So you're saying the only 2 times the Pirates have problems is when they pay players and when they don't pay them?

Reminds me of The Golden Years. I used to write on our previous boartd-

"I dnk what's WORSE-

A) When NH DOESN'T make a move, or

B) When he DOES. @@@@@@

Oddly enough, I have still only been cancelled 2 games, the opening day tickets still keep moving. I have a weekend plan, and so far the Pirates have only had to cancel one saturday and sunday game. If the rest of April gets cancelled, assuming they still keep moving the opening day tickets to whenever, only 5 more games get affected. July and September are the heavy hitter months for my plan, with 10 and 9 games, respectively.

It's me. I don't get it. I just don't.

i see the benefit of an international draft. I do.

But, is implementing it beginning a few years from now that much of a big deal that we can't go with it and iron out the kinks (if there are any) as we go worth holding everything up?

Leaves me thinking, no matter what's agreed to, there's always going to be.....what now?

No wonder I'm not married.
