I don't get it. Years ago when the OT was created I thought the whole point of it was for sports and entertainment (ie TV/movies) and now we're out of the OT? Wtf...

Don't ask questions!

 

[SaskBoy]

My world has been shattered. I don't know what to believe in anymore.

There are way to many stickied topics in Community.

If you aren't a sexual deviant, you aren't welcome in OT. Deal with it.

Check out the sports threads in Community!

So wait, if we should be making new topics for major events... do we make new topics in OT for each World Series game/Trade Deadline/etc? Then separate our discussions between multiple threads?

I don't get it.

we should make a thread for every game. 2,430 new threads over the course of the season shouldn't be too much of a problem.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Did everyone make it?? Is everyone OK?! MAKE FUN OF THE METS IF YOU'RE OK

We can all be in the FanCave.

A new thread every time the Mets lose.

 

[CygnusXS]

OT servers would shut down permanently.

I don't get it.

I think the World Series or All Star Game would get their own threads. Specific events.

 

[ZeroRay]

I think all Mets fans should be demoted to juniors to prevent them from creating threads.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Damn you all!

 

[CygnusXS]

I think the World Series or All Star Game would get their own threads. Specific events.

Do we want that though? We'd be splitting discussion across two boards. Better off just posting a thread for those events in OT that just links back to this thread.

That makes more sense.

a thread that just links back to another would probably just be locked

We've obviously got a lot to figure out here.

IRC Chat to the rescue! (btw anyone mind telling me what the channel is again?)

 

[Dominican Power]

Why are baseball players getting injured left and right? A lot of injuries for a non contact sport. It seems like every other pitcher is having a Tommy John.

 

[The Frankman]

The funnier thing is it was the actions of a Yankee fan that caused all this!

YAY YANKEE FANS!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

How does this IRC channel thing work?

pitching isn't exactly a natural motion. lots of stress on the arm

There's an article in the new ESPN the magazine about that issue.

How does this IRC channel thing work?

The MLB IRC channel is dead more often than not, I started it last season and it didn't really work out too well. If more people would use it, it would be nice.

 

[Sanjuro]

I guess the channel from last year survived from people who kept it on favorite. I fluctuate through different IRC clients, so didn't have it saved.

I'm going to have this in the OP for the next season...hopefully it catches on. It's nice to have a few people to shoot the shit with during the late games or wall kicking meltdowns.

Baseball is also relatively sensitive to injuries--not trying to start sportswars here, and baseball players do play hurt, but it's difficult to hit, throw, or run effectively in baseball with a fresh injury, even if it's pretty minor. Plus baseball has so many games that players can afford to rest a few to avoid a more serious injury.

And yeah, pitching is like the worst thing you can do to your arm ever. Almost as bad as trampolines for your ankle.

lol

they need that graphic for the A's as well. "Major League Guy".

 

[Enron]

This shit is fucking retarded.

 

[Flunkie]

I heard this on Twitter earlier but didn't get to see it! Ha!

"Naga.. naga.. not gettin' called up"

 

[Corran Horn]

I miss the old community forums when it was mostly just sc2and other random online games. Too crowded up in here!

 

[goldlion054]

Wow

Move to community feels bad man

what have you done! don't cross the streams!

 

[Pandaman]

welcome to pony country.

we've missed you.

 

[Malo]

We're in community now? Gross.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Yep. That's how we do it in Tokyo. You get it when you get the "Big American Dog" at 7-11. Sickest fucking corndog I ever ate. I blame the ketchup for it.

 

[JABEE]

Any new News gets a thread in OT

 

[yankeehater]

Now Madson needs Tommy John surgery. Holy damn.

Now it's clear why the Phillies backed off from him.

Hey enron you still think the Phils are stupid for not re-signing Madson? LOL.

This move to community sucks since I am worried that it will cut down on new members.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Don't worry guys, I just had my account activated. All of us juniors will have no problem finding this thread. Oh look, a my little pony thread! Can a merge these two?

 

[Dominican Power]

Thank the best-gaf for being moved to Community.

oh you shut up with that, its not like that could be forseen. The fact of the matter is though they spent a bazillion dollars on a role they could have filled for next to nothing internally.

Trust me dude. You don't want to cross those streams like that.

 

[Sanjuro]

I keep clicking my off-topic bookmark bar icon to no success.

You had an almost decent anime avatar before and how you've regressed back to a pony avatar.

 

[Jangocube]

Pfffft

And remember, Ryan Madson is messed up. Go for Sean Marshall for at least a months worth of saves!

Thank you, thank you. Hope you guys didn't miss out!
