Thank you.

 

Those of you that can't have a discussion with me, just go to your fantasy leagues, play your MVP Baseball, go hang out with your little league coaching buddies that never played the game, and when you're ready to go to sleep, grab a picture book that you can clearly understand.

Saying that we win regardless of whether we get a postseason birth or not, pretty much discredits anything you have to say. You don't like Jack, that's fine (and quite obvious), but to say that you'd be just as happy with this season's outcome if we don't make the playoffs tells me that you have no ability for rational thought. We play to win, not to make PositiveHype feel good about who manages the team.

 

Don't think so highly of yourself. I can understand your drivel quite well. (At least I can symantically. Your rationale, on the other hand, is utter nonsense)

 

Oh, and by the way, stop masterbating to "YOUR CREDENTIALS", because frankly no one cares about them nor are they impressed by them. Let the logic of your arguments do the talking, not your self-ascribed laurels.

Thank you.

 

PositiveHype, I'd like to know what high school team you coach so I could come out and see the baseball genious at work.

941366[/snapback]

 

Because of issues with teaching contracts, I can't reveal which school I'm at because it's in violation of the section related to personal gain, but I will say this. Pay attention to the highschool championship tournaments this year and I'll throw a hint at you you all during an interview and you will all know who I am. Keep in mind, because I value my job, if you try to confirm it, I will deny it, but you'll know it's me and you'll see how idiotic some of you sound. I hope none of you have kids that play for me.

Fair enough.

But if I had a kid that played for you and he was real good you would punish him for not agreeing with his dad on a message board? That's real professional of you.

I think that everyone in here has A.D.D. This thread was supposed to focus on the bif showdown between the Marlins and Astros and we're posting crap about irrelevant matters.

 

Let's get back to this series.

I wouldn't punish a player. I would just be concerned that you wouldn't trust my decisions, especially if it involved your child. If during a season your child was hitting .650, has 15 HRs, drove in 50 RBI, and got 40 SBs, he'd be my best friend and you could call me an idiot all you want.

wow.....this is a ridiculously stupid argument...if your such a big man Hype then end the argument and shut up.

It is a stupid argument. I'm trying to steer it towards the series between the fish and stros, but I have been unsuccessful.

 

Hey, I know that this is kind of ridiculous, but most of this Marlins season hasn't made sense. How about the closers for the 2 teams. Who would've thought that Jones would have better overall success than Lidge this year? Especially, when there was a time that the Marlins would have jumped all over the opportunity to deal for Lidge (and probably still would) if he were available, like rumors stated earlier this year.

time 2 show them vets its time 2 retire :thumbup

Wow, if we win it all, we may have Jack (off) McKeon for another couple of seasons. Well, no matter what happens this year, it's a win-win situation. Either we will celebrate another championship in Downtown or we'll finally be relieved of the burden of what seems to be at times some confused manageing/coaching decisons.

A win-win situation ? Uh ... you sir are an idiot.

 

Not making the playoffs because we lose this series IS not a winning situation because we lose Jack " I won a world series as manager of the Florida Marlins just 2 short years ago" Mckeon.

It's amazing how people can just refer to other people as "idiots" for stating opinions that differ from their's without even knowing the person's credentials.

I guess that you must have alot more credentials than I do when it comes to baseball since you consider me an idiot. Forget the fact that I have been involved with the game for nearly 30 years as a player and a coach. Forget the fact that I am currently coaching and am in the high school system winning most of the years that I have been coaching. Also, ignore the fact that as a player and coach, I have championship rings at both the college and high school level, both as a coach and player. So I'm a total moron. You're right in calling me an idiot for stating my opinion. I'm sure that YOUR CREDENTIALS are far above mine and qualify you to make such a reference to me. I'm sure that you're not one of those guys that never played and thinks that he's a genius because he plays fantasy league or MVP baseball. I certainly can tell that your playing days didn't involve you being refered to as the "automatic out" in your team's lineup and that you were highly touted as a player and have fond memories of being a star at college and having been drafted by a MLB team. Again, you're right; I'm an idiot and you're the genius. I hope that when the season starts for us again that my team doesn't have to face yours because I'm sure that you're going to eliminate my team's chances at winning another state title.

 

Also, amazing is the blind cult following of Jack McKeon. Next you'll be telling me that G.W. Bush's friends aren't benefitting from the rising prices of petroleum and that his efforts with the Louisiana's disaster proves that Kanye West was incorrect in stating that "Bush doesn't like Black people."

 

If Jack gets fired I can almost see alot of you jumping into Biscayne Bay. Come to think of it, some of you thought that Jeff Torborg wasn't a bad manager either.

What's your fax number ? I'll send my resume right over ! :plain

 

Yes you are a moron if you think not making the playoffs this year is a GOOD thing because the guy that WON THE FREAKIN' WORLD SERIES 2 years ago would get fired.

Why send me a resume? Don't beg me for a job. I'm sure that with your genius and credentials that you'll be able to get another high school to hire you as their baseball coach. Then you'll see how much genius you have or lack. Obviously the fact that you stick to one thing as your argument indicates that you lack deep baseball knowledge. Hell, you're probably a bandwagoner since all you can bring is the "the guy that WON THE FREAKIN' WORLD SERIES" argument to the table. Just go play your fantasy league or go coach T-ball and leave me alone.
