    Boxy is kind of a rally killer for this team. I might have to ban him once before he becomes mod.
  2. TheHurl
    That's why you aren't managing Buck...well that and alcoholism.

    Straight fan votes...they needed to do this in a head to head matchup with brackets.

    they are going do them monthly until Devers blows one of them...which is apparently the only way he's making top 10

    2014 best Cap in the minors competition. Not sure if they have done recent ones. http://www.milb.com/milb/fans/caps/y2014/

    Having conversations with Swedes makes you a troll.

    when he loses his job in Goins...he'll waive

    You mean as SS after Tulo gets dealt

    Welcome to above replacement level Mr. Goins. Amazing that it coincides with Gruber's return too. I'm pretty happy as I was continually live betting the Jays.

    Join him. I don't mind fighting...but gloating while a guy can't respond is just childish.

    19 years ago today...Marshall McDougall a Florida State middle infielder went 7 for 7 with 6 HR, 16 RBIs and 25 total bases (all still NCAA records).

    so much hate for him right now...
  20. TheHurl
    In a calendar year that makes the Cubs, Brewers, Twins, Giants and now Jays that have dumped him. All while putting up some solid K numbers.

    It is brutal here too. I've had many conversations with Mary Spencer (Olympic Boxer who has dedicated her retired life to living and developing the communities) and two of my classmates are working in Aboriginal Sport. Much has to change. Which probably means the elders dying off and a younger more aware generation coming in. It's not like there isn't attention being paid by the activists on this, very few people have dedicated their life to this movement...but if something like this draws no traction does anyone actually believe that the real issues will be dealt with either. As I said it's about political power. I'm not stupid as to the real issues.

    Florida State also banned headdresses and redface on campus or at games, have helped develop the community and provide education seminars, and use a real Seminole as the mascot. A lot can be said for doing things in the right way.

    I've been to the rally's I know that there are plenty of Natives which care. Lets not do a self identified poll with 520 participants and only 44% actually enrolled in a tribe (less than one 1 hundredths of a percent of Natives in America). As I've said before, where was the poll about how African Americans felt about Donald Sterling? The word is a slang about a group of people, it wouldn't still be around if Natives had any political power. That is something which pretty much no one could deny. We also know that for the next 4 years there is zero chance it will change.
  24. TheHurl
    I certainly know plenty that don't care, don't know a whole lot that see them as pride but I'm sure they are out there. For me the fascinating part has become my realization that Aboriginals (or Natives in the U.S.) have zero power. I grew up believing that they could get away with anything (no taxes, could sell illegal items, open casinos), but the truth is that they have zero political pull. If they can't get something as simple as a mascot banned or name changed...how are they supposed to believe that their real issues can be handled. When I heard it that way my view changed. How effective have I been in the movement, I'd say in my 20+ years of talking about it I've probably changed 3 or 4 minds (maybe more in my return to school but I have no idea if those kids were just trying to shut me up).
  25. TheHurl
    So empowering. One of my favourite points so many make about the change the name and not your mascot movements is that this is a new thing. Just because you didn't care it doesn't mean that it hasn't been going on for almost 50 years now. Difference is that white people like me are now in on it.
