What do you all like most about playing simulation baseball? I love being creative with the lineups and the teams. I love mixing and matching, bringing guys up from AAA, setting pitch counts, creating an interesting team. Its fun because there are so many options. And of course I love baseball and stats!

I like putting other people down so that I can feel better about myself.

I like being put down by Booger.  (I have low self-esteem.)

I like reading comments like yours because it makes the two lesser minds that commented just after you, that only seek to tarnish qualitative thought in the forums, in contrast look so much worse.

Lighten up, crimsonblue. booger and zub put more life into these forums than anyone, often including good, sound observations about how this game works.

Qualitative and quantitative, keep it up, guys.

What I like best about WIS is that it allows me to waste hours getting lost in baseball strategy and statistics, and avoid instead wasting hours worrying about the fate of a world and nation that seem yoked to the past and blind to the profoundly different demands of the 21st century.

I take no offense in Boogs and others remarks although it would be interesting to know what he really thinks once in a while.  Doubletruck, it seems like there are too many demands put on all in the 21st century. Its good to have some wholesome fun and a balanced day.

Truthfuly, I like creating teams (drafting) better than managing.  While I like to follow my teams, I could do without the daily line-up and rotation juggling early in the season.  I also like both the analysis and the comradery expressed on the boards, tho that may be technically out of the scope of your question.

I'm pretty sure both of those "lesser minds" are fairly brilliant.  And significantly better at this game than you.

You spell camaraderie and I spell comradery.

Well played, zub. But as an old-time editor, I rarely accept alternative spellings when the authentic article is available. I'm old fashioned in that way.
