Subject: O2 Season 7 Posted by: Eustacio - [51729258] Fri, Dec 01, 22:45 It is time for a new thread. Could it be time for a changing of the guard in a few divisions? It's springtime and hope is racing through everyone's blood. The known Gurupie teams are: AL EAST Bean Dip--Indians Eustacio--Red Sox Beastiemiked--Yankees AL WEST Blue Hen--Rangers Scott--Royals NL EAST The Great One--Braves Dev--Cubs Eric Freda--Cardinals NL WEST Stick--Dodgers Josie--Padres | ||||||

Yeah, I'm in the same boat Eric, though I think all retirements are taken care of, as I lost 1 guy to retirement. The other guys I had eligible I believe were both scrubs who I'm keeping for this year and letting go at the end of the year. Waiting on a resolution here so I can work on a couple trades. BTW, looking for Middle Infield help, toss me a line if you've got something that can help us both. | |||||

I am pretty anxious as well. Commish hasn't made me a subscriber yet and I cannot see the proposed trade offers. I forgot what it was like as a child, seeing Xmas presents under the tree and not being able to open them. In my other leagues I can count my pitcher victories and see how many games I won, but would still like to have the sim completed. | |||||
| 103 | Stick ID: 01139139 Thu, Dec 28, 09:22 | I still can't believe my team won the Series. I don't think they we were the best team by any means, I guess it's true that anything can happen in a short series. Good luck to all next season, and hopefully this free agency thing gets straightened out. | |||||
| 104 | Eric Freda ID: 397342118 Thu, Dec 28, 10:58 | Well the way your pitchers pitched you could've scored 2 runs per game and still won. Good pitching can lead any team to the series. If your guys are on, you've always got a chance. Luck always helps too :) | |||||

I'm looking for a 4th starter. Right now I have Jake Robbins in the slot, and while he's good (and getting better), he is definitely a step down from Donovan "Crazy Train" Osbourne. I have a number of players available to package, including catcher Alex Andreopolous (460-418), Dan Ramirez (407-482), Robbins, and any number of minor leaguers. I'd prefer someone under 30 (or even under 27), but I will consider all offers. | |||||

What is the deal with the Astros? I can't even get the moron to negotiate with me, yet he gets continually bent over a table by the other managers in the league. He may be the worst manager in the league, and I can't even take advantage of it....lol. The Great One | |||||
| 107 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Sat, Dec 30, 14:05 |
I have no idea why you would feel the need to call some a moron. Then again I haven't seen his history of trades. That's not to say that Hernandez for "Wild Thing" wasn't the worse trade I have ever seen in GSB. On the lighter side, I just happen to have been negotiating with Blue Hen at the time the trade went through and had an offer in for Hernandez. Imagine my surprise when I reloaded the Rangers and there was the player I was trying to get. If you want to deal with the Astro's owner get his AOL IM name and he will chat with you. TB | |||||
| 108 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Sun, Dec 31, 17:24 |
I call him a moron because he tells one team that a guy isn't available, without even hearing an offer, only to trade him the next week for next o nothing. I also call him a moron because he had a team that was at the top, and ran it into the ground, with virually NOTHING in his minor league system. I also call him a moron because it is suspected that he rund TWO teams in this league (he claims one belongs to his roommate) and both of them are terrible. The Great One | |||||
| 109 | blue hen ID: 504501720 Sun, Dec 31, 17:40 |
Obviously, I'm not going to complain about my new acquisitions. However, I agree that someone who runs two teams should have at least one decent one. Honestly, I don't see much need for anyone to have a team that bad for that long. I wonder how his other teams are. | |||||
| 110 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Mon, Jan 01, 12:26 |
I am in a league with him in P (same division actually). It is a near carbon copy of his team here. He had an old team stacked with "original guys" that was good for a couple of seasons, but as those guys retired, he had nothing to replace them. I got in this league, and it was one of my two "rebuilding" teams. There were about 40 players in my organization when I got the team, none of which even had MLB potential. I won the division last season, and another team is winning it this season, while the Astros (same Astros as this league), is mired in last with no future. The Great One | |||||
| 111 | beastiemiked ID: 145191710 Mon, Jan 01, 13:09 | Nice to see Free Agency didn't get fixed. Now I'm stuck with a couple of bums eating up salary. | |||||
| 112 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Mon, Jan 01, 13:44 |
My e-mail to the Commish on our free agent problem went unasnwered. My guess is that he was so busy with the other problems, that he just decided to ignore ours. It actually helps me mostly as I had a couple of key players who were up for free agency next season, who I will be guaranteed at least one more season with. My luck always seems to dictate that I can never resign the players I really want to. The Great One | |||||
| 113 | blue hen ID: 504501720 Mon, Jan 01, 15:43 | Yeah, I'm fairly satisfied if this is how it turns out. Even though I wasn't going to lose anyone this year, it allows me to keep guys under contract for that much longer. | |||||
| 114 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Tue, Jan 02, 08:53 | It's time to take back that which is rightfully mine!!!! | |||||
| 115 | beastiemiked ID: 5037210 Tue, Jan 02, 10:39 | Wow, now the commish really screwed up FA. I've got 5 players left on my mlb roster and I know they were not supposed to be FA's this year. | |||||
| 116 | beastiemiked ID: 5037210 Tue, Jan 02, 10:50 | My team is seriously ficked up. Like i said i managed to lose some players that definitely shouldn't of been FA's plus 2 of my guys got pay raises even though they should still be making the league minimum, Juan Encarcion and Chris Dingman. Also Masato Yoshii, somehow has 3 year mlb experience eventhough he's never played in a game nor have i ever had him on my mlb roster. | |||||
| 117 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Tue, Jan 02, 11:06 | Mine is messed up too. Tommy Peterman has only been in the league 2 whole seasons, but he shows up as having 4 years MLB experience and won't freakin resign with me. Not to mention, I could've sworn I signed him to a long contract last season, but I'm not certain. Either way, he hasn't been in the league 4 seasons. | |||||
| 118 | beastiemiked ID: 5037210 Tue, Jan 02, 11:16 | I sent a letter to the commish explaining what happened. I doubt it will get fixed. I just wish he would've kept it the way it was, instead of screwing it up even worse. | |||||
| 119 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Tue, Jan 02, 11:17 | Look at some of the free agents. BH got screwed. Hernandez is listed as 9 years experience, 9 years MLB experience | |||||
| 120 | Eustacio ID: 594161920 Tue, Jan 02, 11:18 |
The same thing happened to me with Kirgan. I've had him in the Majors for 2 years, now he's listed as having 4 and I lost my chance to resign him, as he won't resign now. My guess is that when the Commish went through to fix the FA, it "fixed" the sim by going back a season w/o deleting the years of service that were added on by the end of Season 7. Then, it resimmed to where we are now, and added the extra year of service. If that is as badly written as it seems, here it is broken down: Season 7 Ends, +1 Years to Service Commish Changes FA by moving season back Sim Ends Season 7 Again, +1 to Years of Service | |||||
| 121 | Eustacio ID: 594161920 Tue, Jan 02, 11:20 | Another point of note is that the Season 7 stats don't show up individually, indicating that a "ghost season" was simmed somewhere. | |||||
| 122 | Eustacio ID: 594161920 Tue, Jan 02, 11:26 | Finally, the last piece of "DUH" evidence of a Ghost Sim...it says we're in Week 23...OF SEASON 8! | |||||
| 123 | beastiemiked ID: 5037210 Tue, Jan 02, 11:30 | it looks like the ghost sim just took place in the majors because, the minor leaguers seem to be fine has far as years pro, the rookies from last year only have 1 year of pro experience. | |||||
| 124 | Eustacio ID: 594161920 Tue, Jan 02, 11:33 | I sent the commish an e-mail outlying what I thought happened in hopes of speeding up the process of getting this fixed, if at all possible. I included your note about the minor leagues as well, beastiemiked. | |||||
| 125 | beastiemiked ID: 5037210 Tue, Jan 02, 12:30 | What if the commish can not fix the problem? Those that cannot resign some of their players that have 4 years mlb experience now will lose them eventhough they shouldn't have. To me if the problem is not resolved I think it is only fair to allow swapback trades, trading player A to another team, have that other team sign him for 5 years, then trade back for player A. Normally I find deals like this wrong but in this case I think we HAVE to consider this an option. | |||||
| 126 | The Great One ID: 145412810 Tue, Jan 02, 12:54 | I think if we find that this problem is not fixable, then we could put swap-back trades to a vote. I think enough people are effected by this that it would be considered. | |||||
| 127 | Stick ID: 2911572718 Tue, Jan 02, 20:59 | F@&*!!!!!!!!!!! | |||||
| 128 | Scott ID: 36715121 Tue, Jan 02, 21:19 | Who bid on Borland for 4 mil a year , he is 300-400-400-300 , thats decent , but 4 mil a year , he is not that good. | |||||
| 129 | Eustacio ID: 594161920 Tue, Jan 02, 21:51 |
It's all moot now. In case you all haven't read your GSB-Mail by now, here's the latest from the Commish. "I have requested a back up copy of the database. I was told that it would be done in the morning. I will then upload the data and we can have everything fixed". | |||||
| 130 | Eric Freda ID: 397342118 Wed, Jan 03, 00:04 |
45 million for Marty Malloy for ONE SEASON? Whoever bid that is not only stupid, they should be thrown out of the league. | |||||
| 131 | TBRaiders ID: 26738619 Wed, Jan 03, 00:25 |
I saw that bid too. Seems kinda crazy. I think all of tonight's bidding will be for not, though. I didn't mind losing him, but I lost a player to free agency that should be in his 5th year. I think a lot of the good free agents will end back up on their respective teams. Still, I would like to hear the rationale behind the huge one year bid. Unless it is someone behind the times, who thinks he can demote that player back to the minors and nullify that contract. | |||||
| 132 | The Great One ID: 285352818 Wed, Jan 03, 19:17 | Does 02 still exist? | |||||
| 133 | Eric Freda ID: 397342118 Wed, Jan 03, 21:55 | I'm starting to wonder. We've had no further word on anything from the Commish. | |||||
| 134 | blue hen ID: 534402321 Wed, Jan 03, 23:12 | hmm | |||||
| 135 | Eustacio ID: 594161920 Wed, Jan 03, 23:22 |
*twiddle* While I'm in the theorizing mood... I'm guessing that copy over of O2's specific information is more difficult than expected. Either there wasn't a recent backup of O2's data that could be used, the data is stored in such a way that it can only be placed back into the current database by manually entering 1 piece at a time, thereby slowing the process down, or, O2 doesn't exist anymore. | |||||

That was a great movie Eric. Just got an update from the commish, I just got off the phone with the database administrator of my hosting company. I explained (again) what needed to be done, and he said that he would get the backup loaded and send me an email. I hope that it will be done tonight, so that we can get things back rolling. | |||||
| 141 | blue hen ID: 34937217 Thu, Jan 04, 19:16 | Sure Mr. Eight Teams. Sure you are more bored than me. It's worse because I only have two hoops players playing tonight. And let's not even talk about SSB... | |||||
| 142 | Eustacio ID: 594161920 Thu, Jan 04, 20:18 |
Well, now I'm getting this error: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e37' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'Player_InfoO2'. /bottom.asp, line 61" This could mean something good for the league, as my other leagues work fine. | |||||
