I’ll give it to you when I know we are both here at the same time and I can delete it quickly. I can’t afford to be doxxed because some cretin approves of small ball.

Kinda bruh eats Bundt cake pre-game for small luck.

Only if we hit up Waffle House. My best friend from Johnson City just moved to Katy TX. I'll be down sometime.

I love Waffle House but I’m not going with you. I quit enjoying getting my ass kicked about 30 years ago.

I can’t say I ever enjoyed getting my ass kicked.

Including by an all American lineman who had a pretty decent NFL career.

66, the last couple of years you’ve talked about doing a separate game thread. This thread could serve that purpose?

I have noticed there’s kind of a separate game thread in “the dugout” I guess, I’m not certain of it, but it kinda seems like it. I’m certainly open to suggestions, but the “official game thread” this past weekend was pretty civil…yeah, we blew em out and so no real reason for negative comments.

I was about to go scorched earth in there when we gave up that 2nd run of the weekend, but then I remembered we scored 46 and decided I’d unleash my fury another time.

In which thread?

Haha, I jest, but if I did go nuclear one day, it would have to be in the game thread

I don’t know what the truth is here. I know everyone needs a break from this place at times, and I’m hoping that’s all it is for now.

My brain says one thing, heart says something else. In some ways, as it pertains to the baseVols, he’ll always be here, always treasured, a voice of reason, a man of good will and impeccable manner. We didn’t agree on everything but the basic core rules and whether we win or lose, as long as I’m here, those will stand.

GBO!!!

If you do decide to go nuclear, would you mind giving us a warning so we can hunker down in our bomb shelters?

If you went nuclear it would be atomic.

 

[Volprofch05]

If you went nuclear it would be atomic.

Maybe even subatomic

 

[VolPack22]

Maybe even subatomic

That would be a leap of quantum proportions.

@VolPack22 is brighter than just a stat google. He nailed that one.

That reminds me.

I have wondered about OT, as well. I knew where he lived because he had sent me some prizes from the pick ‘em contest. Had corresponded with each other by email as well. My last email to him went unanswered and that was about a week after he had emailed me. I checked the obituaries yesterday and did find someone in his area with his exact name. I hope I’m wrong, but it seems to be quite possible he has passed. Hopefully, I’m wrong. If so and he sees this, he will definitely jump my case. I debated posting this, but felt that everyone would like to know something.

Deepest sympathies. God's blessings and healing to his friends and family. Didn't know him and didn't interact with him, but he sounds like a guy I'd have liked to know and have a beer with.

Small ball has it's place. Moving runners into scoring position with a well placed bunt or hitting behind a runner....ain't nuthin wrong with that. That's a beautiful part of the game.

We do play small ball. We only hit 250ft homers.

Small ball is dingers over the short porch in right at LNS.
