Thank you!!

I certainly believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. And I don't ask to have someone silenced for having an opinion I may not agree with.

But when someone posts on a game thread with the sole intention of ruining it for people trying to actually discuss the game, a mod should actually do something. I don't understand what pleasure some idiot gets from posting just to ruin a discussion, but it's awful damn pathetic.

That's just it, it was a perfect time for someone to step up and show some leadership. Instead, they are just part of the problem. They think that this free for all is actually good, and have no idea how much better this forum can be. :dunno:

Onley is apparently reporting that there are..... you ready for this.... concerns about Castro's defense. Shocking...

The shortstop position is an obvious area to watch for the Cubs, but Olney says (in the above-linked piece) that it may not all be positive. Starlin Castro has proven he can hit, but Olney says there are real concerns about how committed he is to grinding things out on defense. Chicago informed other teams this winter that it was open to trade scenarios involving the 25-year-old.

This is the story that never dies.

Leadership? We are here to keep shit organized and make sure it doesnt go over the top. If I needed to have those people banned, then you would have be banned as well. People can post in other forums. You do it in the Sox. So, stop being a child and ignore the poster if you do not like them.

Am I alone in wishing this was a day game? I hate it that Wrigley has lights. I miss day games.

Olney is full of BS as all of ESPN is. It's just like the announcers talking up Russell on Opening Night and making Castro an after thought. Each of them are a wash with their skills at SS.

Its the shiny new toy. People get tired of the same and always want something new. Maddon says you have to earn your spot. Well, Russell has never played a major league game. Kind of hard to push a 3 time all star off his spot when this guy has never taken a major league at bat.
