Re: Economic Blackout (Feb. 28)

I may have lost all hope in humanity, but I honestly think this boycott is a terrible idea. Not just because people are going to go back to their lives tomorrow, but because it allows people to go back to their lives. What's the best case scenario to be had? We show we have the ability for ...

Which Rays pitchers do I want to target in drafts?

Re: 2024-2025 NHL Hockey season

another thought to add on the goal, sometimes a team just gets beat on the play. For football fans, I likened it to losing on a touchdown when the X reciever hits on a deep crosser against cover 3. Lots of people involved in a play like that who could keep it from being a score, but sometimes the ...

Adam Fox was partly responsible for the goal, yes. And he had a terrible tournament.

Re: 2024-2025 NHL Hockey season

One of the things I think that will get updated after this version is over is not just the backup roster rules, but some more team control over medical care and oversight. The press release from Boston really reads like they are not happy at all at the way his injury was handled

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread

Mariucci gave a really nice, emotional eulogy this morning for Jauron. Said he left coaching to take care of his wife, who had developed memory issues. Stuck with her every day for years (decades?) and was her primary care giver. Couldn't find video online of his comments, but it was good stuff.

Re: Slack

Oh nice. I was just thinking about the mabl again now that I'm getting back into fantasy baseball. Sadly, I suspect you all are still humping the CBS platform for it? At least now I'm only a days drive away. I emailed steve not to long ago and heard about his new place. Sounds nice!

I am willing to play around with a free version, but am not yet committed to paying. Do I sign up if this is the case?

That being said, what makes the swamp is not the software, but the people (which I would love to see some of the disappeared return). And our ability to have new people join is ...

Re: Slack

I filled out the form but I didn't really mean to. I thought there was going to be some kind of questionaire afterwards.

I like you guys but I am also incredibly cheap. I see the economics of it being low on a per day basis, but I'd be hesitant to shell out $80 a year.

Re: Slack

And to clarify, I don't see the free version as an option.
We would hit the message capacity pretty quickly and losing messages is a huge reason I took a 3? year hiatus from this place.

Come on, let's get the band back together.

I fucking had to re-register for this place, man.

Anyhow, dropping in to see what's new. What's new?
Oh, and I'm here to try to steal all of you away to a far off / better place.

If you're happy here and with 15 year old software that runs it, then cool.
