You are. I s*** you not!

I think that that is a great pick! He was my second choice. You probably can guess who I picked to win.

We'll figure out a date - i'm in you already know. In western Maine, winter is begrudgingly giving way to spring. It is a secret but you know it is why we live here.

I love watching a good pitcher pitch - not much power just good pitching. Happy for Johnson so far.

I think that you are right - should be some penalty forthcoming NC - sorry about that but oh well.

an old friend on the hill

More more more

Honest to God - save me - give him that option year.

that we do! Benintendi rips his first hit - we are rolling now.

Ain't that the truth. You ain't just ashittin bisquits. I'm thinking that I might be pretty close to the top of the list. All in good fun.

Is that a new word - i like it

ok that was a hard couple of hits good to see forgot to say about mighty f***ing time

How's Richards feeling right now - walking JBJ

Now we are ripping it lol- let's go JBJ

Oh wait one more thing - You are just a proverbial pain in the ass. LOL

I don't find that condescending at all. I don't find you condescending . I think that what you have said is good advice. Condescending is a tough assed word these days. I far prefer humble myself.

Moon - please I was not talking about you. We've done this dance and I understand where you are coming from. I will just say that I have been posting here for a number of years and I really like Spud. He is unique for sure but he is a good one. The condescension factor goes a helluva lot deeper than anything that you might say. Half the time if I told you my exact feelings you would say the same thing about me. Spud surely doesn't need me to defend him. He tells it like he sees it and at times in amusing ways. He states his opinions succinctly and in very colorful ways often but I don't sense much of a mean bone in that body. Not my battle but I don't like seeing two good baseball people squaring off like this. You are both needed. If I was to tell you that after a lifetime of playing teaching and coaching that in all honesty I think that I know more about the game than anyone who has simply studied the game from an analytical point of view- of which I am personally sure of - would that sound condescending to you? My guess is that it probably would. Maybe I should say that but I certainly wouldn't mean it. wink wink

Hey these guys are surer than s*** going to hit though right. Mookie at least hit it hard. Vazquez had a nice at bat but that was no shot by any means. Tiresome!

I like this lineup primarily because I think a pattern is being established. Everybody gets a little rest!

Is the Bowling Masters being played this weekend? Do you have to still set your own pins? lol

I think that it has to do much more with how an opinion is presented. No one repeat no one likes to feel as though they are experiencing any type of condescension. I don't think that you do this but it seems to happen everyday. If you feel it enough, then it really should come as no surprise that a reaction occurs.

Well as far as learning some serious math skills by learning how to score, I'm all over that one. Golf not so much - 1,2,3,4,5,and an occasional 6 - easy factorin'

Man I am super excited for this one. I really hope B. Johnson pitches well. I would love nothing more than to see him force his way into that regular rotation.

Nice - a little Maine - Bowdoin College girl. Humble and tough. She also serves as a pretty good example to young people today that specializing simply in one sport may not be so hot after all. She was a multi sport athlete.

I didn't want to offer any tidbits of wisdom based on this quote which I have read many times but oh well - You are 100% correct. What can be really amusing is what defines a hacker. Now that one is particularly relative.
