    This was wonderful, Mike. thank you. I, too, have been growing so weary and my hope is almost gone. The hate has always been there ... but it's been stoked and cultivated and is encapsulating too many ...
  2. Squirrel
    You can. Unlike it, then like it again. Rinse, wash, repeat until you’ve liked it 100 times ... or more. I’m not sure ad infinity is enough ...

    That was an owner who locked the thread in the other forum. And yes, I'd say there was some veiled racism going on ... many posts were removed. But we have this thread now, so there was no need for two. AND THIS IS ANOTHER MOD NOTE: KEEP IT CIVIL!!!! Agree or disagree with the action, but do so without belittling others' opinions, whether it be players, managers, FO, other posters, owners, etc. And if you can't express an opinion about human decency, justice and fairness without pointing political fingers ... DON'T. POST. I'm tired of hearing about the cancel culture, leftist agenda, righty whitie stuff ... DON'T. GO. THERE. I'm tired of every issue becoming a debate drawn along political lines. There is no reason to make issues of human existence into 'we vs them' rants.

    It wasn't so many years ago that I'm sure the Tigers would have liked to have added a grand slam to their score before the Twins scored 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th to walk off win the game. It happens. You don't take a large score for granted. And if it is going to bother the Rangers, then perhaps they should have conceded the game before then. It's not about courtesy at all ... it's about scoring runs to win a game. And yeah, the score was already lopsided ... but it ain't over 'til it's over. Continuing to add runs is not discourteous. Hitting a home run is not discourteous. You don't want hitters to hit? Pitch better. You don't want to lose the game? Play better. Stuff happens. Play to the end or give up and go home.

    Maybe the Rangers should have forfeited the game before then if it's so bad for them

    That’s way better than the Dozier hair flip from years ago

    I love Romo. He’s a real gamer. Wonder if he’ll be cooking up any antics from the BP tonight? I’d really like to be a fly on the wall there tonight.

    Parker, you hit every, single point exactly correct. It's not about being offensive or offending ... it's clearly not that at all. It's about being inclusive. The offense seems to come into play when anyone suggests being inclusive ... even in the most minor ways. That baffles me. If you think the logo is no big deal, then how is it a big deal to change it in the most minor way possible that could be impactful?

    You were not the only one who expressed concerns, so this kind of 'I told you so' post really serves no purpose

    Just gotta replay that final pitch that ended the game ... it was a beauty!
  17. Squirrel
    It was the post he was responding to that was the egregious post. The 99% came from the other person. What the poster you quoted did was to emphasize what 1% means and should not be disregarded so callously as what the other poster implied. And the use of quote marks around “gets it” was either a misuse of quote marks, or further spreads misinformation with the implication that this is really nothing. That said, you are correct in that everyone needs to contain their comments as it relates to baseball. If you want to discuss broader issues of the virus, there is a dedicated thread in the Sports Bar forum. But callousness and disregard toward the seriousness of this situation, specifically or generally, will not be tolerated at TD. MODERATOR NOTE TO ALL: This is not a general discussion of COVID-19. This discussion, as is with any baseball forum discussion, needs to stay as it relates to the subject of baseball. If you want to discuss the virus in more general terms, please visit the Sports Bar forum where there is an ongoing thread. However, let me be clear, be very careful. No matter how few you think get seriously ill, have lifetime complications, or die, do not treat that insignificantly or callously. People are affected by this one way or another and you don’t know who here has or how they have, so be mindful and respectful of that.

    I'd give it a little longer before proclaiming no positives on the Phillies ... but I'm hoping that stays the case
  20. Squirrel
    That's only part of it. Which of those players were near any of ours? Those positives affect everyone ... not just those using the visitor's clubhouse.

    This was the best one yet, maybe because it was so close to home. It was interesting to me that her role, and recognition for what she could contribute, changed under new leadership. Gives me even more good feels for Falvey and Levine.
  23. Squirrel
    That was fun
  24. Squirrel
    I'm still waiting for a closer to use the Darth Vader Theme ...
