    Lol - However with deep concentration and focus and with much help from Ms Mother Nature , she finally got me over the elusive 2 inch mark for the first time in months... However that may have been the max , I highly doubt 3 inches is attainable....

    At least you’re realistic, that’s very impressive.

    Yeah this one was a real nice event for the I81 Valley area..... Finished with 1.40 , almost double any event since January... Actually up to 2.10 for the month now... First 2 inch month since yep January...!

    I’m terribly sorry to hear that. You know they have medicine for that.

    I'd assume our 50 frees are relatively similar then and your breastroke is a good bit faster than mine, I do take you in 100 free with a mid 47 to your 49. Either way those times aren't that far off what you'd expect today, the 100 freestyle is by far the biggest difference with the state cut being a 48.4 now. 

    Why did my breaststroke get deleted?. Michael Phelps can vouch for me.

    Ok, so the story about this guy...if there are any doubts everyone on staff will confirm my story

    So back in day, his name was Earthlight here.  Good poster, knowledgeable dude, from the Philly forum.  We liked him.  So we put him on staff.  So we started to notice that the Philly forum was getting a bit light.   Eh, no big deal.   Come to find out from a few anonymous PMs that this dude was using his position to poach Philly people from this board to his own...the entire time he was a moderator on staff here.  Look, people are free to start a board and go wherever they please.  That wasn't the issue.  It was that he was a trusted staff member here and was actively poaching members and never resigned and was active in the mod forum.  That was years ago and it's funny now and I'm sure he's a good guy...but back then we were all competitive and engaged in the stupid board wars of the early 2000 teens.  It was a fierce pitched battle.  Many died.  A true widow maker. We've all signed a treaty of Versailles, so I'm sure that will never happen again.  A war to end all wars.

    But all of us admins are over the entire thing and I wouldn't even care if he posted here.  We just thought it was a shitty thing to do at the time.

    Didn't he recently shut down his board?.

    Burnes trade was a great addition. Looking at the peripherals, in his "off" year, Corbin still put up a solid 3.32 ERA and his H/9 was equal to his Cy Young year a few years ago at 6.6 H/9. His biggest outlier was the BB/9 which jumped from 1.8 -> 2.3 -> 3.1 from 2021 (CY) to 2023. That's a stark rise and I think some of it has to do with usage early in career and resorting back to his mechanics of old prior to 2021. I think the coaches can right the ship and get him back to where he needs to be. He decreases the walks, he'll be a major player for us in competing for the next few years, minimum. 

    Unfortunately he is a free agent after this year. But he is a true ace and a top 10 pitcher in baseball. I hope we can resign him, if not a one year rental still gives us a legit shot at a WS ring this year. Amazing trade.

    It’s def not fun to have. But I’m glad I checked to be sure as I don’t want my family to get it.  Or I hope they don’t. Will do everything they say to and just try to enjoy 5 days isolation. At least I’m not missing any snow!!  Har har

    Feel better fast. Sometimes some alone time isn't the worst.

    I don't know how many diehard O's fans we have in here, but as one myself, I am fired all the way up! I love the fact they're including sports legends like Cal in the ownership group as well, gives more hope that this ownership group will care about the product on the field! 

    I’m beyond die hard. I haven’t been this happy since Ron Jeremy put out his first film. Between our prospects and the money the new ownership group will spend we should be good for a long time to come. I’m so looking forward to this upcoming season and the future ones. Finally 40 years of misery should be over.
