December 10, 20169 yr Bartolo and CC each had their own as well, though it was funny to see someone misspell CC's name and end up not triggering the filter.
December 10, 20169 yr Son of Sal. I don't remember Gardy having his own filter but he really didn't need one as the "MInnesota Tail Battlers" forum was pretty much dedicated to him.
December 10, 20169 yr Gardy most definitely had his own filter..... I'm spacing on who the actor was.
December 10, 20169 yr I'm also 99.9% convinced that Sydney Ponson fan was actually Sydney Ponson himself. I remember checking the IP logs and they lined up BIG time to where the Twins were staying at the time. (Minneapolis, Ft Myers and on the road)
December 10, 20169 yr After looking at the Burl Ives album, weren't words like center, humor, and color switched to the Canadian spellings? I seem to remember that.

December 11, 20169 yr A gold glove 2B with a .300 averageMy god I miss that Luis Castillo filter. Perfect.My favorite, and super-fun to fit into a sentence.
December 11, 20169 yr Or Pitcherpottamus Channeling my inner-Dave, I have to take full credit for this one*. *at least as far as my booze-worn memory recalls, someone will have to hit the archives.
December 11, 20169 yr Channeling my inner-Dave, I have to take full credit for this one*. *at least as far as my booze-worn memory recalls, someone will have to hit the archives.I claim Son of Sal, though like I said, I don't think it ever became an official filter. Rather something that just caught on.
December 11, 20169 yr Author O man I missed the turn of this thread. You missed little Nicky punto, bradke, slap single, past a diving Batista... I loved making new filters. Being a mod was fun too, especially since we had a ton of leeway. Those were the days...
December 12, 20169 yr Book it= I want to ravage him sexuallyB.o.o.k i.t.=I'm not smarter than the mods

December 12, 20169 yr My favorite part of BYTO was the Wiki we had running for a year or so. The entries on Canada and Juan Castro were the highlights.
December 12, 20169 yr My favorite part of BYTO was the Wiki we had running for a year or so. The entries on Canada and Juan Castro were the highlights.Lol yes Is the wiki still alive somewhere?The dankind section was amazing as well. Edited December 12, 20169 yr by DaveW
December 12, 20169 yr Talk about going off the rails.... Yeah, this is now a BYTO nostalgia meeting. Sorry.
December 12, 20169 yr Lol yesIs the wiki still alive somewhere?The dankind section was amazing as well.No, we lost the wiki through atrophy. We mostly stopped using it and then the software fell behind the curve, which meant the wiki was flooded with spam due to vulnerabilities. I made a few attempts to save the database but ultimately gave up and nuked it (the thing had ballooned to something like 5GB).
December 12, 20169 yr (the thing had ballooned to something like 5GB).http://www.ladylike.hr/upload_data/site_photos/big1_4105815881031864942158179347_images.jpeg"I demand a hard drive, with five MEGA bytes of total storage, or the whole world goes byyyye... byyyye... in exactly..." (whispers) "what?" "Excuse me, generals. I meant to say, five GIGA bytes..." (whispers) "wait, seriously???" "I'm sorry, give me a moment while my associates... uh, five TERA by-...?" (whispers) "oh, give me a break, ssshhhh, they have those at frickin' Best Buy now?" "What about... five peta... bytes?... Peta? That would be what's extraordinarily expensive to acquire? Good. Yes, definitely. I want a hard drive with five PETA bytes. Mua ha ha ha ha ha hah!!!"
December 13, 20169 yr Author Who wrote that? How, i mean, why do they think i like big women? I remember verve and his wife.... Does anyone remember posting on the espn boards? I don't think moderators even existed then. When did those boards die? It's too bad nobody on this site knows what sluts rule means. Those were the days.... wild and free. Posting while high and drunk in college, introducing noobs to sabermetrics, debating the validity of how clutch Derek Jeter actually is (didn't we have a filter for him?), and if course... watching playoff games.

Posting while high and drunk in college, introducing noobs to sabermetrics, debating the validity of how clutch Derek Jeter actually is (didn't we have a filter for him?), and if course... watching playoff games.I sometimes posted on the ESPN boards, but mostly lurked. Being a lone island in a sea of White Sox fans I needed a Twins community and that was it. I jumped to BYTO when it was formed. Being older and female it wasn't exactly my environment but I still enjoyed it. You guys were all certainly entertaining and it was fun watching you all grow up. <snick>
December 13, 20169 yr Wow. Wish I had known about byto. Sounds a bit more fun....I mean it certainly was "more fun and loose" but to be fair to Twins Daily, BYTO was a much smaller community and nobody was trying to make it into anything that resembled a business, BYTO also had nil when it came to official "blogs" so while it was certainly more "fun" TwinsDaily provides a ton more info/takes/scoops etcIt was a very awesome crew though, there were some epic epic epic threads. I remember when I went by the name: MackBrownSwallows...and JoeThaStud used to flip me **** for my first year about going to school in Oklahoma.Do any of you guys remember when we did the live game "chats" instead of threads for a few months? Those were actually pretty fun.Also we really really really should bring back the drunken rambling thread: Brock had some very memorable posts in that thread, but none could top "rongardenhire"Let's remember a few guys that I wish posted here:Awesome/bro tier:MuskOFXFroDaddyGLamboVerveTroll Tier:DankindStatfreakItstimetotakeitJustanotherfanNarf LOL Tier:RongardenhireTrolPoDPJ Tier:DPJKobs Tier:Klobs Edited December 13, 20169 yr by DaveW
