I think you nailed her style pretty good there.

[MusicMan]

Just pray that in their retribution that they cease with him.

Yeah, not so much.

[Noe in Austin]

Yeah, not so much.

OUCH!

That was not a good thing to see happen (being a former horrible catcher who escaped major injury many a time).  Time to choke some chicken and fling it over one's shoulder.

You know how this works...an act of contrition must be made by the offender as well as the rest of us who (by no choice of our own) associate with him.

In other words, the first step for III is admitting what he's done and finding a way to make amends.

[Astroholic]

Now Q is gone?  Who next?  Tempt the BBG's...Brilliant.

I think you're skipping a few.

1.  Admit that you are powerless over the BBGs and that your season as become unmanageable.
2.  Come to believe that the BBGs can restore you to sanity.
3.  Make a decision to turn your will over to the BBGs, as you understand them.
4.  Make a fearless inventory of your baseball knowledge, and lack thereof.
5.  Admit to the BBGs, to yourself, and to another poster the exact nature of your wrongs.
6.  Be entirely ready to make changes.
7.  Humbly ask the BBGs to remove your shortcomings.
8.  Make a list of all the persons you have wronged, and all the resulting calamities from the BBGs.
9.  Make direct amends, wherever possible.
10.  Continue to promptly admit when you have wronged the BBGs.
11.  Seek, through prayer, meditation, or chicken sacrifice, to improve your conscious contact with the BBGs, praying only for knowledge of their will.
12.  Carry this message to others who defy the BBGs.

I suggest we call Spack out and have him seal this thread somewhere far, far away, where human hands will never again touch it.

You can sell that to NBC and call it "My Name Is JCIII".

Cabrera and shit.  Sorry for the double.

Spack should have nuked this thread from orbit 3 pages ago. This is perhaps the dumbest fucking thread I have ever read on OWA.

You forgot imbibing Ohio "chili"...

I'm done with this thread.  Hopefully Spack will arise from his slumber and merge/lock/delete this thread and all others that have any reference to the self-indulgent ass-showing...

I disagree.  Frankly, like a head on a spike at the gates of Vlad the Impaler's Castle, this thread needs to live and serve as a warning to those that would brazenly challenge the various and sundry authorities of the BBGs.

Perhaps as a sticky.

That's saying a lot.  Welcome to the thread!

You would think a primer of some sort would help, but I fear only a handful understand the BBGs to an extent that a primer would help them.  First order of business is to have at least a working knowledge of the BBGs.  I've read some of the explanations in here about what is a BBG from some that makes me wonder.  Especially those who think it's all superstitious nonsense.  That right there tells you that some folks don't get it.

At all.

JCIII,

I would like to continuously smack you in the face while you repent and ask for forgiveness from the BBGs in from of this entire forum*


*As long as you don't later bludgeon me to death with a bowling pin

[MusicMan]

You forgot imbibing Ohio "chili"...

I'm not finished!!

JCIII must cross this field, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse.

Do this, and your men may live.

[JimR]

 put his head between his legs

he lives like this as his usual state. no problem.

[Jose Cruz III]

I think you're skipping a few.

1.  Admit that you are powerless over the BBGs and that your season as become unmanageable. I've already done that. They beat me down and showed me what an ant I am
2.  Come to believe that the BBGs can restore you to sanity. check
3.  Make a decision to turn your will over to the BBGs, as you understand them. check
4.  Make a fearless inventory of your baseball knowledge, and lack thereof. The lack thereof I have known for years
5.  Admit to the BBGs, to yourself, and to another poster the exact nature of your wrongs. Did this too and will again. I made a stupid post by a stupid person and the BBG's brought me in just so I would know that I am and idiot and they just tolerate me and everyone like me.
6.  Be entirely ready to make changes. I will never speak against the BBGs again. Not even jokingly.
7.  Humbly ask the BBGs to remove your shortcomings. That was the first thing I did but they felt all idiots such as I must learn and my shortcomings was a glaring example of the beatdown you are in for if you choose the road of stupidity such as I did.
8.  Make a list of all the persons you have wronged, and all the resulting calamities from the BBGs. Oswalt, Valverde, Quintero, Loretta, and the entire Astros nation.
9.  Make direct amends, wherever possible. Will do anything to amend my idiocy.
10.  Continue to promptly admit when you have wronged the BBGs. I have this time but I will never be guilty of wronging them again
11.  Seek, through prayer, meditation, or chicken sacrifice, to improve your conscious contact with the BBGs, praying only for knowledge of their will. I have done all 3. They are teaching me as I go for I am too stupid to learn it all at once.
12.  Carry this message to others who defy the BBGs. I will be the first one on the bus to carry the message if I should see defiance or even borderline defiance of the BBGs.

I am nothing but a worm. I don't know what I was thinking with defiance. I just humbly pray that the BBGs will smile down on the Astros in spite of the fact that they have one fan that is a complete and total idiot.

And as a warning to others, defiance takes you to a dark and lonely place that you must travel all alone. And please heed my warning, it is not a pretty place. So stay in line and avoid the wrath that will come down upon should you choose to be a moron.
