June 14th vs Pirates

[ilovetheos]

who comes up in the 9th for us?

[RShack]

I blame this all on VAB.

Just kidding

I agree... except the part about "just kidding"...

Some people never learn...

I think Sherrill's been a little overworked. That's the nature of the beast with closers sometimes. He's probably a bit tired.

[WEAVERMAN]

The Orioles pitching has really come up short the last two nights. First, Burress, then Albers and Sherrill.

[RShack]

I still like our chances.

Me too ...

[vab]

I just knew Sherrill was due. He's good but he's not that good. They can get this back if he shuts it down from here.

[ilovetheos]

is he getting squeezed on calls?

[The Rick]

Me too ...

I'd like our chances more if DT didn't religiously replace Luke Scott with Payton for defense. It makes no sense.

what made you think right then though, he has dominated lefties in his career.

I just put my lucky O's cap on which means we're going to win.

[McNulty]

who comes up in the 9th for us?

3-4-5.

By now, Ramon knows where the zone is tonight...

You can tell who leaves you rep, positive or negative.

So you gave her neg rep for not knowing what PR meant?

Well, I normally wouldn't post this type of thing here, but since she posted about it and several people responded, I'll just give my side. She sent me a PM about the rep and this was my response:

Hi Cindy,

Since you messaged me and posted in the thread about the reputation I left, I'm guessing you want an honest response, which I will give.

It was sort of shocked that someone with over 13,000 posts would not know what PR meant in the context of a sentence involving an injured runner on base in a close game, that sentence being in a post in a game thread. 'PR' is not just messageboard shorthand, it is the acronym used when keeping score, appearing in box scores in newspapers and on websites. So, my honest reaction, was shock.

Relatedly, I think that the game threads can get cluttered. Everyone should be allowed to post whatever they like, but I find it somewhat annoying when people, and not just you others also, ask questions that they could easily answer themselves with one or two clicks to MLB.com or ESPN.com.

Finally, one might say, "Well if you haven't anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all." While a fair enough sentiment in some circumstances, the negative reputation option exists for a reason. It makes no sense to have any sort of reputation or credit system if people are expected to censor themselves on the basis of supposed propriety or avoidance of appearing cruel.

Thus, I was not trying to be cruel nor doling out negative reputation for sport. No hard feelings.

I thought everyone might like to know that cindy left me retaliatory negative rep. So, it wasn't for anything I posted, it's because I left some honest rep, she didn't like it, and an administrator told her who left it(unless there is some other way to know who left what).

Yea she neg repped me too b/c I made a sarcastic comment about the O's not being able to score w/ the bases loaded:rolleyes:

Alrighty time to win this one on a walkoff...
