    The Expos do not exist and as such you are in essence a fan of nothing. Which explains your behavior.

    my grandma passed today at the ripe age of 100 but no one could be by her side because she was in the hospital.  she was such a sweet sweet lady.  truly not a bad bone in her body.

    At 20 I would let her do her thing. As long as she's healthy she's not in real personal danger. I don't have the desire to battle my girls on  every bad decision they make. Too exhausting

    first I would like to wish the very best to everyone here as well as their friends, families, colleagues etc.  this is a unfamiliar and unprecedented time for almost all of us. 
    from the standpoint of actual baseball it really sucks.  I not only look forward to seeing the halos battle on almost a nightly basis this time of year but coming here to talk about it.  right now, I feel like there is only one thing to talk about in all of society.  
    This place is a sanctuary of sorts.  A place to leave a bunch of other stuff behind and I really miss that right now.

    We're living in a very tumultuous time right now. Some people are scared and are panicking. There're wearing protective masks when out in public, and many are hysterically buying supplies off store shelves out of sheer ignorance or panic. I'm older than most on this board and lived through something very similar to this many years ago.
    It was 1949 and the Polio epidemic was just reaching its peak in Los Angeles. Back then my 17 year old  brother caught the disease and was in an 'iron lung' for three months (and spent another three in a hospital bed recovering and re-learning how to breath and swallow on his own). I had a younger brother, 8 months old, who also caught the polio virus, but he didn't survive.
    Our home was put under mandatory quarantine for two months. Signs were posted on every window and door. The only occupants allowed to leave were my parents. And they were only allowed to leave to go to the hospital to visit my older brother. And even they were escorted to and from.
    The Diary truck would have to leave our milk & eggs on the front sidewalk, and the 'Helms man' who delivered the bread would have to do the same. Some of the neighbors would often leave cardboard box's of caned goods for us on the sidewalk as well. No one was allowed to approach the front porch or house any closer than the front sidewalk.
    My sister was 10 and I was 5 and we had to stay inside the house for the whole two months. We couldn't even go into the back yard. We didn't have a TV back then (not many people did), so we had to entertain ourselves. There weren't many programs on the radio for kids back then either. I'm pretty sure that I learned to read by repeatedly reading and memorizing 'Archie', 'Lil Abner', and Donald Duck comic books.
    I wasn't aware what was happening in the outside world at that time, but my parents later told me it was very similar to what is happening now. There was panic buying and confusion over the facts of how the (polio) virus was being spread. When people are scared they often do stupid things. And when sane people see other people doing stupid things they begin to panic also. 
    My Prayer is that all of you stay safe and don't have to experience what I went through. But I assure you that before this epidemic is over there will be some families that will have gone through a living Hell.

    He's that mom you see at Target with two children throwing a football back and forth knocking over every display stand, one fat kid ripping open bags of marshmallows and eating them, and one kid screaming because mom won't buy him the newest PS4 game. She's shrugging and saying "I don't even try to discipline them because they won't listen to me anyway."

    I actually tweaked an intercostal muscle a few weeks ago chasing a rat by too aggressively swinging a closet hanging rod at it.  true story.  more details upon request.  
    anyway, it took about 2-3 weeks to heal and I don't throw a baseball in the upper 90's.
