Parachat. Somehow we got 72 votes although there's no way in hell we've had 72 different people go through the chat room. Fraud!!! The good news is that we were able to embed the chat into our web design which makes us happy. What also makes us happy is if you go to the chat page, you'll notice right below the "Connect" button a link that says "Free User Name Registration". If you guys wouldn't mind taking a moment and registering your nicknames it would help. Basically go through their registration process and then everytime you enter Parachat, enter with whatever nickname you registered and it'll ask you for a password once the page loads up. Sweet and simple! If you prefer the floaty window version of Parachat, that's still available. Once you enter the site, there's a button at the bottom that has four arrows pointing to each corner of the box. Click that and you get the popup window version. The only problem I've encountered so far is that once I enter Parachat, it won't let me minimize Firefox. Can't have everything I suppose. TCR donate The final order of business is the annoying ads. We certainly don't want to take your money, but if we could get about fifteen to twenty of you to donate $5 a piece (we need $75 total), once Paypal skims off the top, we'll have enough for the advanced room which eliminates the ads and gives some administration features. You can of course donate just to show your appreciation for the site and all amounts are welcome. Donations of $100 or more get you a date with Transmission. $500 or more you get a happy ending.

whats the point of registering a name?

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:19 pm

no one can steal your nickname and pretend to be you and if we get the paid version then with the admin controls I can boot the troublemakers. You certainly don't have to....

I'll give you a few bucks. The homer dolphin lives on! ~dolphin~

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:25 pm

If we don't get the $75 bucks (or reasonably close) by the weekend, I BELIEVE I can refund your money. But I could be wrong about that....

Submitted by dave on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:32 pm

i don't mind registering (I already did), I was just trying to figure out the benefit of it. i will send some cash - it is worth not having ads.

Donation made. I mostly lurk, but you guys do great work. Keep it up! And be sure to tell us the total amount this fund drive raises over the next several days. :-)

Submitted by The Transaction Guy on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:53 pm

Donation coming soon. TCR League money coming soon, too. Soon = 1, 2 days.

BTW, I was totally stoked to donate $100, but I have this rule against Tranny dates. /someone had to say it ;-)

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:56 pm

oh yeah, finally listened to that tune you sent me jacos, funny stuff. Is there an Internet link somewhere so I can let the crowd know in the Friday Notes. Uploading it and all is kind of a pain...

Anyone else getting a green screen with audio on non-Mosaic MLB.tv?

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:58 pm

And be sure to tell us the total amount this fund drive raises over the next several days. Well if my plan works I'll be owning a small Caribbean island and AZ Phil will be running the joint. :)

Why buy an island when you can buy a historic NL franchise? Priorities, priorities...

Been pretty much a lurker for the last year or two, but now that I find myself checking in daily I guess it's finally time to contribute a bit. A donation is on it's way. Hope to run into you guys in the chat room sometime soon...

I hate how easily the Twins score runs. BB. Strikeout. Funniest stolen base I've seen in a while (you'll see it in Sportscenter -- Jason Tyner literally slid and crawled to second base. He was lucky Alberto Castillo's throw was awful (he threw from his knees, Pudge style) Texas leaguer to right, Tyner scores.

Submitted by Transmission on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:25 pm

100 and 500!?!?!?! When you called me, Rob, you said 1000 and 5000!!!!!!! Harrumph. You do realize, that any amount of money that you raise beyond 75, I will attribute to my enormous sex-appeal. How appropriate is it that a Chicago-related vote has more votes registered than possible voters.....

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:30 pm

90/10 split is pretty fair pimp/prostitute economics...so I'm told.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:32 pm

sweet Broxton struck out the side against Milwaukee, now if they could only come back and take the lead to get him the win it would make for a good fantasy night.

Submitted by Transmission on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:33 pm

Dropping $500 to the TCR fund would also make for a good fantasy night.

Submitted by The Transaction Guy on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:38 pm

Dan Wheeler and Brad Lidge, two of the game's best relievers, get pummeled on back to back nights. That's not a good fantasy night.

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:39 pm

meh...Cordero gets a gift strike call to end the game.

Submitted by Wes on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 04:44 pm

Well, the Brewers are 2-0. The Pirates are an out away from 2-0. The Cards and Astros are both headed for 0-2.

Go Rockies youngsters! Tulowitzki double to right to tie the game, Iannetta single to left to win it.

I'm really starting to like that group, TG. They might not be the class of that division this year.. but just wait around a couple years. Once O'Dowd finally found a plan and stuck to it, it's paying off. He's finally building the right team for playing at altitude.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?
