Enough of this mushy welcome crap. Get in the baseball forum.

Budworth22 said:As for ace... poster "hinesward86" clearly busted him three times for outright lies involving his soccer record. And he now has claimed that 5 games in total were "fixed, or funny", etc.
The General said:There is a misconception in the air. Let's clear it a bit. Bucs could lose 400 units in bases and we are still happy having him here.

We need all the good people we can get at EOG. It is nice to have worked with Bucs in the past and know what we are getting. Had he been a losing capper in bases for the last 3 years, I would have still been happy with his coming here to EOG. He brings a good work ethic and good initiative with him. Those things are very important to me.
Thanks Bucs
blue edwards said:pete, i know bucky has experience as a moderator and that he is willing to grade contests (which is a lot of work that i would never want to do) and...you know i love you but...:+signs8-7 . call a spade a spade. you know that bucky was brought over mainly because he is a great baseball capper. if not, why did i get an email from eog today that said "announcing the hire of the #1 documented baseball handicapper on the internet"?
i dont disagree with the decision to hire him away from the r/x or his decision to accept the offer. happens all the time in every industry and there is nothing wrong with it...its the american way. shrinky is trying to increase traffic at this site and i'm sure this will do it. he's trying to create a win/win situation and if it works...its all good.
however, dont blow sunshine up my dress with this "he could lose 400 units" crap like his skills as a baseball capper are not important and "its just bucky the moderator that we hired". if that were the case, why not overpay for dante?
The General said:We offered Bucs a job here long ago. Early in the football season. He declined. We never mentioned baseball at the time. Bucs is a good moderator. Put that in your dress pocket and have a nice day. :+waving-5
MadCapper said:Blue,
I guess the only way to know forsure is if Bucasfan starts the season 15-32 and the views on his thread go down.
The General said:Blue, you know I love ya. This is all very minor. I am not going to discuss salary.
BTW, I finished reading Mathew once again yesterday. Thank you.
