Words of Wisdom:

Having moral courage and doing the right thing does not mean doing what's easy. Don't forget to laugh at yourself. - PSJR

"This is a business and you're taking it very, very personally. Isnt that right, Tom?"

"Why, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker is just not your game. I know, let's have a spelling contest!"

Fr. J. Corapi
"If you constantly see the darkness in others, are always concerned about it, continuously pointing it out in others; then you concern yourself with darkness too much. It occupies you. You become enveloped in it and then become dark yourself. Instead, be the Light"

Hey Patrick,

I had an awful day today, so I took it out on MLB. Here's my first humor piece on "the worst case scenarios for all 30 teams." If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/141346-mlb-nightmares-how-bad-can-it-get-humor

As always, thanks for the support, and I hope you enjoy the read/makes your day better!

Dracula's Buttocks has teeth said...

Pat, I'm kind of "not allowed" to bring back the old picture and the name. I was told that the site would probably riot if it was known that I'm allowed to stay here after all the trouble I've caused. I kind of got stuck with the Dracula avatar by default. I've had it for so long now, it's kind of synonymous with me. I guess I could change the picture, but it is pretty obnoxious, ...so I like it. You can call me Eddie if you want. You don't have to call me Dracula, or Buttock's (unless of course you really feel that I'm acting like an a$$).

I'm not nearly as insane as you remember me. There are a couple of people I still pester from time to time because they're such A-Hole's I can't resist, but other than that I'm pretty legit on this site right now (Hey, look, I'm an analyst, whoopee!). I probably get trolled more than I troll at this point, as I'm sure you've noticed. Those are, pretty much, people who I've driven bananas and have devoted the rest of their lives (and most of their mental energy) to getting me back (whatever the hell that means).

Anyway, I'll resist the temptation to brutally zap your Yankee articles, ...but only because I like you (but for the life of me, I don't know why. I don't think we agree on anything). If I do comment I'll respectfully try to contribute to the discussion. I'll stay in touch. Good luck with everything.
