all i know is that my offer involves troy [expletive] percival. you fill in the rest of the blanks.

so murton has the floods to thank for this promotion (and inevitable trade).

well, i don't really give a [expletive] if i make that mistake since all the other person has to do is tell me they just released the guy. i don't think anyone besides you would make such a huge deal about it. now i know that i have to scan all prior transactions to make sure i'm not offering up someone who the other guy has previously owned. if i'm ever down to just one reliever, sure. why wouldn't i be? just because i released him once doesn't mean i'd never, ever, ever want him back on my team. that's just stupid.

you can take anything said on kxno with a negative 14 grains of salt.

[expletive] that, man. you needed a reliever and i offered you one. a good one. i didn't know that you were the one that dropped him. and you dropped him because you were out of DL spots, not because he was terrible. big [expletive] deal. get over it. don't call me bush league for asking you if you were interested in a guy i had that i thought you could use. i didn't even make an offer...i just asked if you were interested, and i even said that it wouldn't take much to get him. calling me bush league is a bunch of [expletive] whether you [expletive] dropped him a week ago or not.

just in time for him to get schooled by kazmir, labeled a AAAA player and sent back down.

Injuries have really slowed down my point production the last 3 weeks. That, and really crappy pitching. ps - if i would have known you were going to make such a production about me asking you if you were interested in percival i would have kicked your ass even worse. What would you have done if you dropped a guy, I picked him up less than a week later and offered to trade him to you? I mean, come on. You deserve whatever you get for that brainstorm. :yahoo: He tried to pawn him off on me, too. holy [expletive], you guys are acting like i was trying to trade you rick ankiel for crying out loud. forgive me for thinking you'd prefer to have percival and his 0.60 whip, 2.70 era and 15 saves in your lineup as opposed to a DL'ed putz and his injured pitching elbow. my bad.

You deserve whatever you get for that brainstorm. :yahoo: well, you acted like it was the most offensive thing you've ever seen in your life. as i told you, i didn't realize you had dropped him. secondly, you dropped him because you didn't have room on your DL, not because he was terrible. thirdly, when you dropped him you had scherzer in your pen, and when i offered you percival, scherzer had been sent to the minors. fourthly, it wasn't like i was asking for webb and holliday for him...i probably would have practically given him away. fifthly (should have done a power point), i WANT you to have a replacement RP because i'll be rooting for you to beat up on my division rivals from here on out. in conclusion, you acted like it was the most preposterous thing you've ever seen in all your days as a fantasy baseball player, and it really ranks about #6,093 on the list of dumb [expletive] i've seen in this league alone. when i read your pm response, i had to go back and look at my original pm to make sure i had really only asked you if you wanted percival and not asked to [expletive] your mom.

OMG THAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD.

i love how that dude with the website quotes himself in his "press releases."

deal. but yeah, k-rod is good.

come on, everybody loves my tirades.

the extra rest worked so well the last time they tried it. but yeah, i'd hope it's because they're spending time fixing whatever the hell his problem is.

i've had a terrible run of facing double starts from very good pitchers, and it continues this week with lincecum. at least i don't have to go up against two sabathia starts. losing the wangster might slow me down a bit...

stupid interleague games...

you're still in a better position for a playoff spot than me. i'm two games out of the playoffs and i have to catch two teams. and you've only outscored me by 130 on the season.

You may be right, but you're behind me in the standings. :D i guess it only takes one decent 1/3 of a season for a guy to put his past failures behind him. that's positive thinking right there.

see, this needs to be fixed for both of our sakes.

as always, i am right. now take the cheater's nine points away so i can be high scorer of the week.

just for clarification purposes... earlier this week tim promoted liz from his minor league roster to start a game. after the game, he was sent back to tim's minor league roster. liz is under the minor league limits. tim had a maxed out roster of 18 when he called liz up, meaning that for that day (while liz was on his active roster) his roster stood at 19, which is one over the limit. first of all, i'm pretty sure it was established last season that you can't use your minor league roster as an expanded bench. that is, you can't call guys up midweek from your minor league roster to start games, even if you somehow make room for that guy by dropping someone else or something. secondly, i don't think there is any question you can't have a roster of 19 at any time. i get that you can have an overflowing bench to prevent you from going over the 7 start limit, but i don't think that means you can go over the overall roster limit of 18 for any reason. even if you're allowed to bring a minor league guy up midweek (which i don't think you can), you certainly can't bring him up to a full roster without dropping somebody or, at the very least, sending someone on your active roster down to the minors. obviously this doesn't matter much for this week (though tim and i are duking it out for high score of the week :D ), but it should be cleared up.

the eighth inning substitutions last night were a clusterf.

i was surprised to see marshall and dubois standing outside the hotel fort des moines this afternoon because i thought they were going to play these games at a different field...what happened to that plan? anyway, principal park is literally an island right now. much of downtown was evacuated today.

seriously, you watch 150 or so games every year and you're crying about how difficult it was to watch TWO innings? spoiled babies.

Not sure why that is a key word when I still have friends and contacts who work there. I don't think you realize the number of Assistant Managing Editors of Sports there have been at Tribune in at least the last decade. Or how many sports editors there have been in the last decade. Quite a few...and they all heard from Jay as well as the main editor and the publisher that I know of for sure. If by guidelines you mean they won't allow their people to appear on other outlets, that is incorrect. Now not so sure under "new" Tribune management since it was all thrown out the window by Zell. But if a writer wanted to appear on another outlet, you had to get permission first and had to reveal in the annual ethics statement any additional monies your received from outside appearances. Sometimes I wonder why I bother though since every time I respond to a post I am challenged by someone as a no nothing. Oh, that's right...I'm a female. got it. come on...it has nothing to do with your gender and everything to do with your obvious bitterness. give me a break.
