Com'on Laz, this is the kind of whining and complaining I would expect from the RATs at DU. Do I think that F'n held the shake too long? Of course. Its one of the oldest tricks in the book when dealing with an adversary. Do I think he did it to mess with GWB's tie? You're giving Lurch far too much credit. Let me explain something. This is the big leagues. If you're going to play in the big leagues, then you have to expect stuff like this. I mean, when Pedro throws at your head you get out of the way and then get back in the batter's box, look for your pitch, and go with it. You don't cry and complain and bitch because as a professional in the majors, this sort of stuff is SOP. And if Mo Lewis lays you out flat, you shouldn't run around crying about how he hits too hard. Get up, brush yourself off, and next time drive your shoulder into his gut. There are too many f'n weanies around here. This is big league politics. Stop making excuses. Stop being cry babies.
I think you mistake my tone. I'm not whining, I'm observing... and hoping we accomodate the tricks next time.
I hate it when people sugarcoat and beat around the bush.
You should really try to be more open with your feelings.
(tongue planted firmly in cheek)
and you are absolutely correct.
