12/23/2005: "Site Update Update"

It's coming, I promise. From the front page:

Well then. The spammers have won! The SQL database, when everything was imported and jimmied and otherwise messed with, turned out to be twice the limit allowed by the host. A lot of idiocy and two vaudeville conversations with tech support-folk with accents thicker than Sidney Ponson ("The database?" "Naturally!") later, I'll get a response from on-high about what there is to be done later today.

Speaking of Sparklin' Sid... well, generally, I'd rather not. If everything breaks right he'll be a little above average. If everything doesn't, he's going to be punched in the face by Dave Duncan. The Brian Daubach signing... well, 'taint bad, but he's certainly not The Missing Piece. He's John Mabry, sans history. Up note: he hasn't really been given a chance to flounder in the majors; he wasn't really talented enough to stick as more than a Local Hero and when he left the Bosox it was lights out once his average dropped below .250. He killed the ball in the International League last year, but so did a lot of people.

The thing is: how did Walt miss Mark Bellhorn ($800,000), Rondell White ($3.25M), and Matt Lawton (up to $1.5M and time off to prepare for the Kentucky Derby) ? Bellhorn can hit and stand at second--for the days when Aaron Miles isn't up to fielding and standing in the batter's box--and White and Lawton are still capable corner outfielders, although sometimes Rondell White can't stand. (Your own Sid Ponson joke can go there--I figure I've put enough gags and wordplay in that paragraph.

This is a very good site. It assists me find lots of information on one site. Usually when I am surfing I can find nothing of the kind I want, but this site, gives me lots of ideas on whatever I need to know about him. I agree with the some of the other posts in this guestbook: This site is nicely made - congratulations on a job well done! I want such sites to become as much as possible, and their number increased with every day!

Some great technical advice!! I every morning begin with visiting of your site now. These actions raise my mood and take my words, better than any auto-training. Now I understand, that for site creation it is necessary to be not webmaster, but the psychologist. Your site means much for such people as I. Thanks!
