    I was into it with a Iowa fan and he challenged me, thinking I was some dweeb, but found out a 6'1 235 chiseled black man and he bought me dinner and drinks and put me up for a hotel for the night. All he asked was, don't tell anyone that I was scared. I honored his request and nothing came of it. People asked and we did not comment, just laugh to ourselves and friends today.

    He was a fan defending his team and I living in Iowa hated their obnoxious fan so I gave it to them every time I could until I was banned.

    So he can blabber all he wants about training and how big he is, but I bet the field that five here can take him easily. I know two off my head could.
    Maybe they could, but those guys aren't on here talking **** about guys that train. Who's talking ****? The guy that wouldn't even step foot in a fight gym.

    Oh I'd fight you out in the real world. I just won't go into an MMA gym because it's a **** boring sport full of guys hugging each other. I'm sure you're yuge though man... You can relax your ego. We all believe you are massive and incredibly skilled, I promise. Don't ask me questions if you don't want real answers.

    Make that 3.

    Enscheff, don't bring that personal I will kick your ass on a forum. Believe me, there are a lot more tougher guys than you are in real life that would literally challenge you and probably kick your ass.

    I think Sav could take you as well, but he is not going to say it, but that sonofabitch is tough as they come. So make that 4.

    Just don't bring that on here, please.

    This part is the baseball board, if you want to talk about your MMA stuff there is another part of the forum that you can visit and brag all you want.

    Not once did I say anything even close to "I'll kick your ass". Anyone that has spent more than a week at a fight gym has learned to not talk ****. So go ahead and join in on arguing against everything I post, but at least get the facts right when you do.

    I said the guys who make fun of fighters are the guys too scared to step foot in a fight gym. And you know that's true.

    The only talk like that has come from you.

    I'm past my fighting days. I ache every morning as it is from street fights, bar fights, fights over honor and just plain stupid fights.

    But I am a lifetime member of the Brotherhood of the Blue Cord.

    For those that don't know what that is, well.....

    Those that do, know I am one of the most dangerous MF you are likely to ever meet.

    But, what that has to do with baseball, I can't say.

    I would suggest that we all just re-set and leave it alone.

    After all, we are all Braves fans or we wouldn't be here. We can disagree without it devolving.

    I do too. I am a Braves fan first and foremost. I could have waited to see Dansby until next year and believe that would have been the better long term play for the franchise and by extension the fans.

    But, since he's here, go Dansby! (just not for enough to lose rookie status!)

    Uh-oh - internet message board tough guy fight on the horizon??? Someone get their feelings hurt?

    Mark me down for a ticket to the girl fight in the schoolyard instead.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    You're the one who asked me the questions. I'm sorry you didn't like my honest answers and they somehow threatened your manhood. Rough days bro.

    BTW - for those about to jump off the ledge, the naysayers have consistently pointed out that they're "hiding Dansby from the good Pitchers". Why would anyone expect him to be in the lineup against Verlander tomorrow anyway???

    I did notice they're batting him 8th tonight. Wouldn't be shocked if Castro replaces him mid-game based on that.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. You quoted a post of mine that wasn't even directed at you. Nothing about you is threatening in any way, shape or form.

    I think today is Dansby's 46th day of service as he was brought up August 17th. That would mean regardless of whether he gets 5 or more at bats today, he would lose his rookie eligibility today.

    Days on the roster only counts in pre-Sept when the roster is only 25 players. Mike Trout is an example of this in 2010.

    No problem. Hard to keep track of sometimes as MLB has tons of quirks with their rules. See the dumb ending to the cards/reds game this week for an example of that. That being said I feel good Swanson won't get 5 ABs today.
