We get news faster now, we are able to stay in touch with friends who live hundreds of miles away. My business thrives on a healthy social media presence.

I've included a picture of my favorite Johnny Evers, just to break the tension. Enjoy!

Rich- I think you proved my point about things making us lazier. For my (older) generation we actually remember when we had to get up to change the channel on the TV. We remember when phones were on a cord. We remember when we had to write letters, in long hand, to communicate. I agree with you 100% though. I think we are on the same page. My daughter is on a choir trip right now. My wife just looked at her own Iphone and is tracking where my daughter is by tracking her Iphone...as they are traveling on a charter bus. I like technology however I think, like many other things, I embrace it slower than most. In due time maybe we will have F book and Twitter for this forum. Stranger things have happened. If it makes our hobby or this forum better, and doesn't hurt anything, then why not? I am open minded but a bit slow . And here is a Wags to match your Evers...It's all good my friend...and we all share a common theme in a love for baseball!! (though I am hurt and can't play right now)
