So, I (just me-filihok) am getting fed up with reading 'announcer A is such a piece of becummed pubic hair, he said that Johnny Dickwads career batting average is .314 when it is in actuality .315. What a douchbag' posts every 15 seconds in the MLB Talk thread.
I think that type of post (is getting old) is more appropriately placed in the Stupid Announcers thread. What do you think?
:(
Is this really necessary?
Sure. Democracy in action
Let me just say that this thread really disappoints me. Seriously.
I just lost a lot of respect that I did have for you.
I'll surviveQuote:

EDIT 2 - 0 by the way
This "announcer" thread you mentioned had 2 posts on it and was last posted on a month ago before you necroed it today...to complain about people not posting on it...when I'm sure a good amount of people hadn't even read it let alone REMEMBERED it...it being a month old and all.

IMO, that MLB Talk thread should be closed regardless. But, that's me...
*shrug*
Yea, I know... and I wasn't really sure why he did, either. And then he created a new one.
:confused:
Yeah, that confused me a bit...Quote:

So... you bump a month old thread up to tell the people who aren't posting in it that you don't like what they're not posting in there.
Then, you post an unnecessary poll about topics you find unnecessary.
Sure, why not?
From what I remember, there was some stupid argument that was being carried on at the end of the original MLB Talk thread.
Anyway, I just don't understand the whole concept behind that thread. The whole forum is for "MLB Talk"...
I though that but I skimmed over the last page or so of it and couldn't find anything wrong with it. *shrug*Quote:

A place to talk about specific things in whatever game you're watching. I would hate to see threads like "Mariners vs Red Sox : May 17, 2009" fill up the board just so I can ask if anyone saw this or that happen.Quote:

No. I bumped up a month old thread to tell people who aren't posting in it that they should be posting in it since there was a thread specifically for that.Quote:

Fili's internet cred is like 10 now because of that comment. Internet is serious business.Quote:

I might have started today off being a ten, but now it is less-of course.
BTW 4 votes for Stupid announcers and 0 for MLB talk
::SHRUG::
I voted for the last option because I don't really care. It's on-topic for both threads.Quote:

Bad announcers is a sports topic, and we have every right to discuss. You don't have to read every thread made about them, or every post. So quit whining. Seriously.
That was my point RSR. If those types of posts, which annoy more people than just me, were put into a thread, I wouldn't have to read them, or skip over them.Quote:

If wassit were to post 'Today in History' in the middle of Cat's latest dynasty, people could easily skip over it, but there's a better way.
And, judging from the poll results-and common sense, it appears that most people think that 'Announcers are idiots' is as good a place, or a better place to post that than MLB Talk.
Im getting tired of people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining. So thereQuote:

Maybe you're not the only one "annoyed" by it...but you are the only one making a huge stink over it.
So, if it doesn't matter to most people, 40% of people think it belongs specifically in Stupid Announcers, and 0% think it belongs specifically in MLB talk then I'd ask those making these types of posts, as one forum user to others, to consider this data, along with the posts expressing annoyance, and please post those types of posts in the stupid announcer threads.
I'll continue posting it wherever I feel like it, so long as it's on-topic.
Of course, by your logic, there would be no new baseball threads in Sports Talk, considering it all falls under the category of "MLB Talk", so, it should all go there. :rolleyes:
Thank you. Your consideration to your fellow Mogulers is greatly appreciated. You are a quality human Houston.Quote:

Wow.. I usually agree with you Filihok, but your acting like Metsguy. Calm down and delete this thread, and just drop it.
I'm completely calm.Quote:

I actually wasn't taking it all that seriously until Ohms chimed in with his lack of respect comment which, of course, altered the course of history to the one we are stuck in now.Quote:

So, once again, since there are a few people who have expressed annoyance at these posts, and since 7 people out of 17 have voted that they would prefer these type of posts be kept in the thread specific to that topic, I will, once again, appeal to the humility and humanity of a few posters and ask if, for the enjoyment of your fellow BM Forumers, you would kindly post your 'I hate so-and-so announcer' posts in the MOST relevant thread, the 'Stupid announcer' thread.
Then, I'll accept you your logic, and I will appeal to the humility and humanity (as if this is a really such a serious topic that the humanity of the posters rests on it :rolleyes:) of a few posters and ask if, for the enjoyment of your fellow BM Forumers, you would kindly post your 'Major League Baseball non-announcer-related' posts in the MOST relevant thread, the 'MLB Talk' thread, and stop clogging up the Sports Talk forum with MLB threads when there is already a thread for the MLB.Quote:

Oh, and what about Rick Sutcliffe. What an idiot! I want him out as well!
And what about the Fox crew!!! Damn, McCarver bores me to death
