![]() Lord knows baseball needs to do something to drum up interest. No longer our teams run by total idiots (sorry, Jim Bowden!), and most teams are at least in decent shape, with clear direction. Unfortunately, the MLB has changed quite a bit. You know, with that 5 year gap between saves and all. Call me a masochist, but I feel like I’m up to a challenge. So to find this team, I do things the old-fashioned way- simulate a year into the future, and find a team with a garbage farm system and an even more garbage big league club. Although truth be told I haven’t watched baseball really since high school, so my knowledge is lacking. I even bought a fresh shiny OOTP 18 to help inspire me to see this through. I try to take my inspiration from the legendary cknox( ), but I’m just a pale imitator. I will be continuing the tradition of my last two failed dynasties of taking over the team in the league with the least amount of hope and trying to turn them around while writing way, way too many words about it.

But then he begins to stir, before rising on his knees. The moment of truth…it hits him straight in the back with a THWACK, and clatters to the floor.įor a moment, the man is still, and maybe he really is dead. Suddenly a wood panel dislodges from the ceiling, and falls as if in slow motion, headed straight for our mystery man. ![]() Is he sleeping? Is he dead?
