He was fun.... sometimes. There's a lot of old posters that I wonder what happened to them.

OldFan was like a bad traffic accident.  You know you shouldn't look, but you just can't help yourself.  Cindyluvsbrady was another epic poster from the old days.  Her knowledge and appreciation of advanced statistics were ahead of her time.  🤣

OldFan could be maddening.  He produced some epic posts, though.  Some of my favorites were: How a certain player "didn't have a good name for baseball," how "walks weren't manly," and how people shouldn't bring children to the stadium.  He was the living embodiment of the meme "old man shakes fist at cloud."  

What's wild is... I'm pretty sure I remember every one of those topics!  Good memory!

Man, you all are bringing back some blasts from the past.  Cindyluvsbrady seemed pretty sweet, but could really get offended easily.  OldFan drove me a little nuts.   

That being said, I've learned more about baseball than I ever thought I could by coming to this site.

I thought the book was better.

Movie wimped out on not having J. D. Salinger.

J. D. Salinger threatened to sue to stop production if his name was used.

That and the original Angels in the Outfield.

I just watched the Original Angels in the Outfield while I was in Myrtle Beach for daughters Graduation.  It's a great movie...would make anyone's top ten.

At one of the old Hangout nights in LF, upper deck, Cindy determined that Brady was in the broadcast booth. She set off on a mission to get in there. I don't think I ever saw her again in person after that. Hmmmmm

Anyone know what happened to him?  Did he get banned or did the rainbow bridge get him in the end?

Personally I like "A League of their own"  because it combines  my two favorite things together.  Watching baseball and watching women.

That's a solid choice.

I like 8 men out because they tried to be historically accurate and I like Angels in the outfield for the pure cheesiness of it.  And the scene where she cooks with Neatsfoot oil.

    • There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!
    • While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.  
    • I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.
    • Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
    • Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers
    • I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
