ESPN Board members unite

[saintstephen11]

sick of the way ESPN runs their boards? Start posting here. If we can get the better poster to stop here then we can have a much better environment to discuss the Sox or anything else we wish to talk about. I also suggest using your original screen names here.

Amen brother.

I think TD just registered here...lol

[saintstephen11]

cool. It is the way of commerce. If you don't like the way you are treated, take your business elsewhere. If ESPN loses everyone then they might wake up.

[saintstephen11]

if we can get phifer, sirmo, OBP, iphraud, zabs, skeeter, ceb, goodfellow, et. al. to come here we can make this place a good forum.

i can add quantity. not necessarily quality, but definitely quantity. :woohoo:

OBP is already here, as is ceb. TD seemed to have some issues registering.

Honestly, if he came over here, the domino effect would be startling...

[saintstephen11]

Td is in da house!

[JBay44]

Wow, I hope the guys who run this page realize the ramifications...

[Godsbury]

But what if Doc shows up with one of his names.....

[JBay44]

But what if Doc shows up with one of his names.....

Who cares? He can't get anything deleted.

[saintstephen11]

It is getting near quitting time over there, but I will continue to post the link until everyone is over here. It may takes days or weeks but I'll make it happen. They banned me four times today already.

[trotdaubach]

eh, we tried this somewhere else once and it went nowhere.

I'm touched. And not in the altar boy way.

BTW - who is "et al" ? I never saw him post

[saintstephen11]

I lost sainstephen11, BobBlowsBoyScouts, AllahIsahFake, SukaMiDikMaude and SaintStephenTheSequel. I guess that makes 5 bannings. I'll have ten before all is said and done today.

[JBay44]

Well, it's worth another try. People just are used to typing "espn.com" into the web browser. It takes time and repetitions to get it down.

[saintstephen11]

I am motivated this time. I am more pissed at ESPN than I am at doc or bob or whoever.

[mike16v]

You guys need any assholes over here?

hmm, i thought all that was ceb. goes to show how much i pay attention. :icon_hang

[saintstephen11]

yep. the more the merrier.

[trotdaubach]

nice softball pic you ****nut.

[Godsbury]

well I am here so I guess there is always room for more assholes:with:

[saintstephen11]

hmm, i thought all that was ceb. goes to show how much i pay attention. :icon_hang

you should have seen some the crap I wrote in the reinstatement box each time they banned me. I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face.

[mike16v]

nice softball pic you ****nut.

I forgot I already had a profile over here. I tried leaving once before, but it's such a pain to try and learn all the new users.

[saintstephen11]

If we can get some people over here while the game is on (instead of the ESPN board) it will go a long way getting this place going.

[Godsbury]

mine werent very pleasant either.....I am thinking that mentioning that the Mods wife come over to my house so she could blow a real man will not endear me to them

[trotdaubach]

i sent in about 50 of those during a game one night. since i couldnt post under my name anything i wanted to post i would write in the reinstatement reason. "yea pedroia" or "lugo sucks" etc. i found it so funny.

[saintstephen11]

LOL. I didn't use that one, but next time.

exactly it takes effort. and whose to say this site doesnt just shut down soon.

[saintstephen11]

I usually write "I didn't do it" and get my name back, but I am guessing it is gone for good on that board.

[SamBam39]

Please everyone is welcome here. We would love to have you all join us for the MFY's gamethread tonight.

[trotdaubach]

Please everyone is welcome here. We would love to have you all join us for the MFY's gamethread tonight.
yea, let's talk about that profile pic.

[LennyJD]

Oh hello fellow POS ESPN board refugees.

[mike16v]

exactly it takes effort. and whose to say this site doesnt just shut down soon.

Good to see your posting frequency is already all the way up.

[saintstephen11]

If the post count on the ESPN board drops to next to nothing they may make some changes. If everyone leaves they have to take notice right?

[saintstephen11]

I feel right at home here. Anyone got a beer? TD - pass the ottoman over here.

[LennyJD]

If the post count on the ESPN board drops to next to nothing they may make some changes. If everyone leaves they have to take notice right?

One would assume so.

[Goodfellow9]

The ESPN Sox board will look like the Rays board soon.

On the Rays first page there were threads from the World Series

[Godsbury]

yea, let's talk about that profile pic.

please....not already

just let it go

[saintstephen11]

The ESPN Sox board will look like the Rays board soon.

LOL. There were a couple boards where people used to go and talk in private because no one ever posted on those boards. I think they were obscure college boards if I remember correctly.

[SamBam39]

yea, let's talk about that profile pic.

Umm is there a problem with it? ;)

[saintstephen11]

Last post on ESPN board was 17 minutes ago.

[LennyJD]

I wonder if everyone here has the same opinion we all do on Papelbon...

[trotdaubach]

Good to see your posting frequency is already all the way up.
i will have more than anyone on this board before long.

[Godsbury]

Umm is there a problem with it? ;)

please dont......we just got here and we dont need a Papelbon Holy War

:parry:

[saintstephen11]

Umm is there a problem with it? ;)

TD is not a huge Paps fan. He used to be, but when he moved to closer he fell out of love. The love/hate arguments have been going on for 3 years on the ESPN board.

[LennyJD]

please dont......we just got here and we dont need a Papelbon Holy War

:parry:

We need to ensue this forum with our opinions and rage about....ahem

[Godsbury]

i will have more than anyone on this board before long.

I am taking 3:45pm thursday as the time you take the lead in the pool

[saintstephen11]

a Wang thread will liven this place up. ;-)

where is sirmo?

[SamBam39]

Look you won't get a holy war from me. The pic is more about winning the WS than is is specifically about being a big Paps fan. I think we can all agree at best he has been inconsistent this year.

[trotdaubach]

i dont like his dancing in underwear on the field crap. i dont like his fist pump childish BS on the mound. he's a good pitcher who had the number of above average pitches to be a very good starter. now he hardly pitches a meaningful inning throughout the year, which is disappointing given his talent. besides that i dont care.

[JBay44]

[Godsbury]

I would agree a lot of his nonsense I could do without as well.

I would find him much more tolerable if his agent would hire a guy to follow Paps everywhere and if he starts to talk about contracts or money the guy kicks him dead square in the nuts

[Goodfellow9]

Wait until the Yankee trolls go to the USELESS-PN board

[rockthecasbah]

I registered quite a while ago and I'm definitely on board (heheh, puns) with migrating over here.



<------ And I chose and AWESOME avatar!

[saintstephen11]

I was thinking the same thing. If the Sox lose tonight and they will come in guns blazing and no one will be there. I picture a scene from blazing saddles or some western comedy where they come running into the saloon shooting and then realize no one is there. "Where the hell'd they go?" Tumbleweed blows by.

Yea i try that myself but faild since know one else would come back and post and they ban me many times they actually block out the link on espn lol.

Umpire/critter

The only thing I'm going to miss about the ESPN forums is my post count.

Don't laugh. I know.

I know. I've been a big fan ever since. Well, not actually a big fan. But I actually pay some attention to how they are doing since I am a fake alumna.

Don't laugh. I know.

In all seriousness, a friend of mine's wife was told she had breast cancer a year or so ago when she was 23. She's recovered nicely since then, but her doctor told her she was the youngest case he had ever seen or even heard of.

There are some hot wigs out there, I must say.

[sharapovaphan]

Jesus! I get over here and every light in the house is on, the TV is blaring, the upstairs toilet is over-flowing, the frig is empty, and it's 6-5! WTF???

[J.DL]

There are a lot of solid posters here now.

[nomars_girl]

There are a lot of solid posters here now.

There was a good core to start with. Now with the edition of the ESPN regs, I think we have a very solid base. I see big things happening with this board.

I met a clerk in a record store who was diagnosed at 18. Tragic.

[nomars_girl]

My sister was 23 when she was diagnosed the first time. And the doctors had been ignoring it for years thinking it couldn't possibly be cancer.

[OBP]

My sister was 23 when she was diagnosed the first time. And the doctors had been ignoring it for years thinking it couldn't possibly be cancer.

No one really expects someone that young to be diagnosed with cancer of any kind, so I suppose it's hard to blame a doctor for ignoring it. Still, you've got think that's ripe for a lawsuit.

[ceb364]

I assume this was some time ago. They tend to be very aggressive in treating it these days.

[nomars_girl]

I assume this was some time ago. They tend to be very aggressive in treating it these days.

Yes, it was a long time ago. She would be over 50 now.

[OBP]

Yes, it was a long time ago. She would be over 50 now.

That makes more sense, then.

The fact that people are contracting cancer that early really makes you wonder what causes it, though. I keep hearing that genetic predisposition is a part of it, but you've got to think there are environmental factors as well.

[NYRhockey23]

Darn, most of the ESPN regs all in one thread. Nostalgic.

Not shocking. That guy was a huge l00ser. The constant Phiferian abuse eventually pushed him over the edge.

There used to be an old joke about the pope up on his balcony looking up to heaven and blessing all the people. He suddenly looks down aghast at all the people down there and then screams out shaking his fist... "Hey alla you wops giddoffa the lawn".

f'ing classic!

[saintstephen11]

f'ing classic!

it is a visual joke that you can really have fun with. I have seen people acting the part of the pope chanting out latin phrases like they are saying mass with their eyes shut and then they open them up and say the punch line. Hysterical if done correctly.

I don't know. How many altar boys DOES it take to change the pope's robe?

[skeeter]

While we're waiting for the answer to the pope's robe question, I was in Gdynya Poland for a meeting once. Only was one hotel in the town - but it was a very nice town I have to say. ("Lech Walesa slept here" sign in the lobby in Polish) Anyway, they showed me to my room and left. I went in, and tried to turn on the main light. Nothing. Bulb was burned out. So I figured "oh what the heck - I might as well find out the real answer", so I called the front desk and told them the ceiling light was out and asked that they send someone to fix it.

How many did it take? The answer is 4 - the reception guy to supervise, another guy who brought the bulb, one guy to hold the ladder, and another guy to screw the bulb in. They were quite pleased with themselves when they successfully accomplished it.

I am not amused.
