What's this "karma" thing all about?

If you like what someone says or does, you can give them a "karma" point once in an 18-hour period by pressing "applaud."  If, on the other hand, you strongly disagree or think someone is being a jerk, you can "smite" them and take away karma.  lol  It's kind of like the stock exchange - it fluctuates daily.  lol  By the way, there is no limit to positive or negative karma and you cannot rate or berate yourself.

Quakers fall 2-0 at Averett today (3/8) despite surrendering only 3 hits.  Seems the Cougars scored 2 in the bottom of the 8th on a bases loaded walk and a bases loaded hit batsman.  Oh well, that's one for the USASAC.

i think you have to make 200 posts before you can "applaud" or "smite" someone...i'm glad that feature wasn't around in my early days of posting...i might STILL be digging out of a negative hole if that were the case...i used to talk a lot more trash

narch - thanks for the karma primer - I wasn't aware of the 200 post rule.

Karma has very little to do with anythig other than someone taking offense to something you say... I get negative karma all the time... why... because I post the truth and some people are so jaded in their "team-colored glasses" that they cannot see the realities of their own team's flaws. The only reponse they have is to drop a little negative karma my way.

It's the price you pay for telling people things they do not want to hear.

big poppa - i've been sending some karma your way the last few days...could someone send the monarch gloves some karma??? - losing 6-0 to bc right now with 5 unearned runs in 5 innings - freshman kevin branch was on the bump and was actually throwing ok, but his defense let him down - it will be tough for the monarchs to come back - the bc pitcher, #24 looked pretty solid - not often you see a lefthander, with some size (i'd say 6'2") and pop in d3 ball

Narch... thanks for the Karma. As soon as I am able to deal it out I will toss you a few bones.

I have found that the best way to deal with a bad defense is to swing the crap out of the sticks...

Ferrum won a good extra inning game at VaWC on Wed. and then got drilled 5-0 on Thursday by the same team. Only got 2 hits! Narch - this USA South / ODAC thing isn't shaping up the way I expected!

still a lot of games to be played, but....i'm with you so far - part of the problem is what i alluded to earlier in the season...3 game weekends - usasac teams just can't afford to pitch any of the top 4 pitchers beyond tuesday because they might need them on the weekend, so you go into mid-week matchups pitching a number 5 vs. a number 3 or 4 - i think one of the cnu fans said this, though...usasac teams need to start putting a priority on recruiting quality starting pitching DEPTH, and that will help tremendously in regional, mid-week games as well as on a regional/national tournament level - i still have faith that the usasac is a superior baseball conference to the odac this year, and i KNOW that historically that has been the case - mc has won more regionals than the entire odac

I see the mighty panthers got swept today coop got hit around pretty good, 16 hits and allowed eight runs in seven innings.

Shenandoah swept Averett and GC defeated Methodist in the first game.

Capts sweept a double-dip from Castleton St and play Monday at HSC before returning home for a series with GC Saturday.

gc swept the monarchs today...need a win on sunday

keever is now 2-0 vs. coop and brandt...impressive

I gave you some Karma just now as you said some nice things about my guys.  I'm confused, however.  #24 is 1st base and bqackup catcher Grant French so he couldn't have been pitching.  Shaun is #14 and is the left handed pitcher with a pop to his pitch.  Of course maybe they changed numbers for this season.  At any rate, you do a great job of informing us about many issues and good karma flows your way when I am on the board.
