    You spelled curiosity wrong in your post prior to this and criticism incorrectly in this post. Not being dickish, just providing constructive criticism. Also, why did you choose to use "pov" instead of "POV"? You also neglected an apostrophe in "it's" in this post.

    Make that 3-3 for Amador. No extra-base hits yet, though.

    Typed on my iPad; autocorrect didn't catch it. That's reasonable criticism; I wouldn't give it if I couldn't take it.

    You missed a few commas in that last sentence. You also misspelled "curiousity" and "peeve".

    Oh, and nobody gives a **** if it's a pet peeve of yours.

    I have news websites that I just do not like the way that they write anymore. So I just quit going to them, and look for others ways to find my information. If reading the minor league recaps really bothers you now, because of how he writes them, you could kindly and quietly go away

    Please, let's not turn this into another inquest on my writing style.

    The only problem I have with your writing style is your plagiarism of my "Japhet the Hutt" nickname. :grin:

    It is a discussion board. I decided to discuss it. Like I mentioned, if it were his personal website or blog it'd be a different story. I don't even feel like I'm trolling the guy.

    I don't know why you guys read the recaps; I find it much faster to read through the box scores and check fangraphs from time to time.

    Props to tellitlikeitis for doing what he does, though. That takes a lot of dedication for very little reward.

    The recaps are way too long. Each day isn't that important. Skimming the box scores is what I do.

    Just because you're a guy doesn't mean you don't have standards. :grin:

    How much more effort does it take to scroll down past the recaps?

    Jeez guys cmon. I like the recaps. Keep doing it, if only to piss off all the haters.

    Seriously though wtf is everyone's problem?

    In fairness my wife is the Astros bullpen of BJing. :mad:

    Yes. If someone wants to complain about this being treated as tell's blog, you shouldn't comeback and critique writing style and grammar. If he starts writing professionally, the comment section on that site will be the proper place.

    We have enough in this subforum to complain about without directing it at each other.

    This is the Astros forum, lets talk about the Astros, and more specifically for this thread about the minor leagues.

    Congrats to all 4 full-season affiliates on reaching their league playoffs.

    For discussing the Astros. The ignore button is available if it bothers you that much. You've had some great posts/threads about the minors in the past. Don't quit being a good poster just because another one annoys you.

    Uh........ no comment.

    [bigtexxx mode activated]

    I'm terribly sorry for wasting 5-7 minutes of your time every day by forcing you two to read my exorbitantly long posts.

    [/bigtexxx mode disabled]

    But thanks for the compliment anyway. That wasn't even a good bigtexxx impression either.

    What a bunch of g-d damn babies.

    Keep em coming tellitlikeitis. I enjoy having one quick read every day on what happened the night before...rather than going to multiple sites for box scores and recaps.
