| 206 | Brock ID: 371582223 Mon, Apr 30, 21:52 | I have much to brag about. I beat your team's ass. You had the best record in the league. That's the bottom line. You didn't rest sh!t. You don't have sh!t in the first place. You'll be lucky to win a game in the playoffs, if you make it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 207 | Buchster ID: 57324121 Mon, Apr 30, 21:53 | look at the stacked teams getting bitter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 208 | Timing ID: 34328713 Mon, Apr 30, 23:06 | Well talk is cheap Skineej and so was that Jesse Travis move. I'm looking forward to clubbing you with a champagne bottle in the playoffs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 209 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Mon, Apr 30, 23:07 | San Fran is right, he has to upset my Cubs inorder to get to the WS. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 210 | skinneej ID: 43149717 Mon, Apr 30, 23:31 | What are you talking about Timing in reference to the Travis move? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 211 | TB ID: 44334240 Tue, May 01, 02:26 |
I know I wanted to get Travis but couldn't sim sit. I jacked the bid and had to run. I was hoping I would get him, but o' well. Same with someone you got Timing. Maybe a 3rd base with some power. I don't think I jacked bid on him, but couldn't hang out until sim time to keep raising bid. Next time I want a player I will make sure I bid strong. I want to boast some that lead is down to five but I have a tough week ahead of me. Toronto, Boston, Tampa Bay, and Minnesota. From looking at the past couple weeks, I guess I should be happy I am not facing Whitey again. I did adjust my rotation to start my worse pitchers against him and it worked out well in my other games, but he knocked me around a bit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 212 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 07:38 |
That was a shocker TB...2 out of 3 in Oakland?? You never know what's gonna happen in GSB. I took some of that momentum into the next series against Seattle when we exploded for 20 runs on 26 hits in the opener. Is that close to being a single game record or no? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 213 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Tue, May 01, 08:43 | How many people have had many pitching injuries? I am just wondering. I had another sp go down last night. this time at least for only 2 weeks, thank god. i am wondering if I am having bad luck, or if it is happening to everyone. (I have also had my top three RP's go down during the course of the year and 2 other sp's) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 214 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 08:51 | I don't want to jinx myself, but I have had only 2 injuries all season. A SS and a 2B each went down for 1 game. No SP or RP injuries all year!!! I don't use any of my relievers for more than 3 games (except my closer). Most of my position players have high health ratings... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 215 | worm ID: 53581910 Tue, May 01, 08:53 | not that it matters wammie but i have had only one pitcher injury this season. i have had about 4 everyday players go down to various injuries. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 216 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 08:58 | Just to follow up on my post above, the 2 position players that were injured for me this season have the lowest health rating of any of my position players (280 and 300). Pretty interesting... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 217 | worm ID: 53581910 Tue, May 01, 09:00 | you dont say mr. obvious...... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 218 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 09:07 | butt wipe - In previous versions of the sim, the health rating never meant jack. Now it seems that a guy with a low health rating might actually be more susceptible to injury. Just thought some people might like to see some hard evidence of this.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 219 | Big Poo Generator ID: 57844423 Tue, May 01, 09:24 | I've had a ton of pitching injuries. I've lost my #4 starter and my closer for the season. I previously had 4 other injuries in my bullpen. I don't feel I've been overworking anyone either. I suspect that the way the commish said to set up your bullpen actually is risky. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 220 | worm ID: 11347249 Tue, May 01, 09:47 | well whitey, i am sure everyone that comes in ru knows the corrolation between injuries and the low health rating. it was a post that really didnt need to be brought up. it made you look like an ass. how bout that beating the yanks took last night from the twins....... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 221 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 09:53 | ok worm, os if that post made me look like an ass... Then what does every single post you make in here portray you as? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 222 | worm ID: 11347249 Tue, May 01, 09:55 | an ass of course. damn whitey you are clicking on all cylinders today. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 223 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 09:59 | Since when are we allowed to type ass? I thought it was one of those "illegal" words.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 224 | Brock ID: 26328214 Tue, May 01, 10:01 | Only 1 injury here. A RP went down for 1 week. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 225 | worm ID: 11347249 Tue, May 01, 10:02 |
was his health getting low or did he suffer from a freak injury? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 226 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 10:04 | A player's health rating doesn't "get low" in GSB. It's a constant number. Get a clue | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 227 | Brock ID: 26328214 Tue, May 01, 10:05 | My RP that was injured has a health rating of 472. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 228 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Tue, May 01, 10:09 | I have had no hitters go down, but i have had rps go down a lot, and i set my bp up just like the commish said. I think BPG is right when he says that setting the bp up like the commish recommended is risky. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 229 | Whitey ID: 2543539 Tue, May 01, 10:11 | Wammie - I have my bullpen set up very similar to the way the Commish said. I use the same guy as closer all 5 games and I don't use any other pitcher for more than 3 games.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 230 | Charles ID: 27316279 Tue, May 01, 12:57 | I have had plenty of hitters go down throughout the season. Some, I only play three games. It seems that one or two go down for 2+ weeks every week. I am afraid to check my e-mail every time that I see that I have something that I haven't read. Of course, does it really matter when you are in the cellar!! The Rangers will rebound, hopefully in a couple of seasons. Also, with all the injuries, it keeps bringing up players from AAA ball and messing with my line-ups. This is really going to suck when players get called up earlier and must be signed because they played 2 games, one in each season....... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 231 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 13:21 | Skineej must have amnesia. Here's what you did. Many weeks ago I sent out an email saying that I had three players for sale or trade. One of those players was Jesse Travis. I waited a few weeks and no one responded so I waived Jesse Travis just to clear room on my roster. THEN I look on the waiver wire and someone has a $4 million bid on this guy. Skineej ends up winning the bid at around $4.5 million or so. He then proceeds to trade Red Clark to Minnesota. The thing is that Red Clark has the SAME exact ratings as Jesse Travis. The only difference is that Travis is signed at 4 years $1.6 million and Clark is signed at 2 years $9.6 million. So what he basically did was a take a player from me for $4million while disregarding my email, then trades the higher salaried identical player to Minnesota for a pretty good prospect. Now I know that MattG is a crap manager but I guess this just reinforces that. Both of these guys could have had Travis from me for less than they gave up. These type of annoying managerial moves are the kind of things that lead to player pipelines into certain divisions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 232 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 13:29 | Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Jesse Travis had an ERA over 5 in B3 so I hope he plays to form for the Royals. lol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 233 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Tue, May 01, 14:27 | but timing, by letting the guy go to the waiver wire, you didn't get anything for him. so even though skineej may have paid 4.5 mil, maybe a million more than he would have given you, you get nothing. that is a great move. Matt G def dropped the ball. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 234 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 15:25 | What I got is irrelevant. I wasn't looking for much for him. The point is that if some managers begin ignoring trade options in order to get players off of waivers then those managers are going to pay for it in other ways. MattG is just stupid and most of you are as sharp as cotton because nobody here even noticed it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 235 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Tue, May 01, 15:34 |
So many people put 10 guys in an email. basically saying, these guys are going to go to the waiver wire, unless some one wants to give me something for them. so why would we want to bail you out? maybe some one thinks they can get a deal with a trade, but for the most part, players who are able to be released are not that great. Also, Matt G was taken to school as far as GSB goes. oh well, it happens. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 236 | Brock ID: 26328214 Tue, May 01, 15:48 |
"MattG is just stupid and most of you are as sharp as cotton because nobody here even noticed it." Do you think any of us really care? Get a life. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 237 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 15:55 |
What are you talking about Wammie? If you don't understand the ramifications of those kind of transactions then just shut up. Brock why'd you fork over money to play a game that you don't care about? What an idiot... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 238 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Tue, May 01, 16:12 |
do i understand the ramifications? well, you and 1/2 the other owners in there have too many players. so you want to trade some. you pick out the ones who you don't really want, and tell every one, you want to trade them. you will trade a bunch for a stud prospect, or any of them for pretty much any money. well, if no one picks up these players, you are getting hurt by paying fines. so by not trading with you, you lose money, which is a good thing for the rest of us. so you decide not to lose any more money, and cut your losses. you release the player you found the least valuable. you value the fine money over the player. some one else picks the guy up off of waivers. you are pissed because you got nothing for him. skineej gets a guy he wants, and doesn't have to give you anything. he gives it to the "bank" if you will. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 239 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 16:34 | At no point in the season have I been over the player limit at any level. You are wrong... again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 240 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Tue, May 01, 16:37 |
what ever, that is one example. so you have some prospects that you know are not going to play on your mlb team. so you try to trade them. maybe you are not getting fined, but your are over your 40 man roster limit. What ever. the point I am making is that if no owners bail out people who have a bunch of guys to trade, then you are likely to find them on the waiver wire insted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 241 | skinneej Sustainer ID: 61472219 Tue, May 01, 16:41 | Here's the real truth to the story. I do remember seeing you post that Travis was available, but I had no interest in him at the time since I already had Travis (aka Red Clark). I didn't check to see what kind of contract Travis was signed to as I had no interest. When I noticed a few days later that he was on the WW and his contract was cheap, of course I put in for him then. I came back the next day just before 5 pm and saw his bid was up to 4.5 mil. I was going to forget him, but since Clark was signed to 2 years 9.6 mil, I figured even if I upped the bid I would still come out on top. I put a few feelers out, and Clark was snatched up end of story. So just because you say it was a "cheap" move, there was no intent to screw you. However, seeing your reaction and accusations without anything to back them up, I'd say you got what you deserve. Of course, I didn't really have to explain all this, I could just say it was good managing on my part. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 242 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 17:15 | I'd say my accusations were just backed up 100%. I have a pretty good memory so we'll see who gets what they deserve because these types of things have a way of coming back around. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 244 | Brock ID: 371582223 Tue, May 01, 17:30 |
Wammie is right this time. Instead of giving money to another owner, the money was given to the bank like he said. If he could have gotten Travis for $250K from Timing then it wasn't worth it. I have no idea what post 237 has to do with post 236. We could care less about noticing whatever it was that you're talking about. Timing is ranting. I love it!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 245 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Tue, May 01, 18:12 |
Timer is pissed off because he didn't get any money out of the deal. Suck it up, it is only a little bit of money, & if you think that it was a dumb move using the waiver wire insted of trading with you, then you think the move hurt him. That is probalby a good thing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 246 | WiddleAvi ID: 392232118 Tue, May 01, 19:02 | Timing.....I don't remember what you were asking for but if you were asking for prospects then I would rather pay money then give up prospects. So by not trading with you and picking him up off the waiver wire he got to keep his prospect. Now if you were trading him for cash then thats a different story. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 247 | Matt G ID: 35641319 Tue, May 01, 19:23 |
I have no idea what the hell is going on. unlike timing I have a life outside GSB, the only reason I made that move was because I needed some Bullpen help. Apparently some Travis character was up for trade, whatever, I got clark for some prospect I never would have used. As for calling me stupid, consider the source. i feel dumber just because i read your posts. Regarding this whole fiasco, its finals week, I am not around because I am paying for my education, therefore I give a damn about it. So I will see you all next week when I am 1. On vacation in my backyard with my laptop 2. at work in an airconditioned office. for being a stupid manager, my team isn't doing all that bad, is it? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 248 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Tue, May 01, 20:06 | This season, but not in 4 or 5 seasons when you are surrounded by better oweners Matt G | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 249 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 21:08 | MattG as usual you don't know what the hell is going on. We have considered the source and that's why we know it's TRUE. How did you even get in this league? You should donate your team to Goodwill so that some poor kid can be kept off the streets in his spare time. You got jacked like a crippled old lady getting her purse stolen and you didn't even realize it until it was pointed out to you. Chump... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 250 | TB ID: 44334240 Tue, May 01, 22:16 |
I don't exactly remember an email or post about Travis but I know you must have sent one because somebody else confirmed it. I check the waiver wire at least every other week and noticed a decent RP signed to a cheap long term deal. Seeing how I have had no less then 4 pitching injuries and 2 hitting injuries this season, I wanted to sign him for depth. I am the one who took the bid from like 200K to 4.5 million. I had to leave so I put a value on what I thought he was worth. I wish it was silent bidding like the NL. Congrats on winning both games at your house Brock. You rocked my two best starters. Neither one got the loss, though. Looks like you got some pay back and won some games where the other teams pen blew it. 2 and a half games back. It is officially a pennant race, Timing. I am also 5 games up for the wild-card spot. Rough two weeks for Kyle and his anti-groupie team. I believe he went from leading his division to 6.5 games back for division and wild card. We won't even talk about the what happened to Wammie and his Cubs....ouch! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 251 | Brock ID: 371582223 Tue, May 01, 22:43 | The Law Firm didn't fair too well. My team finally got back to the .500 mark. Too bad there's not about 5 more weeks in the season. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 252 | Timing ID: 34328713 Tue, May 01, 22:47 |
My team is like that boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Down hill... down... down... lol AND Randy Brown is out the rest of the regular season! @*&$^ My team is embarrassing right now. Someone must have put a curse on it. I need a live chicken and some goats blood... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 253 | Wammie ID: 437541618 Tue, May 01, 22:51 | I hear that Timing. I have gone from a double digit lead all season long in the NL Central, to getting swept by the Reds and now only having a 3.5 game lead in the Central! This crap with being 30 games over .500 at home and 15 games under .500 on the road is crazy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 254 | TB ID: 44334240 Tue, May 01, 23:48 |
.....and that is why we play a full season. One team might start off better or have an easier schedule. They didn't fare well Brock, but your starters weren't spectacular either. Neither teams ERA's went down after that two game series. It sure seems like we played 6 games at your place and 4 at mine this year. If so, I believe we split. Congrats to the Giants for having the first two 20 game winners. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 255 | Whitey Sustainer ID: 2543539 Wed, May 02, 07:50 |
Brock - You won another series from me, but I did get to put an ass-woopin on you in game 2 of the series. Your team has gotten better as the season went on. Actually so has mine, but you can't really notice it because of the horrible start I had. Charlie Browne (1B) up to 498 AVG in AAA for me, he is champing at the bit to be brought up to the bigs next season... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 256 | Wammie ID: 20039259 Wed, May 02, 08:39 | TB, I have a better team than the damn Reds, but they managed to sweep me. i have been falling apart. if the season was 5 more sims, i have no doubt i would lose the central. hopefully i can hold on over the next 2. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
