61, I don't think anyone is saying you cannot call a move a blunder. But we have seen, countless times, posters use idiot, ****, stupid, ****, and also many others that either had to be misspelled to get passed the censors or ****. Thats the kind of discussion points made by grade school kids

"I don't think anyone is saying you cannot call a move a blunder."

Qwik did in his thread title.

I interpreted Qwik as saying, someone called a Joe G move a blunder and it actually was the correct move.

And what is wrong with that? We have all second guessed moves Girardi has made. Its what fans do. Its what the talking heads on sports radio do given the limited information that fans and writers have. I've even heard the YES announcers question some of Girardi's moves.

Many of us complained that Laird wasn't brought up when A-Rod went down. Does that makes us whiners? When I found out Igarashi was being called up I asked the question if there wasn't a better choice because I saw disaster written all over it. As it turned out he gave up the runs that decided the game. Does that make me a fool if we find out Igarashi had a hangnail?

I think this is more about the poster who made the "blunder" comment than about the comment itself. If one of the popular kids made the comment nothing would have been said. Or maybe even qwik would have agreed.  It seems its all about who you are around here, rather than what you actually say.

61, we are arguing the same side of this discussion.  I have no problem with calling a move a blunder.  I also have no problem with Qwik or anyone else saying that the "so-called blunder" was in fact the right move.  I do think its going too far calling any of these guys idiots, dopes, or any number of censored names.  It's just my 2 cents.

I guess we should just shut this forum down then. Why bother commenting about something that we know nothing about?

Yeah, but your commenting (as well as others) is just plain stupid. After all, your just some guy with ZERO professional baseball experience, ZERO people experience, ZERO managerial experience, & ZERO baseball-managerial-people experience. 

LOL...you're just some guy, along with others, who suffers from serious case of delusions of grandeur who think you know more than 10% of anything regarding baseball or perhaps any other sport.

Just go back and look at how many time you and like-minded people have been wrong.....it's perhaps about 80%. If you ask me, that's embarrassing. It's quite disheartening given that I know you are an older fella than me, but not even close to 10% to my great brain. (LOL).
