I've been working on an idea for a few years. I've yet to speak it out loud to anyone, and I refused to give any details to the other guys, which led them to start competing against me.

What's holding me back is the investment. I'm honestly tired of investing my own money, time, and energy into this market, only to deal with the type of chicanery that I've been calling out. And that's business, especially when you're number one. I just don't have the same incentive I once had to be the best in this industry.

Who am I spending the money for? The group of commenters who are under assignment to prop up my "competition"? Do I create the best local resource for a media that works hard to shadow ban me due to my refusal to take a lesser role beneath them? Why build up visibility for a game that would never give me the time of day, less I opt to be a sycophant follower and not a leader?

That's where I'm at right now. I don't even care about the game of baseball, outside of work habits. I know baseball better than most people in the game, but I also know this game needs to move closer to my level than my need to lower myself to the depths of their sinking ship.

So, for now I'm selling truth, and forcing the Pittsburgh media to match this bar I'm setting. Their choice is to reach for that higher bar, or watch me take over this market again.

Have not got to the park yet on account'a it's raining so much here in Toon-Town.

Probably not going to for a little bit yet because I'm heading down to D.C. tomorrow to protest the visit of the El Salvadorian president. So, if I get disappeared, someone out there needs to know they usually fly you to Louisiana before they put you in that crazy death camp in El Salvador.

So... you know.... If I'm not posting here tomorrow, it's because they didn't like my sign, I guess.

AND I don't wanna miss my mini-sunshine break at a down south beach either.... Anyhow, I really want to see Solo, Barco & Termo! but me-n-the Curve are taking some time off. If I make it back on a home week, you'll be able to find me out in the Rail Kings section with a hot sausage (or two) in my hand.

Until I return alive.....
