My thoughts are. .. this is all immaterial until we get Derek on board. He's clearly busy enough right now that I hope he will consider this. Derek? Right, Tim. I should have concluded my previous message by saying that we are available to help if Derek needs us to assist him. Let us know and we will do what we can.

That was blasphemy by the Marlins GM!
I guarantee you Derek is still gung ho about the PBL.
He had a string of events there a perfect storm you could say. He will have everything back in action full force whether it's just him or him and a recruited GM to help him out.

I flat out love this league and Derek is a main reason for that. I know Derek is the best commish out there not doubting that it just feels like sims are a burden on him right now

Give Derek a break. Jeeez. Every time he has stuff going on his life its "the end of PBL" or "he doesn't have the passion anymore."
We all have personal lives, we all have issues. Derek has a lot going on.
If for whatever reason Derek didn't want to run PBL, there are 20+ GM's here that would volunteer in a minute to take over the league and keep PBL going.
If Derek needs a day, two, or ten... Let him have it.

Rays agrees with the Braves, lets just wait, I'm not in any hurry.

Wow, that escalated quickly. I do have a lot going on in my life and business so its entirely possible that the days of 4-5 straight sims are fewer and far between but the cry that help is needed and the league is crumbling is a bit excessive.
Guys, its very simple. We were scheduled to sim Thursday night, I almost announced a few nights off but was going to give it my best effort to get it in. However, Thursday night the Patriots were on and quite simply and unapologetically, I wanted a night to relax and simply enjoy the Pats game without commitment. My kids were in bed, the wife in bed as well and I work every Sunday so have to tape most Patriot games so this is one of those rare times I can watch a game, live without interruption.
I had to take it.
Friday is my long work day and I literally worked from 7 am to 11 pm picked up my son and went home by midnight and back to work at 6:30 this morning for another 12 hour shift.
Hell isn't freezing over and the PBL isn't dying.
If you do feel as though its crumbling, do us all a favor and turn your team over for someone who wants to be apart of something long term. PBL is here to stay just have a little patience and realize my life has changed dramatically so the unannounced day off could be more common than in times past. I always try to announce when I won't sim after announcing a sim but last night there was no time. I'm just getting to my computer now and seeing all this.
I promise its all going to be okay.
(I don't mind a co-commish but problem I have is I hate having to D/L file and not have the one master on my computer at all times.)
