Andy, like the current banner picture.   Check out all the wanna-be Bartman Doosh-bags.

In the last few days, create-a-forum seems to be having sporadic access problems similar to the ones that periodically affected World Crossing.  So I recommend everyone make sure you have our back up forums bookmarked in case the outages continue or get worse.

Thanks for the heads up, it does seem rather slow and I have been unable to get into it a couple times.

System Updates May/June 2011
« on: May 14, 2011, 04:17:30 pm »

________________________________________________________________________
We are doing a system wide update the createaforum system near the end of May/early June of 2011.

This new update will bring many new features and improvements to the Create a Forum system.

There maybe some issues with custom styles as result of this upgrade but we will try to make the transition as smooth as possible.

CreateAForum.com Team

This is why our custom 'black, grey & beige style' has been replaced by the default mode.  Hopefully this is a temporary situation.

I have a question about the picture above. Is that supposed to be somebody burying this team?

Why should he be disgusted? He and Kenny put the team together.

Right, just hold a gun to their heads.

It's up to the player to produce.

Some "talent" just isn't there, other "talent" isn't being put into play.

But if they are underperforming its the managers job to manage the team to get the most out of them. If its a talent problem then its the GM's baby

Most of the blame for this stinky team can be laid at the feet of Kenny, not Ozzie.

As for the banner picture of Ronald McDonald it seems kinda aperpo beings the clown=like atmosphere of the team. Better would be Bozo but the idea is right on.

Was talking to a friend and fellow White Sox fan yesterday. He was saying this team is unwatchable its so agravating.

No issues with Ozzie sticking around... Can Walker. Can KW. Rebuild for 3-4 years.

Maybe try and lure Dayton Moore away from KC... but we all know JR only promotes from within.

The new title with the Ronald McDonald makes me think we're going to get the fat Viciedo, or rather, McDonald's is going to get him and he's going to chow down.  Ronald's apparently looking forward to it.

Once again, the MLB Extra Innings package is offering a free midseason preview from Thursday, July 14 through Wednesday, July 20.

Among the cable MSOs offering MLB Extra Innings this year from iN DEMAND are: Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, Bright House Networks, Cablevision Systems, Bresnan Communications, Charter Communications, Midcontinent, RCN, and many independent affiliates serving fans across the nation.

I'm not sure about Dish Network or DirecTV are offering this free preview.  Someone here using one of the satellite services can answer this questin.

Check here to see if your provider offers the free preview: http://www.indemand.com/sports/mlb/

DirecTV has been advertising it.  I do not believe Dish network carries the MLB Extra Innings package.
