    i believe that he gained 20 lbs. he just didn't gain 20 lbs of muscle.

    the most weight (not muscle) arnold gained in a year was 25 pounds. and he was a professional bodybuilder with incredible, incredible, mind-blowing genetics and a bunch of steroids.
  3. abuck1220
    it's not.

    you said yourself you did the EY thing because you didn't like me. [expletive] right.

    i don't really know how it leads to parity when the best teams get to keep 2,000 points in addition to racking up draft picks. meanwhile, the team on the other side of the trade also gets to keep 2,000 points and they lose draft picks.

    but uggla wasn't entering free agency. a better example would be the cardinals trading pujols after this season. i have proposed a system that caps the amount of points you can trade. for example, you can only dump 700 of your points after the season. this would prevent teams from dumping 4 players and getting a ton of draft picks.

    also, it's impossible to add 20 lbs of muscle in 3 months.

    1) If I weren't able to trade, I would have kept at least Pujols. I carried his points every other year in the league. 2) Not sure why you're still beating this horse. Everyone else is okay with it. You're not convincing anyone. everyone else is ok with it because a) i'm the one opposed to it and b) you're the one in favor of it. everyone [expletive] their pants when i picked up eric young jr during the season, but everyone's ok with you trading free agents. i think it's safe to say a little bit of that has to do with what the league thinks of the people behind the ideas. and it's nothing personal against you. you've never prevented me from winning the championship, so it doesn't matter that much to me. i just think it's kind of a nonsensical system.

    i selected my keepers, but it wouldn't let me drop the guys i wasn't keeping.

    rollins 259.0 wright 491.8 gonzalez 533.5 sizemore 67.2 j. johnson 599.0 span 0 fukudome 0 hanson 0 kennedy 0 t. wood 0 total 1950.5 if anyone wants teix, choo, or mccann, let me know ASAP.
  11. abuck1220
    because he kept 1900 worth of points from other players.
  12. abuck1220
    we really need to do something about post-season trading. as i've said before, you're trading free agents, which is stupid. sure, tim gave up pujols and felix, but wasn't going to be able to keep either of them (at least certainly not both), and now he gets halladay to replace them. he lost nothing and got halladay.

    you know how else you could get cubs games? a tv.

    It's hard to bring the feel of the game when you've spaced out for a few at-bats and your formerly awesome PbP guy has decided that riffing off you is better than calling the game. give me a break. there was never a time when i was seriously lost as to what was going on with the game for "a few at-bats." people have said that about santo quite a bit and it's ridiculous. if pat and ron's "riffing" seriously caused you to lose track as to what was going on with the game, you're not very bright or you're old.
  15. abuck1220
    iowa state has lost SIX games in which they led with a minute or less to go. that is hard to do.
  16. abuck1220
    hey, someone finally took advantage of you in a trade. congrats, whoever did that.
  17. abuck1220
    You haven't missed a thing. Tim has every first round pick and EY Jr still sucks. Not every pick. Adam wouldn't trade me his! Actually, I only have one first rounder this year. But it is the first one. :D SHOCKING
  18. abuck1220
    hey everybody, haven't checked in for a while...what'd i miss? i'm assuming several people have traded tim their first round pick? is anyone planning on taking eric young jr. with their first round pick? because i've had my eye on him for a while now.
  19. abuck1220
    this is a knew low.
  20. abuck1220
    i don't get the movie reference.
  21. abuck1220
    after giving up an open 3 to tie it in regulation, iowa state fails to get a shot off on their last possession that started with 35 seconds left. that's three conferences losses in which they've led with 1 minute or less left. starting to think ol' hoiberg may be in over his head right now.
  22. abuck1220
    i don't really get why joyce is taking this as hard as he is. it's not like his mistake led to galarraga's family being murdered or something. it's like the nine billionth most harmful mistake made in the last year.
  23. abuck1220
    crean looks like a child molester from the 1930's.

    Troll fail. Or just stupidity, I can't tell which. I don't think it's trolling. I think it's an honest question, although worded a little strongly. Iowa has had some issues over the past few years and things always seem to be swept under the rug with no one ever batting an eye at Ferentz. People give Dantonio grief for the crap he's pulled with letting players back on the team the day after they got out of jail, but Iowa probably has more players who've been in trouble with the law. I can't imagine the commotion that would have started at the Detroit Free Press if Rich Rod had 12 kids all in the hospital at the same time because of pushing them too hard. Hell, Rich Rod got thrown under the bus because they practiced 45 minutes too long. no, he got thrown under the bus because michigan sucks.

    guzman has been in the organization for 12 years???
