    Here's my take: I was never a huge Sosa fan. I grew up idolizing Sandberg and how he played the game. Everybody brings up the offense Sosa brought and '98. I didn't watch many games in '98 due to being at school and I kind of fell out of the baseball world for a year or 2 because I didn't have a television in my room. So, while that year was incredible for him and fans, it doesn't mean a whole lot to me. But, that doesn't take away from what he did that year...it just isn't imbedded in my head and heart like it is for others. I liked Sosa better when he was a basestealer as well as a hitter and gave more to the game than just simply hitting long homeruns (that how he appeared to me). As I came back around to watching the Cubs again when I got my own tv, there were other players that I liked better than Sosa for various reasons. So, it's not that I hate Sosa, because I don't, it's just that he's not a player I felt a great passion for nor did I feel connected to him in any special but the more he fell from grace, the more I really cared for him less and less. Oh, and Mizzou, I have been following the Cubs over half my life minus the year or two I previously talked about.

    Did he really say *an grossly*? :shock:

    Sounds like a looong season.

    Amen. =D>

    I'll be glad to proof it. I love doing that. I focus more on grammar and mechanics. I proofed it and made changes...check your PMs.

    What constitutes something being a "cola drink"? Just curious. I say soda.

    Would deleting old threads that haven't been active since before Opening Day 2004 be effective? I very much doubt people are going to miss those much. Maybe putting in an "auto delete" feature in threads that have been inactive for, say, 18 months? I'm sure it would give you enough room, at least for now. You could have an archive for the more popular or funny threads, like the famous Nomar thread. Also just thinking out loud. Wasn't around then. Could you let me know what thread that is? here you go

    I never formally complained about the polls to a mod/admin. I thought there were many distasteful pictures in the threads that were not conducive to this site being family friendly. After a short time of the polls being up, I did quit clicking them. I was not interested in seeing those women. But, my objection to the threads was more about the site being family friendly. I wasn't concerned about myself clicking on the threads as I know better than that. My concern was more about my young male cousin who will frequent this site while at my house. I feel pretty safe allowing him to browse the board and read things on here without my needing to watch him over his shoulder. However, once the polls went up and the pictures that were being posted, I no longer felt comfortable allowing him to peruse the site unsupervised. If I had one young child looking at this site, I'm sure many more posters did as well and we shouldn't have to censor what threads they navigate.

    Gah. See, I'm so grumpy right now that I'm making up new words. :)

    =D> I could not have said this better myself. I hate, hate, hate winter and cold weather. I hate that it gets dark so early. I love the sun and warmth and need some humidity. I get sick when it's dry, dark and cold. I'm usually in a permative state of grumpiness once it drops below 45 degrees until it reaches 60 again in the spring. In short, winter sucks and as soon as I can move to the south again, I will.

    I never liked Ken Caminiti.

    Halloween brings about some sad memories of my cousin's wake and funeral so I don't dress up nor do I hand out candy. I'm a Halloween scrouge.
  14. sandberg23
    You didn't. It got moved to social. Edit: And then promptly moved back to baseball discussions. Must be ghosts hanging round NSBB. Edit 2: And then moved back to Social. Seriously, what's going on? Halloween joke? And now it's back in baseball discussions. Weird.

    :pukel: It is really getting unbearable living with my dad right now. It's funny, though, he only updates me on the game when the Sox do something good. He was quite the entire time the Astros were winning.

    I met my idol and that's enough for me. :swoons: :D
  17. sandberg23
    Houston. No question.
  18. sandberg23
    My thoughts exactly. Sounds crazy, but I think I'd pulled a Bobby Cox a la playoffs in 1985 and maybe intentionally walked Pujols to keep that from happening. I'm shocked they pitched to him. I wouldn't let their best player beat me if I had a chance to clinch. I would have taken my chance with the next batter.

    gee, gutsy. who didn't see that coming? :lol:

    Agreed If you lived where I do, I doubt you would feel that way. And if you lived where I do, you probably would feel my way. Lots of Cardinal dislike here. I used to live less than an hour from where you are, and in Chicago, and was raised on hating the Cards. Astros fans are worse, and the few there are live around here. generally, they are the most ignorant, obnoxious, fairweather fans I have ever met. I know you used to live around here...but in the last few years, in my opinion, there has been much more tolerance of the Astros and much more hatred for the Cards. I hate them. I can tolerate the Astros.

  22. sandberg23
    That sucked. I hate the Cardinals and want the Astros to win the series. :x
  23. sandberg23
    I still hope the Astros win the series.
  24. sandberg23
    Wow...
  25. sandberg23
    ditto. it's a world series game. i'd be there in a heartbeat if possible.
