Ouch.

I hadn't noticed any, but, hey, whatever pays the bills. Some BS users are baseball fans too.

Just between you and me, sources tell me this is part of this site's transformation from BigSoccer to BigBaseball. Gradually, Huss will begin to phase out soccer discussions from the boards and replace them with baseball discussion. Before you know it, MLS forums will be MLB forums and the Serie A forums will reappear as Italian semi-pro baseball forums.
You know and I know, baseball is afraid of soccer's growth and they're trying to regain control by taking over BigSoccer.

And if you've read Machiavelli, you would know that the first step in a hostile takeover is buying banner ads on a message board site. This was going to happen sooner or later. I just didn't think Huss would give in so easily.

I don't remember that chapter in "The Prince". It must be in one of the appendices.

No need to worry.

When interest in FSW website's baseball section surpasses the soccer section, FSW will start focusing on minor league baseball and college baseball and drop USOC games, A-League games, etc. Folks, DO CLICK on the banners and DO VISIT the FSW baseball website. It may end up paying all the bills for FSW.
