Sorry to say not all of us have cell phones. I had one for about 2 weeks and could not figure out how to use it. It is a nightmare for us old guys to figure out and now with tomorrows game being on Apple TV I will not get to see the Yankees game either. I missed all the games in Arizona because of my close proximity to their park also. Oh well I'll get over it, I just needed to vent a little bit! Go Sox!
Seriously?? Cell phones are incredibly easy. Why don't you have your son set you up with a basic phone that allows you to easily stay in touch with family or friends when you might really need them? All you have to do is turn it on, set up a simple contacts list which will always have their name and number. To call them you just hit the call or text icon...then you either hit end or send if you are texting. Don't be intimidated by technology, embrace it!! You can also use the calendar feature that allows you to enter doctor appointments, or other planned events into the future. Its not a nightmare for me, and I'm one of the "old guys".
My point to pdoidoi was that he has recently found a penchant to post Red Sox stats post game, and often including those of their competitors. You'd think it was breaking news. As for me, 99% of the time I just ask my cell phone for "Red Sox score", in a millisecond I have the score and box score, and if I want I can "watch" the game as it progresses batter by batter. I can easily do this while watching a movie, playing poker, whatever. But, maybe he feels the need to post as he does.
I have a flip phone to use when I go out but that does not have the features of a cell phone. I tried a cell phone but my mind is not what it used to be as I have aged quickly since I turned 85 and just dont have the capabilities I had at even 80 years old.
You really love to stir every one up but not in the right way. Sorry to upset you.
You do realize we all have cell phones, or actually watch the game. Its not like you're making a big announcement here.
If I had a dollar for every time someone posted something on here that me wonder more because they gave almost no info.
Also I get most all of my sports info on here.
EXAMPLE - Red Sox yankees great game.
At least put a score and maybe a little more info.

You do know you don't have to read my post if you don't like it.
There are some post that I have no interest and I just choose to ignore or I may read but choose not to comment.
I'm not on here to cause disruption and piss others off.

You shouldn't be so sensitive. I assure you, you didn't upset me...if you read my post correctly (which obviously you didn't), you'd see that I commented about your posts being irrelevant as they are mostly ancient history. If you wanna be the Hall Monitor, just do your thing and get a thicker skin. If you get all your sports info here, when it is so readily available almost instantly, you must not be aware of much going on in sports. I don't need to add much to my posts, but thanks for the instructional comment to add "maybe a little more info". I'm happy to stir things up a bit...that you think "but not in the right way" clearly indicates a rather myopic viewpoint.
As for the Red Sox, I've been a fan since forever...however, I don't have a herd mentality, when they play well I generally comment, I also comment when they play poorly. Odd how you missed the positive posts, but chose to post about what you didn't like about my writing...its called having an opinion and perhaps countering the thought. Not about having a negative opinion of someone because they tweaked you a bit.
I'll certainly look forward to your ongoing wealth of information that you will continue to share with us after the games are over...as though we already didn't have the info.
