Sorry, I'm not allowed to chime in with my opinion, b/c you already shared the same opinion?

If that wasn't snarky, I apologize, but it sure did seem like it
No, I am being for real. I agree with you.

The play is irrelevant though. That's not why they lost the game.


I'll never ever understand how any baseball fan thinks the outcome of that Series rested on one player....in this sport, it's ASTOUNDING....were they watching the same games?

I don't have the patience to argue with them, you're right.
Period.

Not sure I follow, said what?

Sorry that didn;t make much since... I was just agreeing with you even though I was the one that posted the Stanton trade thing. Does that make anymore sense?

You are so self contradicting. You say you don't blame him for the loss, but then call him the biggest choker in the game. That's blaming him for the loss, but refusing to admit it for some unknown reason.

"never pinned the entire loss on Cruz....said group effort but that catch seals the championship and was far and away the biggest choke of the night"

I hope you can get over the opinion.

Those mean the same thing....It's like prefacing a really offensive statement by saying "no offense." It doesn't negate the fact that you said it. By saying "was far and away the biggest choke of the night" is pinning the loss on the guy.

I think that is pretty plain Rev. Possibly he doesn't have the guts to say " You got me, I'm wrong"

lol.. guess it's all on how one interrupts things. You came gunning from the start trying to tell me I'm wrong and now you're telling me what I think.

BTW.....getting his ass to the wall is baseball 101 and sure isn't a coaching issue

then you're blind and in no way shape or form qualified as a judge on all that is a worthy baseball opinion. Opinion being the keyword Mr. Pep Squad.


You boys carry on with the circle jerk

No one is telling you what you think. I am going based on what you actually said. What you said doesn't line up with what you're trying to get across. They are at odds with one another. I don't know what else to say to you.

If I recall, originally you said you couldn't be a fan of his because he didn't catch that ball which you were convinced a high school player could. Choosing to not like him because of that play would suggest that you would hold a grudge on a player based on one play. Then following that up with calling it the biggest choke of the game would further suggest that you felt like a great degree of the loss came off that one play indicated mostly by the work choke. Anyway, you are entitled to your opinion and a lot of people agree with you... I just disagree. I will even go farther than most and say it would have been a good play if he made it.

The reason this sort of hits a nerve with me is it reminds of of how Pats fans were acting after Welker signed with the Broncos and even before he signed. They blamed the entire SB loss on Welker not catching a tough pass from Brady. Ranger fans are way better than Pats fans!!!!

you could avoid the posts, but whats the fun in that when you're walking so tall?

1. he catches the ball it's ballgame
2. The moment was to big for a couple of player. Cruz the most IMO
3. The ball was very catchable IF he played it off the bat correctly
4. Meltdowns in extra innings but Cruz coulda ended it with a catchable ball


you boys should get out some. It's a shared opinion outside this circle jerk you boys have going

Would you agree that 1-4 indicate that you are pinning the loss on that one play? If not, what would you call it.

Sir....I don't care for Cruz cause he's got a two cent head. Year after year he swings for the hills, slumps and has to go back to driving the ball to right center. Then it gets corrected and he falls back to yanking the ball. He kills mistake pitches, but is an out when pitchers hit their spots. 0-2 kills this guy and he allows it swinging at low and away, time AFTER TIME.

I CHEER FOR THE TEAM. Call um as I see um.
You boys should get the board police after the Murphy bashers and check their fan cards. Maybe it's just what this board click allows

Just want to remind everybody he is a great big reason why they were in that World Series to begin with. He was the MVP of the ALCS against Detroit.
