Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Let me start, by saying I'm sorry I wont be able to fulfill my commitments to our leagues. Let me also say I'm sorry for being a quitter.

Life.

My father once said to me, you made your bed, now you must sleep in it. Actually, that was the last time we spoke, 11 years ago. Well, my bed is too hard, and its really uncomfortable. I just cant sleep in it anymore.

We all make decisions in life. Some good, Some bad. Most, do not play an intricate part of everyday lives. The decisions I have made have all been wrong. And I cant deal with the consequences of those decisions anymore. Damn bed is just way too hard for me.

I feel like I'm letting so many of you folks down. I tried. I really did. I'm sorry. Sucks that I'm gonna miss the start of the MLKL. Was really looking forward to that team.

Everybody has their own demons, mine was my Idyllic memory. The gift of such, is not a gift. Its a curse.

Listen folks. I could go on for hours. Nothing would get solved, or change anything. Please, as a last favor to me, all I ask.

Stop. Whatever your doing stop. Call your loved ones. if they are near. Just hug them. Or smile at them. Tell them you love them. Call the family member that has not been spoken to for way to long and tell them they matter.

That s all people really need. They need to know they matter. That they are loved. That they do make a difference.

Thank you all for the wonderful years of ass kickings. It was a blast.

And thank you to Ernie, who will look after my teams for a lil bit. I would say I de get ya back some day, but, you know...

Forever your friend.

Michael Grammes

Woah, Mike, what is going on my man? I hope you are just quitting for financial reasons. This game is expensive. But, that note man seemed a lot more than that. Does someone have a cell or anything for MG? Someone who can make sure he is OK?

Texted him back this afternoon when I got his text after my appointment. Just left him a voicemail as well.

Michael, not sure you are going to read this, but I hope you'll remember whatever it is you are going through its temporary, I won't blow smoke up your rear and say things will definitely be better but just remember not to seek out a permanent solution for a temporary problem. The tone of you message has me very worried for you. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I reached out via text and Facebook ... But I agree with Niner 100 percent. We are all very worried.

Mike agree with the other guys here, things can always get better, hope you're reading the messages.

I havent seen him on Facebook in a quite awhile

Hang in there, MG. Sorry to see you drop the Strat game, but that's no big deal. Do remember the key lesson of baseball, though, that you win some and you lose some (and some are rained out). Likewise, in the game of life, there's always that next at-bat!

If anyone knows where he lives go or send the police.

Yeah, Ernie, if you can track down a location, it seems appropriate to notify someone. Hopefully Mike is just done with strat - though he will always have friends here - but that's a red flag message.
