Don’t say a fucking word

[ferret]

I really, REALLY, am not looking for any words of return.  

The name is different because we are starting over.

I’m not going to be doing NYCU because it has come to my attention that everyone can follow the roster moves of the back of the bullpen relievers without my assistance.  I personally had enough respect for the majority of you to realize you didn’t need that kind of information, but apparently some of you do. "sigh"

So if you are in this small group who are so stupid that you cant follow along with the whereabouts of Wesley Wright, step to the front of the line so I can hit you in the head with a tack hammer because you’re a dumbass.

Also, I don’t intend for my name to be used to provide ballast for a professional writer who thinks the sports page is a novela.  I only wish I had had the foresight to make my name Fuck You, I’m the Ferret Fuck Head.

Oh and , Spack, fuck off.  Now that I’m out of the loop, I can make full use of the ignore feature.

I’m no longer responsible for populating the front page with content.  In my estimation the significant content is in the TZ, the Minors Forums and the GZ where people can express their ideas and be challenged.  Writing vanity columns and getting hung up on in mid sentence is bullshit.

As for the people who are still doing Recaps, The Gods bless you.   Explaining to people what it is that they just saw is a thankless task. Trust me.  Filling in the recaps for the final months in 2007 gained me no special consideration in judgment nor in my powers of observation.  10 years in this place and I’ve gained no more regard than a Clark.  So starting over is no big deal.  

Which is as it should be.  You are only as good as your last thought and the Ignore Feature is your friend.  I shall be using it liberally.  We pretend this is the best venue for Astros information.  Anyone who believes they are above criticism and debate is making a mockery of that.

Bottom line is I’ve still got a lot of things to say about the Astros and care enough about a number of you to still say it to, such as why is Backe a reliever and who lead him to believe he’d be a starter? And why is Matsui on the DL and who thought he was the closest to being back on the team? Cooper that’s who.  HOW WAS THAT MISSED? The players apparently have to shake the managent by the neck to get them to listen. You can fucking look it up for yourselves because I’m no longer your fucking maid and you people should have learned enough in the last 10 years to do this for your selves.  (A good number of you have become wizard at it.)

Fuck off the Ferret is back .

[Duman]

Welcome back Ferret

sorry, but i liked pravata better. NYCU was a great feature, and pravata was a great poster.

[Mr. Happy]

Even the great Michael Jordan realized that he'd made a mistake going with a new number and went back to his old one. Give it some thought.

[Andyzipp]

Thanks for undermining those of us who put effort in the front page.  Appreciate it.

[Mr. Happy]

Zipp, Duman, Jacksonian, all other columnistas and the recap analysts:

Keep doing what you're doing. I love it and appreciate it. And LOTS of others do too.

It is seriously now with Footer moved on the only way I get any information on the Astros organization.  Every bit of it is very good, the bus ride included for sure.  I greatly appreciate it.  I have a lot of intelligent friends who like the Astros, and they are always impressed with the information I have, and it is solely thanks to this site.  I could know baseball well without out this site, but I couldn't know the Astros as well.  And I've learned a lot about the game here is well. While it may not always be said as "thanks," I think the amount of people that come to the site and the myriads that troll, speaks to how much all the hard work is appreciated.  Fuck, just read Footer's post.  And she's the only other good source. 

[Ron Brand]

I love this site and the information all these sharp folks post too. The only downside is that now I'm so Astro-centric I really have lost touch with what else is going on in MLB. There are only so many hours in the day I can devote to this, but I appreciate it all immensely.

Ashes to ashes, clarks to clarks. . .

I wondered how being a prop for JdJO was sitting with you.  He will appreciate you telling him to fuck off, and may well include it in his next blog entry, you know.

I do have to agree.  All you may have accomplished is let him know that he got to you.  As for "needing" NYCU, I won't go that far.  I did spend much less time looking for information than life without NYCU.  Is that your problem?  No, not really.  But just because you didn't feel appreciated doesn't mean you weren't.

You're welcome.  Cant count how many times what I put on the front was cabrera'd.  None of what I posted was intended to downplay what you're doing.  Nor anyone else who contributes content to the front page.  I did it for a long time and I understand the effort that it takes.

Fwiw, if there was breaking news on the Astros front, I always made it a point to check the front page first. NYCU was one of my favorite features of this exceptional site. If anyone ever used it as a jumping off point to belittle you, well they can just fuck right off.

I think it was this, though I thought Noe was being serious.

Whaaa?  I was being serious.  Am I being accused of something here?  Is *all* this about me?  Really?

[Ty in Tampa]

I think ferret may have been just telling Matadorph to put his praise in the other thread.

Oh, okay cool.  Carry on.

Way to catch up.

Wait.  Are you saying that all this *IS* about me?  If so, I am more than willing to talk to you about it.  Sending an e-mail now.  thanks.

I totally agree with this statement.  It's very helpful and thankful for all the time that each of you put in.

has this all just been an elaborate, jdjo-esque attempt to call attention to yourself and get us talking and thinking about you?

FTR, I shall continue to put as much effort into front page content as I have for the last couple of seasons.
