Ramblin' Rob Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Extreme views are unhealthy, and there are very few reasonable fans on this site...me included this past summer...i was blinded by sunny optimism and many here are bitter and negative. This board is a reflection of the direction we are headed as a country....crazy right eventually gets balanced by crazy left and those of us that are moderates or reasonable are forced to choose what we consider to be a lesser evil. I just read a post that cited Atlanta as a reason not to be patient with a rebuild, and high lighted their tumultuous 07 season, and how the hiring of a GM and coach made it all better. All i can say, is if we hired mike smith instead of dj 6 years ago, peeps on this board would have screamed bloody murder, and ralph is cheap and all the rest. I am off to get a life....hope you all do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am off to get a life....hope you all do too. 1. Atlanta lost AGAIN in a bad fashion. 2. Mike Smith is a couple of wins better than Chan Gailey, and with nothing to show for it. 3. You'll be back- I have been a Pirates fan all my life and you don't know the meaning of the word negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have been a Pirates fan all my life Wow, in all seriousness, I feel AWFUL for you Pirates fans. I grew up idolizing guys like Dave Parker and Willie Stargell. You had that last great run with Van Slyke, Bonds, and Bonilla, and then became a glorified farm team for the MLB. The imbalance in baseball is a shame, IMO. I've been a diehard Braves fan for 31 years, and even though we're not the Yankees or Red Sox, I feel blessed that we can field a competitive team. When I think about Pirates fans, I honestly get sick in my stomach because of how unfair it is for you. Baseball needs better competitive balance.

Baseball needs better competitive balance. you think that's bad, I've been a Pirates AND Orioles fan my whole life. It's why I stopped following baseball. There's no semblance of parity so what's the point? There's no reason to follow at least half of the MLB because at least half of the MLB has zero chance of being competitive two years in a row. It's really a shame--used to love baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really a shame--used to love baseball. Couldn't agree more...the MLB has become a corrupt, imbalanced shell of the game I loved as a kid. Thank God the NFL has provisions that allow small market teams to compete...or in the case of the Packers last year, even win the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Cant say I blame ya but I don't understand why everyone has to break up with the board before they leave I think most people want to atleast say bye to those they've talked to. Also probably a hope to leave some advice and make it a better place. I think a lot of people are growing weary and miss actual football talk.

Pete Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 don't let the door hit you Mr closed minded. You shouldn't be scared of hearing opposing views that challenge your own. It is a byproduct of free speech. But I suppose you know it all and think the world is black and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 When asked who'd win the Pitt-Den game, RichmondBob said it was 50 percent for both. Anything more would be extreme. Thank God for sober minds like RichmondBob. FYI, TBD is one of the better fan sites out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 No, don't go! Please! We can't live without you! We'll be nice from now on, we promise! Drop the sarcasm. This is Richmond Rob we're talking about. You should show more respect for a guy who nobody knew existed until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
