LOL at this

[msgkings322]

You've got to have that killer instinct msg! Kick him while he's down in the most vicious way possible and we can be banned together hahaha.

You just want some company.

This is all just fun and games, even Tito, especially Tito. We're Giants fans enjoying the best season in at least 7 years. I got no hate for no one over there. I'm going to leave Nolan's battered body right where I put it and walk away.

Of course, it's never fun being the only kid in the timeout seat.

Back on the subject of Pablo, am I crazy for thinking that if the Giants make it past the Braves that they should replace him on the roster with Manny Burriss? He was called up to the 25 man in early August so he's certainly eligible. I also think a guy who can play ss and 2b is more valuable depth wise to this team than a guy who can play 1b and 3b. Panda seems to be such a liability out there that I'd feel more comfortable with Renteria or Fontenot starting and having a switch hitting infielder with some wheels that's not a complete dumbass on the bench.

Let's just get there first.

And if we do the brass (and panda marketing guys) will say: 'well he didn't stop us from beating the Braves'....and thus he'll stay on the team.

Probably. The only thing Burriss beings to the table is speed. Poor pablo, though, I don't think things can get much worse for him.

Well, besides speed, I'd want Burriss because he has more flexibility than Panda does, and he's not a fucking idiot like Velez (man, it seems like most of Tito's favorite players are dumb as shit or subject to mental breakdowns like Sanchez, Panda, and Velez.)

You're right though, he's had a very shitty year on and off the field. If he doesn't lose weight and improve next season then he'll be known around mlb as a 1 year wonder and might never get a full time starter role again. His fate is in his own hands now, I just don't want to see him on the field in a Giants uni the rest of the playoffs. His defense is what bothers me the most. Speaking of shitty defense, did anybody see how pathetic that passed ball Molina allowed just now to let Zobrist take 2nd was?

lol, now Anthem takes his turn atop the shit talking rankings. Anthem destroying SF_Envy.

EDIT: msg now making a comeback. Going hard after Nolan and Titicrack. If only I had some popcorn.....

EDIT II: not to be outdone by his counterparts, in comes gp with some awesome archaeology.

Man, it's been a really good day to read that board.

With those two it's so easy, you just gotta go all Stephen Colbert on 'em and act like you agree with their crazy bullshit.

Nolan I think is done with me, he doesn't even respond anymore. I've destroyed him utterly.

Tito is funny, he's obviously a douche but you can see where he's coming from too. It's a free country, those guys can post however they want and still be 'fans'. They're not hurting anyone.

But it's a free country so I can tear 'em up for laughs!

 

[msgkings322]

Whomever of you just posted as 'TitosMom' on the dumdum board is hilarious. And thanks for the teed up fat pitch.

Who was it....nate?

I'm quite sure Tito and others will assume it's me. It's not. I don't do alts.

LOL. If I can get my Uncles tickets for this weekends game (highly unlikely), I'm going to make a sign that only a select few Giants fans will understand.....something like "Velez stole Tito's heart and then promptly got thrown out at 3rd".....meh....maybe something else.....I have some time to think on it.

Yeah you can do better. And you have longer than you think because this weekend the games are in Philly.

Asking long-time dumdum board posters:

what are/who are the 'mules'?

Just read a thread from one of the guys who used to post there, he used that term.

Not sure if I have the story completely correct, as I started posting (very minimally) and mostly lurking in 2003. I think the "Mules" as they are affectionately called started posting in 2000 or 2001. So in any event, take this story with a grain of salt, but I think it's relatively close to accurate. Anyway the term "mule" came about by a poster named "castacore" (who a lot of people think is cazic). Castacore was a very doom and gloom poster who was always predicting imminent failure. Two of the more popular posters around that time were ram9198 and ILDoyle. Anyway, those two used to always go at it with Castacore telling him he was a pantshitter. The rest of the Giants board agreed with ram and IL that the sky wasn't falling and that Castacore was just a chicken little. Then the rest of the board basically would just belittle Castacore and call him a pantshitter as well. Castacore basically called the rest of the board "mules" for blindly following anything ram said. He called ram "teh Mule God" and anything ram said would be backed by ILDoyle and then the rest of the mules would blindly agree no matter what.

The boards back then were very entertaining to read. I just never posted because even though it was fun to read it was very clique-ish. You kind of had to "put in your time" so to speak before you could be considered a respected poster. A lot of times if you posted in a thread or even started a thread it would just be ignored until you were "worthy". At least that's how it seemed to me. A lot of the posters on the board back then had been posting together for years so there were a ton of hilarious inside jokes and back and forth banter.
