February 20, 200521 yr Jack McKeon stood outside the batting cage, savoring the sight as a muscular left-handed hitter took his first spring training swings. "He's some guy we just picked up off the street," McKeon said. "He might have a chance to make the club."
February 20, 200521 yr I don't really mean to look at this in a condescending manner and I'm not contemptuous of Jack but that joke isn't so funny. I don't feel disdain for Jack but I was not amused by that joke. When you pay someone a prodigious sum of money just to simply play baseball they're not just an ordinary person off the streets.

Anyway, keep working on your vocabulary. :thumbup

I was trying to bring out a point that had the manager of any other team said that you guys wouldn't have laughed our looked at it in a positive perspective. You guys have to be impartial, not biased!
February 20, 200521 yr I don't care what you guys think, but I thought it was funny. 690814[/snapback] It was. It's a typical Jack McKeon line. Gotta love it.
February 20, 200521 yr I guess I won't completely comprehend these type of jokes until I'm his age...
February 20, 200521 yr I guess I won't completely comprehend these type of jokes until I'm his age... 690817[/snapback] That was funny. :cool
February 20, 200521 yr My God, do things have to be so politically correct... Jack was just making a joke to liven up the mood. If any other manager said the same thing, it wouldn't have mattered. People would have laughed anyway.
February 20, 200521 yr I guess I won't completely comprehend these type of jokes until I'm his age... 690817[/snapback] That was funny. :cool 690828[/snapback] Thanks. But you must admit that some of Jack's jokes are cryptic. He just gets lossed in the moment sometimes and gets perhaps too joyous and says unamusing jokes.
February 20, 200521 yr :plain This one was funny. 690841[/snapback] Is your implication that I think low of Jack? If so then let me tell you that youre wrong... Whenever the Marlins are in need of words of exhortation Jack gives it to them. Jack is a great manager in every aspect and I will always be grateful of him for leading us to the WS in 03.
February 20, 200521 yr I never stated nor implied that you didn't like McKeon. Just pointing out that McKeon's joke seemed funny to me and that you shouldn't take these things so seriously. :thumbup

I just made a point that perhaps you wouldn't have found it to be funny had it been said by someone who you despise. You know I can do whatever I want to do...and if I don't find something funny then I could say that I don't find it funny. I'm not going to be biased and say that everything so and so says is funny just because I like him...
February 20, 200521 yr Author I don't think you'll ever be able to comprehend Jack's jokes . Get over yourself, and while you're at it, stop crapping up my thread with your nonsense.

However, like Fritz said, had you been there or heard a clip of it, you might have been amused. :thumbup

Remember: The greater wisdom one has the more one realizes that one is lacking wisdom. In other words the more you know, the more you know you don't know. So since I have a lot of wisdom I know that I am lacking a lot of it aswell. So I am well over myself.
