If you knew anything about this board, the first thing we do is toughen a newbie up so they can handle their knowledge on the field. Whimps don't make it in this business, neither do wise a$$es. Disagree with us to learn is great. Attack a veteran and you will not last! It's been proven time and time again. And if someone is in need of help from a poster, let him or her ask themselves. We do not need a "caped crusader" to ride to everyone's rescue. Try to remember that!

I travel almost full time for business (somehow I've still found the time to do 45 games this year, which is amazing considering the miles I've flown). I've been to Portland a few times and Tim and I have eaten dinner and had drinks together. I watched him work the plate on a playoff game last season (or was it two years ago?). I was even a guest at his association banquet. I consider him a friend.

But we've disagreed in the past and we aren't shy about disagreeing. This time, I don't disagree. He knew what he was going to do on a ball down the line before it was hit. He went. I've pregamed this with my partners in the past. It's no big deal.

I respect those who do disagree civilly, but UES can go pound sand. He's just a troll. Probably one of those that has been banned here before.
