    Hey King!!! and all other BDC alumni howve ya been? I, as well as a few others, got locked out of BDC forums. They contacted us with a long letter stating that they were closing the forums down may 31st, so I stopped posting there over a month ago I think.. I started coming here about a week or so ago and so far have nothing but great things to say about those Ive interacted with.
    Im headed back to NH for a while so Ill be here on and off for the next couple weeks. looking forward to talking to everyone again.

I'm a poster who likes to support my opinions with facts and data, so bear with me, if numbers are not your thing. I will say, I'm not all about data. I played the wonderful game of baseball for over 2 decades before switching to softball as I aged. I realize winning baseball is often related to intangibles that no data can reveal.
    I'm a huge Sox fan. I used to live in Milwaukee and became a big Tommy Harper fan. My family moved to Maine when I was 12 years old. Soon afterwards Tommy Harper was traded to the Red Sox, and I switched to being a Sox fan. It hasn't been easy. Decades of frustration were followed by the extreme joy of 2004 and the championships that followed, however I moved to Mexico City in late 2004. I quickly found myself missing the water cooler Sox talk, so I joined the Boston Globe Sox Forum. Four years later, my wife, daughter and I moved to Sugar Land, Texas. After over 50,000 posts on that site, I was saddened to hear they were shutting down. So, here I am. I'm looking forward to some spirited debates and more championships to celebrate together.
    Good to hear that someone who lived in Mexico City is joining to talksox. Bienvenido, Sr.

    Welcome to all of our new members! I hope you enjoy posting here. If you have any questions (for example "why is everyone here insane?", "what do the several dozen inside jokes people keep referring to mean?", or "do the Yankees really, truly suck?"), feel free to PM me.

    For the record, the answers are: "Because we're Red Sox fans", "Read the old threads, you lazy jerk", and "Um, obviously."

    Strek > swars, but there's a spectrum. Old Swars > Chris Pine Strek. TNG >>>>>>>>>>>>> prequels.
    If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.

    If that were the rule, we would have no game threads.

    Hello all! King thanks for starting this thread over here.
    to all existing members of this forum - thanks for the warm welcome.

    i have been posting on BDC forum since 2006 under this same username. it is sad that site is closing after a decade of posting with members over there that have become more like family than anonymous posters. Hopefully most (all!) will migrate over to here and we can see our family grow.
    Once BDC finally shuts down (end of May) i will be a daily participant to this site.

    I will be transferring my season long EE vs RS cernterfielder Slasher Tracker to this site at some point in the coming days.

    There are a few BDC posters who left here for BDC because they were banned. I doubt they will be allowed back.

    4. Don't try to start Star Trek-related arguments with mods just to be a jerk. You'll always lose.
