Don't take it personally, they are just keeping it fun, they are not trying to pick on you.

Its supposed to be fun.
I remember when people would come on this site - and literally - say that you sucked. No hints - just direct suckage aimed squarely at one's forehead. LOL
We are much more PC now - so claims of outright suckage are frowned upon - but dancing around the edges is still fun.
I think I quit the site about 34 times - and got many of my more passionate posts deleted. In fact - one person actually accused me of being the Antichrist. I kid you not.
I like to kid around - but I am most definitely not related to Lucifer.
And the globe just keeps on spinning despite it all.

fanofthegame - you are a valued member here!!!
There is a long tradition here that when a thread blows up, we all make up by goofing around after the feelings have died down.
I am serious though when I tell you that Art Shamsky had no talent

Arthur Louis baby!

If y'all keep intentionally misspelling the name, they may never come back. I would think that is very offensive!

That is a great question. I believe they mentioned it on the MLB network but I cannot remmeber now.
As you know, I am only kidding about Art! It takes beau coup talent obviously to play in the big leagues!
Fanofgame,
I wanted to also add my invitation to stick around. You hit the nail on the head with this quote:
As ClevelandDad explained, sometimes when a thread has turned into a food fight, it seems to clear the air to just goof off at each other... to be "stupid" on purpose.
Now, who is going to clean the food off of the walls and floor?!?!?

CD - here it is:
Shamsky tied a major league record by homering in 4 consecutive at bats for the Reds on August 12 and 14 of 1966.
Perhaps most remarkable, the first three home runs were hit in a game in which he was inserted in the ninth inning, as a pinch hitter. He homered in that appearance and remained in the game to hit home runs in his next two extra-inning at bats, extending the game each time.
The feat made Shamsky the first player in Reds history to hit two extra-inning home runs in one game.
He is also the only player in Major League history to hit three home runs in a game who was not in the starting lineup when the game began. The fourth home run was hit as a pinch hitter in the next game.
Arthur Louis Shamsky.
The Shaminator.

Being White Sox fans, my wife always said, "If the Yankees call for Junior, hang up on them".
One day they did call. At dinner, Junior told Mom, "Hey Mom, the Yankees called. They wanted me to pass a message along to you. They said they pay better."

I will...I threw the first piece of jello. It was supposed to stick to the wall but it blew up and some were hit by the shrapnel. Thier mom is going to talk to my mom and I'll be in big trouble.
Given my proclivity for all things Shamsky - and the massive diversion it may have created - I too will pick up a broom and get to sweepin.

Where were they when FL State was on the chopping block? Can anyone say double standards?
Yep rz1, you did!
Thread unhijacked!!
It's hard to believe this thread has 2X the posts as the thread about Mark McGuire coming clean about steroids...... 
I keep stirring Husker trying to get it closed. No luck yet. 
workinghard,
If you keep trying to get it closed - I am going to lay down the entire history of Shamsky on you next.
About 33 pages.
Plus photos.

I'd respond. But I was told not to.quote:Originally posted by BlueDog:quote:Maybe every post not directly related to baseball should be banned. Then deciding what is offensive won't be subjective and decided by a select few. Censorship is a form of morality judgement. Whose morality? Why is one sense of morality better than another?
This sure wasn't your judgement about the Tim Tebow thread you pitched a fit about awhile back....

As long as you dont say anything bad about my Metsies - its all cool.
I've read this whole thread over today and I've learned that at times I should maybe be more sensative with my direction and approach. Today, I've turned over a new leave in life. IT'S, I will not rip your Metsies. All I will say is it would have been so cool if a professional team could have called Shea Stadium home
The new and improved rz1 moves on.

You are just fine the way you were. In the heat of controversy it is not easy to always be perfect in what we say.
I am not perfect either, and my husband and kids would probably agree with me LOL.

Woodman,
I'm sorry to call you out publicly on this, but I'm going to have to ask why you showed up late for work.
This thread has 6 pages (oops, 7 now), and when was the last time prior to page 6 that you posted one of your classic stress-relieving illustrations? Page 3! As you can see, other members of this team had to pick up the slack by posting pictures.
I sure hope you have a good excuse for your tardiness. Maybe you were only late in small doses? Maybe you only arrived late in order to heal from the 162-thread season and get back to "normal", not to add strength to your posting performance?
Okay then, I guess we can excuse it this time.
