Rawbeezeitz's Board-To-Board with Manny Stiles

I'm not talking about what you've said, just in general, you help make AGM look like another crappy sports messageboard with grown men hurling 12 year old insults at each other. So next time HJ pops up, don't respond to him, actually ignore him instead of responding to him with a 500 words about how much you're ignoring him, and maybe, just maybe, he'll go away.

GO AWAY TROLL

You are a turd and I don't care how gay you are or not.

Show me once where I called someone "gay" or "homo"

ONCE

otherwise shut the fuck up about it.

You have accused me of that dozens of times and I've NEVER done it.

I've accused people's behavior of seeming homosexual, non-heterosexual but have never, even once called anyone a "homo" or "gay". So stop it.

Be as gay as you want to be or not all you want, get offended as much as you want by my opinion of someone's behavior - I DON'T CARE>

I'm not a homophobe, I have plenty of gay and lesbian friends, relatives and coworkers. None of them get upset about these "terms" as much as you have demonstrated.

But every time you mention that it shows what kind of character YOU have.

Stop accusing people of things they haven't done, TURD.

If the message was just for him, why not utilize the handy dandy message feature?

And also, take your own advice and stop feeding the trolls. If you know who HJ is, just announce it instead of insinuating it, and stop allowing him to hijack threads by playing his game. I'm not blaming you for HJ's bullshit, but you do help turn his molehill into a mountain and it ruins threads and makes AGM look like just another two bit sports messageboard with people calling each other "turd" and "homo."

Just don't generalize about soccer fans when you don't know a single one. But if you insist on doing so, don't do it in a comment on a BASEBALL article. Okay? Thanks!

You'd better chill the fuck out, homey.

Your little rant is 100% entirely off base. You need to get your head out of your ass and realize the world doesn't revolve around you and neither do my comments.

I don't care what sport you think about, cheer for or regurgitate your insights about. That comment was NOT intended for your personal, almighty consumption, idiot.

If you're offended by a comment that I made, maybe it's because the comment is TRUE. Furthermore if you're offended by a generalization, that's YOUR fault.

But otherwise, get the fuck off my junk and keep your analysis of my personna to yourself because you ain't got a damned clue who or what you are blabbering your self-entitled spewage about...

I care less about you and your opinions than I do about minuses and points here at AGM. So next time you think something I say is directed at you, or at "Al Jefferson" or some other troll you're accusing me of "feeding" - wake the fuck up. You aren't worth that much of my attention.

Now - I know you can't fathom the art of the apology, so put your dense, fat, turd-shaped head down and walk the other way in shame, idiot.

I'm sorry that I'm not as amazing a sports fan as you are. I'm sorry that no matter how hard I try, I can never reach the pinnacles of fandom that you have surpassed. You've conquered the double black diamonds, and I can't even get past the bunny slope. It's utterly amazing how superior you are to the rest of us, because you like to watch minor league baseball, and I'm not a fan of MLS soccer. And I'd also like to apologize on behalf of all soccer fans, since apparently I am their representative. I've let them down. But more importantly, I've let you down, Mister #1 Fan in the Universe. I'm like the Antichrist of sports fans and you're Jesus Mohammed Buddha. It's uncanny, it's unreal. Thank you so much for sprinkling your superiority on all us humble wannabes and posers here.

But all sarcasm aside, stop feeding trolls like HJ and whatever incarnations he and those Jefferson guys come up with. They're attention prostitutes and you act like their pimp, making sure they get some.

And stop generalizing about soccer fans because you think you know one or two. I'm nowhere near the biggest or best soccer fan in the world, and strangely enough, I'm fine with that. I don't watch soccer to be the #1 fan in the world, I watch it because it's fun to watch. And I do know (like the real "know") soccer fans who follow almost every team in every league, including the WPS. So take your soccer generalizations and send them to 1985 when they were relevant sports talk fodder.

Phenomenal series, eh? Good luck against Phillies.

At least none of our pitchers are Satan worshipers.

The Angels aren't the Rays. John Lackey wouldn't be a fifth starter on the Rays.

The Rays won't lose two games at home like the Angels did.

These teams have a very long history of bad blood. The Angels were 8-1 against Boston in the regular season. Just a reminder that the regular season means fuck all now.

Should be a good series.

The Rays players all started sporting mohawks after Akinori iwamura got one - even the manager Joe Maddon has one!!!

The broom was in reference to the ensuing sweep that will occur - the Red Sox just blew their load on the Angels - a team they own - to face Tampa Bay - a team that owns them.

The Red Sox will have too much to overcome. Lowell's injury, Beckett's issues, the fact that the Rays owned the Sawx down the stretch... HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.

I could NOT ask for any other team to beat in the ALCS other than the Yankees, but it's even more fun when the Yankees DON'T make the playoffs, so yeah... this is my dream sequence.

Even if I didn't sell my fansoul last year, I'd REALLY enjoy this Rays team and would have been a fan anyway. Even if I wasn't a Rays fan, I'd still be salivating at this ALCS. The World Series might end up being melodramatic...

There's a TON of history between these two teams. The Shields v. Crisp episode, the Red Sox almost hired Joe Maddon instead of Terry Francona, all the way back to Gerald Williams v. Pedro Martinez.

NOTHING beats an AL East confrontation that is for all the marbles. Here's hoping the series is good and clean - no Jeffrey Maier, no Bill Buckner errors, no bullshit - just a good hard fought and exciting Rays sweep. (of course)

I want to START smoking again!!!

I always spell it chciago for some damned reason... like 7 out of ten times... damned fingers.

Funny that the Rays are sporting mohawks against Boston - where the Boston Tea Party participants dressed up like Mohawk Indians.

Let the Revolution Begin!!!

Chigaco... wow

I'll not lie, I don't understand that right now. But I am also drunk.

You and I have had our "disagreements" but I've always considered you a respectable individual and a more than worthy adversary. I'll be honest, the Rays are an extremely imposing opponent. They lost a game to Chigaco and rebounded with remarkable elacrity, and that's a good test of postseason character (losing then dominating the same team the next day). Of all the ALCS foes in the past decade the Sox have faced, the Rays might just be the most difficult to beat. They've got loads upon loads of character.

But here's to a good series, my friend. You know, I quit smoking almost a week ago. If anything can get me to smoke again, it might be a Rays/Sox ALCS. It probably won't. But either the Rays will dominate, or it will be a good/close series. There's no way the Sox will dominate, and I fucking love it. I love the thrill of October baseball baby!

Rant over.

I'm wearing a blue broom as a mohawk in preparation.

As it was meant to be...

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

yeah, yeah... it was a tpyo

I think you mean ALCS.

Gee, the Rays would have home field advantage in a theoretical Boston - Tampa Bay ALDS, wouldn't they??? That should be fun (and easy)...

In all truth, it's GREAT for baseball!

Good start for the AL East.

I won't say it to anyone who would ever bump into you!

It's just a word, dude. No disrespect was intended so calm down.

You don't EVER mention my wife and the word fuck in the same sentence again. In fact you don't talk about my wife or my kids EVER again.

There are lines you don't cross - a man's family is that line. Maybe one day you'll understand what a wife and family means to a man.

Say what you want about my Mom, my friends, my words or anything I do - but NEVER bring my family into the conversation.

Don't do it.

...so are the Red Sox for their last two games.

Good luck against the best pitching team in baseball, the Blue Jays!!!
