oh, i get it, it doesn’t matter if the players or team is actually good, as long as they have the appearance of being good

puts us T-5 in the league.

I’m sure that about evens us out in the HR+3B Stat!

Closer Fences? What, did Brian Wilson build them or something?

I’d only take this deal if they throw in Cash Considerations. That guy’s got great speed and defense.

Carlos Silva is unavailable?

This guy starts up these threads and walks away. He must be someone’s alternate profile, right? Like another Ulnar Maws or groud or xanthan.

OK, now I am 100% sure you are a trollin’ regular.

Chew on my laundry, please.

(Like I’d recognize it , heh heh)

And when they want to talk snarky elitist they do that well too.

We’re all for good baseball discussion here on McCovey Chronicles, but the suggestions on the majority of your Fanposts have been either ridiculous or unrealistic. Stuff like moving in the fences and trading for Jimmy Rollins and Jorge Cantu aren’t very good ways to improve this team. This Fanpost isn’t bad, but saying that your Fanposts are the only good Fanposts is pretty arrogant of you. If you’ve been reading this site for the past season, you’d find that many people do make intelligent posts that foster good discussions. It might not seem like it at the moment, but that’s because we’re in that weird period between the end of the regular season and the beginning of the offseason where nothing really happens with the Giants. Give it some time, and we’ll revert back to the usual baseball nerdery we normally see around here. All I ask is for you to give a little more thought into your Fanposts and to not just post whatever your mind is pondering at the moment.

1) You generally do not engage in the discussion after posting your fanpost.

2) You have posted a lot of them and none of them have really been good ideas. And one or two have been downright bad ideas. This one, for instance, doesn’t really say much of anything at all. Basically you said, I hope they pay monies for teh starz cyuz I want teh starzzz.

3) We’re dicks

4) As Natto said, this isn’t the best time for many of us to be talking about baseball. It will pick up again. And die down again. And so on. In the meantime, we will mock and use sarcasm and joke and be silly an awful lot.

I think one thing you should realize is that this place is a great place to talk about baseball (and food and books and movies and…). But you seem to view it as a blogspot or something, where it’s all about posting fanposts (and, apparently, then just leaving them). This place is less about posting and more about the community. It’s not the fanposts (or Grant posts, even) that hold the most value. It’s the discussion after the fanposts.

I realize it looks like we are elitist jerks, sometimes. And that is probably true, to a degree. But we are also quite open to new posters, too. I was a new poster at one time. As was everyone here.

I am impressed that you stuck around, even if it finally came with hurt feelings and a pouty post. I would just recommend making less fan posts and making more discussion posts. Talk to us or with us, not at us.

Just to further my point. A little bit further down the fanposts section there is a post that is approaching 300 posts. It was started by a member who has a shaky reputation but who still understands what this community is about. There is a lot of fantastic conversation going on in there; all of which is related directly to Giants baseball. You are no where to be found.
