Hey, pitchers and catchers reported five days ago and the first spring training games are being played this Sunday.
Spring will most surely be here soon. *

* Around these parts that really means spring will arrive in the weeks AFTER the regular season Opening Day. wink

Cruz acknowledged his decision to travel to Cancún “was dumb as hell,”

C’mon Rod, give Ted a break already, it’s not easy being as big of a hypocrite that Ted is and it takes a lot of hard work. Although, I doubt his pandering to his “hot as hell” wife will do what he hopes. The fact Trump said just the opposite and he still supported him is all we need to know about Lyin’ Ted.

Not surprised, sending PM’s it’s one of his bullying tactics. He’s such an odd person and I’ve had many run ins with him over the years here. I really think he has mommy issues. Or was dropped on his head as a child one too many times. Maybe is was his mommy who kept dropping him on his head. He’s PM’d me a few times too. One of them, strangely, was a rather benign one, but many others were more like the time he threatened to drive to Michigan to beat me up. What an f’ing loser. Funny thing is he thinks he’s just the opposite.

Could it be Abby Normal? I wonder if he can tap dance to Puttin' on the Ritz. 
Referencing my favorite movie. For years I used an Eyegor avatar of Marty Feldman here and on Cloudy Nights. I changed it on CN to Gene Wilder as Dr. Frankensteen. 

If Richard's the monster then who is Herr Doktor?  wink

I was wondering why we hadn't heard from him. I was sure something happened in the last few days that he could have "commented" on. wink  Private message hate mail shouldn't be tolerated which is what this thread is all about. I was a victim of it but at the time didn't want to make waves so I just let it go. Probably why I have a chip on my shoulder when responding to some posts.

That said, we all better tone down the rhetoric around here or Herb might nuke the place.

A very tragic loss to the Astro-community.  He leaves his wife and 4 kids from 10 to 17 yrs...  Unimaginable loss for them..

Jon and I became good friends about 10 years ago and I'm saddened that i can't go to the memorial service.....

Sad news. I met him at one of the WSP and he helped me out with a feather touch focuser for a TV 85 I had bought used here on AM. It was an older model and didn’t quite fit my scope and the pinion gear didn’t mesh well with the knobs. He took the scope back home and sent it back to me with the base machined to fit perfectly. I think it cost all of $25 bucks and that included shipping back to me. Just had that one interaction with him but he was a really nice guy.

You keep thinking that Steven. Being able to use self deprecating humor is one thing, calling other folks names is another.
