what a veteran hitter, can't even hit the ball to the right side" "Why does Don bring this piece of shit in?" "Why do we suck so bad against this guy?" "Relax guys, this guy is pitching a good game"(referring to the opposing pitcherX) "Wake the fuck up!" "Thanks fucking faggot, you finally did something"(PlayerX got a hit) "GTFO PlayerX" "fml why does this guy look like Cy young against us" "LMAO fucking stupid fans" "They should just cut this piece of shit"(PlayerX) "game" (TB special again) "Hairston with an RBI, Ford's probably licking his TV" "Go fuck yourself PlayerX" "Die already you fag"(referring to playerX again) "How fucking hard can it be to advance a fucking baserunner you fucking dipshit?" "KCAL sucks dick so bad, I can't wait for TW" "The next time I see LAFord in person, I'm going to suck his dick right the fuck off his body" "Can we get a new manager already, Don's going to cost us a World Series" "FUCK YOU Don...enough bunts already!" "FUCK YOU Don...enough double switches already!" etc.... Nothing personal guys...just fuck off already, it's only baseball!
Kemp hittin .343 since his return and his shoulder and swing look gooooooooood. knock on wood that it stays that way
Not being in the GT last night and reading through it this morning, I can tell TB was doing his best to just ignore the personal attacks but boo was really persistent and unrelenting. So boo finally got his wish when TB explained himself but boo still didn't give him a pass. boo finally ended up quoting himself and left. Was what TB said a little harsh? Absolutely but TB obviously doesn't mean what he said and most posters can recognize that. I've seen worse posted in this forum and nobody bats an eye. I ignore what I don't like. I'm not coming to his defense for what he specifically said but in his right to say it. I feel better now.
I hate game threads, that is why I don't come anymore, but I found this hilarious. TB, you son of a gun, hahahahaha.... I know I removed the other text, but it was just too funny reading it.
I will say that it does suck not being able to come into GTs because of the overboard comments, on the spot reactions, etc. It used to be a lot better and has slowly disintegrated. No one's fault, specifically (PLEASE RE-READ THAT BEFORE YOU RESPOND), just slowly started becoming worse. I tried fighting that battle long, long ago and was told to not be a bitch, not read what I don't like and leave if I didn't like it because people get to bitch in game threads (yet I'm the bitch?!?! Ironic....) I get complaining, but the generality and insults are overboard. I have always stood by our players because the are DODGERS. Do some of them suck some nights, make mistakes or have poor ABs? Sure. But that doesn't make them cock-sucking, faggot, bitches, dumber than shit, people who should die. Anyways, everyone is entitled to say what they want, just wish we'd tone it down a little because for a silent few, it has made the GTs a place we don't visit much, but would like to.
I think it's more than the silent few at this point, a good amount of us don't use GT's anymore because of it, I think.
Typical getting singled out. It's fine. I will never tell an umpire to die again I won't chime in anymore. Maybe every so often in the playoffs. Enjoy your GTs. Once the novelty of my absence wears off, you'll find the difference is virtually nothing. The same stuff will go on. PS I wanna fight all of you in person. But as long as I'm nice to the players all is good.
Nope, definitely not buddy. And no, you shouldn't leave, no way. You are a good poster and I know it is your passion that causes the responses. I don't want you to censor yourself at all. Just giving my viewpoint Now this is a good idea. BRILLIANT!
I genuinely like those posts, though. I feel the same way when we don't get calls going our way or when scrubs like Pagan, Kozma, Denorfia, etc. always seem to do well against us. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.
If you guys really care that much, I'll stop telling player X, Y, and Z to go fuck themselves after stranding a runner on third with no outs. Unless it's Hairston.
Except I doubt it's your favorite. You probably hate it. Which is fine. I hate a lot of things people say. I don't say anything about it but it's the way of life.
