double standard.

ok.

 

[dabynsky]

ok.

All right then good to know. It would be nice to see that standard carried over to the other baseball forum, but expecting consistency would be too much to ask I guess.

There's a difference between not agreeing with you in the Cubs forum and you saying that we're not allowed to be sarcastic about what other people (not just Cubs fans. It's not all about you) say.

The difference is a certain level of decorum apparently is expected from opposing fans in this forum, but that same level of civility has rarely been granted in the opposing forum. And that is what gets really old.

im rarely in the cubs forum.

im rarely in the cubs forum.

Yeah same.

So I'm not really sure who Dabs is referring to. Probably Joe because Joe is an idiot and says stupid stuff in the Cubs forum.

All right then. I will grant you the same.

I'm not saying that you have to agree or even be nice. But complaining about what we say that is sarcastic towards something is ridiculous.

I don't think I've seen anything ridiculous like that happen from a Sox fan in the Cubs forum. Joe doesn't count.

 

[DewsSox79]

if its joe just tell him to go back to the sox forum.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

All right then. I will grant you the same.

No one says that you have to stop posting here. because I don't mind having an argument with you about the Sox in this forum.

 

[nickofypres]

Yeah same.

Ditto.


Also: I like Dabs.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Agree. He's a good non-Sox fan part of this forum.

Yankees one out away from putting away the Indians.

Anyone else noticed that the Indians haven't been playing well at all lately?

They've gone 4-6 in the last ten while the Sox are just above that at 5-5. They had a great chance to take the division back and get a good lead while Sox were struggling and they couldn't do it.

If Indians start to get out of the race, I'm still afraid of all the teams but they might all be too far out to come back as long as the Sox don't suck it up in the second half of the season.

 

[nickofypres]

I noticed. They're really streaky, probably streaker than we are.

 

[DewsSox79]

well its nice to have a 2.5 game lead going into ny.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

I think if the Indians remain as the only team with a shot to win the division, that the Sox are in good shape.

1043-997 against them all time
78-62 against them since the WS Champ year.
49-35 against them since last time Sox won division.
28-20 since 2010
19-11 since 2011
8-4 this year

Doug Fister 2.72 ERA, but he sucks because he's never had a winning record.

Fister throwing batting practice.
