Around SBN: Upon Further Review: Bo Knows Longreads

While the majority dont care.....

And maybe some of you do,  I will be giving those that do not like me or feel that I am "childish" ect a real break while I prepare to take very important Medical School Board Exams.  I do not know when, or If, I will return.  This will probably make most of you happy which is unfortunate.  All I can say is thank you to all that have helped me have a truer appreciation and love for royals baseball.  During this potential break I will heed the advice of some of you(Warden, GoBabies, ect) to perhaps grasp a better understanding of what is expected and appropriate.  While I feel I know a great deal about situational baseball as well as in game situations, this has proven to be a stength that needs to be backed up with stats that I am not familiar with.  While I will be memorizing pharmaceuticals and microbiology I dont know if now is the best time for me to be learning about FIP, BABIP, fangraphs and more.  For those I have offended I truly apologize.  I am a very passionate person and royals fan.  I feel that it is a good thing while I also realize that it has gotten me into plenty of trouble on here.  Hopefully and god willing when I get these tests behind me or get to a point of comfort I can learn the stats and numbers that you passionate fans discuss.  Deep down I respect each and every one of you and thank you all for making me a bigger royals fan than ever!  I will continue to read and support this team because that is what I love as do you all.  I sincerely wish you all the best in all walks and lets hope the royals will maybe draw a few more walks in the future. :)

Hey, good luck with your work

Nice post, and I wouldn’t worry. There are plenty of other fans out there and on the board who express their passion in a more negative way. There’s always room for apologizing and respect. Once again, good luck.

Bringing the optimism to Royals Review, it's...

And you're a Royals fan

which is not a Yankees fan, ChiSux fan, Twins fan, ect. We Royals fans gotta stick together!

good luck man

you make me laugh sometimes… and I mean that in a nice way, I really don’t know how you’re alve, because you respond so damn strongly to just about everything!

I hoe you don’t truly feel unwelcome on the site. you don’t have to be a stats guy to post here…

i liked having you around, and hope you enjoy your break from RR

hopefully when you return we’ll be back in first

if you need some help with Micro....

I got t 5 years of graduate school in it, and about 2 months of fellowship going….

Nah just kidding there is no way to actually really help anyone prepare for that unless you had taken them, and alas I merely have my PhD.

Good luck with those, and though it does seem difficult to try and read these new wave of STATs, it helps understand the finer points of the game. Ask devil fingers how retarded I was about WAR, and I still am, but am slowly getting a grasp.

Furthermore you don’t need to know these STATs to post here. I don’t know crap. I tend to post often, though i am a noob, I have yet to feel unwelcomed in anyway. Even if someone shoots me down with, TWSS. (not a real stat, apparently it means, that’s what she said)

I still want to see this; WWWD? What would Wolverine Do? and you don’t want to know.

Good luck again. Enjoyed the posts. Come on back soon, ya hear?

see, you still don't get it!

Your job is to derive the formula for “WWWD”.

If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

I know exactly what Wolverine would do.

He’d sneak into the stadium and make his way to the front office via tunnels and elevator shafts. Then he’d lie in wait in GMDM’s office, waiting for him to arrive. He’d pop his claws and slam GMDM up against the wall, snarl a little, give him the steely-eyed glare…

…then he’d say, “Yer gonna trade Greinke to the Blue Jays for a bunch o’ B prospects, bub, or yer gonna have a new airway.”

Hugh Jackman is Australian

Is Wolverine like Canadian or something? I don’t get the Blue Jays part of it.

I think that's the case

At least he spent a lot of time in Canada in his backstory.

Sorry, they never bring up Wolverine's past in my Biochemistry class

I saw the X-Men Origins movie and I forgot that whole mountain man part was in Canada. And the only comic I’ve ever read was Watchmen.

good luck

I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.

I'm 4 weeks out from my step 1 too

Doesn’t mean you can’t hang around here. If you don’t get away from first aid every now and again your head will explode.

Wishing you good luck with your exams

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!
