<t>Back in the early 90's, I collected some autographs when I went to the various Piratefests. Unfortunately, I primarily got my autographs from '93 on, and I left a lot with my ex when we split up. I'm sure most aren't worth the baseball I had them sign now (Mark Smith, anyone?), but something I re...

<t>OK, I'm a lot fed up with the bitter ad-hominems (not directed at me) and lack of real baseball talk of a member here, and I'd really like to ignore them, just for a few years until they calm down after recent events. It is just tiresome, particularly when I'm so puzzled myself by the Bucs recent...

<t>I admit that I am not up on prospects around the league, but what I'm reading about this trade smells of Jason Bay 2.0.  A bunch of major-league ready, medium-talent to throw against the wall and see what sticks/fills a hole.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> If so, this is not a trade you do unless you're ...

<t>There does seem to be a lot more mean-spirited posts in the past few months. Many threads seem to deteriorate into attempts to trip up posters, getting them to say one thing now that contradicts something they've said in the past, then hammer them with that.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> This board is a...
