Not sure why, jingo, but I did rep you and your Rep Power didn't increase.

He has to get to 50 posts before it registers. I repped him too.

I know I have repped him multiple times. When he gets 3 more posts, he will be the rep-leader on this board.

Good for him or sad for us? You decide...

lol, yeah, he probably will.

I wouldn't mind if they just got rid of the whole rep system in general or at least change it up a little. I like being able to give a rep just to say nice post (but no point system). OR, if they do add up the totals, I think that each rep received should be worth 1 point. Just my humble $.02.

I agree. It seems there are a lot of fights on the gen boards about reps, and eliminating / changing it may cut that down a bit (of course, with the board society, they will just find something else to fight about...).

I am, by default, a VERY competitive person, so I have to make a conscious decision to not care about the reps. I think I have done pretty well so far

Edit: BTW, rep

You are competitive and insightful. And I owe you for inviting me over to this haven of sanity.

But dammit, Cal! Why do you keep splitting your infinitives?!?!?

BTW, I am ahead of you by ten reps, Cal. Non-competitively, of course.

The rep system does need to change. I mean, filo gets another 500 rep every time he wakes up.

And don't get me started on the hockey clown from Philly who masqueraded as a Phillie Phan who had 500 posts and six bazillion reps.

I stay mostly (@99%) to this message board because of the game/team knowledge and opinions of all of the contributors (and a lot better than having to wade through all the dribble that was routinely posted on the ESPN board).

In my opinion, baseball is the greatest of sports; the smell of the grass when you are standing in the outfield; the smell of your glove when you hold it up against your face; the feel of the ball and bat in your hands; the sounds of the game;, nothing can beat it. Being born in San Francisco, I was hooked from the first day I saw Mays play (as a reference, I am old enough to have attended 49er games at Kezar and Warrior games at the Cow Palace and SF Civic Center). And then 2010, World Series champions (I am perfectly comfortable living in the past while waiting for the next one).

Having said all that (probably just to hear myself talk), why would anyone argue about reps?

(sidenote: I was going to split this post into 3 in order to reach the 50 mark while trying to convince you that I wasn't competitive).

Only two more posts to go! You can do it!

We argue reps because we can't buy and run a MLB baseball team. But it sure is fun to talk about. That is, except when certain doom and gloom denizens show up with all their alts.

LOL. That is hilarious. Make that 11. REP!

Edit: I just noticed that I have 666 posts. I think I'll just stop here and be evil forever.

Can't have Stokes ahead of you. Rep.

Great News!

Ryan Spilborghs is no longer with the Rockies! I know, I know, the guy sucked last year, but every time he came up to bat in a Rockie uni, a nervous twitch would kick in.

Cam, I would rep ya, but apparently, I only rep people for good posts!!!!

He's in the tier right below Steve Finley for Giant hate. Right above Armando Benitez

It's not the posts that make you evil, it is the reps. You have a ways to go towards total evildom, Cam. Rep!

All seven of the Hairston brothers seem to fall into this category for me...

You get rep for that one. Honesty deserves rep.

I gotta keep on working then. More snide, sarcastic comments, coming right up.
