Newbies escaping from CBS post

[Redsfan1507]

I'm old but never a cop... Once again, JohnU a really old guy is correct. This all kind of feels like a high school reunion.

So we gonna start the SOTG up again? Pretty fun contest to play throughout the season.

 

[JohnU]

One of us will post the rules later on and hopefully get it started for Friday's game.
Seems a good idea to start over in case new people want to join. Honestly, I haven't seen very many posters on here who aren't from the CBS boards. Maybe later after the game starts.

 

[Redsfan1507]

I think TLakes is going to hook us up on SOTG soon. Probably ought to give a little explain to the SportsHoopla vets here. I think it's a cool thing that will grow quickly.

 

[JohnU]

The rules are pretty easy to understand. Just watch this short video.

We havent had that big of a crowd of baseball fans on here. I was in the process of getting the reds fans from E!SPN over here, but then I was banned. Spent some time away from any boards, and just recently came back. The Rangers board always have good game threads going, and so do the Giants board. Once school gets out i'll have more time to spend here and for game threads.

I tried, but the hangar keeps falling out.

looks like my mom tuning in skipper ryle.

So, Coney over on the Cards CBS boards pushing trash. It's like ... no wonder we have these trolls. What is the point?

 

[BUDSFAULT]

This is a good place. The Bengals board has a Reds thread and is also a good place to talk Reds.

What do you know Shiner?

 

[Redsfan1507]

They say "It takes all kinds"...I don't understand why it has to, but evidently some defective personality got that statement published, and lots of overly tolerant people still believe it... and force the rest of us to suffer the fools.

Personally, I think there should be some technology out there that could shoot a lightning bolt through the web into drive by trolls and other miscellaneous behaviorally challenged deviants... Just as a therapeutic course of action to help those who need a little feedback from the majority portion of society that doesn't have time or inclination to accommodate their cowardly random acts of reckless disrespect....simply because they don't risk getting punched in the mouth in person. Just an opinion, of course.

The 'Discussion' link has now been taken down from all of the CBS subportals. It seems they realized it was only being used to complain and recruit people to other boards.

 

[JohnU]

Looks like a couple of whiners are still hanging out on the Reds CBS board, including Rams 99 who evidently thinks the world is interested in his opinion of me.

 

[Redsfan1507]

Didn't Chico Ruiz go to jail for shooting somebody ? I seem to remember that he was a utility infielder- late 60's Reds...maybe involved in the Alex Johnson trade ? Alex Johnson is on my all-time laziest Reds list...along with Edwin Encarnacion, Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey, Jr. and Alex Gonzalez.

 

[JohnU]

AJ was a pretty moody guy, evidently had a chip on his shoulder. Great hitter when inspired. Chico was a pretty good player. Died in a car crash.

Cuban infielder Giraldo Sablón – known in the U.S. as Chico Ruiz – ignited two tinderboxes. On September 21, 1964, his steal of home scored the game’s only run, starting the collapse of ten straight losses that cost the Philadelphia Phillies the National League pennant. On June 13, 1971, he waved a handgun in the clubhouse at troubled teammate Alex Johnson. This notorious incident – and its subsequent mishandling – was a flashpoint in one of baseball’s worst player relations debacles. Traded by the reds w/ Alex Johnson to the angels for Jim McGlothlin, Vern Geishert, and Pedro Borbon. "I saw him (Alex Johnson) play a game completely in the shade one day. He just didn't want to play in the sun." - Umpire Ron Luciano (1980)

 

[Redsfan1507]

I remembered something about a gun. Interesting. Hey- Chico please join our star of the game SOTG contest- see the SOTG post & give us your guess on the Reds star tonite. Well keep score all year. The Reds won 97 last year and I think our best was only about 19 correct answers... Or about like most D-1 GPA's.
