Amen. One of the best parts about being affiliated with this site is that guys like Erik can sit down and hammer out something like that. The people who write here all have different styles. I'm more spray paint, wall and graffitti while a guy like Cass is an artist at an easel.

I'd like to have that play in my book.

That article is as good, if not better, than anything I've read on the entire Lebacle.

[swerb]

Agreed. Great stuff Erik.

[motherscratcher]

I agree. Really nice. So many great writers on this site. (I didn't know Cassano was Papacass either.)

I've come to spread my idiocy far and wide on these here boards, but even if there were no boards I would visit daily for the articles. They're what brought me here in the first place.

Peek, I love your stuff too. One of my favs, and I'm not just kissing ass either. Because, let's face it, why would anyone kiss your ass?

In other words, don't sell yourself short Peek...you're a tremendous slouch.

Years later it would be the choice that set him up for life, buying him a legacy, making him Cal Ripken Jr., a trademark for anything good in baseball.

But what if, like LeBron, he had left? What if he fled Baltimore the way James forsook Cleveland?

The thing is, he never would. He was always destined to be Maryland’s Cal Ripken. And doing so made him bigger than hoisting three Yankees World Series trophies possibly could. When he broke the sport’s consecutive games played record, he did so at home.

It was a moment even George Steinbrenner could never have bought.

I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber Mother. Didn't want to do it. Felt I owed it to them.

By the way, I'm having a party this weekend.....

Excellent read, Cass. No joke, got me right in the pump.

[Hi Oktane]

Great piece, which made me realize that: LBJ = A-Rod

Thanks for the nice words, all.

It really was that hard to write. I had to pick it and put it down at least four separate times, then re-read it three times. I'm used to banging out columns in 1-2 hours with no breaks. This was a lot different.

Rich, if TCF wanted to make some money off of LeCarpetbagger, I think we should, as a site, comb back through the archives and find maybe the 100-150 best LBJ-themed columns from the past four-plus years, and make a book out of it. We could all chip in and cover the cost of self-publishing it. You could sell it in the online store, and maybe we could cut a deal with some local bookstores to carry it.

Maybe we'd have to wait until the anger dies down some more, but when everyone around the area calms down and wants to look back on the evolution of the LBJ era in Cleveland, it would make for a good keepsake.

I'd be happy to contribute to this any way I can.

So are massages.

But they aren't absolutely necessary.

Anyone want to take two Witness shirts down for me???

I'll be honest that part of me finds humor in all the bums in Miami wearing Witness shirts and 23 jerseys.

Semi brilliant marketing idea, Ziner.

SD has to do what's best for SD and i'm really torn over the decision.
