there are also plenty of astros threads on here, long running cubs and cardinals threads too. Don't see you casually dropping by to talk baseball on those particular threads.

You have nothing, you're done, and I refuse to even give you the satisfaction of getting the last word in.

---

Plenty? There's a cards thread and a cubs thread.

95% of the threads are Rangers related and you can't refute that right, dropkickedbillywolfpack?

And yes, you need to actually have a legitimate tie to the team you root for; not just jump on the bandwagon when they start playing at a high level.

Otherwise you're a bandwagon slobber who probably does other pathetic things like, just for example, possess multiple usernames on Texags to portray multiple personalities.

Not that we know anyone like that, right dropkickedbillywolfpack?

token I know we've had our issues in the past(and will probly continue to), but could you simply answer the following 2 questions as honestly as possible for me?

1. In your opinion based on what you've seen fredo post in the last 3-4 years, could a reasonable assumption be made by a casual observer that he takes more than a casual interest in the texas rangers organization?

2. Do you believe that simply being born in a random area is the only legitimate tie to being a fan of a team in that region?

I submit these 2 questions to AK, chowdah, txag11, sapper, fincagsdad, BW xaggie, and whoever else has been regulary posting on this thread during the time that fredo has been here

You should also ask Billy Walsh and Wolfpack, right?

quote:

---

so your definition of a legit tie to an organization is simply being born in that team's region, correct? Is there no other legit way to have a tie in your tiny misguided fredo-f**goty brain?

---

try answering the question i asked you d***head. Is the only legit tie by your definition simply randomly being **** out in a hospital in the region that a team plays in?

Mad bandwagon fans.

why are you so fixated on whether or not someone hypothetically posts under multiple screen names fredo? It's not relevant in any way to the discussion yet all you can do is circle back to it

you're like a hamster running on a wheel with that tired dropkickedbillywolfpack schtick

it's so hilarious that you are incapable of answering one simple question fredo

and make no mistake, when i cuss and call you names, it's not me being angry. It's me refering to you as things you actually are because you are so stupid that you can't answer simple questions

1. I don't read the Ranger threads because I don't follow the Rangers nor do I live in Dallas. So I can't say.

However, following doesn't necessarily mean fandom. When I lived in Chicago, I watched the Cubs. Didn't make me a fan of them. I like baseball so I enjoyed watching them. So I don't see an issue. It is really more strange that you DON'T follow them seeing as they are YOUR hometown team.

2. Only? No.

A mother will be the fan of her son's team. You have kids that are on a team?

If someone's parents are military and they move every 3 or 4 years, they may not have any real attachment to any one location and many of their assignments aren't in areas with any team anyway (having been a military brat and then in the military I've seen this first hand). I can see that the parental/family ties could offer a grounding for them. Was your dad in the military?

But the bottom line is that you should be a fan of your own home town if your home town has a team. If you don't really have a home town (military kids, business movers etc) they'll adopt a team. But Corleone is from Maryland. He lives in Dallas. So, he follows the Rangers (as you contend) but is a FAN of his hometown team the O-holes.

I am in the process of moving to BLT (I'm actually here now). While I will NEVER be a fan of the O-holes, I'll be forced to follow them just the same as I live here. I'll go to every Sox game I can and I am going to make every effort to get NESN here (I think I have that part figured out). But I'll go to other games as well. If the o's losing doesn't benefit the Sox, I can see myself clapping if Davis crushes one. Obviously I WON'T be cheering anything in favor of an O's win this season because the race is tight.

Now I know you'll pick my honesty apart and call me a bad Sox fan (like you have the RIGHT to judge) and the your alter ego will defend everything you say, but maturity has given me the comfort in my own skin and therefore the freedom to be truthful.

In the end a fan doesn't concern themselves with whether they are "legit" or "real fans" or not. You've been defending your fandom since your Keith Hernandez days (even if nobody asked you made sure you told everyone that your "dad is from mass so I am a real fan"). That says a lot! I thought it was weird then. I still do.

You just posted on the Puig thread, Chowdah. You're rooting for the Dodgers!

#dropkickedbillywolfpacktshirtlogic

Dirty Jim!

Jonny Gomes pinch hit walk off.

3.5 games up

Gomes is the new Bernie Carbo!

Sox are beating up the Padres.

At least Dunn is my fantasy team DH?

Rays take three of four from the hapless heroes of Houston.

I had thought of a lot of interesting, thoughtful responses to the posts about t-shirt fans during my month long ban. However, since I couldn't post them I lost interest and forgot them. Just know they were pretty good.

Go O's!

Speaking of losing interest and forgetting about something... Who are you?

let's just say me and FincAgsDad are pretty close bro's...may he rest in e-peace.

God I hate the Yankees so much

Meh...it's a bummer, but O's have played them well this season. Only getting two runs is more of the issue IMO.

we need to trade for bud norris and Carter from the astros and pull another davis/hunter trade with the other Texas team. we could let carter dh and let norris work the pen?

Garza is the only guy on the market that goes anything for me.

Would love Carter, tho.

They can have Freddy garcia, Valencia and pearce

I'm sure Luhnow would kill for that package.

20 games over .500, Papi wins it for us pinch hitting, and the mfy do us a favor by dropping the O's. Life is good.

Bobby Valentine

Is unemployed

Sox give the game to the Angels!

Had multiple chances to put it away in the bottom of the 9th but just let it go.

Manny...that play. Unreal.

I'm really trying not to jinx the kid, but he's a special kind of special.

And i'm talking about the good "special", not the dropkickedbillywolfpacktshirt kind of "special".

JONESIE!!!

I dunno how it is spelled lol

When I was at the Astros game vs the O's I was telling the older gentlemen next to me Manny will one day be a first ballot hall of famer...they didn't take me too seriously. I can't wait to bump this in 20 years.

That was Adam's first HR since he took Verlander deep. He likes the big resume' guys!(please don't jinx this)

Hit Jims music!
