It's funny how people who throw judgemental comments left and right when it comes to politics they don't agree with get in a hissy fit when someone has an opinion about something as silly as fashion.

O's are no longer sweepless in Seattle!

Sorry.

Wild card and 2 ALDS game tickets secured. 

My husband does not want to go to the wild card.  I don't know what's wrong with him!

We are getting tickets to game 2 of ALDS though (home game)

I wouldn't want to go all the way to New York or Oakland to see an A's vs. Yankees game either.

;D

I don't think that I throw judgmental comments around at all, especially about politics,…or that I got in a hissy fit.

Maybe your comment was aimed at someone else, you judgmental dick.

You're missing my point.

My point was that opinions are stated on this message board ALL THE TIME.

And mature people that we are, we typically politely agree or disagree and give our reasons. We don't respond by insulting/judging the person who stated their opinion. As you did.

Or at least that's the way it should work, imo.  ;)

I had posted the Wikipedia page for sexual intercourse, and then in a second post said:  "^ This" 

How is that a judgmental comment or a hissy fit. You have been a judgmental dick on this board for a loooooooooooooooong time. Own it.  ;D

Exactly. Jamesy, take some personal responsibility man… don't play the victim!

So exciting!

Sure, I'm judgemental, and so are you if you're judging my behavior. I'm not sure how being judgemental makes a person a dick. If so, I guess that makes most of us dicks.

judgmental, judgemental [dʒʌdʒˈmɛntəl]
adj
of or denoting an attitude in which judgments about other people's conduct are made

Most of us are indeed dicks.  You are just the clearest example of a dick on this board.  And its okay.  In fact, it's entertaining most of the time. 

But in this case, you told me that I make judgmental political comments and that I threw a hissy fit, when neither had happened.

bringing us back to baseball…..Once in a while you even throw out a positive comment, and its a real change-up…. it clears the bases….etc.

Go O's and Nats.

Ok, good point. Indeed you did not make any judgements, except to judge me. My point was that it's kind of pointless to call someone a dick for something that we all do in one way or another.

I guess I find the conflicts that occur on the board because of people (judgementally) stating their opinion more entertaining than if all of us were sittting around singing kumbaya. Hence, my propensity for making inflammatory remarks. Where it crosses the line is when I make fun of Hutch's Members Only jacket, or when you call me a name.

Although, to be honest, I didn't really think mocking grown men who walk around town  in full sports gear was inflammatory. I would tend to think most people would probably agree with me.

I think it's also pathetic when people refer the their team as "we", as if they were on the team or something. Like I'll hear 35 year old UVA graduates who never played college ball in their lives say "We've gotta start playing better." after UVA loses a game.

I have few bigger pet peeves than this. Can't stand it. I can kinda understand it if it's your school/alma mater, but it's still embarrassing to act like you're a part of what the team does. Even worse when it's a pro franchise.

Honestly, I don't blame him.  This Wild Card idea is great for baseball.  Unless your team is in the game.

The one game playoff is idiotic.

id rather it be just one wild card (way too many teams still alive that have no right to be) but i dont think id have much of a problem with a play-in series between wild cards.

baseball should never be a one game sport

I like it.. the old system sucked…the wildcard should somewhat be disadvantaged with respect to division winners… this way they are.. they have to play a do or die game..and you know what? those can be fun…. wasn't there a great one last year?


i mean what is the problem? that it is tough on the worst team to make the playoff??? tough luck.. win the division next time!
