Christ, the Lounge tonight is nothing but goddamned baseball threads!

[NightTrain]

ENOUGH ALREADY! NOT EVERYONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT A BUNCH OF OVERPAID DIPSHITS CHASING A FUCKING BALL AROUND! GOD ALL-FUCKING-MIGHTY!!! :grr::nuke:

[alittlelark]

1. I started a thread about that 2 days ago

My heiny still has flame burns!!!:evilgrin:

[mermaid]

2. So Don't Read The Threads...

No one is MAKING you read the threads...there's a big, wide-open internet...and other Forums within this site alone...you don't wanna see baseball stuff, then go somewhere ELSE!!

CENSORSHIP SUCKS!!!

[flowomo]

10. Amen!

[Norquist Nemesis]

3. Not a baseball fan here

but I usually pay attention when it gets to this point in the season.

The real story is the connection of a come from behind WIN with Kerry's beloved Boston Red Sox...so cut some slack.

[spatlese]

4. I've been...

hiding baseball related threads all night!

[NV Whino]

5. Yeah, what is it? The World Series or something?

[ogradda]

6. i must have hid a good two dozen of those threads tonite

my clicky finger is sore :(

[TorchTheWitch]

7. ok, so

now you're bringing the baseball talk out of the lounge and into a forum where it doesn't belong.

:wtf:

[Tom Kitten]

8. karma ?

After all, "Havana Moon" IS one of Chuck Berry's best songs! :D

[Pithlet]

9. So you post one in GD?

:silly:

Seriously, let them us have our fun. People who don't follow baseball have no idea what a big deal this was.

[AngryAmish]

11. So, did you watch the game?

Red Sox and Cardinals won.

[Renew Deal]

12. It's one night.

You don't have to be here. Hang out in the meeting room.

[JohnKleeb]

13. now you know how I feel about cat threads with out the allergies

[miss_kitty]

28. I have 175 hidden threads

It may seem like there are that many kitty threads, and maybe 20 of the threads i hid are not baseball. There's never 150 kitty threads happening.

that said, I totally support the exuberance and the individual posts of everyone who is excited or sad about their teams win/loss. I got no trouble hiding threads. Just don't equate it with kitty threads. It does not come close. :)
GO SOX!
:D

[aldian159]

14. Well, here's your chance?

If you have something to say not regarding baseball, you have the stage.

[cheezus]

15. these threads are worse

threads started to bitch about threads other are starting. ack.

[rene moon]

16. Oh, go suck it!

And leave those who are happy in this crazy world alone for one night.

Pretentious!!

[Taverner]

17. It's more than just Baseball...

It's Bush v Kerry

It's the DNC v RNC

It's Hippies v Pinstripe suits

[PartyPooper]

18. Yeah! Those baseball fanatics need to get a life!

Preferrably in the baseball dungeon...if there is one. Otherwise, maybe Skinner will give 'em one!

:D

[Renew Deal]

19. I'll request one...

[Old and In the Way]

20. Not everyone gives a shit about your top 100 greatest hits of 1974, either

But you don't see people starting threads complaining about them, do you?

[Lorien]

21. Not like there's anything else IMPORTANT going on

in America right now...

[Renew Deal]

22. Not in NY and Boston

Those cities are baseball crazy.

[drhilarius]

23. Honestly, those who hate the baseball threads....

should lighten up. For months I've seen people on edge, anxious, terrified, mad with hope and utterly hopeless over the upcoming election. For just one night let people be ecstatic, euphoric, and let them boast and gloat and revel. If we can't have a little fun from time to time, then what the hell life are we fighting to preserve in this life or death election? And let's not forget the city of Boston itself. Right now in that town there are no Bush supporters and Kerry supporters, no Repubs and Dems. Tonight there are just Redsox fans...lots and lots of Redsox fans. So I think tolerating a few million baseball threads (rather than a few million cat threads) isn't too much to ask.

[Old and In the Way]

24. Exactly........

It's not like this happens every goddam week.

The game has been part of my life for, oh, 40+ years or so.....I feel sorry for anyone who can't appreciate and enjoy the game for what it is, a great social sport. It's got everything; teamwork, strategy, luck, skill. And you need pitching/fielding/hitting to win.

This might be the most incredible sporting accomplishment of all time. No one has ever tied a series, no less than win it after being down 3 games to none.

25. isn't it grand - so much better than some of the nonsense

that comes out of here at other times :):):)

[miss_kitty]

26. UMMMM Hide thread?

I have barely any baseball threads.

also it helps to get rid of them if you kick old threads from page 2 and so on-I've been doing that for the last two nights-It'd be good to have help!:evilgrin:

[2Design]

27. see the stupid threads are coming back - I googled such and such

and got - or we have 20 copy cat threads - much rather have baseball threads

[WilliamPitt]

29. You should start a thread about it
