The Polaroid Random Thoughts Baseball Thread

So if you're not a considerable favorite to win a division you're a shitty team?

If the Marlins are shitty, what are the Astros?

Obviously, not as amazing as the Marlins.

19 teams in MLB are bigger dogs to win the World Series

I think we've wrapped up the "shitty team" portion of this debate

Yep. We certainly have. Someone got offended by someone criticizing "their" team.

IMO here is a list of shitty 2012 teams

Astros
Mariners
Padres
Orioles
Mets
Pirates
Twins
Royals


I realize it's not comprehensive but I think most would agree that all teams not on the above list can not be classified as shitty

Stop acting 12 years old. You called them a shitty team. If you called the Braves a shitty team I'd call you out on it as well.

Act like an adult and just say you were wrong with your classification of Miami.

FYI, Hanleys OPS was north of .850 in 2010.

He had one really bad year.

Royals finish 2nd in the Central. Horrendous division, but they aren't shitty at all, and are close to being really good.

Right because we're debating about me calling them amazing.......:


The Marlins are not a shitty team. Do I think they make the playoffs? Its more unlikely than likely. Johnson hasn't had a full year on the
mound in forever. But shitty is about the worst adjective I can think of.

I agree. Now that I look closer they do not belong on the Shitty List.

They weren't a shitty team last year? Have they made improvements? Meh. Not many if you ask me.

A guy who takes offense to someone calling "their" notoriously bottom-dwelling team shitty is calling someone else a 12-year old. Rich.

Right because me disagreeing with your assessment of the Marlins means I'm taking offense.

Disagreeing: NEVER allowed on the Internet

LOL.

Keep telling yourself that. One person might believe it then.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I wouldn't call a team that wins the World Series, sells off their entire team, and hasn't been to the playoffs for nine years since then shitty.

That would be absurd.

That's only reserved for teams like the Astros that made it to the World Series seven years ago.

Marlins regular season record

2008: 84-77
2009: 87-75
2010: 80-82
2011: 72-90 (Opening Day payroll $57 million)
2012: ? (Opening Day payroll is projected $100 million)


Based on the data, this is clearly a "shitty" team. 19 teams are a bigger dog to win it all.

Monkefocker wins AGAIN

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

What do you classify them if they aren't shitty?

Mediocre? LOL.

What's the fucking difference? Unless you take it personally of course.

FYI, "shitty" is subjective.

The Houston Astros: A team on the rise (and without a doubt NOT shitty)

2009: 74-88
2010: 76-86
2011: 56-106


When your emotions get the best of you and you REALLY hate an Internet poster and you want to CRUSH him, tell him his baseball team is
shitty and illustrate how NOT shitty the Astros are.

Who said the Astros WEREN'T shitty too?

Straw man, much?

Look at the lengths you're going to defend a shitty team. Hilarious.

Although what's perhaps even more rich is your data mining...

Love it.
