The time has come. I'll leave the show after this year.
I guess I will have to make room for the young players.

Brent Gates is not recovering as fast as I have
hoped! So expect his injury to last about 7 more days.

Dear Sir,
Willie Greene shouldn't play at AA !
He has an AVG of .143 over there, that might
be a sign that he has been promoted to soon. You
should demote him before he gets burned.
