Subject: R2 Talk (continued) Posted by: Big Poo Generator - [524411411] Sun, Jul 02, 22:26 OK, to make Kyle happy here is another thread for R2. After all, he did make a website for us. Here's who "us" is: Twarpy(Braves) JKaye(Orioles) Psycho Joe(White Sox) Dev(Astros) 30something deac(Giants) Big Poo Generator(Padres) Milo Hamilton(Dodgers) Kyle (Indians) Jaysuade (Red Sox) Am I forgetting anybody? Today was supposed to be the big showdown between my Padres and Milo's Dodgers. Instead, my team choked and lost 9 games in the standings in 4 days. It's very disappointing because I traded some prospects and spent a lot of money trying to pull ahead. So today's matchup was meaningless. But it was still a good series. | ||||||
| 30 | Twarpy ID: 8622616 Thu, Jul 06, 20:16 | Yeah I know I actually thought I played better over-all so far, I wouldn't even be confident if I was up 3-1 but being up 2-2 I'm kinda shaky. | |||||
| 31 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Thu, Jul 06, 22:41 | Those were good games. Although It looks like Pettite is getting a big head from all this Cy Young talk :) | |||||
| 32 | JKaye ID: 26444220 Thu, Jul 06, 23:14 | The Mariners had the best pitching and hitting in the AL. I was thrilled after winning game 1, but they are the better team and I knew I had little chance. | |||||
| 33 | Kyle ID: 515698 Fri, Jul 07, 12:53 | If you didn't understand what I just posted, here's what it means. I'm getting rid of all the ROY picks and starting over. Each team can (but doesn't have to) nominate eligible players from their team to be ROY. Please e-mail me your team's nominations. Please only nominate players if they are deserving of the award. | |||||

The following Message Contains Information on The R2 Play-offs, if you have not watched them and are planning to read no further:)
. .. ... .... ..... ...... Congrats Milo it was an amazing series you did have the better team by far, I dont know I might have been able to pull it off if I had Sean Casey (injured) There were a couple of games I lost real close. Best of luck in the finals you deserve to win! | |||||
| 35 | JKaye ID: 26444220 Fri, Jul 07, 23:10 | Well, the Mariners beat me in 5 games. I lost game 5 7-6. Down 4-0 in the 7th I tied it at 4. Then I fell behind 6-4 and tied it in the 9th, before losing in the bottom half. Oh well, I need a little more to get me over the hump next year. | |||||
| 36 | Milo Hamilton ID: 23432320 Sat, Jul 08, 00:34 |
Great games Twarpy. It couldn't have been any closer. Thats crappy about having Casey injured. I had 2 starters injured but they were in the beginning of the season. I'm keeping my fingers crossed during the playoffs, as I am playing my starters without rest. I figure I couldn't save anybody for later cuz there might not be a later. I think that might have been the difference in the series, with all of the close games that were played. Now hopefully I can handle the Mariners and score one for the Gurupies and the NL as well :)
| |||||
| 37 | Twarpy ID: 28438220 Sat, Jul 08, 12:30 | You better win, nothing to take away from the AL but I think our series was the best of the teams, and I thought whoever won the NL would win it all:)! Go Milo! | |||||
| 38 | Dev ID: 4347715 Sat, Jul 08, 20:49 | Jaysuade- It looks like you finally busted our friend Mike. The Mets no longer have an owner. Thanks for being on top of things. | |||||
| 39 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Sun, Jul 09, 01:15 | Was the series supposed to start today? | |||||
| 40 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Sun, Jul 09, 07:19 | The World Series is played on Sunday ad Monday | |||||
| 41 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Sun, Jul 09, 19:24 | I e-mailed everyone the final nominees for ROY. Since I can't put the link on this post you'll need to check your inbox and e-mail me your picks. | |||||
| 42 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Mon, Jul 10, 07:52 |
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO STILL WATCH THE GAMES!!
Congratulations, Milo, on your sweep of the Mariners. Good luck to all for net season and hope nobody retires. | |||||
| 43 | 30something deac ID: 44447319 Mon, Jul 10, 10:18 |
Congrats Milo. I thought you might be the favorite to win the Series. I just didn't think you would sweep the Mariners. I thought their hitting might net them a couple of wins.
Now its on to the fun of free agency bidding wars. | |||||
| 44 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Mon, Jul 10, 15:43 | Thanks guys. I appreciate it. It should be interesting to see how the free-agency works out. | |||||
| 45 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Mon, Jul 10, 18:45 | I had three players retire. All were starters. 3B Ron Coomer. OF Vladimir Guerrero. 2B Quilvio Veras. | |||||
| 46 | 30something deac ID: 44447319 Mon, Jul 10, 19:06 | Kyle, how old were they? | |||||
| 47 | 30something deac ID: 44447319 Mon, Jul 10, 19:11 | The reason I ask is, I had three players retire. Two were 34, one was the ripe old age of 33. The 34 year olds were two of my best players and had signed extensions. Oh well, I'm 34...I wish I could retire. | |||||
| 48 | Dev ID: 4347715 Mon, Jul 10, 20:53 |
Congrats Milo and good luck next year.
How did everyone fair so far w/ free agency and retirement? I have 18 in the show, 14 in AAA,17 in AA and 24 in A. My total salary for a year is only 10 mil. | |||||
| 49 | Big Poo Generator ID: 524411411 Mon, Jul 10, 22:15 | I got hit pretty hard by retirements too. I lost 2B Durham and OF McCracken. I think Durham was only 31 or 32, and McCracken was 34. I'm ready to start making some trades! | |||||
| 50 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Mon, Jul 10, 23:17 | I lost Alicea, but I was kind of expecting it. Is it correct that free-agents sign on random days or do they all sign at the same time? | |||||
| 51 | Psycho Joe ID: 45518511 Tue, Jul 11, 00:02 | I only lost one guy, Martinez, and he was 38 so it coming. He was my best hitter though. | |||||
| 52 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Tue, Jul 11, 08:07 | Vlady was only 31! Quilvio was 37. And I think Coomer was 35. | |||||
| 53 | Dev ID: 4347715 Tue, Jul 11, 08:51 | Milo- About 1/3 sign each day. I lost a 34 year old and 33 year old. | |||||
| 54 | Twarpy ID: 5162091 Tue, Jul 11, 15:15 | I lost a fan favourite cause he use to throw balls to them on routine throws to first. My team will miss Knoblauch only:) | |||||
| 55 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Thu, Jul 13, 11:09 | Wow! no posts for 2 days! Getting awfully quiet. I went ahead and posted the award winners on the website due to lack of further voting. | |||||
| 56 | 30something deac ID: 44447319 Thu, Jul 13, 14:20 | Kyle, everyone has been too busy bidding on those future Cy Young minor league pitchers. ;) | |||||
| 57 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Thu, Jul 13, 14:22 | ohhhhhh | |||||
| 58 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Thu, Jul 13, 15:01 | Hey, did anyone get any good free agents? I got Tony Womack a 34 year old 2B with 420+ in every almost every category. I was also able to trade a couple of prospects to Big Poo for Ken Caminiti who I needed dearly since Ron Coomer retired at the ripe old age of 40. | |||||
| 59 | 30something deac ID: 104201012 Thu, Jul 13, 15:49 | I took a somewhat expensive risk with Shane Monahan. I needed help in the outfield. With Salmon and O'Neill moving on it made the gamble on Monahan easier from a financial standpoint. Neither Salmon or O'Neill had a 400+ rating in any hitting category and combined took up over 8 million in salary. | |||||
| 60 | Big Poo Generator ID: 524411411 Thu, Jul 13, 23:01 | I got Mickey Lopez to replace Durham at 2B, and Glavine to be my closer. I had to trade A-Rod, who was not going to resign with me, and in return got Stovall to replace McCracken in the outfield. I think my team is slightly improved, but probably not enough to catch the Dodgers. | |||||
| 61 | Kyle ID: 30502821 Fri, Jul 14, 14:52 | Season 2 starts tonight. I play the Rangers. | |||||
| 62 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Tue, Jul 18, 14:16 | I traded away Vaughn for some talent, trying to help my chances for future seasons. Just hope I haven't short changed my team for this year! | |||||
| 63 | Big Poo Generator ID: 524411411 Wed, Jul 19, 00:10 | Doesn't seem like you have anything to worry about Milo. No matter how many games I win, I never seem to be able to catch you. | |||||
| 64 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Thu, Jul 20, 14:00 | Yeah, it looks like we could use some realignment, or maybe a wild card. | |||||
| 65 | Psycho Joe ID: 45518511 Fri, Jul 21, 00:42 | The divisions are definitely unbalanced talent wise. My Sox are tied for first in the AL West and my team sucks. I finished last overall last year and my team is worse this year. | |||||
| 66 | Psycho Joe ID: 45518511 Tue, Jul 25, 00:07 | Jeez, it seems like our league is dying. No posts in three days, and it seems like only half the teams did their draft rankings. Not that I'm complaining, since I had the first pick I had a killer draft. I also got some good Northerner's this year so my farm system is finally looking good. | |||||
| 67 | Jaysuade ID: 3449412 Tue, Jul 25, 01:14 | No complaints from me with the 5th pick either.I think I drafted 4 players with at least 10 star potential which doesn't happen too often. | |||||
| 68 | Big Poo Generator ID: 34392311 Tue, Jul 25, 12:20 |
Same here - with the 12th pick, I didn't expect to get more than 5-6 keepers, but ended up with 8-9. I think I got 8 of the top 40 on my draft board. By the way, for those who haven't noticed, there is now an R2 board at the grand slam site. | |||||
| 69 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Tue, Jul 25, 15:37 |
Yeah, the inactivity in the draft led to me signing like 7-8 players with the 16th spot. People don't realize that the draft is the most important thing in the game, aside from not bankrupting your team in the first 2 days. | |||||
| 70 | 30something deac ID: 44447319 Tue, Jul 25, 19:42 |
Fortunately I'm very active with the league. I hate baseball, but GSB is actually fun. Unfortunately I get the NIMROD GM award this year for forgetting to rank the players. By the way how about Milo and the Dodgers in easily the blockbuster trade (Glaus) of the league's first two years. | |||||
| 71 | Milo Hamilton ID: 244381512 Tue, Jul 25, 22:19 | Yeah, it looked like Glaus was not going to have a good year this year for me, so I pulled the trigger getting another great 3rd baseman in Williams and getting back Vaughn. A few of my top performers are not playing up to expectations this year (Glaus one of them) and my pitching has been mediocre, so after looking at the Cardinals and Jaysuade over in the AL I decided to tighten up my lineup for the immediate future and go for the Championships while I can. | |||||
| 72 | Dev ID: 4347715 Sat, Jul 29, 19:42 | I just wanted to say sorry to everyone in R2. You probably noticed the 'Stros haven't been very active. I was away on vacation and couldn't get on the net. I will be around and won't have any other problems. Good Luck. | |||||
| 73 | Dev ID: 4347715 Sun, Jul 30, 21:03 |
I am gonna post all the guys I have I am looking to trade starting with MLB going down through A. If there is anyone you are the least bit interested in let me know. All of these guys are high quality players. For all these guys I have MLB starters who are young and just as good or I would keep them. MLB: Omar Vizquel SS- last years HR leader, hits over .300, steals a lot of bases Jaime Jones OF- hit .329 last year Lonell Roberts-backup AAA Matt LeCroy C-Future All-Star,Top Prospect Vernon Wells OF-Top Prospect Matt Miller RP-11 Star Prospect AA Mike Hardge 2B- Top Prospect A Ruben Niebla RP-Top Prospect | |||||
| 74 | Dev ID: 4347715 Mon, Jul 31, 20:17 | Is anyone still interested?? Milo and I had a great series...for me at least. He outscored me 36-20 but I stole two. I got a gem from Marquis and beat De Paula-his ace- 5 to 1. He went on to win 21-4 and 11-7. I took the last game 4-3, I won with a sac fly in the bottom of the ninth. As a side note, in the batttin title race he has 1,3 and I have 2,4. Good Luck. | |||||
| 75 | Big Poo Generator ID: 524411411 Mon, Jul 31, 22:26 | Thanks for trying to help me out Dev. I signed Valentin hoping to at least get within 4 games before my series with Milo tomorrow. But I came up 2 games short. Valentin hasn't done anything for me. | |||||
| 76 | JKaye ID: 19443421 Tue, Aug 01, 17:35 |
My team has sucked this year, but I got the chance to play spoiler by playing the two division leaders in the last two weeks. I split with both. The teams ended up tied.(Red Sox and Yansks) But the Yanks were 3 outs away from winning the division but my Orioles scored 3 in the bottom of the ninth to earn a 7-6 win. Because of that there will now be a one game playoff to decide the AL East! | |||||
| 77 | 30something deac ID: 44447319 Wed, Aug 02, 09:30 |
Great job JKaye. Anybody wanna pick the winner of the one game playoff? I'll give an edge to the Red Sox based on Jaysuade's greater GSB managerial experience. After all he brought the Sox from the cellar to the penthouse in the AL East. My Final score prediction: Red Sox win 6-4 | |||||
| 78 | JKaye ID: 39626269 Wed, Aug 02, 20:07 | Red Sox won 5-2 in a thrilling extra inning game. Good luck to all in the post season! | |||||
| 79 | Dev ID: 4347715 Tue, Aug 08, 20:46 | How hard did retirement hit teams? I didn't lose anyone. Hopefully this is my year to win. | |||||
