    Two things.

    1. I have a ton of interests and am a very busy person.

    2. I might not be a great fit for this board. I like to exaggerate and have fun and just shoot the ****. This board is more serious and high-brow.

    Nothing wrong with number 2, to be clear. I enjoy posting occasionally and definitely enjoy reading the posts (yours especially)

    But I don't think you guys would really appreciate my style of posting entertainment.
    This place is high-brow? Lol, wut.

    It is not high brow. It is receding hair line.

    Buddy. You've got Enscheff describing the horizontal and vertical movement of every pitch.

    I love it. It definitely has its place.

    Have you seen Enscheff's posts about baseball? That's mainly what I'm speaking of. Elite of the elite.

    I'm trying to pay you guys a compliment here!

    He isn’t wrong. This is the most knowledgeable group of fans I have encountered. We might pick at each other or fly off the handle. But all in all. We seem to have a good grasp of baseball.

    Poppycock. I have never read more outlandish remarks. I will not stand for such a denigration to the good name of this site.

    Upon my return from the Hamptons, I shall be placing a formal, written complaint to the proprietor of this establishment, detailing the libel words expressed by one, SJ24.

    He’s talking about our sense of humor, or lack there of. Tells me he only reads his own threads.

    Folks on here love to give each other a hard time. It’s just the way we bond over baseball. As long as folks don’t cross the line into homophobic/racist/sexist stuff I think it’s hilarious.

    So if you come out and say crazy things, expect to be the target of a healthy dose of ridicule. I don’t think anyone takes any of it personally.
