It's time to stop the ridiculous back and forth on this forum.
This is a baseball, fun, informative, amusingly stupid and "Can you believe...?" type of dialogue vehicle. To push it as far as we have with accusations, blown-up negative narratives, crazy apologies, finger-pointings and overall lack of respect for each other gets a bit tired. It is sometimes entertaining - no, not really.
I can understand if you have a problem with something that happened on the field and need to tell everyone, but please do it in a way informs, not infuriates. And if you respond to it, do it in a manner that explains, not enflames.
Heck, we are all entitled and encouraged to post our opinions, gripes, complaints and observations. That should continue. But when it seems that anything that gets posted becomes a personal attack, it's time to pull back and think about what you are saying and how you say it. There are times and places to be vehement in making your point or defending yourself, but as far as I am concerned this forum is NOT the best place to do it.
If there is a problem that needs to be addressed as a league-wide issue, it should be done within the confines of the league - not the open box of the internet. From players making extremely incendiary remarks to league officials promising discipline, please remember that this is a billboard, not a closed court room. Whatever you write is out there for everyone, everywhere.
I am far from a prude, I am not the king of the moral obligation and I don't always know right from wrong (because wrong sometimes feels so right). But can we please think before we write on this site?
I'm not looking for an "Amen" or even a "Shut Your Potato Hole" response. I'm not looking for ANY responses. I'm just looking for us to think a little more.
Whether you want a response or not your 100% right. This is getting out of hand and it's time we use this forum to give scores and highlights and any other information pretaining to league matters such as changes relating to fields, schedules, informative notices, and programs.
I completely disagree - Ray, you are a prude. Maybe I just didn't use the right words, but I could never get to third base......
Amen. In most cases, there are about 50 people on the entire friggin planet that know we're out there - sorry for the bad language. Of those 50, maybe 30 actually care what happens during/before/after/as a result of our game. As long as we make it home in one piece, the other 20 put up with us.
Fight like hell to make your plays, let the umps do what they're paid to do assessing your plays, and in the rare circumstance......they may offer insight into how you might make the play better next time (claiming the 5th here).
God I love this game! Tommy Smith 16 Cutters (28+) 16 Mets (38+)
