1 - Sorry I've been out of commission this past week or so, guys. Work/life has been hectic these past couple of weeks/months/year or so! And I may not be around this week, depending if I go to Vegas. 2 - I liked your idea Plaw about having different values for different pitchers. It makes the game an even bigger gamble. It's like playing basketball and choosing not to play Kevin Garnett to spend on the other positions. 3 - I really liked your idea about closers. Instead of wins and innings, they can keep track of saves. 4 - Mark Prior was unbelievable. Too bad the friggin' bullpen blew it. Borowski was put on the DL with a strained shoulder. I think his disability is pitching. 5 - I usually don't talk politics, but I wanted to send an RIP to President Reagan. My perspective is one of an immigrant. I came to the U.S. when I was barely 5 years old, and America to me was the land of opportunity, where life was going to be better than where we came from. It was the most powerful nation in the world, and President Reagan was the most powerful man in the world. For a five year old, that gives rise to much respect and admiration. I have since grown disillusioned by politics, especially recently as I work to pass a bill in a year rampant with election year politics, but President Reagan remains on that pedastal.
A COUPLE OF MY OWN SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE THIS GAME BETTER
6 - When I click on someone else's team, I wish it would go straight to their performance that day instead of going to an intermediary page. 7 - HBP should be scored similarly to walks.
8 - Yep, plaw, I picked Texas. [Insert Crabby one-liner "DB's all alone with his Dickey." 9 - Detroit in 4. Go Pistons! 10 - Well, like I said, I hope to be around more this week. And if I'm not, that means I made it to Vegas! Hey plaw, they got TV-internet at the Aladdin?
And I may not be around this week, depending if I go to Vegas.
