Great couple of episodes Tib! Sorry that I did not comment on the last one until now, after I read it things got really hectic.

It figures that the damned media would stir things up and cause problems in the organization. They have been doing that all along in Chicago causing infighting, doubt and trust issues each year among many other problems. I'm not saying that the media is the root cause of the Comancheros problems (they bring plenty down on themselves).

I am glad to see Dave stick up for himself and decide to become a free agent. The writing was on the wall. He had done all he could do here. Between the Chicago media and the organizations inability to get out of it's own way and get everyone on the right track together, there was little likely hood of a Comanchero championship before he retired even if he did stay.

It's really interesting that with all these players being professionals, that for how many years they have succumbed to the medias influence and allowed themselves as a team to be affected so badly by management and the owner (and I am sure that some came in from other organizations via trade, free agency etc being great teammates, having great work ethics etc only to have this suddenly happen to them once they arrived). It seemed to take several factors combining together (them against the world, playing for a contract, perhaps finally some professional pride as well as confidence in on another as teammates that had been missing for some time). I can just hear Davey say "NOW you guys play hard?!? NOW you guys play together?!?
At the very end. When I am near to being a free agent? Why couldn't we have played this way all along"? Then comes back to reality and remembers all the reasons why things were the way they were before and what happened to change things to now. Davey then just does what Davey does and perseveres and continues on his journey.

Thanks again for the incredible story that you have brought to our community Tibs! You are truly a treasure. I only say this because you deserve it. This entire story is more than just just an OOTP dynasty posting. Much Much more! This is a very well written story about a guy that travels through lifes journey growing and dealing with everything that is thrown at him. Baseball becomes a part of that journey, but only a part. I could go into great detail about what this story is all about but you already know about it, so do the people that have read it, and if people have not read it yet they NEED to!

Have a Great morning!
