    "I am your retribution."

    Seems like the poster here most happiest about a younger man doing things that shouldn’t be legal is zeets.

    If he stays healthy, it looks like we could be treated to having one of the all time greats. The young core of this team is scary special.

    The speed at which he has made adjustments at the MLB level is scary. His improvement will obviously plateau eventually, but I'm not sure what the ceiling is at this point. It could be something that we've never seen before.

    But.

    A bet is a bet. And he is simply not going to have the SB numbers.

    So I will honor my word.

    It has been real, Chop Country. Take care of Ronald for me. He's a star.
    You were closer to being right? Then why are you the one leaving the board Taylor?

    I’m glad to see you’re a man of your word.

    I'll propose a compromise. A full admission by SJ that it was a stupid unrealistic bet, a recognition that Enscheff was correct, and a proper amount of crow eating in exchange for Enscheff releasing him from the terms of the bet and a reliquishment of any future "rubbing it in" on Enscheff's part.

    I think that'd be a fair compromise. The minutia can be negotiated by the concerned parties. You can act as arbitrator between the two on any disputed points.

    Enscheff needs just compensation, but I think the issue can be resolved with SJ receiving the death penalty of posting.

    a sincere expression of remorse goes a long way
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    The whole key to this negotiation is the above mentioned clause that resident dickhead cannot gloat nor produce a tagline that insults Taylor....

    Oh come on, the whole incentive here for Enscheff is that it would be more fun to gloat about the victory if SJ24 is still here.

    Otherwise we should just resign ourselves to SJ24 leaving and a totally not related at all new poster named SJ25 appearing.
    Go get him!

    I’ve got a better idea:

    Instead of permanently leaving, SJ must change his handle to Taylor, and sport a Taylor Swift avatar of Enscheff’s choosing.
