Don't worry infidel 08 I took it...
Thanks for taking the baton, EH. I'll be heading home now to shower. Next time we need to schedule the race outside of the asylum walls.
It's funny how baseball weeds them out. Each level up becomes more pleasant. Where did they all go? I muse, only to be reminded on HSBBW.

I did that on purpose to get the TG of my Shoe??
You want to talk baseball.
Then quit talking about Stats.
Plus there's a reason I stand a foot back??
You wouldn't know about that would you?

Are we at 3rd grade recess? I thought this was the HSBBW.
It's why I'm deleting my posts. I don't want to get dragged down to a third grade level. If these guys want to continue to generate rude posts about me, let it shine on them. I'm not going to participate. I came to hsbaseballweb to get away from this kind of **** that happens on most boards.quote:Originally posted by emeraldvlly:

Who's up for shoot the moon or hopscotch. We could of double dutched but I forgot the rope.
Ever heard of an org chart? Businesses run on information and analysis. MLB teams operate on information and analysis. Ever heard of Bill James?quote:Originally posted by theEH:

Now can we get off the rude cheap shots and get back to baseball?
Evidently the post office does have organizational charts. And smack. Drug testing just ain't what it used to be.
Oh, for heavens sake, can't we all just get along!
Everyone here has something to say.
We don't have to agree - what is the big deal?
We are not right or wrong - we just have different opinions and perspectives - let it go if it bothers you, Geez if you really want to conquer the world, play RISK , or Join the our Armed Forces. REALLy!!

TG,
If its something that I said or done.
Tell me what and I'll apoligize.
But if you don't
I really can't go on,
Holding back these tears in my eyes.
Tell me Why.
Come on TG.
You've been Punked.
Have I not welcomed you.

Can't We All Just Get Along? 
This is quite a thread, isn't it?
Lots of great advice, especially starting with Orlando's post about 1/3 of the way down this page:

TG,
I don't mean to call you out personally, but I have to repeat some of the very insightful advice from that page:
"Just chill a little"
I believe you that your style may come off a lot better in person...written words can easily be misinterpreted.
.
But here is some advice to all newcomers:
.
If you have read our forums a bit and think that this site seems more cordial than some other forums you have visited...
...and then you jump into the pool and feel like several sharks have attacked you...
...while other newcomers seem to be getting along just "swimmingly"...
(bad pun, I know)
...please take a look at your own posts and see if maybe you
(a) came on too strong, or
(b) took offense quickly, or
(c) picked a fight - at least a little bit - with a member who has already become good friends with a lot of other members.
Then try to imagine making those same moves at a dinner party at the home of one of those members. Walk into the dinner party during cocktail hour, and introduce yourself to a bunch of people who seem to already have known each other for years. Quickly share a few strong opinions in a strong voice, and maybe a joke that comes out wrong. If someone comments in a disapproving way, let 'em have it! Surely all the other people at the dinner party will see that YOU are correct, and rush to your defense!
The above description is not meant as reproach to any single member, but I think a lot of the Old Timers at this site can confirm (and have said before) that this is how it sounds, or looks, or feels, when a newcomer "gets into it" with longer-term members.
Old-Timers (including me) aren't perfect. But Old Timers built this house, they take care of this house, they own this house. Newcomers, c'mon in! You are welcome visitors in our house, and hopefully after a while, it will become your house, too.
Now, back to baseball:
I love that photo, gotwood! It brings back old, old memories!

Mn-Mom,
Thanks for the perspective. Using a baseball analogy.. perhaps the old-timers have home field advantage, but nonetheless we should afford the newcomers with unbiased umpires. I extend my hand in friendship to TG in the hopes he can see these few high-and-tight fastballs early on has only been a lesson in respect for the game. And TG, maybe we can now finally move on. Consider the wise move and accept our friendship and "keep it between the lines".
