First off, I agree with Ken G's comments below and with Tim's as well.

2) I enjoy both the game and comraderie with other GM's greatly.

3) I apologize to Mike for my increased level of venting in the recent past. I had some "stuff" on my end and became more frustrated when one of my favorite hobbies became hindered by various issues and did not have a complete understanding of PB's organizational makeup. I started up a hedge fund a few years ago and deferred taking salary while continuing to make sizable payments to my ex so I know about stress---it can get to you so please accept my apology and

HANG IN THERE-the game is great

4) Lastly on B14: My team, KTS (which for those of you wondering why my teams start with KTS, stands for my three now teenage girls, Kimberly, Tiana and Summer) is the team most badly affected by the B14 mess. I was up 3-2 with Sheets pitching when the guys were sent down to the farm....I liked my chances.

Who knows what would have happened if the games were accurately played. There is certainly a very good chance that my team would have won and gone on the finals against Ternbridge. It is fun to make it to the finals and even better to win there but at this point, I recommend that you declare Ternbridge the league champ and move on to setting up for the rookie draft. I have had my share of League Titles and expect to compete for more going forward. It is disappointing, but the B14 fix should not take away from the start of the upcoming season and my team there is on total hold because I can't trade any players that I could use for what we were hoping to be a replay of Game 6 against Pastel.

Those are my thoughts. I think Mike should keep his teams and I have offered up several "positive" suggestions on the UNM teams, have no problems if the status quo trading policy there stays intact and am willing to take on another team to releive the load and bolster competition within that league.
