Nationals @ Braves, Game 2

[NatsDad14]

I bet that Morgan starts again tomorrow. Riggleman will cite his 2 singles while ignoring his defense that continually destroys this team.

[cmdterps44]

You're an jerk.

Please note the difference between "your" and "you're".

I was already called out on this sir. You jerk.

[Lintyfresh85]

It wasn't an easy play... but it was something I thought he could have caught.

[tomterp]

freak! I was talking about your "an jerk"

Even after spider calls you out, you're still clueless.

Silly Hat with solid work.

I was kidding there. I was jokingly referring to his "an jerk". Like "an jerk" was something he possessed.

Yeah, but you again used "your" when you should have used "you're".

You're is the contraction for "you are".  Whenever "you are" works in the sentence, using "your" is wrong.

You still don't get it...

[Lintyfresh85]

Dibble, you can't possibly throw a fastball every single pitch.

Come on, man.

[PatsNats28]

I think he thinks offspeed pitches should be forbidden in baseball.

[Lintyfresh85]

"I like my balls, I take care of them."

- Rob Dibble

[PatsNats28]

I missed the earlier conversation. I just heard "I like my balls. I take care of them"

explanation please?

[tomterp]

You still don't get it...

What don't I get?

[cmdterps44]

You still don't get it...

This.



Did Dibble say "I take care of my balls"?

[NatsDad14]

Dibble, you can't possibly throw a fastball every single pitch.

Come on, man.

Dibble has never met a fastball he didn't like. I bet if the Nats had Tim Wakefield, he would complain that he didn't throw enough fastballs.

[Lintyfresh85]

This.



Did Dibble say "I take care of my balls"?

Yes, yes he did!   

[PANatsFan]

Puerto Rico is not far from Venezuela.

Eagleskins?

[cmdterps44]

What don't I get?

I know you are is you're. I messed up the first time.

The second time I used your the correct way. I was referring that spidernat had possession of something named "an jerk"...

[spidernat]

What don't I get?

CMD tried to clean up his gaffe by saying he meant it in the "your jerk stinks" sense but inadvertently added the article in front of it.

[cmdterps44]

Yes, yes he did!   

I was flipping channels. Right when I came back I heard that gem. I rewound it twice but my DVR didn't start recording until after that delivery. What was he talking about?

[PatsNats28]

What don't I get?

He was making a joke to cover up his mistake by treating "an jerk" as a noun. In that context, it would be seen as your "an jerk", similar to your room. Get it?

I do a similar thing in the following exchange which I have:

"How are you?"
"I'm doing good"
"You're doing well, not good"
"No, I am doing good. I was using good as a substantive adjective, as in I am doing good things."
