After making the above posts I just thought of something. I want you guys to try to be as honest with yourself as possible. If anything, it should help you understand where I am coming from when I make posts about the Dodgers.
If this was a game between the Rays and the Dodgers instead of the Rangers and I made these same posts above, how many of you would assume I am crying, whining, or making excuses? You do not have to answer on here, but just think about it.
Now that you have thought about it, let me say this just for clarity and understanding sake only. I am a very analytical and logical person. I seldom make comments based on emotion (you don't have to believe me, but I am being completely honest). When I make similar posts about the Dodgers it is for the same reason I do so with any other team. My opinion is solely based on analysis and probability. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't care if you believe me or not. I can assure you I am being completely honest. The only reason I am stating this is to avoid these countless posts of me having to explain myself or clarify after 5 people make the same false assumption.
When the Dodger playoff games start and I am making posts about the games about what could have or should have happened, or if I make a comment that the game is over with a 3 run lead in the 9th, it is for the same exact reason I am stating the same things about this game. It is solely based on my knowledge of the team, the game, and the situation through an analytical view. My comments are not emotively made for the purpose of excuses. It does not mean my comments always be correct. But it does mean that I am being honest.
So please stop with the "excuse", "crying", or "whining" accusations. I am not making posts or comments for any of those reasons. I don't make personal comments about anyone on here, so I ask that you stop doing so with me. Not because it bothers me, but because I would like to keep this thread about the games being played, not about any particular poster.
Thanks for reading and understanding.
