Brewers.com Message Board blasts brewerfan.net (again)

[owbc]

I still post occasionally over there and I just had to spread the word about this post:

 

Okay this place is just too funny for words. I've been posting over there and there's this one guy who's obsessed with pulling out the most obscure stats to prove obscure things that no one cares about. I don't think he even knows what he's arguing about half the time. I can't remember his name, not gonna bother to look, I just know he has a picture of Selig's daughter on his profile, which I guess says all you need to know.

So I'm spending some time there, learning the ropes, keeping my real thoughts inward because I've noticed the moderating over there is Hitler-esque and they seem to ban anyone and everyone who ruffles a single feather. Anyway, I took a gander at the "about us" page and ... yeah ... wow.

Sure, there are some normal lookin' dudes there. Typical baseball fans, then you got one dude using a picture of a dog, another girl (I don't think those guys have actually met a girl) using a picture of Lisa Simpson, and some guy named Josh O'Connell. I can't quite figure out what that guy looks like, but I'm working on it. I think he thinks he's stuck in Malibu and has no idea he's from Wisconsin, at least the picture make it looks that way.

Then there were my two favorites, some poet-looking ponytail guy and best of all, a guy named Jim Goulart who I think is actually Mike Krzyzewski in Brewers gear.

They never updated the content. Before the draft "preview" the article they had up was like a year old. Basically they got a message board run by Hitler but they think they're the be all end all of everything Brewers. Ugh.

Also of interest is the website that one of their posters created: goatofthegame.com

[burrolover]

Better not rip goat of the game. Okay, rip goat of the game

[owbc]

I'm just curious how Skaalen got 3 goat of the game awards. He doesn't bat or manage.

[Fatter than Joey]

Anyway, I took a gander at the "about us" page and ... yeah ... wow.

 

Wow -- you guys seem to suck. Looks like you need to turn it up to 11 on the about us page.

Jim is one of my favorites as well -- the poet-ponytail guy not so much.

I thought BF.net was run like Arby's, right? -- Didn't we decide BF.net = Arby's?

[burrolover]

Skaalen doesn't tell his hitters not to K enough.

[And That]

Wow -- you guys seem to suck. Looks like you need to turn it up to 11 on the about us page.

I've been meaning to talk to you about your avatar.

I didn't know it was a bad thing to show respect for other people and their opinions. Darn those moderators for trying to keep things civil.

Anything you need to say to me, you can say to my avatar.

[bullox]

Smells like some nasty sour grapes.

[TheCrew07]

moles and trolls, moles and trolls..... name that movie Brewer fans!

 

I don't see how the goat site is any better or worse than firenedyost.com? Pretty much the same thing...

[Brian the Automator]

*shrug*

 

Even though we don't have this insightful person's support, I guess we'll manage somehow to cope.

[burniebrewer]

You sure, Brian?

 

Hey RLuz, can we get a stat on the chances of us managing to cope?

[Fatter than Joey]

Copetitude.

 

I'd say it's about at 86%.

[homer]

Can anyone find the Weeks/Derosa thread he mentions? That might be good for a chuckle.

[Brian the Automator]

Ahhh.... I see who that's from. He tipped his hand:

Brian most the time is decent but he can be a total u know what sometimes to as he demands anyone that posts on his Brewerfan.net to be english majors when typing.....

This was the guy who ended up getting banned because he said he was going to make an effort to troll the site (turns out, he meant lurk). He was warned about excessive AOL-speak, and went pretty nuts after that, implying that people who spell out the word "you" must be English majors. I won't even post the "parting shot" message he wrote to Ethan (although it was probably the funniest thing I've read all year).

 

But in fairness, I'm sure my wife will agree that I can be a "total u know what sometimes". So I'll spot him a couple of points there.

Looks like an obscure stat that proves something obscure that nobody cares about.

You're banned! YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS BANNED!$!#

 

[burniebrewer]

Is it really that tough to type the "yo" in front of the "u"?

 

Sorry, that sounded English major-ish.

[berniebrewer4life]

I love threads like these. They are always good for a laugh. It has been too long since someone complained about BF.net.

The ironic thing is that people who post these exaggerations only encourage people to check out our site.

 

Honestly, I just wish people would realize that each message board provides entertainment value for a certain set of people. If some people like the style of conversation over at Brewers.com, ESPN, SportsBubbler, RealGM, or whatever, that's great. Sometimes people just aren't a good match for Brewerfan (or vice versa) for one reason or another. People shouldn't take it so personally.

I don't know how I am going to explain that to my brother who also posts here. There goes my Christmas gifts for the next 10 years.

 

You deserve a strike for excessive punctuation. I kid, I kid.

Brian's bringing it down extra hard today.

I've always thought this too. It seems like it should be harder to type the shortcut, unless when you think the word "you" your mind automatically pictures that "u" and you go straight for it on the keyboard. Same goes for "2" and to/too/two. If I don't look when I type numbers there's a decent chance I'm hitting the wrong one.

[sbrylski]

Okay this place is just too funny for words.

 

Except these two hundred:

 

I've been posting over there and there's this one guy who's obsessed with pulling out the most obscure stats to prove obscure things that no one cares about.

 

If this guy would learn how to work a computer, he could hide all the posts that contain an acronym or a number and highlight every sentence that contains a swearword substitute or triple extra punctuation to make sure his eye is drawn to the most relevant information. Who is this guy talking about anyway?

 

I don't think he even knows what he's arguing about half the time. I can't remember his name, not gonna bother to look, I just know he has a picture of Selig's daughter on his profile, which I guess says all you need to know.

 

That rluzyinsky guy who used to post here? Or is he still here? I'm sure the rest of you guys have him on your ignore list like I do.

 

And what does that avatar tell you anyway? That Russ is a knowledgeable, longish time fan with a sense of humor?

 

So I'm spending some time there, learning the ropes, keeping my real thoughts inward because I've noticed the moderating over there is Hitler-esque and they seem to ban anyone and everyone who ruffles a single feather.

 

...or is a gay Jewish gypsy.

 

Anyway, I took a gander at the "about us" page and ... yeah ... wow.

 

Sure, there are some normal lookin' dudes there. Typical baseball fans, then you got one dude using a picture of a dog,

 

He's using a picture of a dog!? How can that guy possibly know anything about baseball!?

 

another girl (I don't think those guys have actually met a girl)

 

Russ, the appointed king nerd, is rumored to have met one once. She (allegedly) was the receptionist at the ovary clinic that helped him create his newborn baby. Consider me skeptical though.

 

using a picture of Lisa Simpson,

and some guy named Josh O'Connell.

 

WHAAA!??!? What the crap kind of name is that!!?!?!

 

I can't quite figure out what that guy looks like, but I'm working on it. I think he thinks he's stuck in Malibu and has no idea he's from Wisconsin, at least the picture make it looks that way.

 

Embrace your roots, Josh!!! Start a dairy farm and grow a beer gut for god sake, eh?

 

Then there were my two favorites, some poet-looking ponytail guy

 

Ethan again gets a prime spot on the hater favorite list, but we have a new guy in the top spot:

 

and best of all, a guy named Jim Goulart who I think is actually Mike Krzyzewski in Brewers gear.

 

Actually, he's Russell Branyan, and like Casey and his dog, he posted a picture of his pet. (Yes, Russell Branyan's pet is Mike Krzyzewski, whom he forces to wear Brewers gear.) It has to be. Russell Branyan is the only man who could be that awesome at covering the minor leagues and have a human for a pet.

 

They never updated the content. Before the draft "preview" the article they had up was like a year old. Basically they got a message board run by Hitler but they think they're the be all end all of everything Brewers. Ugh.

 

Yeah, take that! He's on the OFFICIAL Brewers.com message board. Which one do you think is better...
