Way-back machine (not quite BB)
« on: August 11, 2006, 09:56:10 pm »
Always fun to go check out early incarnations of websites at  www.archive.org  such as  this.  Hard to believe that was the official website... especially compared to  mere fansites of the same timeframe.  Love the Bagwell   quote.

Gosh no, but thank you. I was starting to feel like little more than an annoyance and waste. There are old Bleacher Raps buried in those archives, btw... good re-reads

I concur with Jim, btw.
Another trenchant comment by a jealous lesser intellect.

Thanks.  I enjoyed reading the recap of the top pitching prospects, circa 1998.  Big successes, big flops, and oh for the one who got away-Santana.

Hey look what the cat dragged in Nice to see you pop up for a breath, Nash.

You still have my Astros magazine with Eusebio on the cover, hehe.
