    I think we should complain more about Pearl Jam fans and less about the band.
    The fans on this board are seriously 35-50% feckless c&*%s. 
    They complain about everything.....everything.
    Wish they would go away.  Happy to go and see Pearl Jam in smaller venues and have just as much fun.
    This. 

    They're in their mid 50's and have been a band for almost 30 years. Some people just have incredibly irrational expectations of them at this point. 
    my expectations are as follows...

    care about your fans to not cancel shows 24 hours prior to the event
    make albums
    make songs that don't suck
    don't play stadium shows incessantly - where fan club tix result in people relying on video screens because even good seats are a mile from the stage
    don't pimp merch consistently
    don't release official circle jerk DVDs promoting specific baseball teams

    some bands don't meet these simple requirements.  I prefer to go see bands such as sturgill simpson, mmj, deer tick, chris robinson brotherhood, war on drugs, dr dog, low cut connie, st paul and broken bones, LCD Soundsystem, Widespread Panic, Nathaniel Rateliff,  j roddy walston & the business, dawes, wilco, etc.  No need to pay for shit that expired a decade ago

    have fun in boston for those of you going.  make sure you get drunk early because that city closes down early AF.

    Ok time we got rid of kapler!  Does not know how to manage.  If we had someone that could manage this team properly we’d be at least 10 over where we are now.

    one run! Heard they lead the majors with 61 games scoring 3 or less.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    but they walk and see a lot of pitches. :confused:  so much for a walk is good as a hit theory that some still hold to.

    and how did so many teams pass on waivers on Daniel Murphy and let the Cubs get him? guy seems like a dick but he can hit.

    what are peoples feelings on letting fielders and even pitchers have scouting cards on their person in the field?  the purist in me doesn't think it's right.  I really don't like pitchers having them.  Joe West was probably correct on that one even if the rules allow it.

    Walks are good if you have players that can make good contact after them.

    Shouldn't be able to have anything but your uniform on in the field. Any kind of substance could be on those cards.

    Yeah. Think about how good all these walks will be if they have Machado or Harper in the middle of the order to knock them in.

    This team's not complete yet, fellas.

    Nola pitching against the Mets should be a win if the offense can do something.  Need to win this series.

    i'm not sure there has been a worst combined offensive  and defensive team only 2.5 games back this late in the season.

    and this team was better when they played more of the home grown players. why the hell is Bautista playing as much as he does?
