I'm sorry if I've been acting like a major jerk the past few weeks, guys. My head hasn't been in the right place lately and I should be a lot more careful in how I type and write. I don't want to rub you guys the wrong way just because I can't handle some things that aren't going so well in my life right now.
I hope I can earn another chance from you guys as the season wears on but I can understand if, for now, that might not be an easy thing to do.
Accordingly, as things may or may not get resolved here in a few weeks, I may have to take some time off from this, work, and most other things in getting my head right. There are many personal issues that are weighing heavily; though in saying that, it is not a good excuse for behaving this way.
If it comes down to an extended vacation or any of that, you will be the first ones to know as this is by far the most challenging, fun, and mind-bending league of which I've ever been a part.
In the meantime, thank you for putting up with me and don't worry if you have talked about me behind the scenes. I very well deserve every bit of it and am not mad about it.

You mean you're not always an SOB? Honestly, Ruck, you haven't been out of line IMO. After 20 years in social work, I'm used to waiting for people to work through their issues. np

You have not been in private trade talks with me, lol. I admit I read like an arrogant you-know-what most of the time. But I thank you for being kind - always a class act.

I don't know that many people who remember Theodore J. Mooney. I'm 23 and it's sad I know who Gale Gordon is.

You have not been in private trade talks with me, lol. I admit I read like an arrogant you-know-what most of the time. But I thank you for being kind - always a class act. I've been in LOTS of PM chats with you... You're not an asshole, you're a MAJOR ASSHOLE! Seriously though, I couldn't have asked for a better arch nemisis, Kaiser's just a weak no talent ass clown. I'm glad you can take it and dish it. I hope whatever's going on in your life comes through better than before, I know I've walked a long dark road for many years of my life. Ask Bobby Ayala there's no one on the planet that has more bizarre, insane, shit happen to than me. I was in a car accident the day after I graduated highschool, went to the ER then no less than 6 hours later I passed out from the vikadin and was malested by some random girl (I know what you're all thinking..... she was REALLY UGLY, at least what I remember of her) It has compleltly fucked up every relationship I've ever had with a woman, ask my wife sometime. I was esentially raped, I hadn't ever had sex before, it was taken from me. Now I feel that this is a great enough league, and that the participants of the league are so stand up that I feel that we're open enough, and most of us adult enough to not make light of my situaiton (thanks in advance Kaiser), and that if you're going through something that at least one of the 15 other douchebags in this league (but probably old man Kofax most) could offer some words of wisdom.

OK, "words of wisdom" -- and BTW, I really do believe this: God never gives us a burden we cannot handle. If you're going through a real rough time, it's because He knows you have the strength and "chutzpah" to get through it, learn from it and grow from it.
He must think I'm damn strong considering everything I've been through!

Even when my wife was hit by a drunk driver on our 1st wedding anniversary we've turned it into a positive and our relationship has never been stronger.

Except Lee. It's fun to smite Lee for no reason. His karma is all fucked up.

I'm trying to remember and I have not read any craziness from you ever, at least not on our league website. If you are talking about the ESPN boards, I think you(ruck) has his shit together. Those other two I won't mention any names... A bearded fellow and a mean rugged person with a black eye. Those are the 2 to stay away from. In my area we have a 5th floor to house people(patients) like them. You been smited.....
ruck apology accepted and you are awesome. If you need help. Whatever it is find it ASAP. This is something that shouldn't be ignored. Be cool and you will be in my prayers.

i just read this thread, & i think we should change the name of the league to "The View" - waaaaaaaaaah barbara i got raped waaaaaaaaaaah my life's fucked up and i take it out on u guys waaaaaaaaaaaah.. and btw i treat karma like a golf score so im winning at something (since we all know i wont be winning the league).
seriously though, u guys know most of my shit is just joking around right (see previous paragraph), cause im not loved in a gay way from trombones and i cant express how that feels in words. and aparently im a weak no talent ass clown, but don't worry i'll make up a story about how fucked up my life is and ask everyone for an apology, too. i'll showcase my real writing skills.
really though, cheers guys, this really is a great league; looking foward to the start of the season.

Here are quick bullet points to offer you guys some insight as you have been so generous with me:
-- My girlfriend and I have split after it was found she was asking family for money, telling them I "wasn't a steady provider." In asking for this money, she was keeping it to herself and would not explain to me why it was happening. Later, after finding out the reason, we had a long argument about my being "frugal" as of late. I was saving up for an engagement ring on top of scrapping together the odd freelance jobs and my current job... But apparently she did not have the patience for that and, per her words, would have rejected my proposal anyway.
--Speaking of jobs, Jackson was one of many whom I had tapped in search of employment (basically, getting out of Chicago). The reason being that I part-own a wine and spirits store here in Chicago that, recently, is being investigated for "cooking the books" as it were. I found that one of our part-owners has undergone some ill-advised bookkeeping behind all of our backs and will now probably cost us our business. I've had to give a number of statements to the police and to authorities here in Chicago and will likely have to testify to that effect in the coming weeks. Subsequently, I have sold my piece of the ownership back to the principal owner, quit as a manager, and am now using that money to pay off student loans as quickly as possible and move. The only question is... where do I move?
Those are the two biggest problems right now. There are more but they are rather petty by comparison so they don't need to be mentioned here. I thank you all for being cool about it and understanding. When that court date comes and I have to testify, I hope it'll be after the MiLB draft so I don't have to hold anything up or hand over a list to any one of you.
Thanks again guys,
David Ruckman

Thanks again guys, David Ruckman fuck man, sorry to hear all that. (this is serious lee btw). i honestly cant tell u where to move on from here u will have to figure that out on your own. but i can be certain that if u make it thru this shitty itme in ur life u will only come out stronger. keep ur head up, sometimes things hit rock bottom befroe u can start digging ur way out. things have a way of working themselves out. if ur a spiritual person i would sugegst spending some time in church praying, if not u jsut gotta spend some time by yourself and just think. just go somewhere and give ur self time to think. that's all i got for ya. good luck man
