I slant negative, but there's a limit to how hard I'll tilt for sure.


When it comes to baseball at least.

If you think .500 is as bad as it can get, then I have some bad news for you...

Nah, they're pretty much locked in as a .500 team and have been for a couple of months.  I don't see any significant nosedive or deviation from how they've been playing.

Not that it matters because it's just a sports forum but there are certain members on here who get a lot more leeway from others when they're being negative.  I won't mention names, but they know who they are.  You, unfortunately, were never one of them.  Double standards exist in every facet of life and it's no different here.

Tired of this "they are young" crap. These are not a bunch of 19 year olds. The only one you can really use this for an excuse is Holliday. All these guys have been professional athletes for a handful of years. Good grief.

When the word "young" is used, don't confuse age with experience. They aren't toddlers, but some (maybe many) of them haven't experienced collective, poor performance. They'll grow from it, but that's little consolation to us right now.

Me and my son sitting in the splash zone tonight! (1st game of the year) Too bad we have to see Rogers, hope the bats are ready to go.

My kid got a ball from Mr. Splash so he was pretty happy.  Outcome of the game and the performance soured my mood a bit, then we had to wait for over 35 minutes before a light rail train finally passed the station to take us home, ugh.

Lol - sorry slide but you've got zero credibility on the topic of fan overreactions during a game thread. It's pretty gross that you'd even try. That self awareness thing you mention needs a little more work, chief.

Dude, I have never, ever said anything as absurd of some of the things said in this thread, and multiple posters agreed. I just haven't.

Trading Adley? Gunnar sucks? Fire Elias?

Like come on.

It is what it is. I'm just gonna keep posting and whatever people want to say they can say.

No you have zero leg to stand on and it’s pretty gross for you of all people to be getting after anyone. That’s absurd. It’s cringe.

I don’t have the desire to really go back through Ravens game threads but Slide’s act is laughable here. Complete lack of self awareness. Worse, he permeates it into other threads. I try to keep my grumpiness just to game threads although sometimes I slip

This is the same dude that told us 17,000 times that Burnes is a “solid 2”

That’s as dumb as me saying trade Adley

You went off on virtually every member the whole team, the FO, the manager, and the owner, over a random game in August.

I'm not going to belabor the point, but there's a huge difference.

You can think what you want. I'm not the only person that sees that what I say and think don't cross over into the insanity that was posted in this thread. If you think me mentioning it is cringe that's fine. It's true though.
