WTF?
« on: January 23, 2017, 07:32:48 AM »
When I go to a Braves game the fans always react the same way, to a common action.
When a base runner on 1st , takes a lead, the pitcher throws over to hold him.

Every team does this and it's considered part of the game.
When Brave's pitcher throws over, the fans cheer .
But when the other team's pitcher does the exact same thing, they boo.
In fact , they start yelling ; " Pitch to the batter, you're slowing down the game"

It's the same with political debate .
Having a different opinion or political view is normal and acceptable.
BUT, have a hypocritical double standard is annoying.

Why can't more folks be a bit more fair and objective?

They sucked big balls last year and had a fire sale  of good, young talent 2 years ago .
Now they have a new stadium and might be better?

I want to be polite , but being this get big, here we go.

I voted for Hillary but, this fuzzy dingle-berry head loses me.

He makes me want to fart in his face and shine his dome with turtle wax  :D
