OMG, baseball does not need IR. Why slow down the game anymore?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, who wants to get the calls right?

OK, how do you set up a criteria for which plays get reviewed? A challenge system? What are you going to do to penalize wrong challenges? Or go back to the old NFL system and IR anything that may be close?

[/ QUOTE ]


I really don't see what would be wrong with challenges, especially in a game like today's. maybe one challenge per team, per game. some guy in the booth reviews it. balls and strikes cannot be reviewed.

doesn't seem too bad.

Ridiculous. A pox on the Rockies and their annoying bandwagon fans (not that the D'Backs' fans are any better, but they're definitely less annoying). I want the Phillies to absolutely buttsex the Rockies into the next millenium. I care more about the Phillies winning than the D'Backs. That ending tonight was stupid, plus Philadelphia's teams couldn't win a bingo game surrounded by blind people plus I'm bringing serious hate for Colorado, let's do this.

this is so nitty... who cares if people have just recently started rooting for the Rockies to come through?

[/ QUOTE ]
Uh, because most of the people in the stands tonight think that 6-4-3 is an area code? Sorry, that bothers me, even if I am not the most devoted fan.

That throw from right was so bad that even Barry Bonds says it was a horrible throw.

[/ QUOTE ]

And yet, it wasn't the worst throw by a Pads OF tonight.

This whole fairweather concept is kinda nonsense. If you had any idea of how terrible the managers and owners did in Colorado.. many fans chose to not support their product until they fixed it. Denver is a die hard sports town, but we demand a good effort from ownership.

There is no sense in spending money on product that is not worth it. That has been the view in Denver from the beginning. You put out a good effort, and fans will sell out every game.

Good response. This is a football town. When the Nuggets put a good product on the floor.. games sell out. Same as any other sport besides football. If the ownership is poor and not commited (which there is NO debate that Rockies ownership was not committed) then people don't go. Doesn't seem that strange.

All,

My official stance:

permaban Rockies fans
tempban Cubs fans until they are eliminated from the playoffs
Phillies fans for mods
D'Backs fans get benefit of the doubt

Hope that clears things up.

Because bandwagon fans are really [censored] annoying people, usually people who know nothing about the team and then go to playoff games (because they have a lot of money and going to Rockies games is now the trendy thing to do) and say [censored] things like why does that man have to go back to his base after that other man catches the ball.

[/ QUOTE ]

I hate the kind of front-runners you're talking about. I bet some "real" COL fans exist though. I'm happy for them, amazing last 2 weeks from a team that has given no reason to get exicited for over a decade. They haven't really had any reason to post on 2p2, ever.
