even in his slump he knocked in a couple RBIs.
Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player.

Not at all
I was on the phone.
Why wouldn’t I want him to hit a homer.
I wanted him to get a hit the other 25 times this month he didn’t, why do you think I was giving him a hard time?
The name of the game is to win
Not say, “I told you so” when your team wins. WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING. I love it how people will post a comment like that but say nothing when the hitter fails 20 times in a row.
Ellis seems to be a second half hitter and I have said that before. I hope he gets 10 hits in a row. H has done better since he was moved down out of the 2 hole. I had been calling for him to be moved for a week. And Yes, he has to be in the lineup because of his great defense and Yes I would sign him to a contract after this year.
Geren tried several times to lose the game so we got lucky because Geren managed like a moron today with Joe and Brown

I guess I don't understand the point of
carping about whoever is cold at the moment, which is always someone. Presumably you will now chose a new target, all the while never making any positive comment ever.

Stop being selective
I have made plenty of positive comments.
If you wish to pick apart posts because a fan posts negative comments then I cannot stop you but I suggest you find something better to do with your time as it really doesn’t change anything because last time I checked there was not a law against ripping a player because he’s in a slump.
Many people are positive all the time, good for them, that’s great. I just cannot see myself praising someone who makes out after out after out. I vent because I want the team to win. People do it in different ways.
It’s like the positive person who jumps off the 50th floor of the Empire State building and says, “So far, so Good”

Wow, really?
Lets try this, take these two comments from your post above:
“The name of the game is to win Not say, "I told you so" when your team wins.”
“I love it how people will post a comment like that but say nothing when the hitter fails 20 times in a row.”
So by this logic, mikeA was wrong for an “I told you so” when Ellis came through with the big hit, but it is perfectly okay for you to say basically “I told you so” every single time Ellis makes an out????
We are playing great ball, and Ellis is a big part of that. Why the constant hating?

I see your point
But when someone does something good like Ellis did there, then the team benefits.
Ellis before today was pressing and just making very unproductive outs. Yeah, everyone gets in a slump, that’s baseball but many times they will try and do the little things like move the runner over etc. He was so bad the last week that he was not helping. That is why I was ragging on him and Geren for leaving him in the 2 hole.
He is better now he is down the lineup. That’s great, that was a positive.
