Kangaroo Court is in session: Eddie version

[bearbryant]

the guy that got called 15K thief kinda whined about it.. that's another nickname that stuck

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

15KT did kinda grouse about it, but eventually took it in the spirit of how it was meant and rolled with it.

[marshall]

Not everybody has to have a nickname.

I said something Once and it was over with. I actually thought it was funny a bunch of grown men would get upset over a stupid Post Count. That was what my response about. People here made more about it than I ever did all because he got so upset about it. See you guys have your favorites which is OK. I wonder how many really know my Name as most of you know each other real name.

[Deleted]

Maybe I am getting old, but I forgot who the 15K thief was.  In retrospect it was funny as hell.   Great big build up. and then boom a snowy weather report.  

Kind of like runway lights on the big Airplane landing....

Thomas isn't a grown man. The booze has reduced his mental faculties down to childhood levels.

Have you ever GIVEN your name, or do you expect us to get James Comey to find it on Hillary's server?

I've been in a position to be in charge of a lot of people for a long time, and on rare occasions I've had to fire an employee. I've discovered that you don't have to look for reasons to let someone go, they'll provide the ammunition for you; i.e., they fire themselves. If this dude has created enough of a stir to "fire" himself from the board, then he's made it easy for you. If not, then let him back in. Only you know the answer.

[talshill]

As far as I know, no one here knows my real name, either.  I'm not big into social media and I only have a Facebook account (which I peruse once in a blue moon) because one of my daughters (I have 4) set it up and presented it to me.  I suppose I'm a bit antisocial, consistently an INTP personality on Myers-Briggs.  But I do get a measure of entertainment from reading what you folks have to say.  And I love baseball.

I, for one, am glad you're around. Whether you choose to reveal private information or not.

I've put out some, but I don't know if anybody has put it together or not. I know I wouldn't.

[marshall]

BTW Bortaz/Admin/Coaching Staff/Kermit/Froggie.,

If you are thinking about adding one more quick link, I'd like to nominate Cot's Baseball Contracts.

[marshall]

By the way,

I love having a board that is moderated and administered by an active participant. The MLB board must have been moderated by a foreigner(NY?) and could get action based on complaints without knowing any details. It's the only explanation I can come up with for why I was banned the second time. It was also impossible to find out why or ask for a review because the MODs could only be accessed through the site you were banned from.

Thank you Bortaz. Even with your reluctance to be an Administrator, you have done an excellent job.

Thanks, Marshall (if that's really your name...)

I made no comments regarding Marshall's kiss assedness, or lack thereof.

Yes, it's my real name. I can't remember who I am if I use anything else.

I call them as I see them, for better or worse...

Ephesians 4:14-16 New International Version (NIV)

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

You're right about that.  My oldest is an A&M graduate, married to an engineer (also an Aggie) and lives in Ft. Worth.  She's considering law school, but she's off my payroll.  My second just graduated from A&M and is going into anesthesiology.  She comes off the books August 1 (no more daddy money).  The other two are in high school (I started having kids later in life).  No sons.


My life is a sea of estrogen.  I can't tell you how many times I've come home after dark and the only light on in the house was the glare of the TV.  My wife, daughters and whatever little friends they had over would be watching some chick-flick tear-jerker, the house filled with the sound of sobbing females.  I don't say a word.  I just retreat to the bedroom with my laptop.  At least my wiener dog is male (he's just missing a couple of male parts).

My home life almost mirrored yours, I have two daughters now living in Florida now. My youngest is a junior that is at Stetson University, the school of Kluber and DeGrom. Even with scholarship's that school is expensive. I am talking her back to finish in PA.

About 25 years ago a friend of mine went into hock big time to pay for his three girls to go to whatever school they wanted that wanted them as well.  Each one graduated and got married.  When each one got married his wife planned a huge wedding where money did not seem to be a consideration.  At the second wedding I asked him about the whole situation and he said that he had made a promise to his wife that if she married him (JoP kind of affair), that any daughter that they had would get the best of everything.  Since he worked for me I knew what he made and he could not afford what he was doing but he held true to his promise.  It took him 12 years of working a second job but he paid off the 135k that he went into debt for.  

About 11-12 years ago his wife was diagnosed with dementia.  As the effects became worse his daughters called a time out in their lives to take care of her during the day so that he could focus on her in the evenings. They stayed strong as the effects finally took her life about 3 years ago.  All three girls still dote on their father to this date.  I had lunch with him about 7 months ago and kind of relived a few events in our friendship.  He to this date says that the money that he spent on his girls was the best money he ever invested.  He looked me in the eye and said that the things you do in life come back to you, and you know what, I believe him.  Today he is a happy man and really enjoyed his 5 grand daughters and 1 grandson yesterday.  (1 daughter had triplet girls).
