Where's is macdaddy and brooklyn_mets!!, the loyal Mets fans? After all these years I'm still friends with Macdaddy on FB. I pm'd him but didn't hear back yet.

Andrew was always my favorite intellectual. I remember him being very supportive of me through email and maybe AOL a few times as I struggled with some things. I think of him from time to time, because I do believe my life would have taken a completely different trajectory had he not introduced me to the concept of questioning religion. Not sure whether that would have been good or bad, but I definitely owe him a tip of the cap. I second this. I don't know why, maybe because I was so new to baseball, so the whole history of it was so innocent and magical to me, but he really made an impression on me. He pointed me to a book that was basically my Bible for a couple years, a 20lb. book in detailed chronicle of the history of baseball. I don't know where it went, might have gotten lost in a move or another... I should amazon that and find it again. He was a teacher, wasn't he?

Anyone remember/know EymaJesusfreak ? Ya, didn't he use a name with Pettitte in it for a while. Dude did not like hearing anything contrary to his belief structure. I think he was misunderstood. I used to chat with him on aol. Then he got serious with his career in Church and didn't log in as much before stopping altogether. Outside of netsports he was a really good dude.

Another one I wonder about is yankeesfan52288 (or something like that). I used to get into it with him all the time, and then talked to him a little off of netsports. Then lost contact with him.
I remember Netsports folks better than I remember most of the people I grew up with. Ha.

Then he got serious with his career in Church and didn't log in as much before stopping altogether. Outside of netsports he was a really good dude. So, I remembered Brandon had invited me to this a while back and I completely forgot about it. Then tonight I came across something on Facebook that reminded me of it so I came by to check out ... The Sports Pub. Ahhh, the memories. BrewinBucks - Pettitte46, TheMick, eyemajesusfreak ... I was young, immature, and said some pretty ridiculous things, and I'm sorry. I wish I could go back and undo a lot of the conversations I had with guys like goreds, scooter, andrew, and so many others. It was a learning experience, for sure. Like BrewinBucks said, I graduated from college and went to Seminary to get my Master's Degree. Then I pastored a few churches and realized that I hated it. Now I'm 3/4 of the way through a doctoral program, working on a dissertation that has to do with how the church can use social media and technology to connect people to one another and to God ... and I've taken a pretty progressive/liberal turn on my faith, as well. And the best part - I got married in 2010 and we had our first baby a year ago. Life is wonderful and I'm in a much different place than I was all those years ago - and that's a good thing. Thanks to everyone who put up with me. HA! Hope you're all well. SaveSaveSaveSave
