Surprised they are not trolling us here. I looked around at the other team MLB sites here and this is by far the most active. I did see a Tribe fan here last week, and a Mariners fan too. Other than that no trolling here from other team's fans. You would really think the Angels and A's fans here at SportsHoopla would try to come here now and then.

We used to see an Oakland guy come around. A white sox fan visited us for both series. I don't mind it, it's a fresh perspective and we know they will be gone in a few days.

I understand..... I'm so grateful to be a fan of 2 teams who excel at finding talent regardless of draft position and arguably find their best talent at the international level. I can't imagine being a fan of a team with an incompetent front office, it must be frustrating.

I see you are a Cowboy fan.

I can't find the stats anymore, but it was top 10 and I bet it still is. If not top 5.

3rd among sports teams @ 214,000+, after the 49ers 300,000+ and the Cornhuskers @ 269,000+

Only other ML team to pop 100k is the Giants @ 158,000+

The Indians guy was a huge troll and douchebag

Trolling team boards is not allowed here.

He really isn't. He comes across that way at first sometimes, but it's just his schtick. He doesn't really mean any of it.

His schtick is to be a douche? Then that's even worse

Agreeing to sport a Rangers avatar for a week doesn't make him less so either

Oh they use to on the ESPN board. Was horrible but not here.

I'm sure if either of their teams ever gets better than ours, they might. :happy:

We both sport the Dallas Cowboys below our avatar. Just saying....

The last few years they have drafted well. Thankfully, Jerry is finally listening to the " football" people who have proven that they know what they're doing. It only took him about 15 years to give up on his dream of calling all the shots and winning a title with his fingers on the blue print.

This is your best post ever. You have nailed the Astros organization perfectly. It's an organization that believes heavily in sabermetrics, but they use it poorly and only focus on data points that support their argument and ignore any that do not. Texas is not due for regression...they turned into a more consistent team and their pythag will eventually catch up.

Who hacked into NC's account and started posting shit that makes sense? WTF!

Just giving you a hard time there @Nightcrawler :D

Profar with a deserved day off.
He certainly deserves a day off but I would keep him on the field till we sweep the ASStros.
