    If you want to see the pool being reduced, head to any one of the Dozier threads. .

    Epic bat flips man, c'mon keep up. I expect more of you.

    I'm thinking Josie Flips, with a hard J.

    Meh, possibly. Prospects are voodoo at the best of times and there will never be a shortage of baseball people willing to sell potential for the chance to win now.

    2/3rds of a year of entertainment from Bautista for a 2nd round pick that could very well never be more of a prospect than the one we can get by flipping Jose. Meh, why not. But only if we agree to stop calling him Joey Bats, ffs.

    2010-11 was the year Hoffarber got thrown back to PG when Nolen broke his foot. 2012-13 was a bit of a house of cards, they were gifted another year of Mbakwe but in the end Tubby screwed that team up. His player usage and substitutions that year were ridiculous. Was glad he was canned.

    You and the rest of the civilized world.

    I really hope you're right, but I'm not nearly as optimistic.
  11. twinsnorth49
    Yes......although I take no responsibility if they land on the "failed to meet expectations" heap that most Gopher teams end up on.

    Wait......people still read ESPN?

    Disagree, I've always preferred Springsteen's version of Blinded by the Light. Far more authentic and has that famous slow build he's so good at, before letting loose one of his signature breaks (which he references in the song) Manfred Mann didn't even bother taking on this passage, Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground and asked him which was the way back home He said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boy, you're on your own" And now in Zanzibar, a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car, hummin' a lunar tune Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon" And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night Well, I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but figured he'd be all right Who sings that? his phrasing is crazy. His Van Morrison influence is pretty obvious. I'll give Manfred Mann this though, it was a near complete reworking of the song, not just a simple cover.

    Damn, that is one of the funniest thing's I've read in a long time. Thanks!!

    Is he traded yet? No? K, check back in a month. Bye

    I bought some GG cookies a couple of months back. When did they start selling those chocolate mint thin abominations? I can't eat a whole box of those!!

    I believe she was using the word "rant" euphemistically, the post was a warning in response to you and another poster continuing to derail a thread with off topic bickering and ultimately posts directed at one another. Something a different mod had previously warned about, which you ignored. Your deleted post had nothing to do with Chris Sale and was ridiculously off topic at that point, it deserved deletion. The fact that you insist on the mod post being a policy violation is a bit absurd. Personally I would have deleted a lot more posts in that thread but I respect my fellow mod for trying to give it one last shot to get you and others to stick to the topic. Again, your warning points were for questiong mod action in thread after repeatedly derailing a thread. The content creation ban is automatic with the points.

    The response to the mod breaking posting policy was to edit the post, that's policing. As I said,the rest of the post in question was fine and should have been allowed to stand, it was a warning to stop derailing the thread, which mods have discretion to use. Your subsequent posts were directed at another poster and had nothing to do with the topic, thus deleted. Points were given for ignoring the warnings and discussing mod action in thread. Both of which violate our posting policy.
  19. twinsnorth49
    Here's the thing though, a moderator had previously issued a polite warning to tone down the personal bickering in the thread, that was ignored. The second mod posted a more pointed warning, which after editing a single sentence was an appropriate warning. There was nothing of value in the subsequent posts that were deleted, therefore they were deleted. There is no favouring of one side, the warning was merited and mods are given the latitude to give them. I'm not sure what the problem was with the warning once it had been edited.
  20. twinsnorth49
    No worries, that would require me to read them first.
  21. twinsnorth49
    Particularly if subsequent postings want to discuss the warning.
  22. twinsnorth49
    To add a couple of things, mods do police themselves and will edit or delete posts by fellow mods. Editing of posts is relatively common, if a post is for the most part on point but happens to include something disrespectful or about another poster, then we'll edit the bad part out and leave the rest. In thread warnings are really just a preferred way to get things back on track without having to hand out points, which we really would rather not do. Edited by USAFChief: don't EVER edit my posts.

    You're dead to me. Enjoy your nitrates.

    Threw out your back playing golf? What are you, 90?

    Pretty remarkable win considering the loss of 2 defensive secondary starters, 2 other key defensive players, and the unending distractions. This is why I love college football more than the NFL.
