Bull Bud Winkle...wrong. Bullwinkle J Moose! You are confusing me with my brother Budwinkle Moose, who is the King of Beers!

2,215 lbs....wrong. I am a svelte 2,200, the High Carb, High Fat diet is working. May I say that it is rude to discuss others weight issues!

No grad year...wrong. I am a grad of M.I.T. 1962. http://www.mooseinstituteoftoedancing.edu

How much are you guys paying for this misinformation?

Awaiting word from Bull Comish.....

Tried to tell him you were not injesting or shooting, using the patch....doesn't look good.

Bullwinkle,
Please don't forget your illustrious football career at Wossamatta U. I knew you attended MIT but I didn't realize you'd graduated.

this is just another case of the MOOSE trying to keep the baseball player down. txdad06 will be hiring counsel. representing txdad06 will be..... Boris and Natashia, txdad06 knows that has Bull-selig shaking in his antlers. TXDAD06 HAS BEEN SET UP!

When is moose season anyway?

I believe Boris got his degree from USC.

If you want to play with the team,
don't take the cream.

RHP,
You got it! Carb lite, lite or regular? How about those little coronitas they sell, so girlie!

Guinness!

If I'm not gonna play, throw me another beer down here in the clubhouse...please!

Orlando,
You may want to sub for me. Got to evacuate. Fire is getting a bit close to work.

TPM feeling very lightheaded.....

Justbb, there was an ample supply of beer in the cooler before you were ejected....guess I need to organize a refill (like that's a surprise) AND a designated driver. And I'll be coaching third next inning....primarily so I can sneak into the OC's dugout, hoist a Guiness with RHP (Guiness Is Good For You), and maybe sing a few songs of the rebellion. It's OK that we drink --- we're not on an Official Visit.

MCPdad06, I most certainly did not participate in the estrogen trick in an effort to sabotage you. I did it because I thought it was really, really funny!

Test away, Bull, I have faith in the ethics of my team (I have, of course, been wrong before). As for myself, I don't fear random drug testing as (even in the '60's) I've never taken random drugs. (What are random drugs, anyway? I forgot.)

And The Bob did a superb job on the mound for us (though the mental images of Dad04 stealing second and Bob pitching have had me shaking my head and mumbling 'oh my' to myself often enough to have passers-by question my sanity).

Big, however, in a tutu of any hue, constitutes an unfair advantage. (What? Pitchers can't use two-tone gloves but tutus are acceptable? It's official: the umps ARE blind!) Just look what it did to TR.....he was laughing so hard he grounded into a weak DP!

CADad, as long as you're on the field, you're safe. (Well, unless you fly or ground out.) Just promise us you won't wait for any evacuation assistance from the local government or FEMA.

As you can see, TPM, the techs at work cured my computer of its ills. They did, however, say that it was old and weak (which I thought was strangely appropriate as so am I), so they're building me a nice new one! (Yeah, techs! Guess I need to lighten up on the tech jokes at work....)

Getting tense here --- the Yanks-BoSox-Indians got nothing on us!

Orange Crush 7th –
URKMB: 2-6 struck out swinging.

Bob -- URKillingMe! Here I was, 1 and 2; with the umpire (who chose this loser, anyway) calling a strike zone the size of a twinkie wrapper... I had no choice but to swing, even though your pitch almost gave me a much-needed shave. Anyway, my knees hurt and I don't want to take it any more!!!!!!

.....mmmmm the bad call might just have been in reaction to your name. You know how touchy umps can be....

URKMB,
Stressful, stressful day.....go relax!

I think we need a new person to roll the dice--I have now made out two consecutive at bats including a "weak" DP.

I must take responsibility for the DP. I just didn't get a good jump. I tried to take them out but I was much too late. I hate it when the infielder is fair game I mess up. TRHit, please accept my apology.

Way to go Os!!!!!!!!!!

sotto voce: Hey, TR, your grounder couldn't have been 'weak' if they turned a DP the way Coach has been running the bases (and heaven knows nobody is more shocked than he about THAT). I was simply overstating the case in an effort to get Big to swap the tutu for, shall we say, more professional attire.

I was about to type "to get Big out of that tutu" but the implications there were too terrible to contimplate

O,

TR's grounder was weakly hit. I charged the ball - flipped it behind my back (while smoking a cigar mind you) to CentralIL at 2nd - and despite the attempted cleating by CoachB25 - CentralIL made a beauty of a throw.

Whatta play!

Orlando,
Didn't wait. We got out when the evacuation was voluntary. Fire is nowhere close today, but the air quality even in the building is not too good. My 14u team has a scrimmage scheduled this afternoon much further from the fires and unless a breeze comes up we'll probably have to cancel due to poor air quality.

Scary stuff, CA. Is your situation in danger with any wind shift? The boys don't need to be deep-breathing smoke; the wind could be your friend or enemy with a fire.

Keep us posted; you're in our thoughts.

TR don't blame others for your lack of skill, take personal responsibility for your own AB's.

(BTW: it was a slow grounder to ss, TR had a small hissy fit and only jogged to 1b.)

Here's a PM I just got:

Dear Commish,
TPM has fainted in cyberspace, fell over the cat and landed on her you know what. The pressures of managing, arguing with umpires, player testing positive for HRT, forseeing possible extra innings, PAMom playing while not actually being there, AK not realizing what team he is on, seeing Big in an orange tutu, made my head spin and Spine Doc has ordered TPM to miss the next scheduled inning. I am a$$igning, with your permission, RHP (she knows all of the rules) to cover as manager, mentor and hooty mama until my return. Guiness left in the clubhouse.
Please advise, if anyone is concerned or interested to send flowers and well wishes via pm. Please post this 'BULL'etin for my players and the fans.

Toady's (9-30-05) 8th inning is put off until Monday (10-3-05).....

Please overload TMP with PM's and Love.

Personally - I think the Main Moose does an absolutely great job of throwing the dice.

In fact - I am going to have to up the bribe (oops - I meant show of gratitude) - to three boxes of Cohibas - an online version of Columbus Avenue hotspots - and a Platinum American Express card.

This thread is completely against HSBB Rules!!!!! I wish to file a formal complaint!!!!

RULE: Posters will be expected to maintain basic courtesy toward the opinions of others. Please avoid flame wars or anything you KNOW will cause others to flame (aka "flame bait").

There seems to be a lot of “flame bait” going on here!

RULE: We expect members to agree or disagree in a civil manner. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Seems to be uncivil to me and with a ton of personal attacks?

RULE: Under no circumstances will any graphics or links to sexual/ pornographic, racially offensive or any other offensive material be permitted.

Let’s see…. Suggestions of Bighit removing his clothing surely has to be considered offensive, if not pornographic! I have seen the graphics and do rate it "explicit"!

RULE: If you have nothing constructive to provide on a forum (determined by any of the Board Administrators) your posts can be removed without warning. If you continue to make posts that offend any person or group, you may be banned. Further abuses or violation of these terms and conditions will result in an "abuse report" being filed with the offending parties ISP.

RULE: High School Baseball Web is intended to be an "Idea and Information" exchange, help keep it that way.

OK what is constructive about this game????

For Christ Sake, we have an imaginary game going on…
played with imaginary dice…
Run by an imaginary MOOSE!
We have players smoking cigars and drinking beer in the imaginary club house!
We have people pissin and moanin about imaginary outs they have made!
We have people writing imaginary scouting reports (wait that’s me)
People are complaining about the amount of imaginary playing time the are getting!
And now, people are even coming up with imaginary descriptions of the imaginary plays!
Wow!!! What happened to us????

What ever happened to the good old days, when everyone argued about hitting technique and pitching gurus?

I especially enjoyed those threads when parents would be scolded for raising their kids the wrong way!

And I ask… what does this imaginary, childish, dice throwing by a MOOSE, game... have to do with recruiting, let alone high school baseball???? It speaks volumes about the immaturity of all those involved!!!!

Hey… When’s the next inning start?

Orlando,
The kids won't be near any fire areas. The ones coming from out of town will be heading away from the fire areas to play. The only potential problem is smoke. It really wasn't too bad yesterday but now that the winds have died down it has just stagnated over us. The expected breezes would push the smoke away from us toward the fire areas. We'll wait until afternoon, still a few hours away to see how the air quality is. So far we've only had one player cancel out due to air quality. Of course he's going to be helping them move their business (not because of the fire) right under the smoke clouds. Go figure.

PG,
Agree about the immaturity part, especially as it applies to me. I only wish I looked my maturity.

Whoa, this IS embarassing.

PG, for any number of reasons, you weren't told that we actually are together right now, utilizing a field in Jupiter, FL for this game. The whole Bull & Dice thing was just a clever ruse. It's one of the many optional activities at the Third Annual Hsbaseballweb Convention (perhaps you remember the thread not so long ago about where we would meet next?).

Heaven knows I argued in favor of inviting you, if for no other reason than I was hoping for a PG sponsorship to offset our, um, refreshments bill, but I was, alas, outvoted.

And if you think the game thread is flaming abusive, you should see what's actually going on out here!

Yeah, Orlando, I'm spending way too much time out in this sun! Fair complexion you know! TR probably needs a litte shade too with some sweet tea! I'll get an awning put up right away for those chairs.

Orlando,

AhHah!!!

I knew something didn't add up!

I'll just "pretend" that I was invited and "imagine" I'm watching the game.

By the way, at the rate this MOOSE moves, I might be in Jupiter before the game ends. We will be there in late October.

I thought we decided to hold that convention in IOWA. It aint Heaven... It's IOWA! Anyway, that explains why nobody showed up except me. Had a great time talking to myself about all the crazy people from the HSBBW!

PG,



Orlando,

My broken fingernail has now healed sufficiently for me to once again participate in the primary activity, so please pass me a cold one. (But don't ask me to put on that smelly glove and go back out on that dirty field, okay? This is a new outfit, in case you hadn't noticed.)

We have to pay for refreshments! Losers pay right?

IT'S THE OFF SEASON! Major case of baseball withdrawals! .... pass another cold one please!

Whew, what a day.

Actually TPM is feeling much better now that Spine Doc did a few adjustments.
Seems that the Commish had an unusually busy day himself and would not be able to take care of rollin' the dice.
Between congressional hearings regarding the recent positive testing of Tx (cream used instead of patch), possible sexual misconduct (fans having crushes on managers, coaches and comments about their backsides), IX issues (is there an even ratio girlies to guys per team), pitcher in an orange tutu and the accusation of not even using a pair of dice, he's had his hands full. TPM decided the last thing he needed was an absent manager. Besides, reports came back that RHP had put away quite a few and forgot the rules and guidelines, so I had to come back asap.

Now it seems, there are accusations from the national scouting director that rules are being broken. After having a tough day trying to convince a certain individual that there are just as many All Star pitchers today than as back in the stone age Orlando really let the cat out of the bag that while he was busy up there in Iowa waiting for everyone to come, we're down here in Jupiter soaking up the sun and South Beach (Orlando, I was atually out shopping on Worth Avenue in West Palm). Now he is beside himself because all of those scouts, college coaches, cross checkers etc don't know a thing about baseball and most of the minor or major league pitchers may have been drafted by MISTAKE. Oye, he's got his hands full today.

Orlando,
How was your day? Please take extra care of MN-Mom, besides breaking a nail she has to putup with trolls and fires!
Enjoy!

Since it's 'fess up' time, let me just say that I've been very busy today with JR (and I don't mean the tv show Dallas). His big question to me, BEFORE he took his oath of office was..... (and I quote), 'So tell me, what IS the difference between rotational versus linear, and why should I care??? Of course, I asked for the appropriate sub-committee to harrumph appropriately, but who knows -- I might have missed a stone or two... Any other thoughts that we might need to consider???

Hey TPM

I think it would be fitting for you to remind your team members to support one of your strongest hitters as she "scoreboard watches" from the vineyards....

How about a big shout out to PAMOM:
GO CLEVELAND

Tell her that Chillygal can muster one last cheer for Aaron Boone.....it worked before
and as soon as Lafmom and I feel adequatly "chilled" we will make her a playoff sign to take to Fenway on Monday.

You, on the other hand, better be thinking about changing pitchers again since this delay is more than any good thrower can overcome.

On my way to Boston...
From edgy to euphoric......

Attempted Cleating??? Nah, I was trying to see if I'd polished my shoes before the game. CentralIL, does have some "hops" and proved it by going airborne to make that throw. Sometimes, you have to give credit where credit's due. ITSINTHEGAME AND CENTRALIL, BOY YOU TWO CAN TURN IT!

Chill.
PAMom is lucky there has been a delay (so is the entire team). Big will be ok, has been ordered to remove ORANGE tutu. He gets n more inning before the closer appears (depending of course on the roll of the dice).
Team, have a great day, relax a bit, get mentally prepared for Monday.
