The canucks read "White Fang" a lot.   London isn't a canuck but, because it's set in Canuckada, the canucks don't really know any better. 

I'm pretty sure Canadian lit is in paperback.  With lots of pics.

Would an arsenal of great pitches ( 80+ ) make up for poor ratings vsL and vsR?

Depends on how poor.

Hes projected 51vs L and 68 vsR... not sure if he'll get there though.

I've had success with guys like that.   Too bad about his VL.  Otherwise, I think he'd be a solid 3.

Most similar guy I could think of.   Except for that VL, your guy is better.

How quickly will Bernie decline over the upcoming season with 20 mill in Training?  Will he be a highly effective starter for this entire season?  What about the following year?
I'm trying to decide whether to sign him, or just take the comp picks and save the money (7.5 mill per year for two years)

An article in the Globe and Mail draws attention to findings from a Canadian Council on Learning study that suggests the number of Canadians with low literacy skills will climb 25 per cent between the 30-year period between 2001-2031. Of four major Canadian cities studied (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa), Ottawa is expected to see the larger increase in population of low literacy adults, "an 80 per cent surge from more than 275,000 in 2001 to nearly half a million in 2031."

Will you be subscribing to the Globe and Mail now?

Will the Globe and Mail go under since, apparently, a boatload of Canuckleheads can't even read a subscription card?

Hey Mike, I (like many others are) am currently sitting on two teams in leagues waiting for people to join for what feels like... an eternity.  Is this usual in HBD or has the opening of new worlds really affected it that much?  What should WIS do, if anything, to correct this?  What is the future of the HBD world economy?

I'm not sure I've ever watched Ghost Hunters.   I assume he's trying to prove that the ghostly reflection is just the dashboard lights.

He smelled the meatfarts.

He probably won't decline a great deal during the season.   Pitchers seem to hold their learned skills fairly well.   A couple of points in pitches/splits.   He can probably pitch another two seasons effectively at the end of a rotation or as long reliever.  And by "effectively" I mean somewhat similar to what he did last season.

Nope.  I'll just wait for your updates.

I'm not sure they read well enough to be subscribers now.

There is always a problem this time of year.   School "drifters" have gone back to school and cut back or dropped their teams.   Football is starting up and I'd wager a vast majority of owners play fantasy football and/or gamble.  Baseball is ending and, not surprisingly, interest in baseball games decline.   WifS would do well to learn from the situation(as they have not).  If I were running the show, I'd open a max of 4 new worlds a year until it was proven, without a doubt, that more can remain viable.  I'd open them every 4-6 weeks beginning in Feb(when the Super Bowl is playing).  As for the HBD world economy, I've been saying this for a very long time:  Excellent worlds will fill quickly.   Good worlds will fill eventually.  Mediocre worlds will take awhile.  Crap worlds will remain crap worlds but, sooner or later, aliases will be created and they will fill.    That's why owners should worry about the health of the world over the health of their team.  Wrecking teams while building your back to back to back 120 win team is a bad idea.

Mike Tyson has said that his biggest regret in life is not smoking weed with Tupac Shakur.  One would think that his biggest regret should be the rape he committed that landed him in prison, or biting Evander Holyfield's ear off during a fight, or any of the other despicable acts he's done over the past 25 years or so.  But I digress.

What is your biggest regret in your life?
9/9/2010 10:41 AM
I'm not sure why you expect Tyson to have a more logical "biggest regret".   Looking back, I would have liked to have been nicer to women when I broke up with them.  I was "Hey, that was a nice run but I think it's time we move on with our lives.  Good luck!"   If they accepted that, we were good.   If they rejected the idea that I was breaking it off, I could be pretty mean.  I felt a simple "GTFO OF MY LIFE!!!" would be better than some "process" that women seemed to prefer.  I just didn't want to go thru the 2 weeks/months/years that it would take them to accept we weren't a "we".

Are you a "liberated male" now that you've unloaded your guilt over past relationship failures?
