The knee jerk \u201cwe couldn\u2019t sell the game because of piracy\u201d comments in the forum left me scratching my head.  I read somewhere that the NHL All Star game had lower ratings than  Andy Griffith re-runs aired during the same time (actually I think Jim Rome said this during his radio show).  Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>Could we be staring at Out of the Park Baseball\u2019s future with another lackluster release this year?  If OOTPB 2007 turns out to be as bad and bug-ridden at release at OOTPB 2006, then I am closing my league down and that\u2019s the end of my OOTPB playing.  Lots of other folks will do the same.  For the record, piracy will have little to do with OOTPB\u2019s demise should SI decide to close down its baseball franchise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports Interactive all but killed off Eastside Hockey Manager.
