My mom took one of our dogs to a farm when I was a kid...a real nice family...he had a lot of room to run around...plenty of other animals to play with...and some kids...you know...uhhh...you mean...OH NO!!! Eek

So sorry to hear about your family pet, PD. That is tough no matter what the age of Panther Son, Panther Dad and family. My condolences to your family.

Not holding my breath...

Started to say something, but instead I'll just say "bless his heart" and make PD happy.


Excellent post, PD.

FO, guess I wasn't watching the grill close enough. This KG brand mutton is roasted to a crisp...

Now I didn't say anything about not provoking controversy. Big Grin

After reading your post, I certainly can understand your point of view.

I'll tell you what I'll do folks. I will stay out of your threads that I deem as BS. I will keep negitive comments in regards non-experience related opinions to myself.

Heck, better yet, I'll just disappear and save you all the punishment.

Good Bye,



Until I feel like stirring it up again regards,

Big Grin

Ken - please clarify your intent with the Roll Call thread if it wasn't to provoke controversy. Also, what would you suggest we discuss on a baseball message board but baseball news? With your baseball knowledge, why not begin a discussion that might benefit HS players and their parents? I challenge you to open a topic -- on any subject -- that can include intelligent conversation without demeaning the participants. Since you support the idea that many of the topics here are garbage --- why not start one that you deem worthy?

I don't feel guilty of discussing any of the three topics you list here.....because....it's just a message board! If you see no benefit, then please point out the harm. It's a community that you choose to participate in --- for what purpose, I'm not quite sure.

I'd rather see you contribute out of the depth of your experience than hang out simply to make others feel stupid, intentionally or otherwise. Most people with any degree of sensitivity know when their views offend ---- and it seems obvious that being offensive is your goal. I'm ok with that -- I don't go overboard in trying to uncover identities here, but I do ok in recognizing motive. Your identity isn't hidden....and your motives seem relatively clear.

On the other side of the coin, I'm thankful for the multitude of personality here. Smile


IMHO,this pertains to JAFO at times!


You know .....I was thinking the exact same thing.

If I may...I would like to add my own 'context' here. BTW - Losing a pet is a horrible thing - sorry PD! I'm certainly not qualified to contribute to this forum since my oldest one is only in 7th grade and I never played ball past high school. But if you ask my 5th grader, he'll tell you he's qualified...he's ready for HS ball now. Really, just ask him! All the conjecturing that goes on within this forum makes me laugh though...most notably from those that like to thump their chests (i.e. KG) and throw stones.

In a nut shell....it's quite entertaining to view the various posts and see who's bashing who? (Collikar, is that grammatically corect, or should I have used whom?) I wish I was more qualified to contribute...I have so much in my little pea brain that wants to come out.

What did this thread start out as....oh, yeah..."it's slow around here". How can anyone say it's slow when we all seem to find time to visit and banter about a bit with the likes of train and KG? (Okay, well maybe not train any longer...) Can we all not just get along and sling a little 'bs' here and there without getting our panties in a wad? (ladies, please forgive me for that one - besides, men typically have that happen more than women...figuratively speaking anyway.)

Anxiously awaiting tomorrow's visit to see what's on HS Baseball Web! I love this stuff. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face each and every day - don't quit doing what you're doing!
A random epiphany: What would HS Baseball Web be without all of the smiley-faces?

Think about it: We would never know what to believe, or when humor was being used. (That could be quite ugly for any of us, especially Train or KG)
Perhaps the decline of the English language...
Or the emergence of the English Bullpen Language, whichever way you look at it.
