I definitely agree! Love the creativity.

I will post a pic of some of my things, in a few days. It's a "timing" thing. You'll see why.

I have heard rumors that we have another new member here - when will we hear from her?

Hi everyone!!!! My name is Deborah and I bleed BLUE!!! My dear friend, Linda said I just might like this forum, and I do believe I've found a new hang out.

I've loved baseball for longer than I can remember. My dad told me recently that when I learned how to walk, the first toy I wobbly walked to was a plastic baseball bat. I call that fortuitous. I was born on the day and year that Walter O'Malley signed the agreements to move the Dodgers from Brooklyn to the west coast.

I live in Maryland, but my heart is always beating for Los Angeles. Thank you for letting me join your group. I'm ready to do some reading about the upcoming season.

BASEBALL RULES!!!

Welcome Deborah! I know you are the wonderful fan Linda raved about after her trip to the East Coast. Hope you will enjoy chatting with us about baseball!

Hi Deborah! Gotta say your choice of fan color is different than mine, but they let me in here, so I suppose I have to do the same (insert sarcastic face here). Very glad to see you join us and look forward to some baseball talk. I'm the token Reds fan here Smile

Looking forward to a good year, and I do believe both our clubs are on an upswing - with the Reds just a bit ahead of your guys in blue.

Welcome!

I wonder where did she go?

I don't know! I think I'll contact her. I had hoped to have some company here. Sad

And I see her posting regularly on another site, too. Sad

I sent her a message before my trip. But I never heard back from her. Sad

She seems like a nice fan, though and I know you spoke highly of her.

Maybe she applied the "one and done" label to herself.

Sad

Lol - well I hope not - but we need to get more members here if the ones who are on are not going to participate.

Just FYI - I have tried to contact the poster SPA many times ever since she joined our group back in January. She seems very interested here but has not responded even once to me - so I think it is safe to say there is not interest anymore. I really did try to reach out, though Sad

Linda, I know you said she had some family stuff going on but I cannot imagine why she would not even respond just to say she would come back sometime (if she planned to) - or at least just to acknowledge I was trying to reach out.

Most of my female Padre fans friends are not big on fan forums and usually just check email or websites for the information they are looking for. I know, I have tried to get some of them to join but many are just not "forum type" people. So it looks like we are down 1 more poster.

Okay, thanks. I'm not sure why that is. She's on Facebook quite regularly, so I guess she decided against returning to join us. That's too bad.

There are quite a few here I haven't heard from in awhile.
