texas rangers is better then the best team in baseball
win win win win said 06/30, 04:55 AM
Well, being a Cowboys fan for over 40 something years, I've about seen it all. I used to get really PO'd when they lost a game. Imagine my chagrin when they lost a SB. However, getting older (and wiser?), I finally come to the conclusion that the game, and the team, are entertainment, and what they do, or don't do, is beyond my control. So, when they win, great!......when they lose, my life goes on, as does my "honeydo's" around the house.
I've also learned how to enjoy the game for what it is......a game. I enjoy watching other teams play as well, and I do and have for years now.
In my opinion about the Cowboys and Romo. They will be better than last year, yes. But, I have my doubts about making the playoffs. They might, because a 1 year turnaround is very possible. But, I know not to get my hopes up too high, especially since Jones has owned the team. Romo is still their best hope for having a playoff caliber QB, although a lot of Cowboys fans will vehemently disagree with me, and are already eating him alive. Again, it's something I cannot control, but can only hope. If he never develops into another Aikman, at least he was more fun to watch than say.....Quincy Carter, or Chad

Is there someone masquerading as me? I have no knowledge of deliberately wanting to do a throwdown, other than turning down a request by this MLB guru. I don't do baseball in any way, shape or form. So my knowledge is very limited. You win, MLB guru. 0-16 should now put you at 1-17. Congrats. The above subject matter is indeed mine, but from a football thread, which appears to be copied and pasted, and does NOT match the title of this TD.
Enjoy your win, dude.

Forfeited Turn
Bull_Shirt_Retired said 07/02, 04:54 AM
So, we each get 3 arguments. My "fearless" opponent has forfeited his 2nd one. I can totally understand his wanting to forfeit since he posed a question related to baseball, then copied and pasted a comment that I MADE ABOUT FOOTBALL on a football board as his argument. That has to be original. And insane. But, if it was me that started this thing in the fashion that he did, I believe that I'd also be embarrassed. But, this is not about character issues, and I'm not going to speculate on my opponents mental health either, although he/she has left that open for debate.
I'm trying to do some semblance of an argument here, but finding it difficult. The best possible way is to ignore his copying and pasting of his first argument, and concentrate on the question "Texas Rangers are better than the best team in baseball"... This sentence begs the question of just WHO is the best team in MLB? I certainly do not care as stated before, but that's neither here nor there. It also begs the question of when. Does it mean this year, or for all time? I'm not going to do any research of this subject just to prove some fruitless point because the fact is, I just don't care.

My unseen and silent opponent has once again elected to forfeit, so I will add a touch of humor to this, although I doubt I'll get a response.
You don't say MLB guru? Yes, you really don't say............anything. A man of few words, I see.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
Do you suppose it would be useless to argue with an idiot, because then I'd be drug down to their level and be beaten by experience?
Anyway, folks. There you have it. It's hard to fight a "battle" with an unarmed opponent. I hope this is the last time I have to respond, because I'm running out of things to say, at least in this subject matter. I could go off track, but why?

I'm glad someone knows who he/she is. I don't know this person from Adam's off ox. Still don't. Da.mn.dest thing I've ever seen in FN.
I don't quite know where to start with this debate, being that the subject matter is something I've already said and posted and has nothing to do with the Texas Rangers baseball team. I guess it takes all kinds, huh?......lol
There's really no pleasure in winning something like this from someone who is evidently having fun being a tool, as Sweets says. That would be kind of like arguing with your dog or a tree, or something. This is evidently going to be one sided.........so far.
I like arguing with ......and confusing trolls a lot better..........hahahaha!
Thanks for the support, guys.................
This deserves one of my patented flounder smiles............"-)

I don't know who you are, what you do for a living, what size shoe you wear, or anything about you. I can say the same exact thing about this guru person. I did NOT start this. I can't get any plainer than that. I've said this before, but maybe I said it in another form of English that you may not understand.
There is NO arguments here. None. Zilch. Nada. The subject matter does NOT match with the title of this TD.........one is baseball and the other is football. So, pray tell, how can there be any arguments? And, who is arguing? Certainly not I!
For one to debate something, it takes at least 2 people. You ask "whazz up with that?"....I cannot even begin to give you a clue on "whazz up with that?" because I'm just as in the dark as anyone else. I did NOT ask to be in this, I did NOT start it, nor will I ask you to vote, or even comment for that matter.
Let me make this perfectly clear, in the event that you think I really give a damn.........I do NOT follow baseball, even living in Texas. I do NOT care about the Rangers, the Angels, the Astros, or anything about the sport.
I do NOT even care if I do happen to "win" this debate. Does that answer any questions you might have? If not, just open your pie hole, and ask again, and I'll be happy to explain in in more simpler terms.

He/she very well may be incognito as this Socal person for all I know, EZ. Wouldn't surprise me. I do wish either or both would come on back and show some trollish behavior, tho. I need to find a troll to have fun with. It's been too long............hahahaha

Good job?
I didn't do anything, other than watch this guy make up a ridiculous TD, then not show up to debate the insanity of it. This thing was one way all the way, with no effort expended on either side. I spent more time "arguing" with the spectators.............lol

Your guess is as good as mine, OSACF. It surprised me as much as I've been in years.

Unfortunately, one is limited with characters on the arguments, and I did not finish what I was arguing on my 2nd go around. But, sometimes, that's how the world spins. Your turn, Mr Guru.
