Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Cards just blew a 4 run lead int he 9th.
YEah I kept watching the scroll on ESPN and saw they were winning, then was we were about to walk out the door to go B-day present shopping and I was setting up the DVR i saw the final score scroll across I yelled "damnit!" and the wife who is standing outside thinks i just injured myself or something.
With any luck, you'll injure yourself several more times over the weekend! :P

I need the Braves to keep choking something fierce, keep it up! Red Birds are movin' on up.
Ask and you shall receive!

I know I'm a homer, and this is a bit of a choke job, but it's not a full-fledged choke job to me.
Please explain.

If that happened with JJ and Tommy, then it would be an epic choke job. However, that's not the case.

Pujols missed 4-5 weeks and Wainwright was lost before he started, so blowing a 4 run lead in the 9th obviously wasnt a choke job. You are right about one thing Obat......you ARE a homer.

There's nothing worse than coming up a game short in the wild card race...

Things have changed...maybe I should have known they would, but at the time I didn't say anything that outlandish, regardless of how it looks now.

It's not like it was an original idea either. You could do a quick google search and find pages upon pages about the same thing. Oh well, can't win them all.

I agree that I don't think the contract stuff was outlandish, but the stuff about Fielder being better than Pujols was pretty out there.

Woah, woah woah...I said he was the better player this year, and at the time, I clearly think the facts back that up.

Look, I'm not going to rehash the whole argument every time Albert hits a HR and someone wants to be cute and take what I said out of context.

I just think you were confusing having better numbers with being a better player. Fielder had better numbers at the time. He was never a better player.

Apparently, I don't see the distinction between the two the same as you do. That was part of our misunderstanding in this thread.

To me if your stats are better in 2011, then you're the better player in said year. Regardless of the past or potential future possibilities, that's how I see it.
