Take your time, I know you've got a lot to do.

 

I'm still scarred by the time all the Cubs fans made fun of drafting Joe Mauer because we got Mark Prior and that did not turn out the way it was supposed to.

Luck of the draw. It was incredible watching Mauer play 100% of his career in Minnesota but my lord were locals unfairly critical of him.

 

And it's not as if Prior was a bust, he was just... a pitcher. With an arm. Those players tend to die horrible, violent career deaths.

 

Even as an outsider, it was kind of a bummer to watch because he was just so good when he could, you know, throw a baseball hard.

The Cubs have since learned their lesson and never, ever drafted a pitcher in the last 10 years. I assume. I honestly haven't paid that much attention since like the Kris Bryant draft.

Your new avatar.

 

Okay, I like this crowd. You're brutal. I see you and appreciate you.

 

Honestly though, this board reminds me a bit of my first site, Battle Your Tail Off, which was absolute chaos in the most entertaining way imaginable. And I love that vibe. Seriously. If put in meme form, this is the vibe I get from all of you and it's wonderful.

Honestly it has been forever since I even looked at the Board Index view. I always click on Active Topics.

After we do the transition to the new software, please touch base with me and let me know how you feel about the new interface and how to best use it.

Oh lord, I'm here for all of 30 hours and you're bringing the absolute worst out in me.

Funny, this is the best I've felt yet about the transition.

Does this mean active topics is gone?

If Battle Your Tail Off was still live on the internet, I'd show you but you'd reel in horror at the content. Not because it was MAGA but because it was like a cage fight between a dozen toddlers holding fish knives.

 

I was born for this.

No, only moved. There is a really robust activity tool that you can customize to your liking. It wasn't even a thing I really cared about until a bunch of people on Brewer Fanatic talked about how much they liked it, so I put a little effort into making it better.
