Congratulations, Kovie.

How does the man do it? I'm thinking he's a visitor from the future.

I gotta hand it to Kovie, he worked hard for this Star. Take it from me, the man set his alarm clock to rise himself from his warm bed, in the middle of the night, just to set his basketball roster 2 days ahead of time.

He cut his sleep short, day after day, at the end, just to outwork Surg, Goob, and I.

And not only that, he seemed to have a finger on the pulse of the NBA. His free agent pick-ups were often well-researched, and the correct moves, in retrospect.

He earned this Star, with his dedication.

I've said before that the man's a genius and that he needs to be running the Pirates.

"he needs to be running the Pirates. "

Bankrupt and 130 losses would be my prediction.

I would guarantee a winning team in my first year (no kicking the can down the road) while spending no more than $75 million.

A belated congrats to you Kovie, on your 9th star.

Well done!

But think how lively the PMB would become.

I have no doubt you'd be superb.

"But think how lively the PMB would become. "

Yeah that would be awesome.

:eyeroll

It could be so much more than it is. Why, just think how much better it would be if we had confrontation and disagreement.

I can't help but notice that only Beiser, yourself, and myself congratulated Kovie on his latest Stargell Star. The responsibility for that falls squarely on the Stargell Star Society elected leaders. You gotta stay on these people, Javy, and goad them into coughing up congratulations, to the winners. After all, they'll all want beaucoup congratulations, when they win again.

I gave him a "congrats?" in the Granny Shots thread.

Hold on a second there Goose...

"The responsibility for that falls squarely on the Stargell Star Society elected leaders."

How is it the responsibility of any of us to make someone congratulate another on winning a contest? That has to come from a person's competitive nature, and/or the genuine decency to wish someone well.

You, Beis, me or any other person who has held, or will hold a position, whether in the real world or on an internet message board cannot make that happen if they do not want to.

Anyone can choose whether or not to offer congratulations, if they don't, that's on them.

Agreed Javy, keep up the good work.

I can't wait to feel the love when I win my Star.

Doc;

I'm sure that when, not if, you win a Star, that the board will be happy for you. Some of us are anxiously awaiting that day.

I can't speak for Salarydump of course, but I suspect that he will at least secretly be happy. He may even say something nice?

Ummmmmm.....

NO!!

Well, at least you gave it some consideration..

6 m's is a long time to ponder something, especially when it comes to Doc.
