Still wondering what the new BCB is going to look like?

Nicely done.

It's much easier to fear the unknown.

Regardless of the future, I found the baseball article in the online edition of the NYT interesting. Starskey & Hutch, oops, Fehr & Selig were called on the drastic increase of ADD exceptions to the stimulant list and appeared to falter. Didn't want to start a diary, but found the article interesting and current. (You may need to register).

So Al, when can we expect the

'new' BCB?

Great cartoon, Mike!

Sometime before the end of February.

We are beta-testing now.

Testing

Hi Al--

Let me know if you need any help with the beta. I have instructional design, content development and testing experience.

Looking forward to the new season of BCB!

Thanks for the offer...

... at this time, they've asked us to keep it to the bloggers only. I'll let you know if I need anything.

Ah, Huey. Where for art thou? I recall a comedian back in the 80s (can't remember which one) describing him as "looking like the kind of guy my Dad would hang out with."

Just as an aside...

I came across this little nugget this morning.

Can Rozner really understand this little about the business of baseball, or is he just trying to bait the casual fan?

I think you answered your own question.

re: Just as an aside...

Looks to me like Bruce Miles needs to give his associate a talking to, assuming he disagrees with Rozner's pie-in-the-sky assertions of course. Actually, a point/counterpoint article in which Rozner and Miles debate the feasibility of the trades in question would make for some interesting reading.

Someone please explain...

...why Rozner's proposal, or something similar, is not feasible. You can do it here on the post I serendipitiously put up on the side.

I'm way more than the "casual fan," but I don't understand why people believe this shouldn't be attempted by the Cubs.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised---totally---to learn that Hendry has looked into it. - TL

but if no one has replied before I'm done, I'll reply in your diary.

OK, I'm listening...

what is so wrong with this?

Our grandparents used to say, "I hope the Cubs win the Series before I die". Now the teenagers are saying it.

This is great

My posts aren't messed up enough as it is ( rushed, no spell check etc)? I doubt my computer will even get BetaBCB.
Well I am a PROUD luddite anyway. No cell phone, no drivers
license, no DVD player ( and I work for a company that sells DVDs). I will go back to my cave now.
