Call For Help: 2038 Media Guide

Post by RonCo » Sun Feb 17, 2019 10:43 am

Hey....this one should be a great issue, with the addition of the UMEBA and all that. This will be our 65th anniversary edition, so it should be great fun. But I've got a small problem ....

As luck would have it, this year's off-season will fall smack in the middle of a very busy writer's workshop I go to. As such, while I figure I'll be able to put the piece together, and format and whatnot, my actual writing time will be quite limited. So, to be blunt, I need material. Lots and lots of material. I can use about anything league related (newbies/UMEBA folks can check out some of the old issues for examples, but don't feel constrained!):
  • Silly Articles
  • Stupid Stories
  • Fun Newsy Blurbs
  • Poems, limiricks, odes, sonnets, freeform verse
  • Analytical Claptrap
  • League rumors
  • Studies of Key positions
  • News from UMEBA (actually, I'd love to have a league projection from one of those on the inside like Ted/Aaron do for BBA)
  • Historical Look-backs
  • Pet Peeve bitches
  • Pet Peeve Great Memories
  • Stories about your players
  • Stories about your fans
  • Stories about _other_ teams' fans
  • Rivalry starters
  • Articles on OOTP neep
  • Rundowns on managers in a division/league/universe (BBA/UMEBA)
  • The best trainers...or a trip to the trainer's table...or.
  • Stories about your broadcasters, or an Offie piece (eh, Ted?)
You get the idea. Bottom line: most years I can fill in cracks when material is a little skinny, but this year I need help. And, oh, yeah, remember, I've got a PPT checkbook and a pen, and I know how to use them both. :)

I will be giving you a piece on the top/bottom 10 Z scores of all time that you can add your comments on (kind of like you did for the pitching). I will try and get that to you with the spreadsheet I used this weekend so you can have time to play with it.
