I have to agree with Rob on this.

I have always found Mike and Dwight to be excellent at responding to my questions and concerns on a timely basis. Their responses have always been helpful (although not always what I wanted to hear)and have explained where my confusion arose.

Remember. it is a game. Either enjoy it as such, or quit. The constant whining about one bad game or series here and there detracts from the overall enjoyment for many. At times my teams perform differently than I expect, but so do Major League teams. That is what I enjoy about the game. High PB value doesn't automatically guarantee winning teams, just as high salaries don't guarantee winning teams in real life (ask Peter Angelos).

I want to congratulate Mike and his staff in the improvements I have seen in the game over the 2 1/2 years I have played. I have learned from my mistakes along the way, and understand the nature of the game better. This only enhances my enjoyment of the game.

I hope Mike and his staff keep up the good work. They should be able to read this forum for constructive ideas, instead of the constant whining.
