Welcome to the Devil's Lair

A plane was taking off from Durban Airport . After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.  Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from Durban to Cape Town , The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight.. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOODNESS!"
Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier.  While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger then yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"
 

Good to see things on a good track for you, Kurt.

Thanks Jon, I really appreciate hearing from sombody inside the SB world

At around 38 years of age, I actually started to listen to people, who stated, there was something wrong with me, not strangers or co-workers, but close friends, and family, but all men inside my family don't see doctor, given broken bones, I was the same way for 38 years, broken bones and stitches is the only time I went to the hospital, not a doctor.

I struggled with my decision to seek a doctor for about 3 months, I finally asked my mother to make my appointment, and she gave me the positive advice I needed, regaurdless of what the doctor wants to do with me, meds or what not, I am in charge. Four medications later, and lots of aggravation with ups and downs, I found peace inside myself.

I would just like to share to this community what Kurt is about, the good qualities I have to offer.

Ivy is dead!

Regaurdless, the past 9 years of my SB career won't be forgotten, it was a roller-coaster

Peace-out
Kurt

I personally hope that you continue to not allow things to roll off you and you take each day as a opportunity to improve on what happened yesterday.  I try to live my life living each day knowing that I cannot change what I did yesterday or the day before but what I can change is how I react today and tomorrow. 

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that all is forgiven by everyone here.  You know that and I know that.  I will tell you that I hold no hard feelings myself.

Take care Kurt.

Kurt - we have struggled with how to create some life in this community.  We have asked around and one of the most common answers is that your behavior has not been up to Devils stuff.  Some of your inebriated rampages and attacks on people over the years we've been here have caused a number of people to not participate here.  So, while I sincerely value friendship - many of us have put much in terms of time and money into this community to let it fail.  Those attacks are not representative of who we are or who we want to be.  While you have calmed down quite a bit in recent months, folks have commented that they aren't going to come back if you are here.  So, this is just a fair warning to you.  I and the other admins here will not kick you out without a vote - we all like you and can look past your indiscretions.  However, we have been asked to call a vote.  So, if the membership at large here wants you to stay - or go- then that will be the final decision.  I just didn't want you to be blindsided.

This was sent to me nearly 18 months ago by Martin, which I truely did appreciate a heads up on and I beleive was an 18-2 vote, LOL, Ivy's along awaited vacation.

I am not gonna sit here and talk about myself, as I have psychiatrists to listen to me. Several people inside this game of SB called me out on that fact, and not evening truely knowing me. The best thing for me as of today was getting kicked out as a Devil.

When I am in public, perhaps waiting in line for a lottery purchasing bandit, it annoys me, but I wait, I finally make my purchase and go on. When I pull into the mall parking lot and a Jack-ass sprints in and steals my parking spot, I say," what a dick' and move on

Inside the work place, I am well respected, for my hard working work ethic, however, I have a limit there, I only go off when I know I am right, or strongly disapprove, I now have FMLA, which alows me to walk off the job at anytime, and it is excused.

The wife understands a bit more from me, I have to have things(household) neat, clean, and organized, to keep me calm. A messy house, just boggles my brain, and I get lost in frustration, I do, do 50% of the cleaning, just to let you guys know, the wife isn't a maid

But Inside SBD and SB, inside my office, without presence of anybody is where I suffered my disorder the most, I treated people inside this community as if they stole my parking spot, or made me wait in line to long purchasing lottery tickets, or just flat out disrespect

I honestly would like to apologize to the who SBD, SB community for my past actions, if there was anything to say, that would fix what I said or spoke, typed in the past, let me know.

I honestly apologize

It's been said, that I am an A-hole, at times I take it personally, other times with a smile . I never really gave it a lot of thought nor cared about how/what others thought of me until I grew up just a little bit, I am nearing 40, and I am nearly done raising the kids, Nick(18), Jaquelyn(17). Reality sets in with an understanding about rebellding as your Teens do, and I am almost done. That was my answer. Rebelled. Why in the hell did I do it and continue to do so throughout my adult years?

I finally went to a doctor who originally diagnosed me with anxiety disorder, high blood pressure of around 150/90. I got put on Meds that calmed me down and lowered the BP, but side-effects which were"nt to my likings, med after med, finally, the doctor sent me to s shrink,,,,thank-god

Peace-out

Ha you bet,  But to be honest i cant explain why im losing so far. Im down 39-50 with most of the damage being taken on Monday regardless of Pujols 17 points from his awesome 2 hr day.

Atleast in my other league im destroying my oppinent 61-40 thanks to the Giants pitching.

All in all, for what it's worth, I think you look pretty good.
Since saves aren't counted, I think the pitching staff should work out fairly good for you.
Do you feel better about Youkilis after he went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI's last night?

It's MLB.com's Fantasy Leagues so the scoring is h2h and the most points at the end of the week wins. Some games though dont count for scoring such as the NY vs BOS game last night.

24 weeks long with a 4 team playoff. they score them with the following key.

Hitters
Single = 1
Double = 2
Triple = 3
Home Run = 4
Run = 1
RBI = 1
Walk = 1
Stolen Base = 2
Caught Stealing = -1


Pitching Staffs
Win = 3

Strikeouts
0-5 = 0
6-7 = 1
8-9 = 2
10-12 = 3
13-15 = 5
16-19 = 7
20+ = 10


Earned Runs Allowed
0 = 7
1 = 5
2 = 3
3 = 2
4 = 1
5+ = 0


Hits + Walks allowed
0 = 20
1 = 16
2 = 12
3-4 = 8
5-7 = 4
8-10 = 2
11-12 = 1
13+ = 0

Seems like you've got some players with good power and some with speed.
Is it a Rotisserie with a Daily lineup?
How does the scoring work?
