Just remember the post # or the date?

That's makes sense seeing how it appears to be a strong preference.

There are usually 75 posts a day on reds threads! I don't want to sift through that!

And how on earth am I going to remember the post # of a random prediction I made months ago?

I'd post a video about Cincinnati but it'd get blacked out.

If you got the time to dig up a post to show someone, you got the time to search through a few extra pages.


And for the record. Tribe-Cards series had about 13 Tribe fans posting in it. Didnt count other teams fans or those I didnt consider regulars.

Last nights Reds-Tigers thread had 11 to 15 posters. Same amount. Couldve been a few more, but I didnt know how regular some were, and they only posted once or twice (thus 11 to 15).

Are you trying to tell me how strong the Reds fan base is? We have less posters and more posts. We WIN!

There we go.

Now I reply with "Well that's the best you got since your team got it's ass kicked by my team"

So much better than "Who the hell ever thought it was a good idea to do a Series thread?"

Now it's was a competition on posting? Very interesting. Lol. It's O.K. with me that Reds fans win. I don't know what that means but Reds' fans win.

I personally and more interested in the baseball game itself. I guess discussing this "competition" will fill the time until it starts.

No. Im saying you guys just post more during the games. More of a PxP type. We dont, so no need for a game thread, just series thread.

I've got a group of seven going tomorrow. We'll be in 119.

I think I'm missing your point. Was their an argument on post numbers between tribe and reds fans?

If so, thats weak and who gives a shit?

If reds win its only because Justin is afraid of losing an avatar bet two years in a row to me. Obviously. :rolleyes:

No, Im just saying that we have the same amount of posters, just that Indians fans dont seem to post as frequently during the game. Kind post more summary types, so the series thread works.

Couple that with a guy who when he does get on base isn't exactly speedy.

Thank You....I didn't know that.

He has advanced 46 runners to 4th base this year.....teams like that

OK OK OK.

You Tribers can have your series thread. We will have our game threads.

Because I am bored...

I'd call LF a wash, and take Hanigan over Santana. Hanigan isn't going to have the HR's and his RBI's suffer because Dusty absolutely has to have the catcher hitting 8th. He's in a little slump, but his average was up around .320 for quite a while.

Shiiit I'd take mayyybe robby Cano over B Phillips...but after that I'm taking BP over anyone.

His defense takes him up a notch.
