Hi everyone just wanted to say thanks for this new forum. Stumbling upon this is like walking into a family reunion from back during twinspin forum days and JR's chatroom. Lots of familar names. Looking forward to talking some good old baseball.

Can I ask what your name was back then?
We are happy to have you here. You and Babe are the only 2 females here. That is if you don't count Ken and Jedi as females....

I remember Adam, he was definitely full of wit. If I remember correctly he was going to college then just kind of disappeared just before the tyrannical takeover of all team message boards by the MLB.

That's true, Gracie he was just launching off to college, and if I remember some tragedy befell him. His best friend or something was in a fatal car accident....I think...can't exactly remember the details...He was the first one to call me "The Minister Of Reason." Very witty indeed. Well anyway, welcome Gracie...glad to have ya here....

Coach have you tried to contact Coop, or are we mad at him? I can't keep up with the sh*t-list anymore.

I was here in the Twinspin days too. I was a newbie when Adam was whealing and dealing his witty remarks. I tried to get him to spar with me a couple of times but he wouldn't throw any remarks back at me.
I'm not mad at Coop. Coop flew the coop on his own. He lit a few fires and left. He's welcome back here anytime. I haven't contacted him.

Welcome Gracie, always glad to have new members. I think I joined twinspin about the time Coach did.

Actually the roots of this forum group trace back to the Delphi forum that the Astros had back in 1998. When I started in 1998, I remember Adam, Spud, Dirtshirt, Fatfan, a teenaged girl (can't remember her name), Coop and Waldo. I thought Ken was there too but maybe I was wrong.

I go back to the Twinspin days. I've had almost as many usernames as Coach. Coach and I also have the honor of being banned from a certain other "forum" we never posted on. From Twinspin days, I remember Fatfan, Bullpen Betty, AstrosAlways, Lott Stop, Baseball Mommy, Shorething, Adam, JamesA, and Ken was also around. There was also GlenM, Johnny45, MrJedi, and some others that I don't remember. We lost our good friend Lamearm who was also on the Twinspin board and others with us. We'll miss him. I look forward to Beachbum and Beachbabe posting here. I'm also glad that we haven't been blessed with the presence of certain people who will remain nameless.
Whatever happened to Dirtshirt, CC Going for the Cycle, and some of those people? I'm sure I'm forgetting some that I should remember.

Ah...Bullpen Betty. I so remember her signature when they were building Enron/Minute Maid was "I love mow lines". Dirtshirts down to earth wisedom and quick wit was great. I always enjoyed reading his posts. I have seen the thread about lamearm with a sticky up at the top of the forum. I tried to reply but couldn't. LamearmJr if you are reading this please know that I am so sorry for your family's loss. I always admired his way of being so straight forward you knew he wasn't full of BS. I didn't know him personally but from his posts when speaking of his loved ones the love for his family was obvious. I love the fact you sent him to God with the equipment to fix the electric problems and a baseball. Only thing missing was duct tape and barb wire. Where I come from those 2 items were essential to fix anything. May your hearts be filled with the good times and memories of your father and God bless.

Oh Yeah, it was the delphi forum...that was the one that was before my time. I was active in theTwinSpin forum. Like Coach I showed up in the forum class of the '98 season. There was a cat named Paradox also in the early days. Pretty good baseball mind, but he got the redass, when JB showed up and would actually have an opinion different than his. Pretty funny.

I remember old Paradox. Turned out that he and his weird sister were up to all types of crap. Do you remember Reds4ever, Astro Baffoon, and Hetero Doxy?? LOL

Paradox is the same guy as Waldo. I'm trying to remember what the girl's name was. Hetero Doxy was a black militant kinda guy. JB, did you let Mr Bitter know that we are on this site now? I don't have his e-mail address. Isn't he the guy on this station www.espn1420.com/page.php?page=local%20shows doing the 7-9 am show?
