He is now approaching the mic and getting ready to speak. " Wow, I am really excited to be here.It has been a dream of mine my whole life to become a general manager in a major league baseball organization. I never thought this day would come and here it is. My main goal hear is to turn this underachieving franchise into a winner as quickly as possible.I will do this by any means nessasary.I will trade anyone to which ever team only to make this team better. With the help of Mr.Pinella i think this team with some changes can make a run at the postseason. And now as soon as the press conferance is over with i'd like to get started."

Pinstripes1125 Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 AJ A HIT IN TAMPA The AJ Burnett Press Conference went very well at the Trop. AJ seemed very happy to be a Devil Ray." This is a great oppourtunity for me to show that I can be an ace in this league. It doesnt bother me that I got traded because it shows that the Devil Ray organization really wanted me.I cant wait for the season to get underway." AJ is expected to be named the opening day starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesleyanCowboy Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yankee4lyf, I don't mean to butt in here however I feel that sometimes in modern society inconsiderations among people mount to the point that I have to say something... I guess this was just my breaking point. Anyway, to the point: while I was not privy to any previous discussions between yourself and Yankee4Life that may have occurred I feel that his request for you to change your username is valid. While I understand your point that you did not know that he already had that name, and, I am sure your feeling that you should be entitled to express yourself is more than valid, his request (at least what I saw) was polite, phrased nicely, and in my opinion not out-of-line. Yankee4Life is an Admin on this site, I am sure he works hard (along with all the Admins and Modders) to make the site function for all of our benefit. To change your username is not much to ask of you, it does not effect your utilization of the site in any way. However, as Yankee4Life stated, people may confuse the two names and with his being an Admin, this could cause problems for him and other users later on. I also must say that I feel your response of "Get lost" is completely childish. He made a request to you in a polite way (from what I saw), you should at least provide him the decency of replying in a polite way to him. Private Message him to discuss the situation and see if an agreement can be reached or find another solution. But do not lower the entire discussion to this mud-slinging level. Anyway, that is my two cents, I know it was not asked for and if anyone finds it not-appropriate I am sorry... I don't want to cause problems or offend anyone, I just want this site to be a better place for all of us. -Cowboy ::EDIT:: Yankee4lyf, Your most recent post about "not trying to start a fight" is, in my opinion, at least a good step in the right direction. I hope you guys can work something out. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
