Good lord. You made sure to get jabs in at all the regulars who aren't Giants fans didn't you? Didn't you make some sort of statement recently about you don't gloat?:shrug:

3. What's funny, is the cboy* posts definate flamebait material, and then
has at least one of the intendeds on ignore! It's kind of nice though, as I don't have to sort through his chaff.

9. As much as I want to post about LA, and my hope they choke .. that's
Edited on Mon Jul-27-09 03:31 PM by cboy4
not in the same shameful ball park as having a losing season every single year since the early 1990's.

On Edit: I can't believe you're not voting for Washington.
You don't think losing 120 games this season (which is guaranteed after the trading deadline), is shameful?

12. Of course I do.
But I would rather add, believe it or not...the likely failure of the team to sign Stephen Staussburg, which is what I'm hearing might happen next month.......:banghead:

10. You need some help?
Why I should be nice to you I'll never know.

In all their 16 years of existence, the Rockies have never won their division.

14. Yea, maybe the next time the Giants and the Rockies play, you will
acknowledge the games the Giants win.

There's nothing worse than a gloater who hides in the basement when his team loses, but pokes his finger in the faces of people when his team wins. :thumbsdown:

As for your example, there are plenty of other teams that are in far worse shape (Kansas City, for one .. Cleveland another), than the Rockies.

So you don't qualify for the poll.

19. That is truly shameful. And the fact that they are tying themselves
to the city the hate!

21. So in conclusion, perhaps you will grow some balls in time for the
next match-up.

Because I won't be in any mood to put up with another round of the bullshit you dished out this past weekend.

32. Cboy, in case you can still read this...
Could my silence and gloating have had something to do with me actually attending the game Sunday when I had said weeks ago that I would witness the Rox taking the series from the Giants?

Good luck buddy.

20. Prediction: The Natinals will fail in their quest to set the all-time single-season loss record
they already have 30 wins, and it's still July. The 1916 Philadelphia A's went 36-117. For a 162-game schedule, the 2003 Tigers went 43-119; the '62 Mets :P went 40-120 (they must have had a couple of rainouts they didn't make up).

The 1899 Cleveland Spiders (now Indians) set the all-time record for futility at 20-134, but I just knew someone would say "But that isn't the modern era!".

23. Lets see
I'd rate them like this:

1. Pirates (it's history)

2. Chokers

3. Marlins

4. Nats (only 4th because their breaking of the losing record is not a sure thing)


All 4 teams are an embarrassment not only to baseball but to the cities and areas in which they reside.

25. Yea, especially lowly Pittsburgh...Can you imagine any MLB organization
ever coming half way close to finishing below .500 --- for what will most certainly turn out to be two decades straight, and more likely one quarter of a century and more?!

It's unbelievable!! :wow:

Wait until somebody signs Michael Vick (who's team fight song should then become "Who Let the Dogs out?")

34. I couldn't imagine the lounge
I did a search for GD and it was 2 Gates threads he posted in. Nothing in there that I could see would warrant a ban but I just skimmed through the posts. I also have no idea who posted the deleted posts in those threads as well as in the deleted sub-thread.

Like you said it won't be the same around here and it was fun having him around.

Madinmaryland knows that's true. And every time i did, he made a sarcastic comment and ignored it. But, i did try to warn him.
