Astros @ Pale Hose, 8/16/22

There’s no such thing as perfect knowledge. We have limited information and utilize tools to fill in the blank spaces. No one knows the inner dynamics of this team, so we are left to speculate and impart our biases.

I do not engage in personal evaluations nor criticisms. I don’t play in that sandbox. I must confess, however, the Trump reference was particularly clever.

Most of us do not pretend to be pseudo intellectuals. We are baseball fans here with no pretensions. Most of us are anyway.

Then why bring up Trump? Stop trying to turn things political. You try to boss people around way too much and get irate when they don’t listen to you or do what you say. Don’t be so sensitive and try to just enjoy our great team this year.

In his post game interview, JV claims it was to go over the scouting report.

Sounds likely to me. I cannot imagine there is even the least bit of dissension.

It’s the closest we have to a test of religious fealty. This is a secular era where the standard of morality is despising Donald Trump, to the point where doing so absolves a person of literally everything else and renders them Saved.

The post is not an outlier; it is consistent with a moral world view.

This is a two sided coin, with the “Saved” version taken literally on one side.

Couldn’t have said it better. It’s amazing the amount of people who can turn on you and hate you (even if they don’t know you personally) the minute something remotely good is said about Trump. There are some people that you could just say “Trump” and their eyes turn bloodshot, face turns red and they begin to start shaking in anger. It’s a shame that people let politics ruin things.

What a weird place to take a GZ thread.

Agree, thanks Jim.

Pseudo intellectual and obnoxious.

Kinda like my stalker.

I don’t think anyone would want to stalk you, Jim.

That’s for supporters. Hard left wingers with anarchist leanings like his accelerant properties.

Can you guys go circle jerk on truth social? An aside reference to the coining of the phrase “alternative facts” in response to “counterfactual observations” isn’t really a reason to climb up on your Trump cross here, especially in the service of accusing everyone else of hysteria-tinged overreaction.

No thanks, not a Facebook, Truth Social media fan. Jim turned it political first. The circle jerk is the “inevitable you know who” thread. Limey is the pivot man of that thread.

Regardless of who starts it, in any direction, can the replies go in the “you-know-who” thread? I’ve had that one on mute for a long time and would prefer not to have to mute random TZ and GZ threads when these arguments start.

I am not in any argument, and my part in this thread was to ask Boomer Sooner to tone down his incessant negativity. I bailed on this thing a while ago; it got too weird for me. I have no idea what all my stalker has said, and I am glad to not know.

PS I took no shots at D Ward’s hero. My reference was to his first press secretary.

Once again, no one wants to stalk you Jim. Get over yourself. You mentioned me by name first and insulted me by calling me a “dumbass.” I don’t appreciate that. I’m not the type to kiss your ass either. Evidently you have me blocked and click on my “hidden comment” to read what I am saying. So, if anyone is stalking, it is you.

I would think that having a stalker in one’s dotage would be grounds for gloating

Dotage? Seriously? You do not know me, you have never been around me, you have never talked to me, yet you think I am feeble and senile?

Congrats. Old Man jokes are common in OWA for as long as I have posted here, and I have laughed at them along with my friends, but you found a new way to insult me. I did not laugh at this.
