Fuck the Yankees.

Laugh out loud.

Thanks for giving us the chance to get to know you over the last 12 years, SR.

'Here here' is not the correct spelling. 'Hear hear' started off as 'Hear him, hear him' or 'Hear this, hear this' in the British Parliament but by the mid to late 18th century it'd been shortened to just 'hear hear'.

stoneroses86 (stoneSANDERSONroseseightysix),

I know I'm not your favorite poster OF ALL TIME, but I liked reading all of (MOST OF) your posts. You definitely have a way with words. I love your style....can't wait to read more of it.

You're clearly a good dude, despite your (POOR) taste in board members. Judging by your board history, you're a great dad most importantly. Sending you all the great thoughts I have, I've thought about you often, even before this thread.

Peace, man. Looking forward to your next posts.

Sorry to hear this. Looks like you're at peace with yourself. Hope you pull through.

Very brave post and attitude. I am truly sorry for your troubles. I still hold out some small hope of something awesome after this ride is done. I hope you find it and have a blast.

You're the best, SR

Do not spend another moment on ugly sentiments like regret. Whatever happened was always supposed to happen and ushered in better days. This life that you have been given is a gift

Never give up...like Bucky F'ing Dent

As a man of faith and a sportsman I am sure you are familiar with Paul's words to Timothy:

"I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith"

had the glorious game of baseball been invented in Rome rather than the greatest country of all time, Paul would have certainly included that he battled until the last out.

and later in Corinthians:

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

What a wonderful post. My best to you and your family.

stoneroses86 - I'm really at a loss of words to have to hear about what you are going through. I always appreciated your insightful posts back in the day. I wish you peace, comfort, strength, courage, faith and love. Do not give up the good fight.

I want to echo the sentiments of Mr. Reason, Stoneroses.

Although I have never met you, I find the news you have shared about your declining health absolutely crushing. It has had this effect, no doubt, due to the vast quantities of pure joy your posts have brought me over the years. Your warped, satirical sense of humor has often provoked fits of uncontrollable laughter in me. Thank you for lifting my spirits on countless occasions through your brilliant writing. Like Mr. Reason, I wish you the best on the road that lies ahead of you.

Tough to read sir. It would be nice if I could provide you with some level of understanding how fun your style is to read. How much it has been copied over the years. I laughed out loud when you changed your signature so that it included all of the Glorious New York Yankees world series victories and it was so long you made it impossible to read any thread you posted in. You took over and didn't even try. Then you graciously changed it for the community. I cannot offer one (1) piece of advice for you. I can only intimate how much fun it is when you join the fray in this space on the internet. Thank you for that.

Continue finding fun each day sir. I wish you nothing but the best.

Dude.....

Wow...if you didn’t tear up a bit and gain some perspective reading that...sometimes we forget how short our time is here and we take it for granted. However long you have SR...I have no doubt you will make the most of it!!

SR, I've never personally engaged in a conversation with you on here as far from I remember but I have always liked you. Your rants about Aj Burnett always made me laugh. I always loved how much you care about baseball. However, sports are even more irrelevant right now than they usually are. Your post moved my heart and I think I speak for the rest of the board when I say we love you and hope for the best. Beautiful post. You are in my thoughts.

Good luck SR. I'm rooting for the Yankees if the Cubs don't win
