A Tribute to Robb- All Apologies to Robb + Alias's of Robb

by ohtobe21likehuston on Oct 24, 2005 4:00 PM PDT

Why does everyone hate Nick Swisher? He is a good player and should play all the time. Everyone is hating him and for what?

People need to quit hating Huston Street because of all the saves he blew this year. The guy is rookie of the year but why doesn't anyone like him? He is a good closer and doesn't throw as hard as Dotel but he's good.

How come nobody thinks Blanton did a good job? He probably doesn't know how to pitch yet but he's only a rookie and Redman probably would have done much better anyway, right? Blanton is a good pitcher. He pitches good. Nobody knows how good of a pitcher he is yet but I'm tellin you everyone will like him more next year.

Dan Johnson is a great player but he gets no respect from anyone around here. Does anyone really know that he is a good player for being a rookie? No one respects him but you'll see how wrong you were about him after another year of playing for the A's. He is going to be great.

The A's may not have any chance next year with the team they are fielding but people need to not dog them for the year they had this year. They could have been much worse and finishing second ain't all that bad really is it? At least they won the AL West and Texas hasn't lately and everyone's payroll is higher.

This is extremely wrong

For cryin out loud man, there is no need for this.

Robb is not "mcbronsh". Don't be an ass.

I really don't see a point in this. I thought we were past the whole Robb "saga".

Basically this isn't funny, mcbronsh is not Robb, and this is stupid.

McBronsh?

I wasn't claiming that McBronsh was Robb. I actually miss Robb's remarks from time to time so it was only a tribute to him. Sorry if I was an ass but McBronsh has nothing to do with it.

if it's not related to mcbronsh

then why is this post a parody of mcbronsh's Mark Ellis diary?

Why?

There is a guy in my office that is a spitting image of him and he is always making random statements. He actually made one shortly before I sent the email so that is the exact reason.

I can understand why you say it was in bad taste, though, and I've felt bad about it ever since. Not because of McBronsh but because of the chance that Robb might get upset.

Unfortunately, he did

(he sent me a private "vent" email since he can't exactly reply here), but it seems to me as if this diary was intended to be harmless; hopefully he and others will interpret it that way and move on...

I'm sorry

Hey Nico- I apologize for causing you an inconvenience too. Won't EVER happen again.

Hey ohtobe...

Don't know if you're still checking this diary, but really, no sweat from my point of view. I didn't think there were any ill intentions involved in making this diary; I thought it was, at worst, an innocent mistake--and even using the word "mistake" is a bit of a stretch, IMO.

Not credible

And the point of this is...?

Not informative, not (realistically) discussion-oriented, not funny.

So...

I decide to go and check who thought this diary was worth recommending, and find that it was Rob.

That made my day.

B

Rob and Robb are different.
Rob types clearly and thinks soundly.
Robb does not.
