I'm rooting for you but only because I am 100% convinced that you are actually Charlie Kelly irl

Wouldn't scrotos be Charlie Kelly irl, seeing as how they both have a tendency of writing in fractured sentences?

So if anyone wants a super cool contending team you should call dibs

I'm glad I can add "drafted an MVP" to my resumé, but I'm disappointed that only six other people recognized the value of an OPS over 1.000 from a catcher

But two other people voted for Damaso so

So how many dimaggio dynasties have I helped create now?

I know I helped Wad, but I also helped out natedogg too. I also gave some help to soxxyport, and lord knows Jefferson got some serious help from me in the old days. If nasboat wins this world series, it's entirely because of me.

gardenald: Jul 23, 2007; In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

Dryb: Jul 30, 2007; What did I do?

I think I'm going to bow out as well. Haven't really been interested in HBD in a few seasons, and it's kind of taking it's toll on my rebuild.

Steve Sweeney winning MVP softens the blow of Graham Abernathy winning the other MVP

So we're losing goetta, Ivan, and dryb, plus non-goons in Baltimore and St. Louis? Yikes. Apparently we have a waiting list though, of Tavarin, and "some Dodgers guy on Twitter"

Hoping we can find three more quick, we're starting to hemorrhage owners, I think 9 in the last two seasons now?

Interest is waning in the game in general because of a lack of time and resources put into it by WIS. Add that to the fact that we have some good owners who have very entrenched good teams and it seems like a mountain to climb for a lot of new players. Not only losing, but just getting plain blown out is not fun. Not much we can do to help that though other than mentoring new players and hopefully unlocking the autistic part of their brains that makes this stupid thing fun.
