Newer ain't better and this ain't better. I'm not signing up to Xcretion.

One question: If this is the suspended game, why isn't Jansen playing for Toronto.?

We are in trouble without you.

I'll stick around. I can get used to anything, I guess.

I don't blame you, but don't worry, we will post the good stuff on here.

All I ask for is a little patience. I know the system is new and different but it's a lot easier to use than that ancient vBulletin instance if you give it a shot. You can copy and paste all sorts of things into the editor and it "just works". And you get user tagging, reactions, and a ton of other stuff.

I already opened prospect voting here and that's just the tip of the iceberg of what's coming.

[Hugh2]

How ironic would it be for this game to go extra innings and delay the start of the evening game?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivettaboutit! But he's pitched a very good game w/o any help from the lately anemic offense.

No problem. I was just confused about X being involved.

Oh lord no, we have a Twitter account for the site but that's about it...

No problem bringing in Sgt Garcia. This way Cora wii have Martin available in the 2nd game.

Brutal times, folks.

SOX playing like they can't wait for their golf season to start.

Indeed.  The Diamondbacks do not have a good pitching staff, and they owned the Sox lineup.   And now the Jays own them.  

Duran just hit a solo dinger for the Sox only run, and the NESN team acted like it was a game winner.

You don't have to worry about that, Hugh. Sgt Garcia made sure that wasn't gonna happen.

When the game started, it looked like a sparse "crowd."

Let's see how sparse the crowd is for game 2. Sparse crowds are more important to JH than winning ball games.

Danny Jansen will be immortalized in baseball history today.

I'm sorry, but saying "enshrined in baseball history' is just stupid.  It's an accident and completely meaningless.    Nothing is achieved.

I'd rather they get it over with too.

Perhaps you're taking my statement a little too seriously here.

You're right, of course.  But I'm in a crappy mood, and I don't much like Jansen.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jansen made history and the SOX made misery.

[Tedballgame]

The weaknesses of the Red Sox have been exposed these past 4 games. Hopes for a Wild Card are fading fast. Bring up the kids.

Is 'old-timey' better than 'verified?'

If the SOX finish at .500, it will still be an overachieving season.

It goes like this:

1. Provisional Member - this is the spam prevention category. A user has to have two posts approved by a moderator and then they move to

2. Verified Member - this is the basic member with all standard permissions but after something like 10,000 posts, you move to

3. Old-Timey Member - this has a few additional permissions that I'll customize as we go along and I get feedback from all of you. Basically, more freedom is allowed here because if you've been around long enough to post thousands of times, you're not going to cause too much trouble.

Thanks. Good to know. I'll attempt to keep my swearing and trouble-making to a minimum.

This has to be the lowest point of the year, except for maybe before the season began.

No.  “Old Timey” just means we write our posts directly on to the monitor with a quill pen loaded with the ink of a freshly-milked squid.

Wow, that Luis Garcia has been just what Dr. Kevorkian ordered.

 

(Look it up.)
