Not clear to me why you didn't stay a Mets fan after seeing them win the World Series in 1986, but I guess they disappointed you after that.

I think because I grew up in a Yankees family...my dad, uncles were Yankees fans. Nobody in my family was a Mets fan. I think when I was a Lenny Dykstra fan I was still deciding what team I liked. And then my family took me to Yankee games not Met games.

My parents took me to Yankee Stadium several times a year (1955 to 1960), but I always rooted for the visiting team.

Haha well that explains it. Anyway, I'm fully into the baseball season this year.

I hope that the Yankees can overtake the Orioles. I once knew a really obnoxious woman who was an Orioles season ticket holder. (In fact, she had a box of four season tickets.)

 

[Edge]

I know a lot of obnoxious people 🙂...they are really struggling but since they got off to such a great start their record is still good so far.

 

[milagros317]

The Dodgers are in the same situation. About .500 for the last 30 days, but a good start still has them with a very good record.
We need Mookie Betts back, and Kershaw's return would help, too.

 

[Edge]

I think both teams will be ok. Maybe we need the All-Star break!

Yes, we definitely need the All-Star break to rest the bullpen.

Yankees lost 2 out of 3 to Tampa. Another series loss.
I'm ready for my long vacation. I am tired. This week has been nuts.

 

[milagros317]

Dodgers have lost four games in a row. Ghastly. Lead in NL West is down to 7 games. 🙁

 

[Edge]

You going to any Cyclone games soon?

 

[milagros317]

The Cyclones next home game that I will attend is Tuesday, July 23. 😀

 

[Edge]

Oh you got a little while. We have the All-Star break coming up and the Yankees are trying to sweep Baltimore today. Now Baltimore is struggling.

 

[milagros317]

Baltimore deserves to struggle. I have only met two die-hard Orioles fanatics in my life and both of them were horrible people.

 

[Edge]

Well my brother is an Orioles fan but he's not too bad lol 🙂.

 

[milagros317]

Your brother was not one of the two people of whom I spoke. 😀

What happened to the 30 second rule?

 

[milagros317]

What happened to the 30 second rule?

It seems to have been lowered to 10 seconds, which is just fine with me. 😀

 

[Edge]

I love it Mils. With 10 seconds you're rarely stopped from having to click post more than once which I often had happen to me with 30 seconds (I type fast).

I tested how long the new time limit was by having two windows ready to make a post and then making the two posts within one second. The second window said to wait 9 seconds.
Great improvement. I hated when I got the notice to wait 20 or 19 seconds.

 

[Edge]

Yeah that was the worst...actually might even have been worse when you got it with 1 second and you thought you had waited long enough.

 

[milagros317]

Generally, when that happened, I would scream out, "One fucking second? Shit!"

 

[Edge]

Well it's a lot nicer now I have to say 2 huge improvements this year. Remember they redid the whole outlook of the site? It's nice and I can't even remember the old look now. And this 10 second thing is awesome.

 

[milagros317]

The ability to quote two or three (or even more) other posts in my own post is another great improvement. 😀
