Well, I got my ass kicked last night. J - I just thought you guys were past the 4th week of the season. When I checked the records it should only 16 games have been played. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 132 | Purple Pimp ID: 91091619 Sat, Nov 18, 14:33 | Power Rankings are up.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 133 | Whitey ID: 6437514 Sat, Nov 18, 16:02 |
Wammie - Does your poll allow the same person to vote more than once? I am saying that because who in their right mind would vote for the Padres to win the World Series besides Brock? (They have 2 votes) Also, cool comments on the Power Rankings. Maybe you should have wrote next to your team, "Will be tough to make the series with the loss of Callier." ;) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 134 | Timing ID: 44103619 Sun, Nov 19, 02:12 | Blah? Waddaya mean blah? Take a look at Jovino Carvajal. He leads the league in average, slugging, and on base percentage. You could make a case that he's the best hitter in the league this year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 135 | Purple Pimp ID: 91091619 Sun, Nov 19, 04:46 | Blah as in no hopes for team this year | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 136 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Sun, Nov 19, 11:05 |
Whitey, I just tried to vote for the Orioles again and it wouldn't take it. I do have 3 votes total, though. I put a comment on there that Whitey must have 4 computers. Can anyone see that? Start your real team next year Timing. Your farm system is strong enough for many seasons to come. It should be fun to see how big of a turn around your club has when you do. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 137 | Wammie ID: 569232116 Sun, Nov 19, 13:48 | Damn, I just found out about Callier. I am so pissed! Good thing I made the move for Bergman. Hopefully my team can battle and come together in this time of crisis. Marquis is going to have to come up big over the next 8-9 starts, if he gets that many. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 138 | Purple Pimp ID: 91091619 Sun, Nov 19, 15:08 | OT...BEARS WIN :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 139 | Wammie ID: 569232116 Sun, Nov 19, 23:28 | My Astros magic number is down to 1, for my first ever berth into the playoffs. took 3 of 4 from whitey, including an extra inning thriller. The only game I lost was Callier's spot in the rotation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 140 | Purple Pimp ID: 91091619 Sun, Nov 19, 23:45 | Swept the Padres :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 141 | Brock ID: 42542238 Mon, Nov 20, 07:55 | New strategy, I'm going for the #1 pick. My team sure knows how to choke down the stretch. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 142 | Wammie ID: 569232116 Mon, Nov 20, 15:01 |
I think timing is going to get the number 1 pick, again. it is becomming a p2 tradition. I would hate to see that one broken. knowing your team brock, you will try to throw some games, but will sweep me! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 143 | Timing ID: 44103619 Mon, Nov 20, 17:21 | I'm definitely trying to get it but those darn Mariners are giving a good fight. Hopefully I can pick up another Corey Lee type in next year's draft! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 144 | Wammie ID: 569232116 Mon, Nov 20, 22:10 |
While playing Brock's Padres this week, my best active sp ERA wise Williams gives up 12 runs and gets injured! talk about bad luck. lucky for me he is only hurt for one week. he will be back for the playoffs. btw everyone in the playoffs, there will be no games on thursday according to the commish. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 145 | J ID: 50726110 Wed, Nov 22, 11:27 |
In case there was any doubt as to the rookie of the year.....
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 146 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Wed, Nov 22, 11:59 | J - DeRosa is a real gem. Did you draft him?? If so, when ? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 147 | J ID: 210421221 Wed, Nov 22, 12:55 |
my first ever draft pick! Season 1, Round 1 pick 7 (I think) Pretty sweet AVG rating, considering he only has 3 stars!!!!! So, 5 or 6 "years" ago, depends on who you ask ;) All of his ratings are still going up too!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 148 | Wammie ID: 569232116 Wed, Nov 22, 15:38 |
J you are lucky. I have had many players stop improving after 3 years, and you stud player is still going up after 5-6. lucky has hell | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 149 | Purple Pimp ID: 91091619 Sun, Nov 26, 02:29 | where is everyone? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 150 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Sun, Nov 26, 18:10 | I was gone for the holiday, but back now. down 3-1 to whitey in the playoffs, I hope whitey's players all got drunk over the holiday weekend. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 151 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Mon, Nov 27, 11:14 | Whitey's players didn't get drunk over the weekend and only needed one more game to beat me. Go on Whitey and show the NL dominance! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 152 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Mon, Nov 27, 11:41 | I am surprised that the Royals swept the Orioles. I thought the Orioles were the favorite to come out of the AL. What happened to the pitching staff TB? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 153 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Mon, Nov 27, 19:14 | TB, did you miss out on revenue from getting swept? just wondering. I got 4.5 millionish for the first day (four games) and 4.5 for the second day (one game). first time in the playoffs for me, and i don't really know how it works. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 154 | Brock ID: 42542238 Tue, Nov 28, 08:51 | A sweep in the series. Not bad Whitey. The NL is once again the dominant league as it should be. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 155 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, Nov 28, 09:32 | My pitching came up huge for me in the World Series. Iget all 4 starters back next season and my big 3 in the bullpen. The only problem I will have is if Lopez, Luuloa and Carradonna retire. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 156 | Brock ID: 42542238 Tue, Nov 28, 13:50 | You will go down next year when you face me in the NLCS. I guarantee it. I haven't said this before, have I? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 157 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Tue, Nov 28, 14:41 |
Whitey will be tough again for me in the playoffs next year. Brock, you won't be comming out of the West for a long time, because I should be winning it for many years to come. Good job Whitey, I feel good that I was able to get at least one game from you! I will get ya next year I hope, barring injuries to who would have been Cy Young (Callier) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 158 | Brock ID: 42542238 Tue, Nov 28, 14:56 | Wammie - We all know your season was a fluke. The sim went your way this year but not next year or ever again. You'll be fighting it out with the Dodgers for last place in the division once again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 159 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Tue, Nov 28, 17:23 | Brock, step back and take a breath, you have been hitting the pipe too long! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 160 | Wammie ID: 58141314 Tue, Nov 28, 21:10 | Who still comes in here. Seems that we only hear from PP, Whitey, Brock, TB, and me | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 161 | Wammie ID: 58141314 Tue, Nov 28, 21:12 | also J and Timing. I was in a hurry and didn't look through the whole thing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 162 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Tue, Nov 28, 23:45 | I was hurt by the retirement bug. Ramirez left Houston and the Astros fans are pissed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 163 | Purple Pimp ID: 91091619 Wed, Nov 29, 01:09 | FA"S all Suck dick (pardon my french) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 164 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Wed, Nov 29, 11:39 |
That mean someone will sign a guy for WAY TOO much, then wish he could trade him, but since he signed him for way too much he can't. so there is an upside to the bad fa's. also there will always be bad fa crops as long as everyone trades their would be fa's. there probalby won't be very many good fa crops for a while. the only way a guy will go to fa is if a contender needs him to play to try to win a world series. other wise people will always just trade them, rather than trying to resign them after the season. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 165 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Wed, Nov 29, 12:01 |
Ah, only lost Carradonna to free agency. Still have Lopez and Luuloa. I will bring up a guy from AAA (Kelly) who is at 460 AVG and still improving. I am also gonna try and make a trade for another hitter. Anybody want to trade me a good hitter (>450 AVG, around 400 HR and GAP) for 3 prospects and cash? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 166 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Wed, Nov 29, 19:14 | The loss of Ramirez for me was huge. I would have rather lost any one else on my team. Whitey our trade two seasons ago now seems to be Lopez for Camilli. You got the better end of this long term deal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 167 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Thu, Nov 30, 08:49 | Wammie - You never know when players are going to retire. If it were reversed and Lopez retired instead of Manny, then you would gain the advantage in that trade. Looking back, it really was a good trade for both of us because Manny, Camilli, Carradonna and Lopez all produced very well after the trade. I wish all trades worked out so well.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 168 | Brock ID: 42542238 Thu, Nov 30, 10:23 |
Lopez had his one good year out of four. Now he'll have 3 bad years. That has been his pattern. The first year I had him, he was damn good. The next 2 years he sucked and then I traded him the third to Wammie. He didn't do sh!t that year and then this past year he was decent for the Cards. Ramirez just couldn't handle the pressure of playing on an over achieving team. He knew they would be back in the cellar this year and he wanted to get out of Houston before that happened. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 169 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Thu, Nov 30, 16:00 |
Whitey, congrats on winning the WS again! I was pretty confident going in that I would beat the Royals. Shocked was the slightest of emotions I felt at being swept by them. Reed and Rangel both had great years but sucked in the playoffs. My hitting is still suspect too. Sure wanted to win a championship before Hollandsworth retired. Wammie, I only got big cash the first night. Then I just got what everyone else eliminated got, 2 million each week of play-offs. The only free agent I saw that I even thought about bidding on was Hunter. He is already at 12 million a year. I do need a stud OF, though. TB | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 170 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Thu, Nov 30, 16:27 |
That sucks for you TB on the money, but good for the rest of us. less money for you to spend on players! I agree with you whitey, our trade worked out very well for both sides. brock, we will see about the cellar after this season. look for me back on top of the west again. we will see how your theory on Lopez turned out. you are right, he didn't do jack for me but has preformed well for whitey. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 171 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Thu, Nov 30, 22:01 |
LOL, I still have around 130 million to spend. I opted to not bid on Hunter. I think I will be able to get a good OF'er through a trade. My team salary is only 45 million for the season. That's only 2.8 million a week. I have tried to buy a championship the last two seasons through free agency and it hasn't worked. Maybe I will go back to the "cheap roster" and see how that goes. Why don't you do the honors of starting us a new thread Wammie. This one is taking longer and longer to load. TB | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 172 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Thu, Nov 30, 22:40 |
...and merely moments later I change my mind and decide to bid on Hunter...lol. I did a search for OF with over 400 avg, over 400 homer, and over 300 speed and there isn't many. I tried to offer him a one year 16 million offer and he wouldnt take it. He can't do math. His current contract is at 13 million per year. I first tried 3 years 45 million and he wouldn't take that either. I hate to gamble long term if he doesn't produce. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 173 | Whitey ID: 6437514 Fri, Dec 01, 07:31 | Brock - Lopez had a "decent" year this year for the Cards???? Put down the crack pipe...... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 174 | Brock ID: 495121712 Sat, Dec 02, 00:02 | Whitey - I guess a .260 avg for someone on your team is good. I guess we just judge performances differently. I'll be waiting for the "Brock you were right about Lopez" after the end of this season. By the way, I'll trade you my crack pipe for that meth lab you have in the back of your trailer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 175 | Whitey ID: 6437514 Sat, Dec 02, 09:58 | I'm not even going to try and argue about Lopez' season. He was the NL MVP this season. Jeez, I can't figure out where you are coming from sometimes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 176 | Brock ID: 495121712 Sat, Dec 02, 16:21 | MVP??? Feramisco was by far your best player and the MVP of your team. But league MVP, I would say either Feramisco or Ramirez. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 177 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Mon, Dec 04, 14:51 |
I know we should let this thread die since we are in season seven, but can I get an objective opinion from someone else on whether or not Lopez was the league MVP? He led the league in RBI and RUNS and was second in HRs and near the top in SLG%. Brock - RBI and RUNS are far more important statistics than is batting average. Why do we always disagree on everything??? I guess it makes our league more interesting.. ;) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 178 | Brock ID: 42542238 Mon, Dec 04, 15:53 | The problem is that your team had a lot of good players and Wammie's had just a few. Ramirez really stood out on his team. The MVP is not just based on stats. It's mainly based on the impact a player had on his team. Would they have been able to do what they did without a player? I think your team still would have done the same with or without Lopez. Wammie's on the other hand wouold not have been nearly as good without Ramirez. Also, I don't think your team would have been nearly as good without Feramisco. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 179 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, Dec 05, 09:17 | You have a point there. The thing is that Lopez produced so many runs for my team (RBI + RUNS - HRs) that it's hard to ignore him. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
