Ivy, I think you're justified.  This team sucks, yet we continue to be fans.  Its our given right to bitch about them incessantly.  It does not bother me one bit.  It shouldn't bother anybody.  Now, if Ivy decides to don other colors because of the current situations/ complaints, that's another story.  But I feel Ivy has every right to bitch and moan everyday he wants to.  Squeaky wheel gets the grease.  In Ivy's case, in his butthole for Clark to guide it home.  Zing.

I have no problem with bitching. The place would be boring if everyone had the same opinion. I get crucified (and will get crucified) when I inevitably defend the past, current and future Cubs managers as being smarter than a troglodyte with a spike in his head. Talk radio and the internet were built on the certainty that the current manager doesn't know what he is doing. I'm not a popular guy when I argue the opposite.

 

However, if Ivy is going to speak his mind, he (as anyone on a public message board) should be prepared to have someone challenge his statements. I'm consistently astounded, more so on Facebook when it comes to political posts than on here, when people get upset when they post a provocative comment then have someone post comments disagreeing with them. Why in the world are you posting them if you don't expect someone to comment on them?

 

And if you are in the minority, and most people disagree with you, tough shit. I don't agree with 95 percent of what Ivy posts, but I'd love to go out and get a beer with him as soon as the season rolls around. Tom and I have had some brutal disagreements over the last 10 years, but I love him like a brother, and if he ever needed anything, I'd do what I could for him. Point is, disagree all you want. That's why the board exists. However, calling Ricketts cheap while we are discussing the latest episode of the Walking Dead eventually wears thin.

That made me cry a little.
