You’re taking all of this way too personally/seriously.

Folks here are actually trying to have fun just like you. The climate in the room might be different than what you’re used to and there’s certainly a “way” here. You might think it’s a pain in the ass, but honestly this “way” is what makes this board what it is and once you get it, you wouldn’t want it to change for anything. It’s one of the last truly positive social experience to be had on the internet these days.

Enough frontier gibberish…

An example… last night, I ruined a no hitter. I clearly ruined it and this wasn’t in dispute. Take your lumps and enjoy the place. It’s a rare place to find anymore these days.

I certainly agree this team does not go as Dubon goes. And the idea of a player playing rather than sitting his way out of a slump is fine.

The issue I have specifically with Dubon is that he shouldn’t be an everyday player, even at his best IMO.

Even at his best, his bat is not good enough to be an everyday LF or RF. Again, IMO.

He shouldn’t be, but this team’s makeup the last two years has forced him to be.

Hmmm…I’ll bring it up at the next staff meeting.
