Some of the conflict arises when a certain type lies in wait and jumps on something, distorts it, and ignores qualifiers the original poster introduced in the first place to define context.

The original comment is essentially ignored and becomes a stage for an arrogant display that deliberately missed the point.

so what’s up with mauer ?

i thought he was going to sign with the twins.

i just had problem with you trying to throw someone under the bus that i thought was totally uncalled for.

now as far as mauer possible having back problems that will affect his career.

that’s gotta make a team like the twins think twice if mauer does indeed have back problems .

i didn’t know that his recent problems might be chronic.

Didn’t call him one. As I said, I’m casting no aspersions. Blake’s one of the good ones. Never thought otherwise.

As I read it, Blake and I were discussing Mauer and his potential, albeit unlikely, free agency. Somehow it turned into an ESPN thing. Like Blake, I’m done with it.

Y’s Guy, you have the right to state your opinions, but this one comes off as lecturing, so you should expect a negative reaction.
