I still follow him on Twitter. He’s political, which is of course his right. He really cares about traffic circles and sidewalks.

He started a site years ago after leaving. I believe It was Orioles Anonymous or something like that. JTrea was devoted O’s fan and brought quite a bit of comic relief.

The other thing I really hated about him is that he’d flare up like a bad case of herpes when the Orioles were doing bad. Ugly loss? He’d be there. A few losses in a row? He’d post a lot saying I told you so. Jackson Holliday off to a bad start? He was all over that. 

 

There's a couple of those around here.  But I won't name names.

But thanks Tony.  The less trolls the better.

I figured people would want to celebrate. We haven't had a person reported this many times since when Sports Guy would go on a rules violation bender back in the day! :D

This new watered down version of SG is way different. Anyone who’s started posting here since he originally left doesn’t know how good we have it 😂

Seems the same to me.   Seriously.   Same old, same old.    Does watered down mean calling someone a POS?    That’s not fooling the moderators, is it?

Yeah, I certainly understand that POV. I was trying to be fair even though I did not like him, and actually had it out with him behind the scenes. 

In the end, I refunded his plus membership for no other reason that I never want to think I took a dime from that yahoo. 

Losing money to get rid of him was well worth it to the community.

Thanks Tony.  I think it's good that you give people a fairly wide latitude, but one of the things that makes this place so enjoyable is that the rules are enforced.  On other boards, it's like Beyond Thunderdome out there.  I'm all for giving people multiple chances, but that guy was just insufferable.

    • Because you said it will never be good.  That he could win CY awards and it not be good (or whatever awards/phrasing you said).  It’s just an absurd thought.    That’s what people jumped on you about.
    • Just DFA him already. Hopefully thats the move if Kjerstad is ready over the next few days. I doubt his rehab stint would need to be crazy long if hes feeling ok.
    • Just hoping we get Westy, Kjerstad, Mounty, Urias back on the roster soon for Soto/Rivera/Jimenez/Maton. Such a huge upgrade is possibly soon. Missing Mateo a lot as well, especially vs lefties.  Vs RHP: SS Gunnar CF Mullins 3B Westburg RF Santander LF Cowser 1B O'Hearn/Mounty C Adley DH Kjerstad 2B Holliday vs LHP: SS Gunnar 2B Westy RF Santander 1B Mounty C Adley 3B Urias CF Cowser LF Slater DH Kjerstad/Mayo?
    • Kimbrel has a club option too, should be the two easiest decisions. But I am sure they will make it complicated 
    • I was not saying this will happen, or predicting this to happen. It is very much not likely to happen as you pointed out- and we agree on that. But just because they haven't gone 4-14 so far this year, doesnt mean its not a possibility. In the last 18, for example, they are 8-10 as you have pointed out. Of those 8 wins, 5 of them came against three of the worst teams in baseball- Rockies/White Sox/Rays (5-4). We dont have teams like that left on the schedule. Do we get to 8 wins out of 18 without playing half of the games against three of the worst teams in baseball? Maybe, maybe not. Another 2 of the wins came in the Astros series which took a heroic grand slam, and an unlikely pinch hit 3 run double from Holliday. Both of those hits came on the backs of Astros defensive miscues, and both of those hits came in games that we were otherwise lifeless/hapless like we have been for the majority of the last 70+ games. We were very fortunate to come away with two wins during that series.  Again, I am not saying that we are going to go 4-14 to finish the season, and crazily enough 4-14 could still be enough to get into the playoffs even if it DID happen. If we went 4-14, the Red Sox/Mariners would have to go 14-4 over that same stretch to pass us, or the TIgers would have to go 13-5 (if they take the tie breaker). Its just something that seemed impossible 3 days ago, and now it may end up being something to monitor.
    • Reminds me of the Nats with Papelbom. Need to excise that wart now.
    • This team needs the obvious jolt and the timing for the injured cavalry coming back is hopefully soon but time is short and we need wins.   I have to think Kimbrel at this point is viewed as "washed" by his teammates and just adds to this negative karma that exists even when they see him in the dugout and not even pitching.   Time for addition by subtraction now for both him and Smith.  We are at the point of definition of insanity territory by hanging onto both.
