Rare Home Run Achievement

fintach · 09-01-2020, 12:52 AM

Growing up a Giants fan, I was always blown away by the fact that Willie McCovey hit two homers in one inning.

Tonight, my catcher Juan Portillo did that in the 8th inning of what had been a close game.

Fernando Tatis, Sr. finds that only mildly impressive...

Too bad we can't get a sticky where we all acknowledge once and for all we understand your point. That way we don't have to see you make it over and over and over and over.

Or you guys could just quit making your points over and over and over

So, what exactly IS your point? That we should not mention names of players who do things? That we should not mention anything that happens because it only happens due to the unique circumstances that occurred prior to the unique event? That we should not pay attention to anything that happens?

Your point seems to come from under a foot bridge crossing a brook in a lonely part of the woods.....

The IGNORE feature of this forum works and is perfectly suited to this ignorant buffoon. I only see his drivel when it is quoted. You should avail yourself of this useful feature.

Glad to see you are back and no worse the wear from the storm.

No
That you've come to those conclusions reflects much more poorly on you than on me

That you concluded that those are conclusions is a poor reflection of your reading comprehension..... I asked a question and postulated some hypotheses.... So, if you would be so kind as to enlighten a poor ignorant misanthrope, what IS your point?

Ok

I would not be so kind

Enjoy your slugs

Not so kind as what? I do not understand the comment.

Are you, then, refusing to make your point clear to me?

To enlighten you, as you asked

Yes
I don't believe you're asking in good faith, so I have no reason to answer

How could I not be asking in good faith?
That implies that I know the answer and want to embarrass you by making you admit the truth....
But that is not the case. I am truly ignorant of the point you are trying to make.
I do admit, freely, that I am skeptical that the point is one worth making, but I would like to know what it is before making that judgement.

It does imply that at all

Again with the poor conclusions

The only thing that refusing to answer implies to me is that my original assumption that you are just trolling is true.

I think the ignore button is a silly feature for people without self control and anyone who advocates its use should be put on ignore.

That sounds like you are advocating for everyone to put you on ignore....

Functionally that means everyone who agrees with me will put me on ignore and those who don't won't. Then I don't have to be bothered with people posting "cool', "you go", "right on" and other fanboy drivel.

Don’t worry about CB. He is fine in the wind tunnel playing with his playdoh.
