If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.
This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.

Here is a video report from Milwaukee where many Major League Baseball players are claiming Milwaukee's "The Pfister" Hotel is -- well, haunted. "The Pfister Hotel" is used to house visiting team players in town to play the Brewers. Several have had very strange experiences while staying in the hotel, like hearing voices, feeling a presence in the room, and locked doors opening on their own during the night. The video talks with the Brewers Mike Cameron, who is convinced the 116 year-old hotel is haunted. . . . . (Watch Video)

Please add me to the Ping list!!! I’m a huge baseball fan. Pretty please. . .
Classic case of dumb jock.
Isn’t there a Motel 6 nearby?
Glad to do it. You’ve been added. :)
Many thanks. My MLB screen-name is GiantsPrincess!
The human mind sees connections between things it sees as important. That ability gave us mastery over wind, fire, and animals. But it still takes a determined mind to view the world with pure reason. We knew about Socrates for two thousand years before the scientific method became standard. It is hardly universal now. I offer the current president as a demonstration.
Our ancient cousins confronted a world without understanding why things happened, yet convinced that somehow A leads to B. For example:
“Why didn’t the copper melt in the fire?”
The obvious answer is that the fire wasn’t hot enough, but try to determnine that without a thermometer. So the answer is that he sacrificed a chicken to the fire god instead of a duck, or the wood wasn’t piled the right way, or it was the wrong wood, or it was the wrong source of copper, or the wrong man tried to melt it. Maybe he wasn’t wearing his magic sandals. All of those avenues were explored, and it took thousands of years to figure it out.
And when the hitter goes cold; when the pitcher can’t get a strikeout on the batboy, then that human ability starts to work. ‘Why can’t I hit a ball out of the infield?’
No player will admit that his ability has gone. His mechanics are the same, so there has to be some other reason. He’s as good as any pitcher out there. He’s sure of that, or he wouldn’t be playing for money. Even when he tries to force himself to accept a cold streak as a normal part of the game, his mind is turning over what happened and asking why.
So he puts on his magic sandals and when he starts to hit again, maybe that’s the reason.
I have not followed the Giants for the last few years as much as I have other NL teams but for a FReeper and all around good lady I'll pull for them as often as I can (except when they are playing the Cardinals). :)
Ghost Ping!! Thanks to KoRn and Artemis Webb for this one!
Thanks for the ping!
We’re going camping at a (supposedly) haunted campground next week! I’ll have to tell you and the ghost list all about it when we get back - if there’s anything worth telling, that is!
Cool! That all makes sense!
I got to get me some magic sandals!
