OK buzzkills. I will attempt to edit myself on this board like i do at work. Still not stealing my thunder. 8)

Don't attempt. Do. Realize that even with the looser standards of a message board and the informal setting here, most of us are or have been professional writers and editors. Some of us for decades, some for literally longer than you've been alive. Communicating your thoughts in a "texty" way won't fly around here. It doesn't make you look hip and cool. It makes you look like a dumbass fanboy with zero credibility, no pertinent skills, and little knowledge of the industry and its standards.
You want to be taken seriously around here? Write coherent sentences. Preferably in English.

Ahh. I have over 30,000 posts, most of which are misspelled and incoherent.
Don't care if people take me seriously or not. I find enjoyment in posting whatever
comes to mind - grammatically correct or not.

Yeah, but your misspelled and incoherent posts are still cleaner prose than this guy's. There's a lot of wiggle room for informality here. I'm not trying to be the grammar police (that's someone else, and a different jurisdiction than the irony police). Just saying, you need to hit more than you miss.
This guy needs to go on a Dimaggio-like posting streak to pull himself up to the Mendoza line.

It's DiMaggio.

Dammit!
Started typing that, didn't quite look right, and I changed it.
Nothing like going on a grammar tirade, then getting speared on your own sword.

Is Dell Diamond Dustin's brother?

That's pretty funny. They could always call the place Screech Stadium.

Was it actually Dell Diamond who played Screech?

So who did Dell Diamond play?

You realize you're supposed to copy the link from the site, not of the site, right? That's a bigger failure than Batman's.

Had a good time. Met Manny, who singled off his first pitch to RF, and yes the free food at the press box was nice. Sirloin Steak!. Last night I went to Little league and watched 10 year olds. Quickly brought back to earth. I still
love this job.

No, was working. Not a fan of steroid era players. 8)

You have some tough choices after this life-changing game with Harvard or an MLB beat at a big-time paper. What are you going to choose?
