What type of odds am I getting? I'm definitely climbing out on a limb for a guy who hasn't hit close to .300 and struggles against lefties.

I'm paraphrasing here:

JORR said age of consent is just an arbitrary number, and a 19 yr old guy shouldn't have his life ruined for having sex with a consensual 16 year old girl. It wasn't pedophilia is his book, as a girl that age is mature enough to make those decisions. Steve, being the cement head that he is, couldn't understand, so he labeled JORR a pederast.

That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I wasn't trying to fuck anyone who wasn't my age or older at 19 but JORR was right. I would feel differently if it were a 19 year old and a 14 year old.

Recognizing the obvious and indisputable fact that 18 is an arbitrary number does not mean that one wants to bang pre-teens. Does Steve ever have a decent thoughht?

How about this? $100 O/U .290. I have the under. If he hits it on the head it's a push.

If he plays 120 games and hits below .270 I pay you $100 and $10 for every .005 below .270. If he hits above .270 you pay me $100 and $10 for every .005 above .270. I think this is more than fair for a career .242 hitter.

I would like to revisit that Quintana wager once we know where he will be.

I think he can hit .270. You said he would hit close to .300. I was giving you .290.

But in the interest of sportsmanship, I will accept the bet as you offered it.

That's fine. I hope he goes somewhere with a high-powered offense. But it's really a no-win for me from an argument standpoint. I mean, we may make the bet and I win the money, but you still won't be convinced. You will think that he just pitched worse than he did with the Sox and that his W/L record is incidental rather than a real reflection of him as a player.

I wonder if there should be a separate thread comprised solely of accepted board bets for the sake of easily finding & verifying said bets. All that's in it is the acceptance of a bet, none of the negotiations leading up to it. Just quotes of or links to the agreement post(s). Keep everything clean and tidy. Perhaps only mods can post there.

He's been consistent and he has been improving his entire career. I doubt he takes a step back. IF he gets traded (anywhere except Colorado) and has at least 20 starts I have him 4 games above .500.

Because of posts he made about laws pertaining to sex with girls.....specifically girls around 14 years old if I remember correctly. "Behind a Kohls" or something like that, was the thread you can find it all in. Revealing reading. Apparently JORR finds it acceptable for grown men to have their way with girls under the age of consent. I found his attitude on the subject deplorable.

So now you not only back off my proposed bet (the right thing to do) but express agreement with my opinion that he will improve further in the coming year......not surprised.

I'm pretty sure it was a female teacher who had sex with a student "behind a Kohl's" . You can't even remember your own bullshit.

That wasn't at all the material I had the real objections to. It was your comments about grown men having sex with girls under the age of consent.

I refused your proposed bet because I consider you dishonorable, not because of the bet as proposed. And I have no idea if he will improve or not. But I certainly don't think him hitting .270 makes him special. Do you know how many guys in the history of the major leagues have hit .270?

I'm not going to get into this again with you. You lack the intellect to have a reasonable discussion about such a topic.

.270 with 35 (or more) homers and 100 RBI would be fine by me. The only problem might be getting 100 RBI if Maddon keeps him in the 2 spot in the order. But 35 HR and 100 runs scored works.

Probably best for you, as repeating your opinions can do nothing positive for your image. The idea that a girl of 14-15 can look older and have a great looking body that might be desired by an adult is easy to understand. But there is a reason that an age of consent was established and it was to keep older assholes from taking advantage of GIRLS who might be prone to being taken advantage of. That was my opinion then and always will be. You should definitely refrain from commenting, lest you expose yourself again as the letch and pedophile you are.

Damn. Steve hit a nerve with JORR. This is intense.

Doubtful
