As you probably have seen, "The Wolf" demands in his signature that you should turn the storyline system off. I would like to discuss that in an extra thread.
OOTP Baseball is not a "replay" simulation. It's a GAME which tries to simulate the baseball world and "real life". In real life things randomly happen even to professional baseball players which do not follow baseball rules. Off-field injuries, accidents, family tragedy, "freak incidents", whatever. We want to bring this real life stuff into the game with the storyline system.
Like most other features, storylines are optional in OOTP. The user can simply switch them off if he doesn't want to see them.
It is absolutely valid to like the storyline system or to hate the storyline system.
It is NOT okay IMHO to tell everybody that they have to switch it off. And it's not okay to hijack each storyline related thread with "turn it off! turn it off!" posts. If people use the SL system and think something needs to be changed or improved, they have the right to discuss it. Those who hate the SL system just disable it and stay away from discussions about it.
Just my .02
