Getting Hit On
Yesterday I was talking with a secretary at one of my clients and we got way off tangent. She made the statement that every woman enjoys getting hit on, if they say otherwise, they are lying. They want to know "they still have it". My thought was no one wants creepy old guy hitting on them. And of course I do not me this or this or this It would be more like this or with and for the ladies

If we do win this division
Last year I had way too much expectation for that team. After the 0-3 start, and seeing my first glimpse of Billy Botch, the rest of the season never got above decent. OK maybe that stretch in July when we climbed back into the race was fun. This year I a trying to set my expectaions at rock bottom. If I could convince myself that 6th place in our division was obtainable, I would have. But 5th is as low as it goes. Anyone want to here the scenario I built for 5th place? The Tigers had the best off season, Cleveland did ok, add a couple injuries to our core (Maggs, Frank, Lee, Mark, etc.), Ozzie being worse than JM, and we could finish last. So if we can win as many as we lose, that will be fun for me. I happen to think it will be another 3-way with the Twins, Royals, and us. If I really, really had to make a wager, I would have the the division Royals, Sox, Twins, Indians, Tigers. I feel better with the bottom three pick than the top 2. Percentage likely Tigers 5%. Indians 10%, Twins 25%, Royals & Sox 30%. The more I look at our offense, the more I think about Crede, Olivo, and Lee geting a year older, I get excited. THe more Frank adopts a team first attitude, the more excited I get. The more I think about Ozz, Harold, and Joey working the bench, the more excited I get. We have a team to win the Central. Imagine of we were in the East or West. No need to even think about the season.

Looking for a catcher or coach
Just be careful. There are some unethical types out there who will enjoy taking your money and feeding your dreams. Also, read as many pitcher bios as you can find. It's a amazing how most developed by throwing lots and lots of pitches. And finally, look for a catcher who wants to develop his skills. I caught a couple guys for an hour or two a day for months on end. We both were helping each other. We also had a guy who was trying to develop a better hitting eye who would drop by every once in a while to stand without a bat in the box and call balls and strikes to himself. Even though none of us played professionaly, we had a lot of fun. If I was doing it for money, or paying, at some level it would have been disappointing instead of fun.

Know any good Bulls Message Boards?
A lot of hard core Bull fans have been logging here Link Warning: For hardcore fans only. Casual fans are not welcome and probably wouldn't get the site or need it. Remember, I warned the casual fans.

Season must be almost here
Oh, I dealt with it. BTW, same rules as last year? The only change I think you should consider making is allowing a player to be picked only once per week. IIRC many people basically went Maggs twice, Thomas twice, Lee twice, leaving one more pick.

Dow Jones drops 3 stocks
Yep, and I just discovered that no one is making 8-Track tapes in the US! I am also thinking of sewing t-shirts in the USA. I assume people will pay $25 each for a Made in the USA t-shirt

Glad I could help BTW, allow plenty of time for your passport to be processed. It is taking longer and paying for prioroty processing hasn't been all that great either. And take a nice photo
