Four of a Kind Prospect Draft NO Clock

stay optimistic...
the glass may be half full
but another round has been ordered

Thanks for sharing Mike. I've known you for awhile. It's people like you that make this game enjoyable.

Yes, guys get a little agitated from time to time on the boards, but things are often times going on in the background. Patience is truly virtue.

I tell my wife all the time that I am so thankful for my online SOM friends. It's this game and you guys that takes me away from the everyday realities. Its my time I can focus on the game I love and reminisce about being kids playing Strato on the table with my best friend and then grabbing our gloves and riding our bikes to baseball practice.

thank you Mike for your post. appreciate you taking the time to put things in perspective.

btw wishing you well with your upcoming knee surgery & rehab. hope both are a success & everything works out well.

I have thought long about what I am about to say here before I posted this. I understand that Fred and Elpaso are having a tough go at it right now, we all are. I have no idea what it is but I am sure it is a real problem for both.

The last 3 years have been hard on everyone. I am now out of work because of injuries to my body for the second time in less than 2 years. The monetary cost will be a hardship on my family. My Dad who was in the Korean War and worked in a MASH Unit and cleaned up battlefields taught me why they had 3 Dog Tags told me all the time. You want to worry about something, worry about your health because money is always right around the corner. If you don't know what the third Dog Tag was for you don't want to, trust me.

We are hurting as a people that is for sure. We have lost loved ones and we have lost many of our freedoms. We have seen Governments all across the World suppress it's citizens. We are being swept under the rug as those that have power and take everything from us.

You want to fix the problems that you can fix, pay attention to the next 2 votes in 2022 and 2024. Don't just check R or D and look over what will make America come together. Your vote will matter and stop blaming it on Biden or Trump. We need to stand up and fix this. The Left and the Right are splitting us up along with the media. Don't let them win.

I will be home for 4 weeks before I even get the knee surgery I need before I can rehab before I can go back to work. Don't feel bad for me as like I told the women that scheduled my appointment 2 weeks after my MRI on Friday "Good thing I am not dying" Go back to what my Dad said "Worry about your health, money is right around the corner" On his death bed he said "I am dying but I had a good run" He was 69.

Life is short and we all know that but our children and grandchildren have a lifetime.

Sorry if this post offended you but if you knew me I can't be offended. Like I tell my son "Consider the source always" I had no problems with Elpaso taking a shit during a 4 round Prospects draft and I had no problem with Fred getting pissed. I consider the source and in the last 3 years the source has been pissed about something.

I hope it works out for both Fred and Elpaso I really do. I also hope it works out for all of us. We are losing Managers at a alarming rate and when it takes them 4 days to draft I am just thankful to God they are still here. Worry about your Health as my Dad said.

Mike, have you considered taking over as Commissioner?

That wasn't my point whatsoever.

That wasn't my point whatsoever.

I understand. But you're needed.
