I know. I wasn’t criticizing you….just thought the irony was funny….yeah, the guy was being a giant ass, I agree with that 100%.

Well, sure…there’s irony there, but I was REACTING to someone else’s idiocy.

I know I’ve had my moments on HBT, but typically I don’t run my mouth unless it’s in reaction to some else acting like a fool.

Maybe that’s a distinction without a difference, but I think there is.

The irony of you ranting about somebody getting upset about something unimportant and in your rant coming off as being upset about something completely unimportant didn’t strike you?

When have I ever posted 3-4 times in a row, ranting about something absolutely trivial?

The only time I hammer people on HBT is when they say something unambiguously stupid.

Why do these idiots always have to bring up Trout every time there’s a story about Harper? Really, baseballer28, you need to get a life.

Oh, shut the fuck up.

I can’t stand people who post 3-4 crazed comments in a row.

The fact that you got yourself so goddamned worked up and enraged over this harmless story that you felt compelled to just keep COMING BACK and posting more hateful vitriol shows that you’ve got some serious instability issues.

You don’t like stories about players doing unusual/funny things? This may be the wrong website for you.

What was the point of this story anyway? Its just another story about some showboat, flashly douche that isn’t nearly as good as everyone makes him out to be. I can’t stand stories like this one. I just pointing out facts, that’s all dude.

So you went to your 1st Nats game in September, just like all the others…

Trout only had 26 more AB’s and they played in the same amount of games, yet Trout had 38 MORE hits, scored 31 MORE runs, knocked in 24 MORE runs, had an avg. that was 56 points higher along with an OB% that was almost 6 full points higher. And he stole 30 MORE bases then Harper. I not even going to mention his defense. Trout is better and its not even by a little, the gap IS pretty big. Harper had an average season at best for a rookie. Go look at the raw baseball stats, not that sabermetics bullshit. And Trout doesn’t look like he’s going to a fucking KISS concert every night, he looks like a ballplayer.

Thinking of the level of service our Nats (half) season ticket group gets, wondering if Young Mr. Harper might be an upgrade.

See what happens when you don’t pay players during spring training? They have to take side jobs to pay the bills!

Wonder what his sales pitch is? Does he offer to hit a home run for Mr. and Mrs. Lastname if they upgrade to the Super Duper Gold Plated Armandaleg Ticket Plan? Or does he say, Come hang out with me in left field all season?

I like how the sentiment about Harper has turned around since he broke into the bigs. He IS the kind of guy you want headlining the next wave of talent (alongside Trout).

I believe Michael Morse did this with the Mariners a week or two ago. I’m guessing most teams have guys do this, and really if your name is on a list as a previous season ticket holder and one of the players calls you odds are good you’ll re-up.

I don’t even like the Nats, and that makes me want to sign up for some tix.

Probably just a publicity stunt, but I have to admit, it’s a pretty good one.
