Good Place to be

I am there with you but holding up the southern state of Florida. 4 games in 2 days between three sons. Saw one of my guys hit 2 homers in 2 games going 5 for 9 on the weekend, all good at bats. Glad you are having a great time in New England...sounds like a Barry Manilow song...

A little paranoid TR?

Laugh 'at you in the Northeast?' Nah.

TR -

I'd be worried about the Celtics, but not the Bruins.

The best part about baseball is the cream has enough time to rise to the top in 162 games. Nothing like a 4 game home series against the O's to cure the ills.

Many laugh at us in the Northeast

Long winters, bad weather, high taxes, congested traffic, toll roads everywhere, Sen Dodd, Barney Frank...

What's not to envy?

Justbaseball

Never been paranoid in my 67 years on earth---have you ever been paranoid---I think you might be, have been and will be again

DBG

Do your homework---no toll roads on CT--very few in NY and MA---

Mass Pike, Callaway & Williams tunnels leaving Logan airport, NY State Thruway, every bridge & tunnel into, out of, even through NYC, NJ Turnpike, Garden State Thruway, PA turnpike, Maine Turnpike, I-93 in NH. I can't name any toll roads in RI. CT has no toll roads, but CT has some of the highest gasoline taxes in US to replace the tolls they used to collect on I-95.

I would still rather be here---the colors in the fall---the nice snows--- the great springs---AND THE GREAT PEOPLE WHO ARE WHAT THEY ARE___THEY ARE REAL

AND THE GREAT PEOPLE WHO ARE WHAT THEY ARE___THEY ARE REAL

What are you saying TR?

What, I'm not REAL.
I'm just a Figment here in Cyber space.
I thought I was Somebody.
I guess I'm just a Nobody.

Now you just Hurt my Feeling's.

Well I hope your Happy their in the NE.

I guess I'll just go sit by the Pool and watch the Sun set.
Drinking my favorite drink and washing my tears away.

Just Nobody in Northern Cali.

You guys in California have to undertstand what happens in the Northeast---like,it or not there are differences --you guys are not as superior as you think you are

Now Who's Paranoid. lol



Trust me I'm far from being Superior to anybody.
I'll be lucky to still be living here in the next few month's.
In fact whats the Jobs look like back in the NE
I need to get REAL.
And Soon??

Wow! Talk about paranoia.

I can honestly say I don't spend one minute of one day thinking about my opinion of people in the NE...nor do I have any need to re-evaluate our certain superiority out here on the West Coast!

KIDS TODAY THROW TOO MUCH!

Justbaseball

You have the paranoia not me pal=--- and I really like how you take my signature and change it

Have a nice summer

What is your problem?"

Must be a quiet weekend on the baseball scene, hope you'all have a nice weekend.

TR - I will debate you in earnest on your signature line.

You run travel teams. You run showcases. You post on here more than any other poster (in history?). Because of that fact, some people will listen to you...so I suggest you be careful what you say and how you say it.

A simple statement (shouted with caps), "THE KIDS TODAY DO NOT THROW ENOUGH !!!!!"...without further explanation is bad advice IMO. Travel teams/HS's/LL's OVERUSE pitchers. That is not an accusation towards you...I really don't know. But it is true when it comes to many others.

Stated as simply as you did, ALL IN CAPS, with every post and without further explanation...is not good advice.

Have a good summer yourself!

Do you understand the difference between throwing too much and pitching too much? I'm in agreement with TR. Kids don't throw enough. Throwing develops arm strength. Throwing a lot used to develop arm strength where MLB pitchers pitched 275-325 innings per season and not hurt their arms. To be called a seven inning pitcher was an insult to the pitcher.

My son throws a lot for ten months of the year. He's about to turn sixteen. He's never had a day with as much as a stiff arm. What my son does not do is pitch too much.

If I were betting, I would bet justbb knows the difference. He has a son pitching in Milb who has never had arm trouble to my knowledge.
Has a high school sophomore pitching on a nationally ranked team...doing fine thank you.
I think he "understands."

Uh...yeah.

East Coast Versus West Coast,
Now we got a Knockdown Dragout.

Ok everybody pick side's??

Classic.

Doggone it.

I think everybody on the East Coast went to bed.
Oh well it was Fun while it lasted.

EH

I just want to know what tunnels and toll roads are?

Do you know what you get when you cross a Train Tunnel with a Toll Road???

Give Up.

hehe

A TROLL ROAD.


EH

I bet they don't have one of these in the NE?

I can't keep track of who everyone's kid is. His response was either playing dumb or lending itself to not knowing. My response was because he referenced pitching too much when I knew TR was talking about throwing, not pitching.

RJM,
I will give you a simple technique for telling who knows the difference between pitching and throwing. If they have less than 5 posts and ask what the difference is, then they need a post explaining the difference.

Everyone else knows the difference.

So far, so good. Hopefully, he is an exception to the rule. From what I've seen, most 15 and under have not had an arm / shoulder issue. Most 20 year olds have had arm issues at some point.

EH - there is no doubt you are one of my favorite contributors here on the hsbbweb! I am just a nobody here in Ohio who commiserates with you

This land is your land,
This land is my land,
From California
To the New York Island,
From the redwood forest,
To the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.


What a great place we get to live!

Sometimes you amaze me---I post about how great it was with all the games and sport coverage and you turn it into TRHIT knows nothing by attacking my signature

By the way do you know the difference between throwing and pitching---we used to throw(play catch) everyday


Have a great day---by the way we have the same coverage again today and all week as the hockey playoffs go on

Why thanks! Coming from you that means a lot. I'll strive for more.

Enjoy it. I'll try and find somethin' on the tube out here in the wild west if I can. If not, there's always the 85 deg., sunshine and a baseball game somewhere...oh, the monotony of it all!

I don't know about anyone else, but here in the southeast we got the same yankee game. We also got the Marlins game, Tampa game, hockey, nascar, NBA,college baseball, spring football, golf, fishing, poker, etc, etc. That was just what was on TV.
If you ae lucky you can in person hit a hockey game, baseball and basketball game all in the same day. You can even hit up on a college baseball game or basketball game at the same school, same day.
Perhaps you might not be in the sports mood, so yesterday there was the annual Delray Fest that draws thousands, art, food, fun. We live a boring life here in the southeast.

We pay tolls for some roads, 6% sales tax and no state income tax, this is a good place to be too.

We don't make fun of anyone who lives in the NE, unless they are snowbirds.

However, like spiz, we must be missing out, no tunnels here either.

My dad grew up with Laurel and Hardy... I swear this is just as good.

Wow. I thought Candians were provincial.

I look at this way: Thank God not everyone wants to live where I do. The cost of housing would be unaffordable, commuting would be horrendous and there would never be enough ball fields.

You know my cousin ????


Trojan Skipper

I grew up Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, The Ritz Borthers and the Marx Brothers and Farmer Grey Cartoons

Farmer Grey? I'll have to google that one!!!

Oh, I forgot, if all else fails and we get bored, there is always the beach.

I don't really get this, where one lives is the best place to be, and I don't ever remember anyone here laughing about where one resides.
