You can get burned out on this game for sure. I have considered leaving this too, but the fun of the competition and my love of baseball have kept me here.
Very much missed are the times when a new live league started and 6 or 8 or 10 of the owners were all on at once and you played 3 with one, played 3 with another while they did the same.
Also the big turnover in progressive leagues has become a burden to those of us who run them. It is a lot of work running a draft and when season after season you spend time trying to recruit, posting available rosters and bugging people to join it takes some of the fun away from playing.
habsfan1 will be missed.
One of the cool things about this experience here has been some of the "friendships" that have developed while playing the great game of sim baseball. Good conversations and small triumphs and little tragedies have been exchanged, making this fake baseball thing a little more real.
Not the real thing by any means but to guys like me who think they could run the Tigers as good as Jim Leyland this is a good escape from real life 10 minutes at a time.
I agree szczu, the only thing I'll miss here were the friendships I made. But seems like most of the games I was experiencing in the past 6 months were the "we need to get these in" games, where I was usually dealing with a crappy dumped 100 loss progressive team. Those started getting in the way of leagues where I really needed games in.
There was a time where some of us would get into long conversations about things only to realize both our pitchers were at 0% over the past inning. I would consider playing here again with a number of you, but instead of a 40 min. rule, would be more interested in a 60 max. rule. I don't want to be pulled in to play meaningless games just for the sake of getting it in...especially when some feel the need play 100+ games in these low min. leagues. But, I do think my time has come to leave here. Finishing up a few final commitments, then heading off.
