Nope. Good try. The starting third baseman on the Polish Baseball All Star squad is a fine example (maybe there is a separate thread in the making of Philly and Farm Team local greats).

I didn't know that they folded that requirement. How about the application process? Aw, who cares.

So what was this all about? All I knew at the time was that one day I was allowed on and the next... *poof*... it was gone, and I had no involvement in any of it. I suppose that's why I was premitted back when I attempted to re-register a few years ago.

What exactly started the obvious joke about Weedmaster Werth? Was there just one thing or was it just who he is and wholly appears to be?

Pretty much just an outlandish unsubstantiated rumor set the whole thing in motion, but his image really adds some inertia to it.
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

Smitty rings the winner bell, but 1 get the wheel of cheese for the classy retort.

I went through some of the archives over there, but couldn't find that thread unfortunately. I didn't really think they would have been left there. I did find some funny stuff though:

I think I lost about 30% of my testosterone just by clicking on that link.


This one, Woody posted a picture that "was inspired upon hearing news of the demotion of Matt McCoy." Then this happened:

If you look closely, the shot says JOB in the center. By the way, I have to rearrange everything on the site, putting the best first, and what not, and label things better, and post more pictures, and well, this is a lot of work.

All of it was made pretty easy by Breezebrowser pro and Site builder provided by IXWebhosting. If anyone signs up with IXWebhosting, let me know and we can split the referral fee. It is THE best host out there. I can even put this very message board on my web site for free. Really. All for six dollars and change a month, if you pay for two years.


I was pimping your website, doc. If you notice, when you click on it it goes right to your profile. Sheesh. :roll:

Did a quick check but didn't find it right away. Apparently we used "pandas" a bunch of times...

For those that don't know Dancing Bears, it's a painting by William Holbrook Beard seen below:

It was adopted for plays where weird stuff was happening on the field, like a grounder bouncing off Howard, right to Utley, throw to 1st and the runner trips over the base, or 3 fielders go for a popup, nobody catches it and someone throws the ball away in a panic.....stuff like that...
