Baseball/Slant - The Sixth Year

[love_that_reefer]

I was lead here by Leo from the Yahoo baseball chatrooms.

Where is my Matt Stairs B/S S3F T-shirt?

I was just searching for baseball forums and found this place, love this place, wish I could post more often then I normally do!

I'm also a Kobe recruit. He was whoring theMLBforums over at SOSD and I decided to come here as that place was getting a bit unbearable at the time. I still kept posting there but I picked up this place as well from then on.

Someone has to be, Hammer.

Like this? It'll be coming soon.



(Apologies in advance to fashion photographers, but this was "shot" up in the bleachers last year where my brother, the model, and I were packed together with a bunch of other soon to be disappointed fans.)

I, too, would like to purchase one of those t-shirts.

Mission, I thought we were going to use a large chested female as the model?

I still remember Dam8610 bringing me into the fold back in 2006 for sim leagues. Now I don't post often, but still try to check the forums from time to time. It's weird cause in 2006 I was at Columbia College in Chicago for music composition. Now I recently graduated from the Illinois Center for Broadcasting and have more free time while I look for a job. It was cool because I used my connections there to get media passes to the Chicago Bears training camp. Now I'd like to see if I can get into the Cubs locker room for some interviews. Just blows my mind how much I've changed as a person since first coming here.

It's surprising how many good people post on these forums. I've seen other message boards and the quality of people is usually pretty low. It's the only reason I check back from time to time.

I used to see mission on the AOL message board and I belive we both grew weary of some of those... colorful... posters. Also saw him on the "other" Reds board and followed him here at some point.

Mission: I know you've worked hard on this site during the last several years and every positive comment is richly deserved!

My plan is to post a lot this season, so strap in and prepare for some passionate commentary.

[Kingdom]

That's definitely acceptable.

I'll take two larges in gray please.

I just followed Mission when "themlbforum" (an alternative at the time to the troll poluted "Official" MLB forums) disbanded, I've been stalking Mission for many years.

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it and all the other nice comments.

My story is very similar to yours as you explained. Years ago, when there was The MLB Forum, Eric The Red recruited me off the AOL Reds message board that the three of us once posted at. From there it was the path of moderator-super moderator-administrator and eventually creating B/S (then known as S3F.) Its kind of weird to think of how different my interests and career might have been had I never been led there because the majority of the skills I needed for the site I learned as I went out of necessity. Definitely glad it happened.

After my first random number generator result landing on one of my posts, I got a result I could use.

Post #6 wins and it is Foster. Congrats! You now have a B/S Partner Membership and I'll send you a PM right now asking for your email so I can get you setup with a Baseball Prospectus subscription.
