Your splits on Walker make a very good point, forsch. He’s more than held his own after a brief adjustment period.
We haven’t had a hitter like him in the system in awhile.
I can read. No one directly called you an ass. Your posts come across as playing the victim and I’m tired of it.
Period.
I once had a dear friend who went through one failed relationship after another.
He told me that he finally looked in the mirror one day and realized the common denominator in all the failed relationships was him. HE was the one who needed to change.
The common denominator in the all of these squabbles is you and I’m tired of it.
Wooster,
To clarify- those were my own admittedly derogatory nicknames for those players. I remember using Wusscakes on the board but not BOP.Forsch,
My post in this thread was regarding his claim not to recognize the nickname which is why I used the term “disingenuous”. It’s isn’t credible that any poster who has posted here for any length of time would not recognize that means of referring to DeWitt.My post didn’t actually address whether the nickname was appropriate. Whether I should have addressed its appropriateness is another matter (and a good point by you).
I agree with Brian that I prefer players and personnel be referred to by their given names, with exceptions being made for The Man, etc.
I also admit I have a grown daughter who thinks St Louis used to employ two players named “Wusscakes” and “Bucket of Poop”…
Cranny,
Pls don’t post disingenuous responses. “DeWallet” has been used for years on this board. Years.Tks
Cranny,
Pls just stick to baseball too.
Thanks.
jj,
Since my original post re this matter referenced the content of post 169781 in the first sentence, I could hardly be ignoring it.You think it’s “lame” that I told him that you didn’t intend your post as a put down?
Reading something into a post that isn’t intended happens. When it does happen, it usually has more to do with something going on with the one misreading the comment than anything else. That isn’t the same thing as “lying”.
Cranny,
I didn’t read it as a put down at all. Honestly.Your description of our site was spot on and quite detailed. Much appreciated.
I think jj and you read something into each other’s posts that wasn’t intended.
You certainly meant nothing negative about the “..if you don’t know who Whitley is…” and his reply was pointing out that he knew the site’s strengths since he was a subscriber. No more, no less. (Hope you’re able to resubscribe in the future because I know how much you love the minors.)
I’ve always loved the St Louis Cardinals in part because it was a fun escape when personal times were rocky. And if the Big Squad was shaky, there was always one of the minor league teams doing well.
This year? Shaky Big Squad and a minor league season so lousy I can’t remember its like. Little escape or fun either place. And we’re all going through something none of us have experienced previously.
