Don’t Let It End This Way, Tim Wakefield

by Red on July 20, 2010

"What can I do/Pictures of you still make me cry..."

With Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz coming off the DL, the Sox will need to make room in the rotation. Short of tying John Lackey in a burlap sack and shipping him to Guam — something that I’m sure has been debated in the Fenway back offices — the likeliest guy to go to the pen will be Wakey.

It’s a shame, because I love the guy like Joanie loves Chachi, but, man, do I want to punch myself in the nuts when he takes the mound these days. He’s not just been bad, he’s been uber-bad, and that Deliverance-worthy shakedown at the hands of Texas last Thursday may have been the lowlight of this season.

If the Gods of Baseball are benevolent, Wake will go out there tonight, throw barrels of nasty at the Oakland A’s, tie them up in knots and get carried off the field by his teammates after tossing a full-nine shutout. And because he is truly an enigma wrapped inside a riddle protected by Kevin Youkilis’s enchanted jockstrap — a guy who has regularly follows up flat-out gruesome starts with flashes of Cy Young-esque brilliance — it could happen.

And I hope it does. For Wake. For me. For the Sox.

But mostly for Wake.

Yes, that was the one that did it for me too actually, and the posts leading up to it.

Oh.  Erm....

Hmm....

Then I guess we have three choices.

1. Everyone else leave here and go somewhere else

2. Introduce a "block" feature on the board (not sure if that's possible)

3. Request that he be banned (not sure if that's possible)

Don't see why we shouild have to do the first one.  

The second one might be handy.

ESF - oddly enough it was an exchange with you that really brought it home for me: 

You: I know you try hard, but you're really not very funny.  Kindly stop taking digs at my country.

Him: Here, let me help you with that knot in your panties.

You see, when you soak them like that, it is very hard to untie them.

On second thought, you are a humorless, unjustifiably self-important waste of my time.  So on this 4th of July, where my ancestors [Poland was an English colony?--Ed.]--Ireland was--cast off the shackles of Tyranny, Pomposity, and Bad Cooking, you can kindly go fuck yourself.

Seemed a bit over the top, no?

We have compromising pictures of red in a bunny suit in what appears to be Thailand. Take it upon yourself to fill in the blanks.

Yeah, probably.  I think the only thing that may work is if everyone just ignores him completely.  Maybe after a few days/weeks/months of talking to himself he'll get bored and fuck off.

What is it that makes everyone think he's been banned though?  People seem to be coming to that conclusion for some reason.

I'm not a fan of banning people either usually.  But some people do bring it on themselves.

If he drove ME out because he was annoying, you know it's got to be bad.

i honestly dont think we do.  i think he'll be back, one way or another.  even if he was banned (a fact im not sure of), bans are not easily enforced

hopefully he'll get the message.  more likely he'll just come back even more over the top pompous

while i dont agree with a ban (and i dont think any of us - even my foul-mouthed self - fuck off and die you piece of shit), i do not believe anything would have worked

he's been a troll on every board he is a member.  sportingnews, bushido, etc etc etc.  it's the same pattern over and over.

if i thought a talking to would work, id be all for it.  but his ego would prevent him from changing up.  all you have to do is look at his history on the internet to understand this

whether it was his constant usage of the c word done soley to irritate folks he knew didnt like it, his talking about stalking of women on this board, to his annoying troll habits he just couldnt help....he made a lot of folks leave

i dont agree with a ban....but have no idea what else would work

You know, if the casual viewer were to come in here they'd likely say "What is wrong with you people? What'd this guy do that almost every comment of his is met by "Fuck off and die you sack of shit""..I mean yeah, also "I must have missed a lot this guy did"...but still.

I'm generally against banning people unless they've gone WAY! over the line but I'd just had it with the guy.  He was asked countless times to just dial it back but, if anything, he amped it up just to be contrary.

You know he's toast if someone like Ted goes off on him.

And whats really interesting is that you've needed to add an ENTIRE program to your computer to block people who generally don't find anything you have to say interesting. You have not one original thought and play off of the meme's of other forums until you become most associated with their usage to the point where it makes me SICK to even utter the terms I was once amused by. 

Please do us a favor and just find somewhere else. Open up another AIM window and chat with yourself, eventually you'll have this whole place on ignore anyway. 

And in case you already have me on ignore, I gave your mother a fantastic Beethoven last night, so when you call her for your care package today she may not be able to hear you so well. Make sure you speak up.

Get hit by a bus you piece of shit. That would help me enjoy my day. Immensely. If you genuinely care about our feelings you will fulfill this simple request.

Interesting that you would consider those who have spent countless hours here...those that YOU ran out as "trolls".

Jack ass.
