[mlblover15]

ok all im here to tell you that with the release of mlb the show 07 i will be starting up my DM page once again. i will be doing a franchise with my beloved Oakland A's as i have for the past several years over there. I have already gotten the team roster up and march Schedule done as well. im currently working on my first article, yes i siad article. unlike in past years im going back to my roots on dm and doing articles and not first person journals. i felt that it was time to go back to what brought me to the dance so to speak.

so i will as always be updating you all on every time i update my page with a new article. you can feel free to go and check it out now but there isnt much to look at as of yet. once again i want to thank each and every one of you that have and hopefully will follow my page all season this year as you have in the past. as for new fans that might follow i hope that i make a page you can be proud of wanting to go read when i update...

thank you all and ill see you all soon as my first article is ready for its debut.

A's updated!!!!

NO, your NOT dreaming or having a nightmre depending on how you see my page and or writing. there is actually a new ARTICLE up, yes i said Article not journal entry. i wanted to thank Diesel for proofing and editing this for me... hopefully after time and getting some of the much acumulated rust of my writing things will start to be better for me but it will be a very slow and PAINFUL process for all of us to have to endure...

well, thank you all for reading, and any and all feedback, comments, concerns, and suggestions are as always welcome and deeply and greatly appreciated. enjoy!!!

Re: mlblover15's Oakland A's

Hello all, just wanted to give you all an idea of what to expect and kinda when to expect it. In years past while running my page on DM, I’ve been like a raging out of control wild fire. Trying to go too fast too soon. Only to be burned out on several occasions. This years approach will be different. I will be pacing myself like never before on DM while running my page. I will not be attempting to put out an update EVERY day. I will however have two things in the works now, one is finished and ready to for posting and the other is in the work up stages in my mind.

Feb 16th: will be the first ST article of the year. Profiling the pitchers and catchers reporting to camp.

Feb 21st: will be the second ST article profiling the position players arriving at camp.

After that it is best guess as to when I get the first ST game article out. The game hits shelves (without unforseen delays) Feb 27th. Actual ST games begin for the Athletics March 1st. This is where my pacing comes in. Seeing that I will want some time to get used to the game, try out sliders, etc it may be a few days or a couple of weeks before I get out my first ST game article. Once I get that done things will hopefully ramp up so to speak.

Now over on DM the new HOT trend is to do MAIL BAGS for your teams page. For those of you that may not understand what that is ill explain. You set up an email account for the readers for which to send their email questions to you about your team. I will be running a weekly one over on DM. Which means that once I post my final game of the week (game schedule not real life) I will begin to work on your email ?’s to answer and post them in what I will call.. “Athletics Weekly”.

You will have several options on when you can send questions. You can either send them right after you read the mail bag article, or you can wait til later in the week to submit your questions. There is only one thing. If by the time I post my final game of the week and your question you want to ask isnt submitted in my mailbox, it will be answered the following week.

The information I will request for you si the following when submitting ?’s.

First name and Last Int.
Age
City and or State you live in

I will be doing my very best to give the best answers to each and every question submitted by each and every one that sends them.

Thank you all for your continued support and readership. Any and all feedback, questions, concerns, etc are always welcome and greatly appreciated.

Well i read it and i couldnt help those non Oakland A's fans that read my page to give you a little bit mmore in depth info. so I borrowed a idea from a fellow DM'er and borrowed an article from MLB.com and gave full credit to the writer and the site for it. i did not write this, but i thought for some of you it would give you a better idea about the team and expectaions for rhe upcoming season.

enjoy...
