I'm starting up a Retro Baseball League with the 1947 Season. We will use the PC Replay Baseball game. Link to the game website : http://www.replaybb.com/PCBBPages/PCBBProducts.htm I have one opening left. That is Ralph Kiner and his Pittsburgh Pirates. Hoping to find a knowledgeable baseball man or woman to take them over. Be the GM, draft for them and make trades. Hopefully buy the game eventually. You don't necessarily HAVE to buy the game at the start. My Excel Spreadsheets should be all you need to be a GM, draft and trade. Link to my post over on the Delphi Forum : https://forums.delphiforums.com/pcreplay/messages/?msg=6111.1 Hope to find someone here, or maybe you know of someone who would enjoy reliving the "Golden Era" of baseball. - Jeffrey

Sorry, moving this to other board. Just needed to scroll down a bit more to find the "Other" section. -Jeffrey

I'm sure he realized that. Who wouldn't. But in the end, he made a financial business decision. It's simply employment to all of them. Take emotion out and insert logic. This pretty much encompasses why I have become sick of pro sports. The salaries are outrageous for all of them. Players, managers, all of them. Especially in baseball where you have the huge salary disparity between large market and small market. Someday it has to all come crashing down.

Why? They obviously have money to burn. Let’s say something happens and the Cubs have to eat 3 years of his contract. Will that keep them from signing a FA or hiring their next manager at $8M again, or even $10M to get, let’s say, Bruce Bochy (no idea if he would be available, just using as example). No. Course not.

Seems pretty simple to me. Follow the money. Remove feelings from the equation. It’s just a job. Pure business decision. Nothing more. I would have done the same.

Really? But 100+ year old Wrigley Field, that actually had concrete falling off, where they had to put up nets so it didn't fall on the fans, is just fine now? Been awhile since I've been in Chicago. Are they still peeing in troughs down there? But AmFam field needs bathroom upgrades?

Wow. If you didn't catch the game last Friday night, you missed a really good college hoops game. Panthers won't be back in town for three weeks now. Then we have four straight home games to close out the regular season. So you still have a few games to come out and see the best point guard in the state and one of the best in the country, live and in person. Including a HUGE game Friday, February 26th against conference leading Valpo.

Tiby will be nearly impossible to replace. He will end up as one of our top 2 or 3 PF ever, if not #1. The Prahl twins will get more time of course. They just offered Norbertas Giga. A JUCO 7-footer from Lithuania. http://www.mrt.com/sports/article_dc702112-b65f-11e5-8d1c-c7393497b4e2.html And I know we have a couple other offers out to JUCO big men.

Me again. The other two D1 college basketball teams go at it tonight at the Arena. Green Bay at Milwaukee 7pm

Forgot to mention it's also $5 ticket and $1 hot dog night tonight. So yeah, a great deal if you like college hoops.

Wright State is turning out to be a lot better than anyone thought. They just beat Valpo a couple weeks ago. So tonight again, if you're not doing anything ... Two of the best point guards in nation are going head-to-head tonight at the Arena. (If we had a local paper that was worth a damn, you might have known this already.) Milwaukee's Jordan Johnson vs Oakland's Kahlil Felder. They sit #1 and #2 in the nation in assists. Felder is also a big time scorer. Jordy scores when his team needs him to. Oakland will try to get the Panthers to run up and down the court. Panthers can run, but not like Oakland and will try to slow the Grizzlies down a little. Should be a great match-up 8pm tonight. If you can't make it down, it's also on Channel 24.

if the brewers left..... The only division 1 college baseball team in the state would get a major stadium upgrade. What else would it be used for? A minor league team?

Or in a couple hours. Come down to the Arena. Conference play starts today at 3pm against Wright State.

I don't know if it's just me getting older or what, but it seems to me, people's driving is just getting worse and worse. Going to and coming back from work, a 25 minute drive each way, I see: - 10+ MPH over the speed limit, probably closer to 15+ over. - ignoring the "right turn only" lane - passing in that far right lane only to go over 1, 2, 3 lanes to take a left turn. - ignoring the school zone speed limit when you can clearly see plenty of children in the area actually going to school - excessive tailgating. I do drive 5 over the speed limit in the middle or right lane. If that's not fast enough for you, then get over in the left lane. That's what it's for. I see these things definitely every week, and most of the time every day. And that's just on city streets. I thankfully don't have to get on the freeway at all. I honestly don't think the police bother to even look for this stuff anymore. On the freeway I see about the same thing. Who knows what a solid white line on the freeway means? I'm going to guess maybe 10% of drivers know the answer. How about merging on the freeway? You see a car coming up the ramp, you are already on the freeway. What do you do? I have actually been in a car with someone who said, "why should I slow down, I'm already on the freeway. They should be the one to slow down and get behind me." That's about enough of my rant for the day. Feel better now. Thanks for reading.

Com'on down to the Arena. South Dakota at Milwaukee Panthers Should be a good game. South Dakota (6-4) has already beaten Minnesota this year. Milwaukee (8-3), well, you know who we just beat last week. Also came within 8 points at Notre Dame earlier this year. If you missed the Sweet 16 team, come out and watch this version. Best we've had since those years. Just $10 gets you in the door. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/panthers/uw-milwaukee-panthers-are-a-team-worth-watching-b99633932z1-362116691.html Thanks for your time.
