A joke gone too far.
So last night I am over at a girls house who I just started dating. This was only my second time being at her house and around her folks. Well shortly after I arrived, while I was talking with her and her mother fellow redszoner moundpatrol starts the following conversation via text message:
moundpatrol: Clayton just signed for 1.5 mil kbrake: With who? moundpatrol: friggin Reds At this point Kbrake gets up and goes outside. I was not rude about it but I'm sure it was obvious I was not very happy. So I storm out front and call moundpatrol moundpatrol: Hey man kbrake: Are you (very bad word that would get me banned from Redszone) kidding me? moundpatrol: (with so much laughter I could barely understand him) just kidding it was with the Blue Jays kbrake: Your an (another very bad word that would get me in trouble), thats not even funny. I will talk to you later. (hang up) Now is it just me or should there be some things that are not to be joked about when it comes to the Reds? For me the thought of another season with Royce Clayton around is one of them. |

Re: A joke gone too far.
I thought you were gonna say your girlfriend pulled that joke, at which point I would asked if she had a sister.

Re: A joke gone too far.
The real question would be, Is the girl a good enough baseball fan to understand this scenario? He might have done you a favor weeding out somebody who doesn't share your passion, or maybe confirm that's she's a real find!

Re: A joke gone too far.
I know my gf would have been even more upset at the situation than I would, and I don't like Clayton at all....I am very lucky though!

Re: A joke gone too far.
To clear up the situation as far as the girl goes. She told me she was a Reds fan and I thought maybe she was just a girl saying that as some do. Well then I asked her who her favorite player was her response "without doubt Adam Dunn" I was like ok you passed my test.

Re: A joke gone too far.
I hesitate to do this, because I'm not sure how much of it will translate, but, if you want a laugh, you might want to check out "the urge to post anything" thread on SOSH, That thing is killing me.
