It's official. The goat of the 2009 all-star game is.....

[Onceuponalife]

btw, the style he pitches will almost certainly blow his arm out before he reaches the age of 30. Tommy John surgery, here he comes!

[RockaFowler]

1. The hair makes him look like a goat, too

Yuck!

[cboy4]

3. Leave it to a Marlins fan to evaluate the haircut of the Cy Young Award

winner.

Just when you think you've heard it all.

[RockaFowler]

9. What does that have to with being a goat??

Let's look at it this way. The Marlins, the team you insist on making fun of each and everyday, they are 2 for 2 in World Series. Your Frisco Giants are 0fer. So I guess you don't disagree with us when we say your guy was a Goat the other night. Because all you do is make fun of a team that likes to beat your team whenever they are in the playoffs. When you can beat the Marlins in the playoffs, then you can say something.

[cboy4]

10. Well (A), the Giants stomped the Marlins in their season series this

year, even though you guys some how talked the commissioner into letting Miami have an extra home game!!

And (B), why do you care whether the NL won or not. It's not like Florida has to be concerned about home field advantage in the World Series!

[Upton]

2. It's official the two REAL goats of the 2009 All Star game are...

David Wright, his poor throw led to 2 AL runs giving them the early lead....and Chad Billingsley, he coughed up the lead after the NL had retaken it.

[Forkboy]

4. You and cboy for not getting Panda in the game to start with.

As for the game, there was no real goat to me, despite the miscues. It was tie game going into the 8th, anybody's game still, and one swing decided it. Then Rivera did what he does...put the lights out (the guy is sick).

[cboy4]

5. You're kidding, right?

[Forkboy]

6. About and you and Upton? Never.

[cboy4]

7. No. You're kidding right? About how you don't think Billingsley lost

the game for the National League.

Naturally, you don't think so, because you were rooting for the American League.

[Forkboy]

8. I note your boy gets a pass on the goat thing.

Naturally, you don't think so, because you're the epitome of a homer. (You look epitome up...hint: it's not pronounced epi-tome)

[cboy4]

11. Homer must mean roots for team through thick and thin ,, not just

when they make the playoffs.

(Are you listening Florida fans)?

[Forkboy]

12. After 55 years you're provng that.

:rofl:

But no, this is what it means. I'm sure you're familiar with this concept as you started a thread about homer announcers not long ago.

homer: A sports fan who picks his/her team to win, despite objective evidence to the contrary.

"Don't make your bets based on what Dick says, his picks are always ruled by homerism."

Of course, you go waaaay beyond homer into downright creepy territory with your heroes, but we would expect nothing less from you.

[cboy4]

13. Let me find my pen. There we go, marking down another passive-aggressive

attack by forkboy, who refuses to acknowledge the difference between "creepy (which insinuated the need for psychiatric care) and loyalty.

[Forkboy]

15. I'm not insinuating anything. I'm flat out saying it.

You might want to acknowledge the difference between "creepy" and "loyalty" too if you're going to spout off about them. :think:

[cboy4]

16. The only reason I'm not going to say anything is because of your

heavily drinking again OP in the Lounge.

[Forkboy]

17. LOL...I drink three times a year, and that was the first since last September.

Nice to see you lashing out in frustration and fury and being even more like those Republicans you think you'll never be. :hi:

[cboy4]

18. Three times a minute?

[Forkboy]

19. Jesus, dude, what next? "I know you are, but what am I?"

[cboy4]

20. I've been in a really feisty mood since I beat you in our last argument

[Forkboy]

21. That's not even good trolling.

Guess I struck a nerve.

[cboy4]

22. Who says I'm trying to be a troll, which of course I'm not

There's a difference between being a FReeper troll and trash-talking in the sports forum.



MISTAKE

[Forkboy]

23. Not in your case.

[cboy4]

24. What a tremendous, wonderful future they have ... I cannot wait until

October 1, 2009

Location: Shark Tank, San Jose, California
Victim: Avalanche

[Forkboy]

25. Yeah, opening night victories are just like winning a Cup.

Let us know how that works out for ya.

[cboy4]

26. Looks like that's the same night the Bruins start digging their first hole.

:scared:

[Forkboy]

27. Says the guy whose team is the best known chokers in the NHL.

San Jose (Reuters) – A 12-year old boy is being hailed as a hero for his actions in a San Jose restaurant yesterday afternoon.
The boy was dining with his parents at the up-scale ‘Loft Bar & Bistro’ on Second St., when a man began to choke on a piece of steak he was eating. The man’s face began to turn red as he pointed frantically at his hockey jersey.

Luckily for the man, 12-year old Steven Cooper knew what to do.

“I saw the man point to his Sharks jersey” recalled Steven. “I knew from past years that around late April anyone wearing a San Jose Sharks jersey is prone to choking, so I suspected he was in trouble.”

The boy proceeded to run across the restaurant and administer the Heimlich maneuver.

“That boy saved my life.” Said the man, wishing not to be identified. “This Sharks jersey is better than a giant sign that says ‘help me I am choking in late April.’”.

Several Sharks players, who were getting a pre-game drink, witnessed the event. Patrick Marleau, the Sharks captain, had a front row seat for the heroism.

“This kid came from nowhere, what a hero.” Marleau stated. “I wish I could prevent choking like that,” He added.
Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabakov was also in attendance.

“That child, so brave!” Said the goalie as he mishandled his butter knife, dropping a dinner roll that hit the ground and rolled slowly between his feet as he attempted to stop it. “Darn, that always happens to me”.

Cooper’s parents said they raised the boy as a Sharks fan, and that may have been the best decision they ever made. “Only a boy used to so much choking would have been able to save that man, and little Stevie has been around choking his entire life.”

[KamaAina]

28. Rebound Forkboy, he SCORES!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That can't possibly be real, can it? I can only find it on a bunch of sports boards... (note that the dinner roll dropper's name should be spelled 'Nabokov', like the novelist)

edit: the scary thing is, I might well be in the Bay Area in time for next year's choke job...

[Forkboy]

29. Well, the Marleau and Nabakov parts ring true.

;)

[bigwillq]

14. He just has a bad night.

I didn't think he pitched all that well. Great pitcher, though.
