Will site be closing?

Decision coming soon on future of site

I've been doing this site for a number of years and, lately, baseball just isn't holding my interest the way that it once did.  I'm busy at the moment working my way through school and I've decided that now is the time to take a break from the site.

My payment to the host is due on Dec. 1, and sometime between now and then, I will be making a decision as to whether I wish to continue this site.
