Haven’t talked to you in awhile. Don’t want to derail this thread but you still playing softball or have you retired?

Sat out this year due to shoulder injury. Not sure about next year. Sometimes I don't do anything to it and it still hurts. I probably need to have surgery but haven't wanted to go there. Thanks for asking and hope you are well, Joe.

As for this moderation thing, everyone knows (or should know) that if gets too bad I will step in. Anyone can always PM me. One guy PM'd one time and he was going crazy because someone made a light joke at his expense. I told him I thought it was funny and wasn't going to do anything about it. He wasn't happy. I put myself in his place and it just wasn't that big of a deal. Something about a low ball and a cure for it.

I guess we all have the option of blocking others and ignoring people. I am just wondering where the line is on personal attacks. Many of us here have never even met one another personally. Was reading through the "Outed Cards..." thread and thought some of the discourse was questionable if not inappropriate.

This is where the line is drawn...No Yankees are crossin.

These guys, who are obnoxious and rude on this forum, are very nice in person.

I think it’s just a numbers game. This site has grown into huge numbers and with it comes the jerks that hide behind their computer screens and take pot shots. Kinda like driving in traffic...there’s always gonna be those *ssholes out there that pass on the shoulder.

Ethan-I’ve read most of the threads and haven’t seen anything I would consider particularly offensive about you. What are you referring to?

Hang in there with that shoulder. In April of 2018 I suffered a partial tear of my right rotator cuff. physical therapy didint help much but at the Softball Magazine Senior Camp last Nov a 50 yr old college pitching coach suggested I try Dr. Jobe's shoulder exercises. After 3 months it was almost completely healed. The good thing is that it was my glove hand and didn't affect my swing.
I tore my groin a month ago but it is healing faster than what I expected. I should be ready for the SM Senior camp this Nov.
Im a hitting instructor again.
Life can't be much better for a 70 yr old.
Maybe I'll see you on the softball field in 2020.

I am anxious to get back out there but very well might be out this coming season too. My wife and I are going to sign up at a local gym today so maybe I can start getting back into shape (it's all mental) while injuries heal. And I just picked up new cleats and a nice Nokona glove too. It fits like a glove!! I think my aches go beyond topical . I really need to see a sports injury type doctor.

And back to topic, I agree, we need more dignity and respect around here. As Rodney Dangerfield famously said, "I Get No Respect".

Leon:

I can give you information on a great chiro whom I've seen for the past 20 years or so. He does a ton with sports issues and is a good person. Let me know

What did they replace your shoulder with?
