Jesus Christ!

Dude, I am having fun. I enjoy argumentation for what it is, and applying a rhetorical model is part of that. If that's not your preference, that's cool...just keep taking out the crayons posting on this thread.

Um..."YOU KNOW I AM RIGHT AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TO PROVE ME WRONG?" You're right. That's how it works. It's like when Martin Luther King, Jr. was all like, "Man, Black people really are inferior...the Klan is right. I guess I'll just have to go to extreme lengths to prove them wrong." Or, in actuality, maybe the problem is that I'm making arguments and you're making unfounded claims, so I feel the need to reiterate my arguments. Although, I don't know why I'm doing so, since everybody else on this thread seems to think you don't know what's going on. I guess I keep posting so that those other people don't have to do it themselves.

Finally--to the argument. You never said, "The Twins won loss record would place them in last place were they in the American League West." Also, that is not true, as the Texas Rangers would be in last. And now, I quote, with spelling errors corrected: "Check out the standings!" and "Just check out any sports section in today's papers!"

The proof was in the statistical analysis. That's as close as we can get to truth in this kind of discussion, and I haven't seen you make an attempt to get closer. Also, as of today the Mariners' record would be worse if they played the Twins more times, as they've split on the season. The Twins would most likely be in third.

My prediction was related to the failure of your attempts to answer my argument. I see that I look like Carnac once again.
