What MLB team do you root for ?

I'm simply curious.

comparing the accomplishments of a rookie call up (less than a week after his debut) to a list of seasoned players, is idiotic.

it's equally idiotic to reply to that post several months later.

this post is as bad as those we see from people who annually predict the O's will win 90+ games. then they crow that they were "right all along" when the O's finally do it 10 yrs later.

I agree with your comment about people who annually predict 90+ wins for 10 years and then brag when it finally happens 10 years later. Au contraire, are you aware that I predicted 95 wins and the playoffs for the O's in 2012 and they actually won 96 games and made the playoffs? That was really brilliant.

The O's go 84-78 next year and miss the playoffs. Take it to the bank.

I agree with your comment

I know, because my remarks enlightened you and made your life extrordinarily better than it was the moment before you read them. but it's rude of you notto thank me for it.

What's this "notto" thing? Is that where you bet $1 and win a million?

Anyway, thanks for all your thoughts expressed on this board. You're definitely in the top tier but the very top spot is already occupied.

I'm sure Ken appreciates you refering to him. and if you ever hope to ascend to his heights, you'll need to do much better.

Ken is very, very good and also top tier but nowhere near the top spot. That spot is occupied by the expert who predicted 95 wins and the playoffs in 2012 and missed by one win. Ken has the advantage of knowing the expert's 2013 prediction (84-78 and no playoffs) while Ken immerses himslf in stats preparing his own prediction.

If Ken or you render a more accurate prediction than mine in 2013, I will gladly surrender the crown of most knowledgeable poster. Good luck to you both.

You have quite a bit of catching up to do.

you actually have to possess something before you can give it up?
