I polled 12 people from this forum.......

Braves fans think they are the favorite to win the world series in 2016.

no, they don't.

but you could get a job at the NYT with journalistic instincts like that

Yes, they do. I interviewed 12 people. Why do you mean they dont?

The video where Papelbon chokes Harper because he wanted revenge and was a passive aggressive baby, only showed Harper holding bat and being frustrated after missing pitch he thought he could hit and then turning to run to first before said video cut to left fielder making catch. Then the video shows Harper returning to dugout from 1st base. Now again. did anyone see Harper run to first or are you judging him on hear se?!?

first of all, thank you for noticing.

Second, sincerely, we shouldn't be accepting of that fact that we're all ****-ups. It should bother us enough to hold ourselves and each other to higher standards.

That can't be THAT outrageous a statement, can it?

Nah. But Johnathan Papelbon may not be the best ambassador for the "Be Better" movement.

Of course. what have i been doing today?

And I DESERVE TO BE CHOKED (literally or metaphorically).

Just because something is universally accepted, doesn't mean it's right, best or ideal.

I guess you'll also want to teach your kid this move:

Hey, Ted Williams flipped off the fans. Babe Ruth physically attacked them. Every generation of players "disrespects" the game in a way that offends previous generations. Ken Griffey Jr. used to cause all kinds of apoplexy by wearing his cap backwards during BP. He retired as a paragon of the baseball virtues, a symbol of the good guys. His father probably offended so-called purists by wearing his uniform pants too tight or, you know, by being black.

Times change.

Ken Griffey Sr. can go fist himself.

Before the 1978 game where Pete Rose's 44 game hitting streak ended, I along with several other kids asked for autographs from the Reds players in BP. One player, Cesar Geronimo, signed autographs. Pete Rose had a handler who told us all he wouldn't be signing anything. 22 other Redlegs either walked by quietly or said something like "sorry, maybe after the game" in a polite manner. Griffey pimp walked to the batter's box and said, "Joe DiMaggio didn't sign no autographs."

That's not a black/white thing. It's an asshole/ not an asshole thing.

Oh, and Bryce is a prick. Hopefully the Gnats will tire of his antics and trade him for some guys who don't strike out a lot and who play the game the right way. I know of a team that is fully stocked in that area...
