I didn't realize asking a question was taking things seriously
it was a question. One question, with no ‘tone’ or attitude to it. What’s with this overtly defensive stance? One, 5 word question. Not loaded. A point of curiosity. No one took anything seriously.
not answering a legitimately curious question, and instead slandering the questioner is essentially the definition of defensive.
At least I know how outsiders are treated around here…if they dare show any curiosity at all, just bomb the hell out of them. Bang up job, hospitality crew.
to know when I’m “defeated.” All I wanted to know, without any snide connotation, or ill-will, what he legitimately meant. That’s it. I don’t generally take shit seriously, but I just wanted an answer from the party I addressed. Nothing more, nothing less.
My version of not taking shit seriously is just not talking to someone to begin with if I had no reason to reply to them. Obviously, your approach is more…abrasive. Cheers, sailor.
We’re not actually mean to people unless they spell poorly, which you’re not doing. You’re fine.
What we do is never actually answer any question seriously ever. That’s what we mean by don’t take things seriously. We don’t answer anyone’s question, regardless of intent. We made random statements that are unrelated to the query.
If you had answered the question, I would have stopped. None of you are even the target of my question, so maybe you should care less about what I’m asking, eh?
the opposing team. Your joining just now is suspicious enough as it is. And you come and ask a smartass question of a comment clearly not terribly serious. What reaction were you expecting?
Really? I didn’t know you were an expert on intention. Read my question again, why not? Five words. Five…to address a curious comment on a blog that, regardless of my join date, I have read almost daily. No, the 110 loss comment obviously wasn’t serious. But given the beliefs of baseball fans in general (believe me, I’ve been a an long enough to insist that certain teams I hate just are ‘lucky’), I can see how the ‘lucky’ part might be true. Some people, despite your apparently jaded existence, are capable of asking questions without trying to be a dick. Which is what you should perhaps consider as a possibility rather than assuming the worst of someone based on a whole five words.
There are comments here that are obvious jokes meant to dig at me…and then there are comments like his that he tries to justify that clearly are serious.
I love playing behind the ‘just joking’ card, too. But some, such as the person directly replied to, clearly ain’t on the same ‘joking’ page as you.
you can find any post by TheOptimist or Eyebrows and we’re not that harsh on Angels fans… who dont flame us in the same way that we dont flame you guys… it just depends on the time… if you come say something at exactly the same time we lose… we’re gonna be mad…. same as you….
personally, anyway, is to ignore Mariners fans that post on HH entirely…until mob mentality builds up, at which point I become as much a sucker as anyone.
We’re not that bad over here… save for some insane emotion that you I’m sure certainly have at the same times that we do (end of games, when we make stupid trades, etc…)
I can be a smartass in 5 words just as good as 5 paragraphs
I’m sure you can too. And by that question you are clearly trying to start an argument over whether the Angels have been lucky so far this season or not with fans of the opposing team, where else did you expect this line of questioning to go?
Judging by the Angels offensive output so far, and everything that same offense has done in the past, you can make a pretty good case for saying they’ve been pretty lucky thus far. Is that what you wanted to hear?
funny that you know my intentions better than another.
As I said already, I frequently grasp at straws to try to justify a hated team’s success as being a mere product of luck. I do it a lot…in fact, I do it constantly.
That being the case, I had a legitimate curiosity as to how that plays out for whoever the hell made the initial comment. Nothing more, nothing less.
And factoring in the addition of Torii Hunter, the maturation of Kendrick, Kotchman, and Napoli, and considering that they currently average 5.1 runs per game, which is less than last year, I’m not sure I buy that analysis, no.
The M’s got embarrassed tonight, they lost in heart wrenching fashion, everybody here is on suicide watch, we’re still angry and need to lash out at something. Stop taking everything we say as if we actually mean it.
but ‘OlSalty’ has proven himself an exception in that he clearly does think that I was trying to be a dick. Regardless of ‘GTE,’ I feel it fair that I give a rational context to my remarks so that he understands what I meant to not be a dick comment.
If I actually had meant to be a dick, I would have given it up already. The rest of you, I’ve gotten over…he, on the other hand, is as serious as I am, and any contrary insistences are just a lie.
I was just trying to explain why people jumped on you
When we normally don’t. It is a pretty suspect question to be asking right after a loss, you have to understand that. If that wasn’t your intention, fine, no big whoop.
99.9% of my internet life is spent being a dick, and that’s my fault. But given that no one here probably knew that in advance of my comment, and given that I was, for once in my life, actually serious, it was more than a little frustrating that I couldn’t get across that I wasn’t trying to be an asshole.
You're reading what I write, but you aren't comprehending.
Even if you’re not trying to be a dick, you still look like someone coming here to pick at the wounds. Your responses haven’t done much to dissuade them from that notion. And as I said at the first, it was never a serious question, so why keep after it?
And before you start talking about hospitality, I’m apparently banned from HH and I’ve never posted there ONCE.
you are an outsider obviously, but you are a baseball fan and are so far away from being some flamewar idiot…. I just dont understand how you are banned from anywhere…
I just disagree. I would assume I only look like a dick if one is jaded enough to assume the intentions of any outsider to always be bad. Clearly that is the case here, because I did nothing.
“How have the Angels been lucky” is a loaded question when it’s posed to your competitors blog. The only “omg serious” response is “Mariners blogger A lists 10 plays that the Angels were lucky on” then “CKoD lists 10 plays the Mariners were lucky on” then it devolves into bickering.
It’s not a productive question, really it’s just trolling.
It’s not a loaded question unless you want it to be. Read my response above for the context I asked the question in. It’s really just absurd for me to sit here being lectured to you about what I meant by the question, when I personally know I didn’t meant 1/100th the ill-will that you insist.
but I think we only have the ability to see if someone was banned in the last few weeks. If The Optimist is banned from HH, it’s been that way for a long time.
a computer problem, I spent 20 minutes fiddling with my internet settings and found out I was wrong again. So officially, my apologies to The Rev (and indirectly, to Casey’sKOD) for suggesting he banned me for no reason. My only defense is that before today I didn’t really care one way or the other. I am now reduced to once again not posting at HH by inclination rather than necessity.
Every team gets their share of luck, the Angels got lucky when that ball stayed in the park, but the Mariners got lucky with those multiple line drives right at Beltre/Yuni/Sexson
1) GTE. I trust you have become familiar with the term
2) The perception (note: perception) is that the Angels tend to get an awful lot of breaks and weak hits when they play us. Being that the only time we really watch the Angels is when they play the Mariners, we don’t see all the times the luck evens out, so they just come off as being a lucky team
but long story short, GTE = Game Thread Emotion. During and immediately following games, people here tend to make really irrational comments and arguments for which, under LL law, they cannot be held responsible.
Ordinarily GTE only extends to 10 minutes following the final out, but considering the nature of the final out today, I’m granting an extension.
Lord. My family has extended me a form of GTE that persists to this day for Doug Eddings in the ‘05 ALDS. I think I’ve been given a lifetime pass on that.
Adam Wainwright A) loading the bases in game 7 of the LCS, and then B) somehow striking out Carlos Beltran was the greatest baseball moment ever. 1,000,000x better than having the Tigers handing us the World Series.
that was just funny, because it shouldn’t have been physically possible. The second best moment of that series was Tim Salmon hitting the gamewinning 2-run shot in Game 2. Because say what you want about Eckstein or “Player A,” Tim had EARNED that shit.
What makes AK’s even better though, is realizing that the pitcher he did that to was a young Johan Santana.
I was 8 and had an interest in paleontology and thats the only reason I got to see that movie… It fucking rocked tho… Neumannn got his eyes burnt the fuck out
IMO. Without him, you guys don’t win. Given that Jeff Weaver and Suppan managed to hold down the mets, I can only assume that you could have put a rusty pitching machine on the mound and given up the same number of runs. But you don’t score more without Molina.
that nobody’s actually heard of, so they inaccurately pity you for going to what they think is some poedunk corn factory in Iowa—but I’m not bitter, no not all…I’M NOT BITTER, YOU HEAR ME!
Add in the top LACs, Stanford, Northwestern, University of Chicago, and the like, and that’s another 20 or so, and tack on the selective state schools, and you get to around 40 (come to think of it, probably much more).
I go to Rutgers. When I go back to the west coast (where I live), a lot of prospective employers ask me if it’s an Ivy league school because of its semi-snooty name, and the fact that everyone has heard of it. They seriously think it is…and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna be the one to correct them. Good to have morons think I go to a great school when it’s really just a ‘good’ one.
mishear me at first and I have to tell them that no, I don’t go to Cornell, but Grinnell. The “I’m so sorry” look they give me afterwords would be priceless if it weren’t so fucking irritating.
I was a very young man in 1985… but my dad says i was a very young man being made fun of for being an M’s fan… and I apparently got some pretty badass luxury seats when I was 1-3 yrs old…
New Mariner’s GM Owens’s new “No Beer, No Sex, No Fun” policy has resulted in a complete organizational strike—they have two days before they forfeit the season.
I can't remember why now, but I have the wikipedia page
for “fuck” open on another tab. It’s hilariously long.
This points to a possible etymology where Common Germanic fuk–, by reverse application of Grimm’s law, would have as its most likely Indo-European ancestor *pug–, which appears in Latin and Greek words meaning “fight” and “fist” (cf. the Latin-derived English words pugnacious = “combative”, and pugilist = “fighter, boxer”). In early Proto-Germanic the word was likely used at first as a slang or euphemistic replacement for an older word for intercourse, and then became the usual word for intercourse.
dickey fake excitement got shut down by goose, and Richie(2HR) with the only offense to show for, except for the last out which was completely robbed from us
Why couldn't GMJ have been playing CF today?

You and Eyebrows renew my faith in people.

Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
no
not at al…I’m saying if you come here you cant just say bullshit… you have to provide some evidence…
thenatural - April 18, 2008
HH's population doesn't get along with real analysis very well
Graham MacAree - April 18, 2008
I'm a friend of good analysis
so long as its conclusion is that Angels > Mariners.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
false
T!=F
thenatural - April 18, 2008
Analysis != common sense.
CapSea - April 18, 2008
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire life
congratulations
seattlebruin - April 19, 2008
I assume
you also recognize that it was not a serious comment, right?
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 19, 2008
You're reading what I write, but you aren't comprehending.
Even if you’re not trying to be a dick, you still look like someone coming here to pick at the wounds. Your responses haven’t done much to dissuade them from that notion. And as I said at the first, it was never a serious question, so why keep after it?
And before you start talking about hospitality, I’m apparently banned from HH and I’ve never posted there ONCE.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
And you're an Angels fan
hahahaha
JI - April 18, 2008
Yeah, I thought it was messed up too. :/
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
What... Really???
CapSea - April 18, 2008
I'd take that as a compliment, personally.
redwolf75 - April 18, 2008
That's pretty funny
Rev’s really got the tinfoil hat on, banning traitors and whatnot.
OlSalty - April 18, 2008
The sad part is
TO’s probably the coolest person I know.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
Hey, you put up with the douchebag
Don’t bitch.
The Typical Idiot Fan - April 18, 2008
I... wasn't? o_0
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
I think you misunderstood his comment.
It was positive. We like it. It complimented a member of our community.
CapSea - April 18, 2008
The what
Graham MacAree - April 18, 2008
I was referring to Rev
Of course, now the whole banning of TO thing is in doubt.
The Typical Idiot Fan - April 18, 2008
In the words or our new friend Caseyes Kiss of Death,
that is “much retardation.”
Liebkartoffel - April 18, 2008

redwolf75 - April 18, 2008
Blah, blah, blah.
Liebkartoffel - April 18, 2008
youre banned?
thenatural - April 18, 2008
Yep.
Any time I try to go there logged in or sign in there, I can’t. This happens on no other sbnation site.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
but not here?
thenatural - April 18, 2008
Clearly not, I'm posting here aren't I?
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
yeah... Im just trying to understand
you are an outsider obviously, but you are a baseball fan and are so far away from being some flamewar idiot…. I just dont understand how you are banned from anywhere…
thenatural - April 18, 2008
If you try to civil
you will be labeled a flamewar idiot and banned regardless. I don’t see why that matters.
JI - April 18, 2008
I hope this question was a joke.
CapSea - April 18, 2008
less of a joke than a wtf?
thenatural - April 18, 2008
I get what you're saying
I just disagree. I would assume I only look like a dick if one is jaded enough to assume the intentions of any outsider to always be bad. Clearly that is the case here, because I did nothing.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
Also, I'm not in charge of the 'banning process'
so that’s a moot point entirely about hospitality.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
Well, not really.
Only if we’re arguing why YOU’RE hospitable. It reflects poorly on HH’s.
CapSea - April 18, 2008
no ones saying youre in charge of the bannings
its still bullshit that someone who comes over to have civil conversations is cast away
thenatural - April 18, 2008
But you did do something
“How have the Angels been lucky” is a loaded question when it’s posed to your competitors blog. The only “omg serious” response is “Mariners blogger A lists 10 plays that the Angels were lucky on” then “CKoD lists 10 plays the Mariners were lucky on” then it devolves into bickering.
It’s not a productive question, really it’s just trolling.
OlSalty - April 18, 2008
If you want to assume intentions
you’re free to do it.
It’s not a loaded question unless you want it to be. Read my response above for the context I asked the question in. It’s really just absurd for me to sit here being lectured to you about what I meant by the question, when I personally know I didn’t meant 1/100th the ill-will that you insist.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
No, I'm right.
As it says right in my sig, I’m a visitor and really always will be. But somehow I get along just fine.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
So seriously
you’re an Angels fan, and banned from HH without a post?
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
He definitely is an Angels fan.
And he can’t visit the site. I’ve seen it in person.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
I can think of no other explanation.
I cannot log in to HH. I can log in to LL, and any other sbnation blog. You can check my history. I have never posted on HH.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
Does it actually say
“You have been banned from Halos Heaven” in the box where you could normally post comments?
OlSalty - April 18, 2008
*cough*
redwolf75 - April 18, 2008
I can't even reach the site logged in.
Not logged in I can read everything just fine. If there’s another explanation I’d love to hear it.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
So many jokes.
I’ll go with: “Your computer doesn’t want you to be associated with stupid.”
But I’m tired and off my game. Someone else can come up with a better one.
CapSea - April 18, 2008
doesn't look like you're banned to me
weird that you would have that issue.
Matthew - April 18, 2008
I was just checking
but I think we only have the ability to see if someone was banned in the last few weeks. If The Optimist is banned from HH, it’s been that way for a long time.
Jeff Sullivan - April 18, 2008
I checked other banee's (?)
and when you inspect them, it still shows them as a member of that particular site and status: banned.
Matthew - April 18, 2008
How peculiar
although I guess the important point here is that The Optimist isn’t really missing out on anything.
Jeff Sullivan - April 18, 2008
I agree
but at the same time if I was kicked out of my own fanbase I would be pissed… regardless
thenatural - April 18, 2008
HH isn't his fanbase
6-4-2 or someplace like that would be.
Matthew - April 18, 2008
Oh noes I got banned from DOV
(I haven’t been banned from DOV).
Graham MacAree - April 18, 2008
Rob's too pessimistic for
my tastes. :P You all I can understand having negative views of Halos players
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
Do you trust my Garland opinion yet? :P
Graham MacAree - April 18, 2008
I believe I told you you were right some time ago...
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
Oh
So many people tell me I’m right I hardly pay attention anymore
Graham MacAree - April 18, 2008

JI - April 18, 2008
If it helps, I can remind you how
wrong you are, from time to time.

HH may be the most active Angels blog, but it’s also easily the worst.
Jeff Sullivan - April 18, 2008
Well
I’m banned from HH for calling Jon Garland’s mother a whore, and I’m reminded of that every time I visit in the comment box….
So if he doesn’t see that I don’t think he’s banned
OlSalty - April 18, 2008
hahahahaha
” You have been banned for calling John Garland’s mother a whore.”
(emph. mine)
Matthew - April 18, 2008
I haven't been around that long.
It may be a computer issue. If so, I apologize to the Rev for impugning his honor.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008

Matthew - April 18, 2008
Maybe you don't meet the min. system requirements for douchebaggery
OlSalty - April 18, 2008
Yes, much better. Thank you.

Though to be honest, I really don’t mind sticking around here. _

I guess you could consider "Don't Flatter Yourself"
a title. It’s pushing it, though.
Liebkartoffel - April 18, 2008
If there is even a 1/10000000th of truth to this
I swould say that there is no class here… else wise, I have no words
thenatural - April 18, 2008
Nope, you're right.
I suck. Sorry.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
So after being informed that it was more likely
a computer problem, I spent 20 minutes fiddling with my internet settings and found out I was wrong again. So officially, my apologies to The Rev (and indirectly, to Casey’sKOD) for suggesting he banned me for no reason. My only defense is that before today I didn’t really care one way or the other. I am now reduced to once again not posting at HH by inclination rather than necessity.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
rock no
he’s still our antithesis, M’s still kick fucking ass

thenatural - April 18, 2008
To be fair
You did try earlier. I sat behind you and watched, after all.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
Yes, but once I found it, the problem was stupidly
obvious, and I should have checked harder before I said something and got everybody fussed.
TheOptimist - April 18, 2008
I told you IE sucks. :-P
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
FF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thenatural - April 19, 2008
Eh
Every team gets their share of luck, the Angels got lucky when that ball stayed in the park, but the Mariners got lucky with those multiple line drives right at Beltre/Yuni/Sexson
OlSalty - April 18, 2008
I'll handle this
1) GTE. I trust you have become familiar with the term
2) The perception (note: perception) is that the Angels tend to get an awful lot of breaks and weak hits when they play us. Being that the only time we really watch the Angels is when they play the Mariners, we don’t see all the times the luck evens out, so they just come off as being a lucky team
Jeff Sullivan - April 18, 2008
I have seen the letters GTE 100 times now
do you have a link to the meaning?
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
GAME THREAD EMOTION!!!!!
OlSalty - April 18, 2008

http://llwiki.wikidot.com/game-thread-emotion-amnesty
CapSea - April 18, 2008
A link was posted above
but long story short, GTE = Game Thread Emotion. During and immediately following games, people here tend to make really irrational comments and arguments for which, under LL law, they cannot be held responsible.
Ordinarily GTE only extends to 10 minutes following the final out, but considering the nature of the final out today, I’m granting an extension.
Jeff Sullivan - April 18, 2008
10 minutes?
Lord. My family has extended me a form of GTE that persists to this day for Doug Eddings in the ‘05 ALDS. I think I’ve been given a lifetime pass on that.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
Your family is much more forgiving than we are
that doesnt mean we hate you
thenatural - April 18, 2008
We do not yet have October GTE rules for obvious reasons
Jeff Sullivan - April 18, 2008
someone help us if it ever comes to that.
Matthew - April 18, 2008
This is where
I could make a REAL obvious dick comment, but will refrain for…equally obvious reasons.

Well
I don’t expect you to relate to the emotions of a WS victory very well…but I assure you, it does.
Also, I’m a New York Giants fan so I’m sorta indestructibly happy with sports right now.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
Resident Cardinals Fan here
Adam Wainwright A) loading the bases in game 7 of the LCS, and then B) somehow striking out Carlos Beltran was the greatest baseball moment ever. 1,000,000x better than having the Tigers handing us the World Series.
JI - April 18, 2008
Yeah, instead of that
We got Game 6. Nothing can top the awesomeness that was that game.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
True
However we both have Player A to thank for a lot of things. I choose to forget this.
This is why when people don’t want to win if it means winning with Bonds I think “fuck that, my team won with Player Fucking A, it was rad.”
JI - April 18, 2008
and the Adam Kennedy 3 HR barrage.
JI - April 18, 2008
And the G.A. 3-run double
and the game two homer by Tim Salmon.
or overcoming the five run deficit in game 3 of the ALDS.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
Franky's Game 2 outing
(3 innings, 9 outs, 25 pitches 22 strikes) was up there as well.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
Honestly
that was just funny, because it shouldn’t have been physically possible. The second best moment of that series was Tim Salmon hitting the gamewinning 2-run shot in Game 2. Because say what you want about Eckstein or “Player A,” Tim had EARNED that shit.
What makes AK’s even better though, is realizing that the pitcher he did that to was a young Johan Santana.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
The fact that you use "Player A" warms my cold heart
Jeff Sullivan - April 18, 2008
I respect the board rules while I'm here.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
This is awesome.
I’d take Player A back in a heartbeat if it meant a WS title.

Yadier got robbed of the NLCS MVP
IMO. Without him, you guys don’t win. Given that Jeff Weaver and Suppan managed to hold down the mets, I can only assume that you could have put a rusty pitching machine on the mound and given up the same number of runs. But you don’t score more without Molina.
Zu Long - April 18, 2008
Well, the third one was Johan.
And that was the one that took the lead.

When I go back to the west coast (where I live), a lot of prospective employers ask me if it’s an Ivy league school because of its semi-snooty name, and the fact that everyone has heard of it. They seriously think it is…and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna be the one to correct them. Good to have morons think I go to a great school when it’s really just a ‘good’ one.

Graham MacAree - April 18, 2008
What's so bad about that?
From what I hear, Hogwarts is extremely selective.

I get bored of conversations like:
Them: Cambridge?! You can do MAGIC?!
Me: Fuck off tossers.
Graham MacAree - April 19, 2008

I'm actually upper-middle, too
which makes it twice as infuriating when I’m too polite to complain when someone cuts in the McDonald’s line.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
Fuck McDonalds.
Living in California gives you the opportunity of eating at that heaven-on-earth deemed “IN-N-OUT.”
redwolf75 - April 18, 2008
Yeah
but when someone cuts in the In-N-Out line, I’m not polite about it for that very reason.
Plus, the song lyrics say McDonald’s.
Caseys Kiss of Death - April 18, 2008
NO FUCK THAT
In-N-Out is sacred
