.

I want to take a second to congratulate Rafael122 and welcome him to the board mod community. He's serving as a board moderator for RealGM's Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles boards.

We all know Rafael as a really savvy poster. One who brings a friendly touch, a smart command of facts, and a love of DC-area sports to RealGM. The RealGM community is a better one thanks to having Rafael on board as a moderator.

It's baseball season. Whether you're a Nats fan, an Os fan, or just a casual observer of baseball, please consider dropping by and posting your thoughts. And tell your friends about these baseball boards as well.

Together, we can help build these boards to be among the best in the sport-discussion world.

Welcome again, Rafael. Don't take lessons from Miller on how to become a Global. :-)

Pine

P.S. Off topic - but as an early heads up. I haven't been doing a really good job as the solo Washington Caps board mod. At some point during the pre-season, I'll be soliciting for a volunteer to recommend to board admins to help me co-mod that board. Perhaps two people.

You'll need to be active, have a demonstrated track record of being a great board member on RealGM. And here's a unique requirement - you're going to have to help me recruit new members - Caps fans - to the board. Yeah, I feel like I'm soliciting Amway agents who have to bring their own clients. But I'm serious about growing the Caps board next season and will have more time to devote to it, as my daughter is getting older. Can you bring new board blood - your work/other friends who love hockey, etc - and help us grow the Caps board? Then I'd love to hear from you.

I heard you can pre-order Miller's new book on Amazon in June. Memoirs of a Mod: No One Loves a Snitch.

The Orioles, you mean that arm pit owner who ran the once proud AL team into the ground and blocked DC from getting a baseball team.

Go Nationals... Peter can kiss my ass.

Nominating Zonker as a Caps mod. He can track down offseason interviews in Russian and such and is one of the Caps thread's most active posters.

Thanks guys and Pine for the thread, very much appreciated! And yeah, Orioles and Nats. Can you blame me? Grew up an Orioles fan with no team in DC, Nats came to town, and I'm a fan of them too. And hey, they're in separate leagues!

Freaking stupid me. Thought I was on a PM screen to zonker when I typed a message here.

I'm not logging in the next couple of days just so I can max out on my ginko biloba.

:nonono:

And guys, if you really appreciate Rafael, you'll drop by the Nats and Os board and leave your wisdom. And if you know of baseball fans - among your friends, in your office, etc - refer them to RealGM's baseball boards.

BTW - though on the wrong board, I've already posted this on the Nats board too. I like that the Nats are playing better defense, making fewer boneheaded place on the base paths, and their starting pitching has been good. Can we just start swinging the bat a little better please?

Hahahah I feel like I should do the self indulgent what about me mod thing ;). On another note we could make redirect threads that send you directly to the Caps, Skins, Nats and Os boards here. I believe alot of the posts in these threads would develop alot better if they were actually on there respective boards....
