Final Edition (probably)

Guys, it has come down to this. While I really did have alot of fun doing this in the beginning, and honestly am overwhelmed from the traffic and support that this site recieved, I am going to have to shut it down. To those of you that have grown to depend on some of the information on here, I am truly sorry for this.

It has been a very long season for me. I have had alot of non-BBC things going on lately and the time it takes me to put this together everyday is quite frankly not there right now. Nor is my interest in doing it.

BBC is a very taxing game to play, as you all know, requiring our full attention, every day, for basically 6 months just to play at a competitive level. Lately, my interest in it has dwindled tremendously. The salaries are probably a part of it. As you all know, we pretty much have 6 or 7 of the same players on a daily basis and there is no incentive to do extensive prep work in order to have a good score. Ultimately though, I've just grown tired of it. Maybe the fact that I finally recorded a Leaderboard finish kind of blew it for me. Maybe since I have now been there, the challenge isn't what it once was. Who knows?

It takes me about an hour to an hour and a half every day to put this together, which is really not a problem. Unfortunately, I can not access BBC from work so I have to do the research for this at home and with a wife and two young kids (who are just now going back to school), I simply don't have the time. Throw in little league, cub scouts and swimming lessons to boot. Yes, what you see here is exactly what I use to make my teams. However, when I don't have to write it down, revise it, condense it, type it, etc., I can do it all in about 15-20 minutes. In my world, at this time, that is a hell of a big difference.

I tried to keep up my interest by doing the "around the league" thing, and it helped......for a few days. But in the end, my passion to put extended time into this game at this part of the season is simply gone. Football season starts in 9 days and I know from past experience that once it starts and I am going to games every week, my interest in baseball goes straight in the crapper.

With this being the case, I would rather not do this if the product is going to be sub-par. I have put alot of effort in what you guys have read over the last three months and don't want to bother putting up a weak effort going forward, which is what I fear it will be. As I have said from the beginning, I don't want to do this half-assed.

I would like to take this time to thank everyone from the Country Club for supporting me in this venture from the beginning, for helping me promote it, and for pitching in for ther All-Star Spectacular which I believe was this site's greatest day by far. I also want to thank everyone who has been here, seen value in it, and continued to come back day after day. For those of you that have commented, both the good and the bad ones, thank you as well. I always took the negative ones in stride and used them to improve the site (when they were valid) and the positive ones kept me going much longer than I really wanted to.

Again, this is something I have been thinking about for a few weeks now and I have tried very hard to weather the storm, I really have, but at this point I have no other option. For those of you who are disappointed, I am truly sorry and wish you the best of luck with the game going forward. And remember, it is just a game.

With this said, I will now back away. Thanks again to you all.

FU Kerry Wood!
