There's varying layers which are not mutually exclusive. I know a lot about baseball. I've been a fan for all of my life, and I watch a lot of ball. I've coached Little League. I played ball. I dabble in stats [but not to the degree of Bill James, for example]. So what if someone's level of expertise is different? We're all individuals, so OF COURSE our levels vary. I enjoy chatting baseball with friendly people. Sometimes I learn things, sometimes my knowledge is reinforced, and sometimes I help others learn or understand. It's about sharing :-) It irks me, how condescending some people can be. "Obviously, you do not know a lot about baseball." Why is it so obvious? I know a lot about ball, possibly even more than Meg does, and I did not come to that conclusion. By the way, Meg [this is more for moral support since I don't really expect you to return], interesting that you have a blog linked to your signature, but the setting is such that we cannot read it. Afraid of something? Anyway, ladies, a pleasure chatting with ye... Happy Saturday!Charles L.

But glad to see someone stick up for you!<BR/><BR/>You don't have to analyze every single play to prove that you "know a lot about baseball." That's obviously not what this particular blog is all about. I like it. I wish I had the balls to create a blog---I also don't anticipate anyone would actually read it.<BR/><BR/>Your post-game post wasn't exactly as optimistic as I would have expected from you, but I'll let it slide because of how many freaking times they left the bases loaded :(<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305378443941613289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-46628814377026653432007-09-08T09:27:00.000-04:002007-09-08T09:27:00.000-04:00meg--There is no law that says you have to read th...meg--There is no law that says you have to read this.<BR/><BR/>Charles--Thank you for your support =)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08099918567255772685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-39359686796799712882007-09-08T08:48:00.000-04:002007-09-08T08:48:00.000-04:00Do I detect a bit of jealousy there?

You have your [bitter] opinion, Meg, and I have my [cheery] opinion. Meg's opinion notwithstanding, I sincerely hope that Rebecca continues this blog.Charles L.

The bullpen did a great job tonight from Krazy Kyle to Joba to Mo. Kennedy also did a fine job of damage control. Hopefully Andy can pitch well tomorrow and keep the momentum going!J-Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584727085894700939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-38571332813586475412007-09-08T00:33:00.000-04:002007-09-08T00:33:00.000-04:00Charles--I did see the comment, thank you!

Despite all the Eeyore's on PeteAbe's blog, I actually had a good feeling about tonight, especially going to the bottom of the ninth, up a run, and the Great Mariano astride the hill. Good, good stuff, and I am still not willing to concede the division. We may die trying, but the valiant attempt is what matters. On to Saturday!<BR/>Oh, Rebecca, my comment on PeteAbe's got lost in the shuffle, but thank you for this blog. You do a fine job of updating and maintaining it, and it has a homey, relaxed feel. Kinda like we all are sitting around a lounge with cups of coffee or mugs of tea, friends chatting away about baseball. Good stuff!Charles L.
