What is up with the thread quality here these days? It's like every single thread is full of useless crap. We don't need the entire population of talksox posting a one-liner about how much they love Papelbon's one year contract.

If you're post consists of only a ":lol:" to an unfunny comment then you may want to reconsider hitting the submit button.

Flame away!

I think there's something to the theory that thread quality tends to decline when the offseason arrives.

I think it'll pick up in March. We have something to constantly talk about.

Fairly ironic.

But yeah, it's not exactly prime season for good baseball talk. It will get back up.

It's a slow time of year. Not much news of any consequence to debate over.

Besides most of the guys fighting are people who are stuck in places where winter blows. Of course there fuses are going to be shorter. And fights are bound to break out.

There is, of course, the "diony and jacko" factor to be considered as well.

[RedSoxRooter]

yeah

Flame away!There's nothing going on. There are no games. The Hot Stove season is over. We are in no man's land until the ST games start. Thank goodness for ARod. He gave us something to discuss the past two weeks.

Add me to the list of people who hold the opinion that this is due to the offseason effect. The place is always much busier and much more entertaining when there is baseball going on. It'll get better, trust me.

In other news, can we add a motion 'lol' smiley? I feel gay as shit everytime I use this thing :lol:.

Really? I like using :lol:. Certainly better than putting "lol".

The one I think is gay is this one... :shock:

[BSN07]

I admit some new smilies would be welcome. But we have some pretty good ones here,:wtf::stop::ortiz::what::banned::papelbon: :joke: are all good ones.




:sleep: This is my gay one. Look at it quick(closed eyes look like an arm, his mouth looks like his eye getting big and small, the pillow looks like his feet) and he looks likes he's giving himself a knob job.
