I'll weigh in here. I would accept the mod nomination if the admin and other mods would be okay with it. I'm sure this is unexpected to some, but I would never ban someone simply for disagreeing with my way of analysing baseballl. The biggest problem, like many have mentioned, is the GDTs where when things aren't going right for the Jays it can become insufferable as a result of the reoccurring accounts spewing their garbage all over. We're not Orioles Hangout, saying X player sucks or Y player made an awful play or Gibby messee up is torelated, but when the same person repeats the same negative crap throughout the entire game/GDT it becomes impossible to read and definitely draws people away from the main board, including myself at times. I feel like certain people definitely do get unnecessary flack (o2, TwistedLogic to name a few), and I'll be the first to admit that I've been a perpetrator at times. Perhaps with a few more mods looking out for obvious trolls it can make the main board a more enjoyable place to talk baseball and avoid people attacking each other. With all of that said, here are my mod nominations: KingKat BTS Atothe vdubmvp (how has she not been nominated yet?) intentional wok TwistedLogic BigCecil (another person who should receive more nominations) GD Northof49 jays4life19 There are some other good ones nominated in this thread, but this post is already tl;dr so I'll cap it at that.

Min, please make your prospect pick in the basketball league. Your clock expired a while ago.

It's pretty lame for people to sign up as bandwagonners (not that there's anything wrong with that) and then try to act like dedicated fans of baseball like many on this board wouldn't be watching the Blue Jays or any other baseball for that matter if the team wasn't good. To try to argue that baseball is too boring and thus many of us wouldn't be watching if the Jays weren't good is quite honestly idiotic in a BASEBALL MESSAGEBOARD. This is a beautiful sport and many of us are in baseball fever year-round.

The best team in baseball winning is a national (USA! USA! USA!) tragedy and embarrassing to the major baseball organization in the world.

Dickey getting freaky with Price.

lol Country Breakfast.

Chavez has 9 strikeouts and no walks in 4.2 innings. But you know he sucks because them meatballs and stuff.

Goins' pitch was shoulder high and Pillar's hit was on an outside fastball that he drove the other way. Meatballs!

That and he got ridiculously unlucky. K/9 over 11, BB/9 over 4, but really high HR/FB% (25%) and very low LOB (52.5%) resulting in a 8.44 ERA, 5.91 FIP despite a 3.90 xFIP. He's regressed heavily since then.

He's hitting the corners with decent consistency. I fail to see all of these meatballs that you keep bringing up.

Chavez has a 0.41 xFIP people. He has 5 K to 0 BB, and a 50% HR/FB.

I love how you say this when Buehrle is the opposing pitcher.

Did anyone else think the cameraman was trolling us and that was just a routine flyball?

Omg Goins!!!

Remember when Trouba was pissed off that we were getting Gray rather than getting an easier pitcher like Chavez? How's that working out thus far?

o2 checked his IP. King got banned for a month, so he came back as a troll.

Yay speed

I love Mark Buehrle! Amazing play by Pennington on the other end.

This is why Buehrle beats DIPS.

I did lol, it was right after I finished reading it. This was back in Grade 8 for me I think.

f***, it's been too long since I read it.

You didn't get The Outsiders reference?

Why did Around Baseball become the poll for Ang's dumn thread? Wtf?

Arrow-less: Sorry Atothe, I'm stealing your thunder.

Lol Gibby is such a likable guy.
