Please. What are you, seven? If you get bent out of shape following an obviously ridiculous “yo momma” joke two weeks ago you need to get a grip. And you were whining and complaining about everything and anyone before I even did that. If you hate it here, buzz off. If you don’t, grow up and try to add something to the conversation.
And note: the “Alan’s mom” stuff above was not written by me. It was written by other readers who think you’re acting like a child.

Craig your the one who started with mothers! You don’t like it do you? You like attacking somebody’s mother, but if it’s yours, its a different story? It seems to me that you don’t care who you attack or how. When someone questions your ability to write a fair and balanced article or an article that attacks someone family life its okay for you to do it. I thought about how you would feel if someone attacked you, and your parents the way you attacked my mother. Now we know all about you and who you are. I can see now that your not a man of principal or integrity.
If you feel that banning my IP address is in your best interest you will. Who knows maybe you’ll make an apology for starting this.

Alan, you can keep posting that stuff and I can keep deleting it all day. Or you can grow up and actually contribute something to the discussion of baseball beyond simply talking about how much you hate me.
If you keep it up, I’m going to ban your IP address.

Give Valentine some credit. He’s doing the best possible thing he could for the Indians… encouraging them to hire Manny Acta.

Alan,
You left your medicine at home, sweetiekums. Before you get on your short-bus in the morning, you should remember to take them so you don’t go whining on-line all day like a modern-day Holden Caulfield.
Also, so you don’t get a bad grade on your post, here are some grammatical changes for you:
“He already proven that he knows nothing about baseball and write fiction in his column.”
Should read:
“He’s already proven that he knows nothing about baseball and writes fiction in his column.”
“Isn’t it Craig?”
Should read:
“Isn’t it, Craig?”
“He’s always badmouthing people, and his articles are just stupid.”
Should read:
“He’s always badmouthing people and his articles are just stupid.”
Although, I compliment you on that last sentence. It was almost a respectable compound sentence. Your father and I are so proud!
Love,
Mom

Why do you people even pay attention to Craig Calcaterra? He already proven that he knows nothing about baseball and write fiction in his column. I wouldn’t believe anything he says. He’s just an ignorant writer who has no class at all. His reputation is crap. Isn’t it Craig? He’s always badmouthing people, and his articles are just stupid.

Stay away from Valentine!!!! He would be a cancer to this team. Japan is a good place for him. He should stay there. Valentine thinks he is bigger than the team he manages. EARTH TO INDIANS!!!
Stay away from him

You should have been in Japan a couple of years back when he had the Chiba Lotte Swallows in active contention for the first time since Yojimbo chewed his final toothpick. This was no small accomplishment considering that they were playing in the ugliest, draftiest, sepulchral stadium in Japan – imagine the Tropicana Dome but without any charm. That, and Bobby in his Chiba Lotte uniform was the next most popular bobblehead to Hideki Matsui in his Borg uniform at the votive offering sales booths at the Shoji Temple in Akasuka. More: everywhere you went in Tokyo, Bobby was smiling down at you from some advertising billboard, kinda like Bill Murray’s Midori ads in “Lost in Translation.”
The guy is magic, but he needs all the crippled dwarves behind the curtains and the invisible wires and mirrors to make it all work.

Another season like the last one and the city fathers of Toronto may just as likely trade the entire team to Chiba City for the Swallows. Then the entire discussion is academic.
