I’m sure I could get used to the style, but there are no comment numbers!

But wait..if MattPat becomes an optimist, what will happen to William..???

..and will me and thelarmis start chatting about boybands & Broadway musicals? I’m afraid, daddy…

And that’s another thing: I want the old MattPat back. No sir, not liking the new Banter at all.

And actually, If the tabs up top are going to separate the baseball and lifestyle sections, I really like that. There are times when I want to post in one or the other, but its under two or three new posts and no one is in there any more.

Also, monkeypants, things have been added little by little throughout the night, so I wouldn’t be shocked to see the links and stuff back by the morning.

I also have no idea how I became the optimist of the group.

bautista with another multi-homer game.

that’s 54 on the season. (homers, not multi-homerun games. that would be some kind of record, or something. maybe like a double-gatefold vinyl.)

12-2

ROYAL with cheese. Wow. These Red Sox games will be interesting. The utter shit sandwhich that the Yanks have been serving for a month is now Total Bollocks! The division shoulda been an afterthought by now.
I feel like Alice in Banterland. boooooooo

You have to think that something’s gone wonky … the header is now “Retreat” … and not “BronxBanter”.

thelarmis, Friday Oct 1st here already! got my small company’s 4th anniversary party tonight, first night out in a while since (you remember I had some new “developments” at home that arrived one month ago? So Mexican food and Tecate on the menu in 6 hours!

This format is apalling..has the Banter been hacked perhaps? Hope our fearless leader Alex-san is on the case..

It would be beyond silly if we somehow backed into the Division if the Rays couldn’t dispatch the Royals this weekend … but I’d take it!
