I like baseball and really enjoy watching it but it is a commitment to watch an entire game sometimes. I wouldn't be opposed to a "pitch clock". If the batter delayed the game it is an automatic strike and if the pitcher delayed then an automatic ball.

Being a baseball guy, I fully agree with that recommendation. Back in my day this in and out of the box, adjusting gloves, wandering around the mound, etc. would get you a stern reprimand from the home plate ump. Next time you did it you could be tossed. Many a game got done in 2 hours or less. Pitch/Batter clock would work well and take the guess work out IMO. I love the game, but the delays are mind numbing.

What other major sport does the team with the ball play defense?

I don't disagree. I just don't know that it will happen. There will be traditionalist fans who won't be happy about that. We'll see.

Good point about the disagreement. However, it turns out the pitch clock and limiting coach visits to the mound is gaining support in some high places in MLB. Manfred is a tad more forward thinking than Selig even if he was Selig's pick. The traditionalists, like I tend to be, need to get out of their own way on this one. Baseball has a great deal of international interest and top notch players that needs to be expanded as soccer has done. They need games to average 2.5 hours or less. The game's evolution slowed it down. They need to reverse that trend.

So its been 5 days since I sent the paypal requests. We are still at 8/12 paid with the season 17 days away.

Ill go ahead and call those out who haven't paid:
MockingVol
cawVOL07
BruceWayne
govols09

I've conversed with them through email so hopefully they just haven't checked their email recently. We'll need everyone to get everyone paid before we can draft or play. So hopefully we can get this resolved soon. Draft still tentatively set for Wed. 08/27/14 at 9PM EST.

Looks like your striker problems are solved, but it was just Burnley.

Oh definitely, not the best of competition. But Costa can play some good ball if he keeps his head. SCHURRLE can play the forward spot well too
I won't be surprised if the still make a transfer, not necessarily another forward, but some type of offensive wing or midfieldrr.

Apparently the injuries Torres suffered really messed him up. That dude was great, he and David Villa were my favorite players for years.

Currently working on adding some money to my paypal. Apologies for the delay. Finished up my summer job today with a good run 7 days of 12+ hour shifts.

Can't wait to go back to grad school.

Boom. Sent. I no longer feel like a degenerate.
