OMG i swear if you post one more time about trying to entice teams with reed johnson garbage or whatever i'm going to burn down the internet.
-
Sounds about right. Granted, we have the leverage that there's no urgency to trade him, but that sounds like a realistic return. If someone with a deep farm system and desperation for a starter wants to give us more, then more power to em. so you're on record as saying you will take more than what you consider to be a good return? very interesting.
-
especially when none of the shitty teams in the west can beat anybody from the east.
-
when you walk down the street does the sad charlie brown music just automatically play?
-
not a great week for me last week, but thankfully juan went with the rarely used 3 start strategy, which really backfired for him.
-
there, i went and figured it out. he scored 10.25 points on monday and used two starts. tim, please add those points (and starts) to KR's score like you did last week for RWD.
-
wait, so we're not giving KR back the points he had from monday (and making him use the two starts he used)? we've done this every single other time this has happened this year, right?
-
frankly, the league is kind of a [expletive] mess this year. it may be time to mercy kill it. people are clearly not paying as much attention to it and due to our billion complicated rules, it is very difficult to bring in new people to replace those who aren't actively managing.
-
was mike minor in KR's lineup on monday?
-
Not really the point. Sort of the point, actually So teams can continue to do things against the rules and it's okay as long as they don't win? Got it. MR has been about the most stickliest stickler for the rules this year, i don't think he's saying that. i definitely think he should have points taken away for having an illegal roster, win or lose. however, we seem to have abandoned that "wipe out your points if your roster is illegal rule." now if he gained points from those illegal players, i think you could tell tim or whoever is the commissioner and he could take them away. but in a match up that you won against a team that doesn't appear to be in the race for a playoff spot (that could require a points scored tie breaker), it's probably not worth getting worked up over at this point. especially since i don't know that anyone has ever figured out how many illegal points he scored. now, either al or rodelo needs to add up the points earned/lost by KR on monday and get that to tim so the adjustment can be made. they have a close match up and both are in the playoff race.
-
we need to take this [expletive] to yahoo or something next year. either cbs [expletive] sucks or the settings we have established are messed up.
-
no, but we don't seem to be applying that rule. secondly, i think he had negative points for the day, so he should probably "get" those points.
-
his roster is illegal. like i said in the chat, he may have actually had negative points yesterday due to myers.
-
that's not how it's been done in the past is it?
-
does this not reset if you make a claim? for example tim just claimed howard off waivers...he's still currently second on the waiver priority. i haven't claimed anyone off waivers all year (i don't think) and i'm 14th.

Agreed, but I don't really understand how stern's question was the appropriate response. As the article mentions, this wasn't really a loaded question. Answering the wife-beater question with a yes or a no implies you have beaten your wife. The thing about Rome's question was that he was giving Stern the opportunity to say no, and give reasons why it is a ridiculous thought. One thing that annoys me about Rome is that his interviews almost have a narrative that he controls--basically answering his own question while he asks the question... but he also generally is very favorable to his guests (Jim Everett notwithstanding). It is a stupid question in the fact that Stern obviously isn't going to admit to anything, but he was giving him an opportunity to shoot it down and explain why thinking so is stupid. i don't think stern wants/needs an opportunity to shoot it down. even shooting it down legitimizes it to some extent. i doubt stern wants any headlines reading "stern denies draft was rigged."
-
i can't believe there are people defending rome by claiming that was a legit question. give me a break. "hey commissioner, did you engage in maybe the biggest sports fraud/crime/scam of all time so that the league could profit directly from getting the hornets the #1 pick? HEY PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW?"
-
yeah, but it shouldn't automatically win the week for you. i have cain in another league and it didn't lock down a huge victory for me by any means.
-
goodness gracious, i'm not so sure a perfect game should be worth 124 points.
-
truffle, you really screwed yourself by dropping ogando...he just went on the DL and could have been another feather in your DL cap.
-
by the way, i guess that worked out pretty well since i'm in first place. You seem to have recovered quickly from abuck's beatdown. lol, however...you had to know this was coming. so, in conclusion, please don't provoke a) tim into talking about his rebuilding efforts or b) truffle into whining about the most injury depleted, unlucky team in fantasy baseball history (that has the best record in the league despite having the 8th most points in the league...oh the humanity!).
-
dear lord, i thought truffle bragging about his rebuilding process last year was insufferable. i have a feeling i'm going to know way more than i should about trout and bauer by the end of this season...
-
heyman was just on mlb network saying that castro could be traded since he's going to get expensive soon and that might not fit into the cubs' plans. i'm sorry, but if the cubs can't afford castro by the time he gets "expensive," ricketts must have had one hell of a drunken day at the track or something. i better never see the day where the cubs are dumping guys before they hit free agency because their arb years get too pricey. get real.
-
you traded me lincecum for dominic brown, who is the idiot now?
-
lot going on lately and i hate to make it worse, but i noticed bazingas picked up this guy off waivers. i picked him in the prospect draft, but apparently failed to add him to my roster (even though i added all my other picks). if my penalty for being stupid and not adding him is that i lose him, i suppose that's fair.
