How does the TBBS see you?

They probably see me as a very handsome, attractive, intelligent, charming, confident, inconsiderate, unsubtle, irritating troll. Which I am, I suppose. :D

Do correct me if I'm not that irritating.
 
i dunno, 'that guy who likes Transformers, Doctor Who and wrote shit loads of fan-fic but now seems to have stopped' possibly.

or 'that creepy guy who hits on the chicks'

or 'is that the guy who likes Nascar?'
 
Probably as such:

I'm definitely "That Guy." You know the one whose post you see and may respond to, but have no clue who you're responding to. If someone were to ask, you'd say, "Oh, it was, um, that guy."
 
Mr. Laser Beam = Mets & Yankees & any team who doesn't have a 'new' ballpark
The age - or lack thereof - of a team's home stadium/park/field is totally irrelevant to whether or not I'm a fan. I was a Yankees & Mets fan long before they got their new parks.
So I phrased it poorly. This is a thread about how other people view you and I think of you as having a strange obsession with teams getting new ballparks.

To answer your question - of course the CBP is an improvement over the Vet. However, I couldn't care less about the Marlins or the Rays situation, because I will never have to watch a game at Tropicana field; furthermore they don't exactly have many fans to pity. Attendance would temporarily spike with a new park, but it would probably go right back down (the Phils average dropped by 7,000 their second year in CBP and only went back up because they're now competitive). Hell, the Rays are only drawing 50% capacity and they nearly won the WS last year. Furthermore, Landshark (22 years old) and the Trop (19) are not exactly dinosaurs.

For the record, I don't think of JKTim as a "loser." I think of him as an "epic rant constructor." Rooting for the Cubbies results in many JKTim masterpieces.

You are, of course, entirely correct. :techman:

They may not be old, but they clearly suck for baseball. Especially Landshark. With very few exceptions (and by "very few" I mean "Rogers Centre"), you can't build one stadium for both baseball and football - it simply doesn't work. And the Florida weather practically demands a retractable roof. Just ask the grounds crew down there. :D

(As for the Trop, it's a dump as well, but at least it was built for baseball.)

You should see me during football season.
 
An old fart who still seems fairly hip and funny (at times).

Opinionated, but with humor. Willing to admit I'm wrong when it's absolutely proven. ;)

Pro-artists' rights, anti-stealing artists' work.

Not one to suffer unsupported stupid opinions gladly.
