Poll question: Am I a Bonds Hater?
I think the lot of them are lying, cheating scumbags and am happy to see Bonds, Tejada, Clemens, A-Rod, McGwire, Sosa and the rest get whatever is coming to them. Does that make me a "hater"?

1. I voted for #2.
Why don't you want the Asian players to be held accountable, too?

3. One is a Bonds hater if they display a disproportionate
amount of hate, compared to other players.

For instance, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were treated like royalty, while Bonds was/is treated like a rapist.

Add to that, hysterical posts claiming Bonds is guilty, even though you haven't seen the evidence and most importantly, even though he claims he never knowingly took steroids.

If one falls under the criteria I laid out, yea, one is a blatant Bonds hater.

I suspect you are a hater, considering you've decided to associate the word scumbag with Bonds, even though he's never violated a single MLB rule, nor been found guilty of a single crime or violation.

9. You know, you've posted hundreds of comments about
Bonds, and I don't think one has exceeded six words.

You have nothing madinmaryland, except a phony list of teams you cheer for depending on which way the wind blows.

In fact, you never have anything interesting to say.

Just a bunch of one-liners you try to convince yourself are hilarious, when in fact, they put me to sleep.

10. Idiot. The whole idea is to put YOU to sleep, and make the sports forum
enjoyable again!

11. Well you're doing a good job puting me to sleep.
You're not even the least bit creative.

You had a perfect chance of bashing me with a funny insult and that's all you could come up with.

Maybe if you took some junior college or correspondence courses, you could learn the necessary skills to project confidence and humor.

All you have is combining my screen name with Upton's. That joke died months ago.

If you were a comedian, you'd never change your material, ha?

Even someone as uneducated as trumad is half way entertaining .. when he's not discussing penises and scrotums all the time.

12. Interestingly, I have the same reading about you.
Someone who has continually flooded this forum with BB threads, and lamblasting anyone does not agree with your perception of the world. Funnily, I have no desire to correspond with you, hence the tired old one liners that I refer to you as. There is no way that I can compete with you as a comediean!

Why would I want to bash you, when you do a perfectly fine job of it yourself?

BTW, I'm sure your ju-co degree from UT has perfectly suited you for life!

13. You're clearly obsessed. You have something to say after
every single post.

All little one or two word sentence fragments, followed by the predictable :hide: smilie or the :rofl: smilie.

And you follow me from thread to thread in the other forums, but never get involved in the conversation topics either.

It's beyond bazaar.

If you don't want to be funny, why don't you try to be intellectual.

All you do all day is post in the lounge or in the sports forum.

It's weird.

Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 04:53 PM by madinmaryland
Obviously you were not able to comprehend what I wrote in the previous thread, so I whatever I would say would not sink in. Why do you think I only post one or two word sentence fragments in response to some of your posts?

You, my friend, are the bazaar (sic) and wierd one with your infactuation with everything BB. You have labeled anyone who disagrees with your POV a Bonds Hater and many of the following:

Dick Chaney
Liar
School Child
not a Real Sports Fan
retarded
racist
homophobe
...
(feel free to add the names you love to call people)

Have you ever thought that maybe you are the one fanning the flames in the whole bb issue. Oh yeah, thought and reason is a foreign concept to you.

20. No the point is not to reply to each post two, three, four times
or more per thread.

That's what stalkers do.

I had a thread about the octuplet mother mistakenly moved to the lounge, and you couldn't have cared less about getting involved in the important social debate about whether hospitals have the right to not release babies to mothers they deem unfit, as opposed to CPS getting involved.

What did you type instead? Little one and two word lame fragments about cboynupton and blah blah you should see what he writes in the sports forum to a woman who didn't know what the hell you were talking about. In fact, I suspect she called the police because she was so weirded out.

I write about Bonds because he's in the news, and I'm a fierce defender .. so it's something I'm interested about.

You can be counted on to spam the thread with :rofl:'s and other brainless contributions, instead of discussing the issue like I've been doing with the classy Duer from Pennsylvania.

We disagree about just about everything involving the case, but we've been having a civil and interesting conversation.

What's been your lame-ass involvement? Making comments about where my wife is?

You'rer just such the scholar, ha?

26. I find it interesting that you feel that you say are able to discuss issues
in a very civilized way, yet I have yet to see any of that at least in the Sports forum, where you will immediately label anyone who does not agree with your very narrow minded view with some sort of "childish" name.

Maybe, just maybe, if you acknowledged that Barry Bonds is a human being and does make mistakes, the conversations would be a bit more civilized in this forum. It's one thing to be a so-called "fierce defender" but you seem to have become a star-gazed groupie who cannot admit that their idol may have made mistakes in his/her life.

You do realize that your making of the argument the if people here don't agree with you makes you a Bonds Hater, sounds eerily similar to George W. Bush. "You're either with us, or you're not".

Flame away, as I'm sure you will.

27. And I can say exactly the same thing about you.....You refuse to
acknowledge that Bonds just might be telling the truth when he says he didn't knowingly take steroids.

I can acknowledge that Bonds is a human being and does make mistakes because he should be more responsible about making sure he knows exactly what substance is going into his valuable body.

I'm far from a groupie. What I am is someone who is defending one of my players who clearly receives a disproportionate amount of hate from MLB fans.

Your with us or against us argument is dumb and irrelevant.

I still don't know whether you're a genuine Bonds hater or someone who simply likes to push my buttons.

This is the first response I've read from you that at least addresses the issue .. even though you couldn't be more misguided.

5. You're a Bonds hater
Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 12:21 PM by Upton
if you support the government intimidation of Greg Anderson's family.

You're a Bonds hater, if you believe the ends justify the means...as long as they get Barry.

You're a Bonds hater, if you've pronounced Bonds guilty before trial.

You're a Bonds hater if you've reserved the majority of your vitriol over steroids for Bonds.

You're a Bonds hater if you're constantly attacking Bonds, size of his head, testicles etc.. I've never heard that crap directed at McGwire or any of the others.

21. I used to hate Bonds because he left my Pirates.
I've gotten over it.

I now feel sorry for him.

for an AA team every season.

29. You mean a team that won the title in 2006?
Rooting for the Portland Sea Dogs ain't bad. The players try and the tickets are cheap. And then the players that are good end up going to Boston.

The team that's won two of the last five World Series and been in Game 7 of the ALCS twice more.

Your team has won...?

33. bwhahahahaha .. hilarious. Hold on while I hand you your
minor league baseball team ass on a platter.

If we're going to talk about minor league teams, let's talk about the team where I live .. the AAA Sacramento River Cats?



Surely you know that Sacramento has led all of minor league baseball in attendance during each of its first eight seasons at Raley Field. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento_River_Cats

They have also won the AAA baseball championship the past two seasons (2007 & 2008)

And they also won their division in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008

In other words, they are powerful, dominant and could easily kick your team's ass.

Here's 'Cat's website if you want to get tickets.

http://www.rivercats.com/

But good luck with that. :rofl:


Best minor league ballparks---------> http://usairwaysmag.com/2008_04/stadiums.php



You should do your research before you try to out minor league baseball team me. :eyes:
