A moderators work is never done

the Yankess.
the Mets.

And anyone says I'm again, them.

Now - I go to his games - and when he strikes out with 2 men in scoring position - I get offended when 10,000 people chant that he sucks.

I have to tell you, when my son was assigned to play in New York this year, I had some trepidation. My experiences comes from being around very wealthy/in-your-face Yankee fans who attend Indians games and they hold no qualms about loudly/rudely demeaning your guy (or their own guy) if they see fit. My son played about an hour north of NY City and the fans couldn't have treated him better. They were GREAT fans and I am eternally grateful for that.

Simply put - Yankees blow chunk - and Mets rule.

Forever.

Long live Shamsky!

Coach May,

I understand why it was removed.Other people who had not even read it were making comments.I have no problem with RZ.We were just debating and moderators removed it.Isnt the first time , wont be the last.

Yeah I have read those boards.But in the last few days the tone changed when my sons team mate was put on life support and prognosis was to not make it.Thank God he has pulled through.Hope soon to be able to return to his friends.

USC baseball has had its problems no doubt.But its not just the baseball we love its the school itself.

And fact remains no matter they still have won more national baseball championships than any other college program.

fanofgame,

All I can say is you are lucky that the NY Mets do not play college baseball - because if they did - they would have ruled.

fanofgame if you keep talking up your sons school like that I am going to have to rz1 you. And believe me you dont want that! lol

Good luck this season fanofgame and I hope your son has the time of his life.

Hey !- dont pick on my Mets!!! We got Bay now so na-nananana! I hope Mr. Bay can pitch!

Fan,
I think your quote in all caps is not exactly was rz said, but I will let him address that.
You still sound ticked off, and I guess you are entitled if you took it so personal. You can't just turn off your feelings if it hurt you or your child (young man).

I guess this all hinges on what anyones definition of "spoiled" is.
Some parents are very happy to "spoil" their children, it is how they choose to parent. They have the ways and means to do so and it their own personal choice. It does not mean that those "children" are somehow bad, undesirable, or icky in anyway.

If you spend much time in and around LA you will encounter the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor, not unlike most cities of that size.

So, just for kicks, maybe I am a parent that revels in that acronym and is proud of it, should I take offense to you by you being offended?

I don't think you are a whimp, and you didn't ask for the thread to be closed, just like the rest of us.
We want to make our points and give our opinions and discuss, or hash it out as you stated. By the thread being removed , in my mind was saying that somehow if we took the acronym more tongue in cheek, (because we are very familiar with it, in my case, for over 30 years) that we needed to be silenced, removed, erased.

And yes there are spoiled children at USC, yes, they are there, just like most campuses around the country.

LOL.I really have nothing more to say about the matter.Good luck to your son as well.They are always good.

This is what awaits you all in 2010. So - beware!!!

I just want you all to know that I am very, very...

VERY ticked off...

and OFFENDED...

that Burt Blyleven came up 5 votes short of the Hall of Fame!!!

But please don't take it personally.
