The Cardinal Sin

Hardball Dynasty! What can be said of a Dynasty with Cardinal sinners at every turn? Like most sports, most everything for that matter, Hardball Dynasty is not without a cardinal sin but PBAHL just might be at season's end. That is if cardinalsin, owner of the Cincinnati Bearcats, deserts his team and city as expected. Sure, leaving a league high and dry is not as painful as being rocketed between the legs by a little man in a red jumper who appears to pack a tremendous punch, make that kick, even rack. However, Hardball Fantasy is left with a sting when the sin is committed. Dynasty leagues are committed ventures and those who sign up for them should be in it for the long haul. After all, how many other leagues are there that do not require one to return? The answer, over a zillion, and any ONE of those leagues would be the more appropriate one for these cardinal sinners such as their founder and spokesperson cardinalsin. "I'm sure my reputation isn't going to take a hit" he claims, but then again, by threatening to leave hasn't it already?

Were not out to hurt the reps of solid and committed, good natured competitors who decide that this is their year to retire. In fact, one of such natured owners was doctorbenway of the Mexico City Eloteros. The Cardinal sin is NOT to leave the league, as it is inevitable some time down the road - although the longer the road the better - but to leave for no reason and as it was so nicely put by cretins, owner of the Chicago Orphans, "try to claim the high road as you walk out the door". This is exactly what cardinalsin is attempting to do and in so doing is on the verge of not only committing it but acting as namesake, founder and creator to the Cardinal Sin of Hardball Dynasty Fantasy Baseball. "At least I'm not trying to leave on bad terms or else I would of just dissapeared [sic] like the other guys did" he says. My response is...whats the difference? In the end you have committed the sin, yes the Cardinal Sin.
