This is 1000x more important to the org than anything Tim Lincecum does today.

True.  Unless, of course Lincecum comes up and does well so we can trade him for prospects.  

Cowart just went deep off top 30 prospect Braden Shipley.  

I did, thanks!

They're here and they'll be here the other 364 days of the year when CJ Cron is a not so good player.
i know it might seem crazy, but some of us are able to hold these two thoughts in our head simultaneously:
"way to go, CJ, that's a great game."
"CJ Cron is a shitty baseball player"

I don't see how that's possible since they watch this team every day.

I heard we were just a couple of players away from being good though.

@CaliAngel he can do stupid shit all day but he shouldn't be calling people names on here, sorry if you have a problem with that.  

I can't even with this story. What a magnificent bastard.
(and I do hope he's ok)

you say you want to have a "conversation" but I call bullshit. you sure sound like you've already made up your mind and this post is just an opportunity for you to try and shame the "failos", or basically anyone you feel doesn't measure up to you as a fan.
and for the record, i personally follow every game and try to watch when and where I can, though I would say given the state of the org they've slipped down my list of priorities to an extent. I wouldn't say that there's no hope this year, though I would say realistically the team doesn't have a great chance, and I don't see a lot to feel good about the next few years. However, the great thing about sports is that things can change quickly, which is why I'll continue to follow the team.
But feel free to look down on the rest of us from your soapbox, superfan.

Amen to that last part, brother.
and no I don't personally feel shamed. After all this is a baseball fan board and I'm a grown man, but that sure seems to be the intent of a lot of the posters on here, unfortunately.
why don't we all just enjoy the team and the game of baseball in our own way, yeah?

Well I'm sorry, Strad, but the whole premise of your thread is incredibly condescending. "Explain to me how you can enjoy the game when you don't root for your team the same way I do"
it's also more than a little smug coming on the heels of a 4 game winning streak.

If I didn't think you were a dick before . . .

"Clarification" - yes, that is arrogant, having nothing to do with baseball or this board. Do you ask a transgender person to clarify why they're that way, or a minority to clarify why they feel persecuted? People have different worldviews, different experiences, etc - it's not all going to make sense to you and ffs it doesn't have to. Just accept that everyone is different. Sorry to get up on my own soapbox but the need to have people's preferences makes sense to YOU really rubs me the wrong way.
as for you being a dick, I don't know you so I wouldn't think that (though notti is certainly a dick, lol). But I suspect from your posts that you're an earnest guy and that you dislike cynicism. No harm in that. But I think you too often confuse pragmatism/realism with cynicism, when reality isn't to your liking. Just my take based on your posts on here.
