lol at this post

yeah the discussion can be sharp at times to say the least, but ime, the MLB threads have the least amount of 'baseless' namecalling of any sport's threads in sporting events

if you post something in an MLB thread and get lol'd at, you can be pretty confident that you deserved it

it would be nice if more mods were willing to defer to others in their areas of expertise (i.e. tuq and international relations)

loool.

So you being an Irish man means it's in your blood to support a team in Glasgow? Love to hear the reasoning there.

FWIW, when I moved to Canada way past ten years old I picked teams to support basically at random.

For the NHL I bought the latest NHL computer game, played with Canada against France, won like 13-0 and Simon Gagne had like 5 goals so I started a season with the Flyers, and became a fan.

I liked the colors the Jets wore.

I'm a Raptors fan because they were Canada's NBA team I guess without the douchebag fans a la Maple Leafs.

I'm a St Mary's Gaels NCAAB fan because I won lots of money bettin on them the last 2-3 years.

In the blood!

You have no idea. On the plus side, they serve as fantastic reminders to use proper protection.

That being said...

1. tuq
2. ClarkNasty
3. sethypooh21
4. MEbenhoe
5. Needle77
6. Ryan Beal

72off gets an I because he's only been on the job for a couple of days.

List had got pretty long. Was just waiting for a Chelsea loss combined with being drunk after a bad nights sleep to unleash it.

Best example is him just making a post with no content just to flat out call TSC an Arsehole.
