My name is Dave. I've been sitting in 39 a long time. I was on the other board but never really posted. I don't recall my original screen name. I took the name exit 91 around the time of the whole global vs local account issue. When I first started sitting out there, I didn't go out of my way to get to know people. As time went on, I began to meet several people. I would say its within the last two to three years that I've gotten to know a good number of the people that I do. That's why alot of you are probably thinking, Who the hell is this guy?

Welcome, Dave. I actually remember the Exit 91 monicker. I am sure I know you by face, unless I was drunk at the time. Enjoy your stay. As Big Black Brian would say, dont sweat the petty stuff, and dont pet the sweaty stuff.

Would that be Garden State Parkway Exit 91?

With a burgeoning spring comes an influx of new members. I can speak for at least one of them, Lindsey.
Verbose. Passionate, in regards to the grand game of baseball. I have been proud of our baseball chatter on this board, although I disagree strongly with most of it. So the sections do not need saving, but yet another fervant voice is always welcome.
She is a noted baseball blogger, with bleacher ties. She is quite an amusing Facebook friend, with clever posts and retorts. She can and probably will show up in a whole slew of threads here. I already heard, "the board is slow" comment from her, so maybe she'll kick a few hornets nests and spark some new rounds of discourse.
I am mulling over a few other invites to the board, so things may pick up even more around here. Thanks for being part of this board, everyone, and continue to enjoy your stay.
I'll leave the background profiling to her, but as with any new member welcome them aboard, until they piss you off and you want to fight them.

Excellent. Which blog? I've got plenty of reading time these days. Sigh.

Background profiling? weirdo. I'm going to put my 'about me' in bullet point form:
I'm Lindsey. 24. Female. Tarheel. Writer. Blogger. Baseball purist. I love studying the art of pitching. and making fun of people. I have about 15 favorite teams (the yankees not being one of them). My all-time favorite players are the Mad Dog Greg Maddux and Ryne Sandberg. My favorite WS is (historical) 1935 Tigers v. Cubs. (recent) 1995 Braves v. Indians. I'm a leo, and I like smoking a lot of pot.
Last year I blogged for MLB.Com but I am launching my own site this spring alongside opening day. I'll post the link to that once it's up and live.
I'm awesome. Shut up, you!

Hi all - My name is Sue - been a Yankee fan for a LONG time. Had a 20-game season ticket package in the bleachers - my 90-yr old Mom (lol) comes to the games with me (hubby works too late to come to the games) - lost the package for this season because they wanted to relocate me to a package that would have cost me $2000 - can't afford that with things the way they are. Hope to get some tickets through people on here who may want to sell single games sometimes. I'm an Andy Pettitte fan - always have been - Jorgie and Mo too and I'm really excited about this upcoming season - I think CC, AJ and Tex are going to be GREAT. Will miss opening day this year because I don't have any tickets and it's the first time in about 7 years that I won't be there Look forward to talking with people on this site.

Welcome to the board. I hope the fact that many of us lost our enthusiasm over Pettitte does not bother you too much.

Thanks, everyone - I expected a lot of people to lose a bit for Andy - won't bother me, I understand how people feel the way they do. I'm just hoping he has a bounce-back year.

Thats odd. Most of us use the board to waste time at work.
