Quick update

by Scott Christ on May 21, 2007 1:04 PM EDT in News & Rumors

I'm kind of dealing with some personal stuff that I don't want to get into, but that's why I've not been around much the past few days, and there's a chance that I might be kind of spotty for a little while here. If you guys could help keep everything running smoothly, I'd really appreciate it. I might get into touch with a couple of you to see if you want front page abilities, too, like zknower has.

Anyway, thanks, guys.

re:

Yeah, I was going to get in touch with you to see if you wanted front-page. I assume you're fine with that? I can probably get that done sometime today.

Sure

We have AM off of duties this week for state testing, so I'll have time. And I'm home with my kids for the summer, if needed.

We hear ya...

Take your time but hurry back, dude. Meantime, we got your back.

Oh, and keep your hands where we can see 'em.

Yer pals,

Good luck, SC.

We'll keep things afloat (by Orioles standards, anyway) here.

Hope all is well, Scott

The Orioles will still suck when you return.

Like Titov said

We got your back. We're Baltimore folks. We won't hesitate to lay down some violence on your behalf.
But seriously, hope everything's OK and we're here if you need us.

by 2632 on May 21, 2007 3:02 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah

You need violence, you got it. I've got 9.something seasons' worth of pent-up rage ready to be unleashed.

...Dude, you're the peanut butter in the fluffer-nutter that is Camden Chat.

How could we NOT wish you good luck and hope you come back soon?

We're here for ya...

I'm sure that we'll keep it real here while you're away... It won't be easy given the surreal nature of the majority of the subject matter, but we'll try!
Good luck to ya.

Took off runnin' but I take my time...

How do those bat thingys work again? We just totally forgot!

Just keep

that youthful enthusiasm coming. We need it during this season. I used to be like that, too. Until 1979. Damn Pirates. I still hate disco.

Anyone know Davey Johnson's number?

ya

I was also hoping to maybe do a few game day threads. :)

I support you

As much as I can support a random dude from the internet.

That's not meant to be cold. I don't generally care about internet people, but you seem like a cool dude. I hope for the best for you.

by pipkin on May 22, 2007 1:11 AM EDT reply actions

Good luck dude.

Handle your business and come back to the madness that is O's baseball. Hell, your posts are half the reason I come to this site. As much as I enjoy other O's sites, this one is unquestionably the most, "real," like I'm sitting around with friends bs-ing about the game on tv.

re:

Yeah SC, hope you're back soon.

Duck has control? Oh man, just remember duck "Rank does not confer privelege or give power. It imposes responsibility"

CAN ANGELOS!

by drj on May 22, 2007 10:25 AM EDT reply actions

Control?

Hardly. 2632 and I will split duties on Gameday threads. That's about it.

Sure, we know have the ABILITY to do more, but I seriously doubt we will. I may choose a diary or two to front page if someone posts something newsworthy or especially entertaining, but that's about it.

This isn't about to become a benevolent dictatorship, don't worry. We're just keeping the place up & runnin' until SC is ready to assume full powers again.

Anyone know Davey Johnson's number?

by duck on May 22, 2007 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions

Hopefully

the biggest change you will sew is I added the Games Back amount next to the O's place in the division. And if I hadn't told you I added that, would you have noticed? :) That, and a general drop in the quality of research and opinion in the Gameday thread header. I'm just not as good as SC, and won't ever be.

Speaking of which...

I wonder what ever happened to LB3. Is he still here under a different name?

if he was still here

i think we would have noticed, due to his...distinct writing style.

by 2632 on May 22, 2007 11:48 AM EDT up reply actions

I think he

was the driver of the radio flyer that contained Audry and Deneice.

No wonder he split this between the two of us...

and thus...

...the prospect of a 2632/Javylicious catfight lurches ever closer, much to the delight (and to some, the horror) of Y-chromosomed Camdensteins...

by 2632 on May 22, 2007 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions

I know

Just trying to see if that'd earn me a ban from the site. I didn't want to go the LB3 route.

by Stacey on May 22, 2007 4:41 PM EDT up reply actions

nah

You are crucial to the Millar for Manager Movement. Plus, you always use the direct address comma. And I dig that about you, Javylish.

I'm a stickler for good grammar, 2632.

What can I say? It's easy, it's fun, and it makes the world a better place.

by Stacey on May 22, 2007 4:54 PM EDT up reply actions

It's all fun and games

Until Scott returns to find Camdenchat in civil war.

duckenheimerschmidt...

did you change all the lines about our "heroes" on the left side bar, or did SC before he left... or did Mrs. Wright herself do that?

Never touched 'em

Only think I changed on the left side bar was the O's record, position in the division and GB. Swear to God.

If it was up to me....

we'd sponsor Kiko Garcia, too. Once heard a game on the radio where he fouled off, no lie, 17 straight pitches. I counted.

by duck on May 22, 2007 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions

I remember that.

Kiko was the man. One of my all time O's faves.

The part about loving The Todd

should be a dead give away.
I believe it is the work of SC.

by 2632 on May 22, 2007 1:50 PM EDT reply actions

Ok... I have a confession...

I'm a little bit disappointed that I wasn't even considered to have been given front page privileges... granted I wouldn't have been able to do it, but it's nice to be needed. boo hoo.

plus, SC thinks you stink. he told me so.

well in that case...

c'mon on now. i didn't say I thought you stunk. i think you smell like roses and fresh laundry.

You're right

I guess SC just has a nostril problem... or maybe he burned his tastebuds on his morning coffee. 'Cause obviously I smell like nothing worse than 1 1/2 day old banana peels.
