The Silence of Winning

[tomsred]

"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence" ..... Paul Simon

 

Seems appropriate on a night after a nice win, the critical silence is deafening, it's a beautiful thing.

"Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

 

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We're off to never-never land"-Kirk Hammett, James Alan Hetfield, Lars Ulrich

 

Seems appropriate to remind everyone that we're STILL ten games back.

Winning brings back sanity

Good thread, Tom. Bitches are gonna bitch.

The chatroom was quite pleasant during the game. It was like relaxing on the back porch with a glass of Chardonnay on a warm summer night.

What a great song. It brought tears to my eyes when he sang it at the 10 yr anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Songwriters like that are hard to find these days.

[HaloNation]

can't really complain about a win....but then again you can't really cheer either considering the situation

[FabulousFabregas]

I was at a friend's house and side by side there were two TV's with the Dodgers and Angels game on.  Was a nice sight to see the Doyyers getting their ass kicked and us winning simultaneously.

Quiet night on fb/twitter as well

No dodger fans claiming a division title in july

Good thread, Tom. Bitches are gonna bitch.

Someone will find something to bitch about anyway

[BaseballMom]

If bitches didn't bitch, there wouldn't be a need for a forum...thank goodness for bitches!

Absolutely! Except one thing, the same people who bitch and moan don't cheer or praise the team when they win. Let alone a kudos thread/post after a win.

How about this..

Bitches who only bitch are gonna bitch..

Paul Simon has penned some of the best lyrics. Today's song may be Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Winning sucks.

When Bowie sang America that night I lost it.

One of my married friends told us many, many years ago that having sex can make you and your spouse forget why you might be upset with each other. When the Angels win, it's kind of the same effect here on the boards.

[Brandon]

Glad it wasn't your unmarried friend.

Yup!

I agree 110%. This place would be crap without bitches.

I agree too within reason.  But too much of many things can be a bad thing.  Specifically with regard to bitching, how it's done is important.  It's much more effective if done responsibly, kind of like drinking alcohol.

Seems to me that alcohol and bitches go together like peas and carrots.

Back to back wins, ONLY 2 games under .500, staying right there with the mighty Mariners...
Hey its the high point of the season!

[thebloob]

When you start to feel good just repeat to yourself

 

"8 1/2 more years"

 

That'll bring ya back to reality quick.

[HaloFan85]

Losing = bitching about losing

 

Winning = bitching about those that like bitching about losing.
