May 31, 200422 yr This may a lil off topic, but it is very important for me. Just a little bit of my thoughts about this site and the fish. I know that alot of people here have no idea of who I am. Well I am the BigFishFan. I started with this page about 4 or 5 years ago. I heard about it from DasTexan I believe when I was on the "official" MLB.com marlins' site. Couldn't believe what was going on here. Instead of flames there was actually discussions...kinda like you needed an adult card to get in. A little while later I went to OPSU (Oklahoma Panhandle State Univeristy) to play ball. Then in about a year I had to change my username cause I forgot my PW and wanted to argue with Ramp so bad so I made fishfan2...then 3. Then I came home after an arguement with my coach and checked in at the begining of last year and there was an uber update! This site has taken shape from a small fan only website to THE PLACE TO BE if you are a Marlins fan. A few Whitesox fans jumped in during the playoffs lastyear, and being from Illinois myself I totally understand I absolutly despise the Cubs. Not just the Cubs, but their fans who think every win is the 7th game of the World Series (I see you Ohhheeeohhh Maglio.) There are some old faces Admin who is like the GOD of all website creators, to Ramp the one man who I have agreed with 1 time. I don't know what it was but I remember typing "I can't believe I agree with Ramp." Anway I know this has been way to much info about me, I am in a very nastalgic mood right now. I have been boozing it up a little, and having just joined the greatest army in the world I alas I will be leaving again. I am due to ship out July 22 for training and then go wherever God (or the president) bids. I know it is a few months away, but with my rate of actually replying is very slow I will bid you all farewell. I will miss very informitive and entertaining remarks by Uberubi ohhheeeooo Maglio (what where you thinking with that name I can't remember it,) Juanpy even though we got in a lil fight you are very baseball smart, and many more. I would like to give special mention to Hotcorner I remember last year in the playoffs when I was following the game thread against the Cubs and Prior (when we got our tails kicked in) and I was keeping a pitchcount against for Prior at home, and someone started busting my balls because the fish where down a thousand runs and you put them in their place. I know you don't, but it was really great to witness. Then Admin booted them out. Plus 99% of the time I have agreed with you and your thoughts. And Ramp you prolly don't even know who I am, but I simply love argueing with you. You are the only one I really remember from when I first started out, and the way you can have arguements without flaming someone is alot like me, and I love that. I wish I had more time to argue with you more, or I may even agree with you on a few things. I hope I get some time to give you all my thoughts later, but if not...farewell, and congrats Admin!
May 31, 200422 yr Good luck wherever you go, dude. Know that many out there support what you and the rest of the armed forces are doing to protect our freedom and mankind's safety. :notworthy I feel the same way as you do. I was really happy when I found this site last October, as I was previously unable to join a Marlins fan site where I could discuss about my favorite team 24-7. :thumbup for marlinbaseball.com
May 31, 200422 yr Good luck. It is because of people like you that our nation is what it is and we are able to talk about Marlins' issues online. It is because of people like you that we live in the best nation that has ever graced the face of this earth. Be strong and you have my deepest gratitude.
May 31, 200422 yr Good luck man. I wish you all the best, and I thank you for what you are doing for this country.
