UMD-UNC Thread...

Says the guy who hasn't commented ON THE GAME yet. This tells me that you wouldn't have posted at all unless you were called out.

Did you not see the game? If so I'll understand, but if you did and your response is "Yeah? Well whoop-dee-do " then you really should rethink how much you care about this team.

You can be critical without wanting to see them fail, and you can celebrate a great victory without it invalidating your overall opinion on the state of the program.

Nah this one pretty much did it. I've never met a poster that gets so offended when someone breaks board rules and then goes and does the very same thing.

Except that the post you quote came after...

This happens all the freaking time on this board. The Gary haters get called out whenever the team plays a good/great game.

Not only is it stupid to rake a guy across the coals after a good game but for every UNC win, there are two Morgan State/American U losses.

But thanks for changing the tenor of an otherwise great thread, DanielOs and BTerp!

Not recently.
If you honestly believe that this team, over the past four or so years, has had more good wins than bad losses then you're absolutely delusional.

They've made the tournament once in four seasons.

Three posts in the thread complaining about our view without, you know, commenting on the game.

And I would really love to know what rules I broke. Especially in a thread where you told me to shut up and Rick called me an ass.

You're extremely condescending towards people and then act aghast when people insult you.

Whatever, you're not going to get me to concede that as a Gary basher I was wrong because we beat UNC.

I'll be sure to shoot you a post if/when the Terps have a bad loss.

Good, because I never once asked or even suggested that anyone should. In fact, I said the opposite in that post you just quoted as "the one that started it all".

The fact that you are still using that rhetoric disappoints me, because it means you aren't reading my posts and it makes me wonder why we should even bother with the concept of a discussion board if we aren't going to read what each other has to say.

Believe me I haven't bothered to really read what you say for several years now.

    • I agree with that and he's only two years out of high school. If Holliday gets back to his pre-call up stat line as you mentioned then he deserves serious consideration to be back on the Orioles roster. For now Mayo and Norby are deserving of being called up if the Orioles want to bring up a player from Norfolk.
    • I just want to riff on the term “elite athlete.”   To me, different people have different ideas of what level of quality is “elite,” and what it means to be an “athlete.”    For some people, “elite” means top 10% of the whole populace, for others it means top 0.1% of people who play professional sports.   Some people consider you “athletic” if you are very well coordinated and have good ability to learn skills, others don’t consider you “athletic” unless you could hold your own in the Olympic decathlon.   So a lot of times, people arguing about whether someone is an “elite athlete” are really talking past each other because they don’t ageee on what the term means.   To me, most pro sports players are elite athletes, and it’s just a matter of how elite they are.   In the case of Holliday, he’s athletic enough to be an awesome baseball player, and that’s elite enough for me.    
    • Locked on Orioles podcast reviews 6 rental relievers (contract for only this year) who the O's could trade for. 6.  John Brebbia, White Sox 5.  Adam Ottavino, Mets 4.  Carlos Estevez, Angels 3.  Paul Sewald, D Backs 2.  Yimi Garcia, Blue Jays 1.  David Robertson, Rangers Listed in the order they appear in the video, which is also the host's view of their value--increasing to Robertson at the top.

    • Want to sweep this series. But 2/3 isn't the end of the world.
    • Right. It’s a screwup on their part. 
    • The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.
