Proud of Myself

Working on a Community Projection Review for Matt Morris just now, I encountered this, which I wrote in late February:

You can't exactly tell from the projection, but a couple of you really think [Tom Gorzelanny's season] isn't going to turn out well, predicting that Gorzelanny won't pitch at all this year. (And both people who said that said it before Gorzelanny missed a start with shoulder tenderness.) I factored in those projections by counting the zeros in innings pitched, strikeouts and walks, but not in ERA. Nobody took the next logical step, which is guessing that Gorzelanny will pitch hurt, deny that he's hurt, and stink up the joint, so the ERA and rate stats above probably don't reflect some of the pessimism here.

I certainly make my fair share of bad predictions, but that one was pretty good.

YOU STILL STINK CHARLIE!

    THE SUN SHINES ON A DOGS !!!! YOU GET THE POINT. YOU THREW LOGIC OUT THE WINDOW ALONG TIME AGO CHARLIE. YOUR PREDICTIONS AND THOUGHTS ARE ABSURD AND UNBALANCED. I GUESS THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON THAT YOU FEEL THE NEED TO PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK WHEN YOU COME SOMEWHAT CLOSE TO MAKING A VALID POINT. WHICH IN THIS CASE YOU MAKE YOURSELF ONCE AGAIN SOUND FOOLISH. KEEP UP THE BAD WORK, I KNOW YOU ARE TRYING SO HARD TO BE THE HATER OF THE YEAR.

Dude,

You’re still allowed posting access? IN ALL CAPS?!?!?

ON A RELATED NOTE, DO YOU SHOUT AT THE CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY TAKE SIPS OFF THEIR BIG GULPS AND THEN FILL IT BACK UP?!?!?

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -- HST

I THINK HE WRITES IN ALL CAPS...

…BECAUSE HE’S STARTING TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH HIS VISION, AND IS AFRAID TO ADMIT IT BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT TO GET GLASSES AND LOOK LIKE A DORK.

DON’T WORRY, FRIEND! TODAY’S FRAMES ARE AVAILABLE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF HIP, HAPPENING LOOKS FOR THE YOUNG URBAN CONSUMER. YOU’LL BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY!
