Yost_of_ChristmasPast:   So, Mike, how's spring training going for you?  How do you like playing with the pros?
WhoIsMikeJones:   Pretty good I guess.  There's just something I can't get used to.   It's hard to explain.  
Yost_of_ChristmasPast:   What do you mean?
WhoIsMikeJones:   Well...okay, this is Major League Baseball, right?  I've seen games live and watched it on TV my entire life.  I know I'm new to the chatroom, but this can't be right. 
WhoIsMikeJones:   It's like, I know some players are better than others, but it seems like everyone I talk to here is either REALLY REALLY good or REALLY REALLY bad.  There's no middle ground.

SheetsTheOne:   AAAAH AAAAAH
WhoIsMikeJones:   SEE?  What the Hell was that?  And furthermore, why are you guys always screaming?  You're giving me nightmares and shit. 

 

 

Yost_of_ChristmasPast:   Look kid, if you've got a problem playing professional baseball you're going to have to take it up with somebody else, I'm in the business of winning ballgames, participating in elaborate pun setups, and occasionally parodying movies. 
Yost_of_ChristmasPast:   And though you can't tell from my facial expression I am right pissed.   Now if you'll excuse me.

Yost_of_ChristmasPast has stepped into an empty elevator shaft. 
WhoIsMikeJones:   Ugh, whatever. 
WhoIsMikeJones:   Hey Derrick, can you believe that guy?  I just wanted a normal conversation.
