We All Have Something In Common..

I think John McEnroe explains it best:

You Can Not Be Serious! - YouTube

I would make a recommendation to the mods that it must be a requirement to have watched at least one of the Godfathers before entrance is gained into The Old Red Guard.

Let's not be so hasty. One of the FIRST TWO Godfather movies. Nothing with Sofia Coppola or Andy Garcia please.

Agreed. Lets also make an amendment to act as if the 3rd Godfather movie never happened. Sofia Coppola who?

Well, it's that time of year again. The Super Bowl is over and most of the serious MLB winter trading is complete. We're counting the days until pitchers and catchers report and we're so anxious we bicker with anyone who'll stay engaged just for something to do. It's part of the yearly sports cycle...just relax and try not to give in to the urge to bite each other's heads off.

I think you're forgetting the massive arguments (and egos) of past posters here on Redszone. If you didn't explain your numbers around M2 or Steel, you were torn apart.

We all love the Reds! We love them with a passion. We wouldn't of joined this forum if we didn't. So why do we have to pick and prod at individuals? Individuals who have a point of view just like you and me! Some people type differently and shouldn't be pin point for trying to express a creative side to them. Trust me folks it doesn't make your eyes bleed. Old Red Guard used to be frequented with at least 75-90 people constantly an im sure it will get near that come mid spring. But, it used to be fun here.. Getting Reds Hot Stove reports from Chip. BCubbs rants. Krusty's Trades. OnBaseMachines brilliance. DougDirts amazing minor league coverage.. Kid is really special. Lately it's become an all out diva-esc affair with people clamming over my stat tops your view or my knowledge and winning percentage trumps your saber metrics. Who cares. Why does everything have to be a debate? Most of the constant posters here have an advantage with the moderators here. I don't know if the mods are afraid to get pick on or what but the mods in return allow some of those gifted posters an easy way out and look the other way. You know it's true.. Don't send your PM's.

Instead let's get back to baseball! For some of you die hard fans who realize Spring Training starts next week and are über excited for the upcoming year like myself. I think if the moderators want to pull a Walt Jocketty of 2010-2011 and just sit on their hands and continue to let this banter continue then they won't have a firm grasp on the site. But if the turn in to this offseasons Walt Jocketty and prove to the followers they want to bring Championship caliber forum reading and atmosphere back to threads they'll stand up and take initiative. Make this site about baseball again and end all the little petty stuff that goes on here.

Amen dude. Great post.
