Twins re-signed Baker

[TwinVike61]

I too enjoy Thyloss' insight and perspective and am glad he contributes to Twins Daily. But I will definately wait on investing in a "Baker jersey" the next time he proclaims a done-deal signing.

That's the risk you take when you post something like this. He doesn't necessarily have to read the posts ripping him either, but he certainly has lost our trust if there was any to begin with. Personally, I think he has a great grip on new world statistics and prospects in the system.

The Twins have signed Zack Grienke to a 3 year deal.....DONE DEAL....shhhhhh, its a secret.

I have a source that says faceless people on internet forums are petty and juvenile.

This is why the internet has ruined journalism. Yes without the internet we would not have this site, but come on. A "done deal," period." That is so laughable. I wish I had a picture with Thyroid wetting the bed while also screwing the pooch. This mess up is so bad that one cliche was not good enough. The best part is that we all called him out the day he said this...and he cited himself as the source. GENIOUS. This guy must do stand up.

 

In an unrelated matter, my sources, whom I cannot name due to the deal not being made public, that Thyloss is full it. It being poop. Lets not defend the guy and please, I know it is site policy not to personally attack a guy, but we NEED to make an exception for his one. In fact we need to put on the site rules:

 

12. If someone posts something so idiotic and looks like a jackass, then thou must callith him out to the highest degree...amen.

Time out!!

 

Mindless bickering.

To quote George W. (and The Who) "Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...we won't be fooled again."

Occam's Razor: Thrylos doesn't have a "source" and was talking out of his ass.

 

Honest question: Does he contribute anything to this forum? All of his posts seem to be one of two things:

1.Making up things to bash the front office/Gardy/etc

2.Making up things to claim he is some sort of important beat writer/rumor monger for the Twins.

 

Seriously, pathological lying on the internet is nothing new, I just would expect a site like this to be above it.

 

You forgot a third and favorite attention grubbing topic: the rampant racism in the Twins organization. (The Delmon Young 'property' thread most recently).

 

Sorry, I can't take Thrylos seriously because it's so hard to see truth having to look over a glacier-sized rock of salt.

Hey, don't scare thrylos off! He's an absolute hoot!

[Boom Boom]

I don't mind going out on a limb... being wrong isn't a crime. However, if and when thrylos98 comes back with another scoop story, he'll have to expect that he won't be taken seriously.

 

I think some are mistaking "piling on" for "good natured ribbing".

[nicksaviking]

Everyone was ripping this post right off the bat because no one believed he had a source. Now everyone's come back to this stupid thread to say I told you so, like they have the need to validate the fact that they didn't buy into the idea in the first place? Grow up, it should have gone without saying that a sane person didn't believe this rumor, piling on makes you guys look immature.

+1, some people around here need to stop taking everything so seriously.

[Top Gun]

A all out lie is serious, and it ruins the creditability of this site.

[darin617]

So when is Thrylos gonna come clean and tell everyone he was just guessing. Dude has got to say something to try and save a little face on this deal...

[darin617]

Just waiting patiently to hear what happened with that 3 YR deal.

 

Anyone else have any scoops about the Twins FA signings they would like to share with everyone?

 

Mine is somewhat realistic, Twins sign Joe Blanton to a 2 YR $13M deal with a club option for a 3rd year. This would not be the top pitcher added by the Twins this off season.

[powrwrap]

It's pretty easy to make a prediction like he did and then if it comes true you look like a genius. When it doesn't come true you hope no one remembers.

 

Thrylos has the third most posts to Twins Daily. He has opinions on just about everything. Sometimes I think he posts stuff just to pass the time. I'd say if people want to take him to the woodshed on this matter they are justified.

[70charger]

You literally just posted in the other thread. How is this one necessary?

 

Don't be a dick, dude.

[snepp]

I think in this case the reaping of what was sowed is justified.

Agreed. This is a joke of a thread. Honestly, stuff like that this should be a ban-able offense.

Agreed. Thyros was given ample opportunity to walk his claims back; he responded with cheeky arrogance.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, I think we've all had a chance to pile on Thrylos by now. Point taken.
