not surprised bryant has to wear one at all times to keep the ladies off his xxxx
-
might need a new video board after today
-
So 14 teams not involved in the trade. 10 have to vote against (70% or so)?
-
that's a great point. who? who complained about my trade for Felix in 2013 or w/e. who complained about EE or Lindor? you. who complained about this horsefeathers show? you, me, abuck, and raisin. who complained about the bryant, correa and horsefeathers nonsense? a bunch of people.
-
lol. you say "main foundation" because it's vague enough that you can just ramble about and hope no one notices that you don't know what you're talking about.
-
which trades that I've made are the reason I'm undefeated? identify them please Encarnacion? 9th best 1B (there's a FA better than him right now) Lindor? 8th best SS? Schwarber and Berrios?
-
just yesterday you and i were discussing how crazy this trade was and you compared it to me trading two SP prospects for Lindor as if they're somehow equal. And you did start a thread where you had a meltdown about Swisher and Nathan two years ago. and you bitched about the Schwarber trade last year. I can clearly see some trades are borderline and some are insane. You bitch about too many trades to have your opinion really mean horsefeathers to me and you're a prick when you do it. so i'm not really interested in getting into it again.
-
how about try not to be an horsefeathers? you're so insufferable it's hard to want to give a damn

I have veto power but I don't think I've ever used it. We reversed a trade maybe last season b/c it seemed like a misunderstanding of the rules. but I've got to be honest, there's so much bitching about every trade that it makes it hard to say which trades are truly egregious (2 years ago there was a similar thread started b/c I traded draft picks for Nick Swisher and Joe Nathan, so). Yes, this was BS, not only b/c it was so lopsided but also b/c it makes no logical sense. Often trades can seem lopsided in a keeper league when one team is acquiring assets for the future. But when the team giving up on this year trades Matz, Velasquez to acquire Kluber and then immediately flips him (and Snell), I'm baffled. People in this league have very strong opinions about prospects and their values (or, in some cases, whether we should even have prospects). So I don't really know how to have a veto system in place that would work. Whose valuation of prospects do we use to determine whether a trade should be vetoed?
-
not sure what you're complaining about. guy who is giving up on the season before June traded Matz (sub .300 ERA; 1 exemption used), Velasquez (sub .300 ERA; 1 exemption used), and Snell (top 12, 13 or 21 prospect on BA, Sickels, BP). makes perfect sense
-
if you're going to make up a body part, you gotta try a little harder than that.

Twitter says it's a major league deal and he's immediately placed on the 60-day DL.
-
harold reynolds lol

Bleachers. Well that would've been a good thought. bleachers are pretty terrible for families esp if there are kids or older folks.
-
maybe we should look at disposable income in 2004 v 2016. also, pretty sure $60 in 2004 is worth about a million dollars in 2016.
-
So can we negotiate with other teams? Like if you give us an extra run we won't let Rondon pitch?

john lackey sucks and we were always right to hate him

I'm not advocating for it. But it's part of baseball that doesn't bother me. -

If you want to drill a guy in the ass about it, i don't really care. you pimp a HR and find a pitch thrown at your hip pocket the next AB, you can't be surprised. I don't like the high and tight horsefeathers or the whining about it though. I'm not saying pitchers should throw at a guy, but as long is it's at his lower back or ass, I don't really care. -
and being a college QB doesn't really say anything about one's athleticism. No one will ever forget the sight of Landry Jones "running" the 40 yard dash.

Heh, yeah... http://www.trbimg.com/img-55dca79b/turbine/ct-cubs-hoping-avoid-si-cover-jinx-20150825 Strop running makes it awesome. But Castro. Schwarber with 2 functioning knees. :(

I didn't notice the sammy hop when baez hit the walk off until I just re-watched it.
-
we're not worried about the walks right? k, cool. just checking.

the only thing in question is the percentage of points lost if it's more than your best start or best hitter. I took your top 2 starts away this week and your top 1 start away last week. You had an illegal lineup for a lot more than 3 days. If you'd prefer, I'll take more points away, which is what the rules would call for. i get why you're frustrated, but i didn't start the league, i didn't make the rules or the penalties, and I didn't write the rules thread or the rules page on cbs. I've been updating the rules thread where I can to make things more clear, but I just took on this commissioner horsefeathers last year as we burn through commissioners almost as quickly as we burn through owners. I've already explained why the cbs site says you can have 6 bench players. You're choosing to ignore that and continue bitching. I get that you're frustrated; it's a complex league. the rules aren't perfectly clear on the cbs site and they may conflict with the rules thread here. that's not going to change overnight and really no one has expressed a willingness to take the laboring oar in cleaning it all up, so it may never get fixed. we do the best we can.
-
Can someone who is better at searching the archive find that post by abuck from last year or the year before where he lays out the penalties? I'll add it to the Rules sticky thread. It's the 3 options for removing points for an illegal roster, which is something like (1) best start, (2) best hitter's points, or (3) % of points.
