But I think in general
It’s far more acceptable for a woman to call another woman pretty or attractive. Man-crush is one of those constructs that seems to be trying to reinforce that the man saying it would normally never see another icky man as being crush worthy, but the target of the man-crush has something that sets him apart.
I agree with this

BigGiantHead of the Ubaldo Lover's Club;OG Thugget Loyalist #4, QPU Emeritus, Proud member PR Gynocracy
It has nothing to do with appearance, though, as implied by your comment.
It has to do with great appreciation for one ore more attributes of the person. I would want to be best friends with any of my man-crush targets. Doesn’t mean I think that they have any physical appeal whatsoever. In fact, it’s safe to say that a typical man-crush could really be restated, “I wish I was as good as so-and-so at that.”

You're right.
I maybe should have phrased it more as being able to say a woman is a great actress or a terrific tennis player. But there’s a bit of being openly complimentary of someone that can make people think there’s a sexual element to it. And so when a man admires, say, a baseball player, the term man crush serves to flag that he means nothing sexual. Whereas a woman might not care if someone thought she also admired a good actress or tennis player’s pretty face.
in point of fact

I think that it is mostly
a way of saying that you like a guy a lot in a way that is totally NOT GAY. Since women seem to be more comfortable with their sexuality, it isn’t as necessary. Some men need to explicitly point out that they are NOT GAY. Hence, man-crush rather than just saying that you really like a guy.

Don’t let the balk distract you from the fact that Tracy put a man on 3rd in a 1-0 game with two outs. Or that he didn’t go to the bullpen when he obviously should have.

I think we're just more prone to remember times when the umps screwed us
over times when the umps screwed our opponent. I doubt it’s all that far off from being a wash.

but I’d rather just have good umpiring all around than have to worry who’s going to get screwed harder any given day. I like games of skill better than games of luck.

No. He explicitly said:
I just don’t remember the rockies getting a lot of help from the umps over the years.
And RtC disagreed with Holly that all of this comes out in the wash.
The implication of this is that the Rockies get screwed by the umpires at a higher rate than other teams. And I’m saying that that is most likely not the case.
by DumbAndNerdy on Aug 26, 2011 11:03 PM MDT up reply actions
and if you have stats to back it up, that's fine
I’m stating my opinion. blah blah psychology I-took-it-in-college-too blah blah… the fact is that some teams may, in fact, get screwed at a higher rate. This isn’t necessarily a conspiracy theory – some teams get injuries at a higher rate in any given season, too, or any other number of situations that suck.

Well, what I don't like
is that it let’s our team off for bad decisions. Even in that Pirates game, I noted how the Pirates had basically conceded the game by leaving the pitcher that they had in. They may have still won but it became unlikely because of that decision. Still a bad umpire call, but you should not use that to overrule bad decisions or performances by your team.
by DumbAndNerdy on Aug 26, 2011 11:18 PM MDT up reply actions
I honestly don't think anyone on here
is using it as a way to be all Pollyanna and make excuses for the team. But it really is ok to point out things besides our team that suck. And if there was a heavy impact, it’s ok to point that out too. Notice that I did mention something about our O being stupid… if there were a bigger lead, it might not have been such a big deal, etc. It’s just important to remember that you’re not exactly dealing with DP commenters here.

Sure. But I agree with the following statement by Holly:
I think we’re just more prone to remember times when the umps screwed us
over times when the umps screwed our opponent. I doubt it’s all that far off from being a wash.
My defense of this is what got us here. It is certainly ok to call out bad calls. I just don’t think that the statements disagreeing with this were right.
by DumbAndNerdy on Aug 26, 2011 11:33 PM MDT up reply actions
I do completely agree with that statement of Holly's
I think that is the natural reaction of every fanbase.
But I also think certain teams get more calls than others, and the Rockies are not on the plus side of that. Look at the Glavine/Maddux/Smoltz Braves for an example of a team that was…

OTOH,
contending that incredibly bad calls in key situations by umpires don’t matter because they all even out eventually lets the umpires off for their bad decisions. Without their bad decisions, our bad decisions may or may not have been bad decisions.
I didn’t like leaving Esmil in as long as Tracy did. But it’s impossible to say whether or not that decision would have cost us anything if not for ****ing Bob Davidson’s usual “look at me” antics…

not a conspiracy just a bunch of
weird stuff where we tend to get screwed a bit. How many times do you remember thinking “ooh I think we caught a break there” how many things like Frankie Mo getting that no out call can you immediately bring to mind? when was the last time we had an opponent lose a HR to a bad call?
~ Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too ~
As Holly said,
this isn’t because it hasn’t happened. It’s because we don’t remember these things AND/OR we convince ourselves that the umps didn’t screw the other team.

I remember a few like I said Barmes
phantom catch, but when was the last time we had another team called for two balks in one inning that may not be conspiracy but it is a bit of umpires getting an attitude
~ Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too ~
There was a game earlier this year,
against the Nats I believe, where Balkin’ Bob benefitted us on a balk that wasn’t a balk this year. It was two in one inning, but it had the same overall effect. Do you remember that?

It didn't say he had a warning before
and he said that’s what it said the warning was for.
It wasn't.
It was part of that convo, but it wasn’t directly about his opinions of Alanna. The note he received was pretty clear.
And your other comment said he’s one warning from being banned. I was just clarifying that posters don’t automatically get banned on a 2nd warning. Sometimes people will receive multiple warnings. It’s just a case-by-case thing.
I've gotten like 3 or 4 warnings over the years

~ Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too ~
What are you talking about??? First of all, I'm not here to start a rage war. But you started it, you gotta back yourself up.
My warning was pretty clear. I said “I would rather be gay than go out with Alanna.” Or something to that effect. I don’t see how that is so bad. Second of all, you should be able to distribute sarcasm/joking apart from trolling or complete seriousness.
Ugh...you just reminded me of some unfinished business

I'm backing myself up. I did nothing wrong.
If I got a warning for that. I should’ve been banned the first night I joined, because if everyone remembers correctly, I was trolling pretty hard.
I think they were trying to give you the benefit of the doubt
and let the community police itself, as it were, and then, when you came out swinging again…you know what, never mind. I’m not explaining this. Saying “I’d rather be gay than [x]” is pretty hideously offensive, just FYI.
Not to be preachy, but your comment is a bit homophobic

Well, that was a great way to wreck a really good baseball game. Thanks, Bob!
1-0 in the 7th and the ump thinks he’ll just go ahead and hand the game to LA.
Combined with a team so fragile they can’t deal with a little adversity == game over.
The good: Jim Tracy finally got himself ejected over something worth getting ejected for. Should have happened on the first balk, and he should have taken long enough doing it that the rest of the team could settle down, though. Might have changed the outcome of the game.

Why the (expletive deleted) is ROOT talking about how good they feel about Matt Kemp having a 30 30 season, and talking to Miles!?

ROOT hates Rockies fans.
They like to rub it in every chance they get. This is why they use announcers who are more interested in talking about the nachos they’re eating than the ballgame taking place.

Tracy will recap the game, insinuate that there was a bad call without being overly specific so he doesn’t get fined, and generally make excuses. Really, what can he possibly say?

I'm still not sure why he got tossed.
He stepped out of the dugout and just did.
Then he still went out and had a chat more suited for Bridge night.
Then he went to the clubhouse to fix some cookies and warm milk.

I think the ump was trying to tell him not to come out
and Tracy ignored him. As far as I can tell, that’s why he got tossed.

At least after that he got an earfull (well as much of an earfull as Tracy can give a guy). “In reference to what we were just discussing over at third base, in my opinion what you and your crewmate did there was a very unfortunate call, which might have ruined a very special game”

It’s just never good for the sport when a game is decided on such a grey-area call as a questionable balk. Call it if it’s obvious. If it’s not obvious and there’s really no runner deception going on, let the dang players decide the outcome.

Some of you are pretty cool and actually have a sense of humor. Then the rest of you really need to grow up. Yeah, I’m 14, but I’m obviously more mature than you. You act as if I commit a felony for saying something so harmless. I did not mean to insult anyone by the “gay” comment, if I did I’m sorry. I was obviously joking, and you interpreted the wrong way. Most of you thought it primarily meant I was throwing a blow at being gay. But doesn’t society say its wrong to be gay? I never said that it was wrong. You interpreted it wrong. Saying that, I joined PurpleRow in hopes of just discussing my favorite baseball team, the Rockies, of course. But of course, you guys act like little kids when something sorta offensive is said. If you guys truly are adults, you would ignore the comment and move on.

Especially after he pitched 6 gorgeous innings with next to no run support.
To be fair, Tracy also said that
and that the way Rogers was throwing, he had very little doubt that Esmil could have gotten the third out if not for the balk call.
It’s really not fair to make it sound like Tracy threw Esmil under the bus tonight. At least after the game, although I think he kind of did by leaving him in too long…

Of course he did.
The question is whether flinching is a balk. He was in the middle of his wind-up and he continued toward the plate. After further review, I’m reversing my original ruling and saying that was not a balk.
/overtoyoubob

I always thought a balk was meant to keep pitchers from making "deliberately deceptive" movements.
Which was not what Esmil did.
At all.
That's the INTENT of the rule, as described in the rule comments, but that's not the rule itself, since deception is subjective
