No carryover squabbles, please.
I read the Globe forum, but don't participate or haven't in almost a decade.
There are some really great personalities and some very knowledgeable folks on that forum.
Moonslav, I remember your handle from that site. I hope you stick around.
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
Welcome to all migrants!!!
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Why is the BDC forum being dissolved? Has any explanation been given?

I'm also new and can vouch for moonslav but not for myself, a Sox fan since 1949 (born at Fort Banks, now gone, in suburbs of Boston). 31 years in the Army, retired 23 years ago in Fairfax County, VA, only Sox fan among 6 siblings. Have never actually tried to produce a Broadway musical, but am a Mel Brooks fan. I think I am civil even when disagreeing.
Welcome to all the site all new posters, look forward to debating/arguing/discussing baseball with you all!
Exciting! I've never posted anywhere other than here, and even then, not all that often. I always thought the only thing this site was missing was bigger numbers, personally.
The Globe site had a lot of great posters. Many came and went as site issues and personal attacks got out of hand from time to time. At this point, there's a solid 10-15 consistent contributors there. If all of them come here, I think you guys will be thankful the Globe site went extinct.
