I think he's off drinking with his buddy Dwight Clarke...

Alobar please unban beast and give him a day pass to chat with us about Chip Kelly to the 49ers.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Chip Kelly a beast.

There, I replicated his analysis.

AiML, I thought there was no chance babs was ever coming back to 2p2.

Nope

thats cuz he's not allowed back.

glad to see he's a changed man and showing respect for authority.

Lol. That's the story behind "I have it on FULL authority he won't be back!"?

Did @nimadamus ever have any dignity at all?

I figured he had slowly lost it all over the decade+ of acting like this on the Internet and flunking out of college. I'm second guessing this presumption now.

No that isn't the story.

There is information that I know, that I am not going to share with this thread.

Hit me up in the skype group and maybe I'll tell you, if you're nice.

Haha yeah right McLovin this how you weaseled your way into being an admin for the last Skype group. You promise us all this juicy babs gossip and then delete us all.

What exactly is a Skype, and where do I get one?

Thought experiment:

Beast is allowed back to post in this thread.

Anyone who crosses a weak threshold of harassment catches a week ban from 2p2.

No making fun of Beast without adding an emoticon

No bringing up the past insensitively.

No talking about a poster's family unless they bring them up - month ban if broached.

Question - How long would Beast last in this setting, and could he be re-socialized upon slow escalation of normal conditions?

Let's give it a trial run.

The Giants should have made their first postseason appearance in 1904. The World Series, a symbol of symbiosis between the more established National League and the newer American League, was played for the first time just a year before in 1903. The following year, the National League Giants ran away with the pennant, winning 106 games, but refused to appear in an inter-league World Series. The reason was personal. On July 27, long before they clinched the League, manager John McGraw told the press, "The Giants will not play a postseason series with the American League champions. The reasons for my decision are that Ban Johnson has not been on the level with me personally, and the American League management has been crooked more than once." He went on to explain a feud with American League president Johnson that stemmed from McGraw's days as manager of the Baltimore Orioles, which became the League's charter franchise in 1901. "Now I have the whip hand. My team will have nothing to do with the American League as long as I have a word to say, and no influence to bear upon me by the National League people can make me change my mind," he concluded. And so that year, there was no World Series.

On July 2, 1963, Giants pitcher Juan Marichal earned the win in The Greatest Game ever pitched. To do so, he bested Braves pitcher Warren Spahn's final line of one run on nine hits over 15 1/3 innings with his own 16 full scoreless innings. The two twirlers had traded zeroes all afternoon at Candlestick Park, refusing to yield to the opposing batters or the bullpen. At one point, 25-year-old Marichal is said to have told Giants manager Alvin Dark, "He’s 42 and I’m 25, and you can’t take me out until that man is not pitching."

Giants Manager Bruce Bochy has the largest head in Major League Baseball. He wears a size 8 1/4 hat and, during his playing days, he had to take his batting helmet with him from team to team in the event of a trade. It was easier for his new team to paint the helmet than to find one in his size.

Tim Lincecum's one of only two players ever with multiple no-hitters thrown, multiple Cy Young Awards won, multiple World Series championship titles and multiple All-Star selections. The other is Sandy Koufax.

WP gregorio.

I had a hard time dealing with Miguel Cabrera striking out to lose the World Series.

Unreal, dudes.

In 1953 Han Urbanus received a phonecall from the USA. The New York Giants wanted to offer him a minor league contract. Despite feeling honoured by the offer, Urbanus didn’t accept it. He thought that he could contribute to Dutch baseball by teaching his fellow countrymen what he had learned in the USA during Spring Training.

San Francisco Giant Atlee Hammaker made the National League All-Star team in 1983, but did not fare well, surrendering seven earned runs in 0.2 inning pitched; and he gave up the only grand slam in All-Star Game history, to Fred Lynn. Thus becoming the first Giant since Stu Miller to get blown off the mound in an All-Star game.

In an effort to make amends to the fans, in Game 7 of the 1987 NLCS, Hammaker, pitching for San Francisco, gave up a 3-run homer to José Oquendo, a utility infielder who had hit only one previous homer that season. The Cardinals went on to win that game 6-0 to advance to the World Series.

Pwned.

I'll get my way back into the new skype chat. And you'll never see me coming.

I'm like Neo in the matrix. I'm everywhere.

HOF induction @ Cooperstown, NY, July 22-25.

Probably have to book lodging way in advance

Griffey tried to commit suicide in high school. Took an entire bottle of Asprin hoping it would kill him. Instead he became the greatest ballplayer that ever lived.
