Tough to win a WS when you can count on Clayton to get shelled at least twice.

Mobs create bandwagon bias.

Good guys are not infallible.

Regardless of your view, no one or entity achieves 100% accuracy and success.

If you don’t understand this post, carry on.

Hey Chuck
Thanks for reinforcing my point. I am truly sorry you are so angry. I hope that can change. It is a great hobby but as in anything it is not all positive.

Happy collecting to all

don't start or I really will be angry. . You didn't have to watch the guy give up 3 bombs yesterday next to my wife, the Yankee Fan.

Just what I expected, no runs and a pounding.

My bigger concern would be if Ryu's magical run is over or if he just had one exceptionally bad outing. He may have set a record this deep into the season for biggest one game ERA increase.

As I was saying. Man, did he ever get shelled again. Another jump of .35 in his ERA. This is unbelievable. In Sparky Lyle's words (and it's irrelevant that he happens to be Asian, not part of the joke), he may go from Cy Young to sayonara at this rate.

I think Buehler is ahead of Ryu in the Cy Young race if he has another great start

its too bad he didnt get the Win, in 2 of his recent starts when he allowed zero runs in 6 or 7 innings..

Ryu is 3rd in the Cy Young race just on pitchers on his own team, not the whole NL at this point.

LOTG just concluded a great auction... And to Eric's point, let's look at the positives (which still outweigh the negatives by about a 10 to 1 ratio...)

Leon, that was a tremendous pickup on the Forbes Field Tri-fold PC. Just a stunning piece with great clarity... I might've driven the price up on you, had I not just won something in REA, and was chasing something else in LOTG.

Great pickup at a nice price!

Oh! It hurts the most because it's true.

I just saw this thread in the last hour or so for the first time.

Having read through it, my main thought is :

Too bad the OP didn't notice these issues more than a couple hours before the close of the auction.


If he had, maybe before there were too many bids on the items (I haven't checked how many bids either item received), MAYBE the auction house would have pulled the items, and maybe that would have been best.

But, as others mentioned, if I were a bidder (I was not for either item), I would have preferred the method that the AH took of contacting each bidder and giving them the opportunity to withdraw their bid(s).

At this point, it seems to me that there are no victims in what happened, only willing participants, so it seems like moving on is the best course of action.

As to comparisons to other situations, don't get me started, we all know I have a potty mouth.
