We have a thread for forming a new league, what ever. lets talk in here about season 9. there is likely going to be a season 10, so we still have a couple months of p2 to play.
What the hell has gotten into the Dodgers!?! |

Steroids.
You forgot to put *Elite* in the title...lol
NL came into AL parks and put a whooping on. Rangers represented well but the rest were either splits or wins for the NL. I also noticed that the NL has only one team with a losing record. Pimpster came in and knocked Montgomery around a bit. He is hoping that he gets a chance to play those guys again in the post-season.

I was looking at league stats. Mets have 21 homers! Took a look at team and saw that rookie Branyan is the main culprit. 345 average rating but a 495 HR rating. The guy's stars are 2-4-4. To think that I don't even bother rating guys with less than three stars for average. Wonder if he will keep up the over .300 OBP?
Walks are down so far this year, K's are up. My team 5.85 ERA is taking me nowhere pretty fast.

I'm pretty happy with Branyan, I'm expecting a .200 AVG from him and about 20 homers a year. So far so good!
What I don't get is how Bowles has the 4th best batting average in the NL, yet also leads the world in strikeouts!!!!

Been trying to log on today and peek at upcoming draft choices. The site has been horrible the last couple days. I can't get onto site right now. If the commish starts double sims for us I figure I had better get draft ranked.

Yall ever heard the song Dope Fiend? I dunno it was like a hot song in the early 90's. Brock with all his crack fiend talk reminded me of that song. Anyone know who sings it? Jazzy Red or somethin I think.
I may need to trade for some power, my team's like last in homers. Ugh!

I am with you there. My long home stand has been crap. I am a game or two in back of the Indians and barely over .500
Yes, the Indians. Everyone of my teams has sucked for the last week. Normally I would have at least one team doing well.
My hitting is fine but my pitching just keeps getting worse and worse. I don't even understand how my young RP Walker is carrying a 5+ ERA. I compare him to relievers from the teams I am playing and just wonder if I pissed the commish off.
To top it off, the guy has 5 whole weeks in the majors and wants 4 million a year to sign to a long term deal. Now, I don't sign anyone to long term deals usually until after the second season but wanted to peek at what price would be. I kinda hate that the commish just randomly changes the sim or the rules to the game without some type of advance warning.
"Howdy guys, for this weeks sim, only pitchers with a 450+ BB won't get shelled after 3 innings pitched. If you have any hitters with over a 450 average don't put them in an odd numbered spot in your batting order for games 2 and 4 because I am testing new K' patterns or they will just ground out."
Hmm, sounds bitter. Read the below slowly. The guy has a wee bit of an Irish or Scottish accent when he talks
A guy walks into an emergency room with a steering wheel imbedded into his crotch. The nurse on duty looks at him and says, "Did you know you have a steering wheel sticking out of your pants?"
The guy calmly looks at the nurse and replies, "Why yes I do. It's driving me nuts."
I say it every year, but this game is so friggin random that it sure drives me nuts at time. Not to be confused with driving my nuts.....lol

Well, finally Some talk in here. My team is hot just got done giving whitey a ass whoppin and swept him. Now i get Brock... man can my schedule get any harder? Fielder is finally hitting like he should hes batting around 350 and he has 10 homers already.

PP, You will not get any sympathy from me and your schedule. We all have tough ones in the NL.
What more do you want of Fielder. (Man I wish I would have never traded him) If was going to play a 162 game season, at this rate he would have
AVG .355
H 218
R 162
2B 8
3B 0
HR 81
RBI 162
BB 105
K 56
SB 32
E 16
I would say that he is hitting better than he should be. Look for him to slow down a bit. Those kinds of numbers over a season would put you in the hall of fame alone!

You contradict yourself, my team's pitching staff is one of the the top staffs in p2. I can't believe you scored as many runs against me as you did. The only way I can explain it is you hacked gsb. and we all thought grt would give an unfair advantage, what about brock's hacking?

I got a steal with those sh!tty prospects. I proposed a trade to Worm, emailed him and told him that they were good players, especially King, and he accepted. Obviuosly he's not the brightest guy when it comes to GSB. I see that he's the Cubs now anyway. Similar money is spent on 4 star AVG Northern Leaguers anyway. I'm sorry for taking advantage of a retard.

Wammie - your starting pitching is average(only 2 decent starters) and your relief is a little above average just because you have Clontz. Other than Clontz, you don't have sh!t in the pen.

My pitching staff is not dominate, but all four starters are above well above average. my bull pen is anchored by Clontz, but Medina has good numbers too. his FB rateing is very low, but he is ok for the bullpen. slow-cum has damn good numbers, though he does give up the big inning every now and again.
The trade was one sided for Brock indeed, but I dont' think it swings the balance of power any where. Since I am the only other consistant gurupie in his the NL Best, I would me mostly effected by his trades, and it doesn't bother me that much.
If any one else has a problem just post it and we'll talk about it. this is a sad day for the NL, one of the weakest managers in GSB has moved into our league. we all must pick it up a notch or two to make up for this!

I think you are right Timing. It does look as if it were reversed. the commish said something on the message boards a while ago about bad trades having some sort of penalty and that he would reverse ones that he deemed bad for lack of a better word. maybe he got in on this one.

Worm, I assume that supposed line is from major league, but jo bo needs a refill.
I can't wait to whip your ass worm. Timing has been having all the fun, and it is all of our turns in the NL. I already beat up on your squad once this year, and I will do it again. It will be sweeter this time though. are you going to use the Key Reliver thing or play traditional worm? against me you can do what ever you want to win. I don't care because all of the NL will dominate over you. we are far superior managers over here. You just went from pee wee to the majors. Don't know how you were picked over some of the more established owners to get a promotion to such an "elite" status, but good luck to you. you will need it!

The trade Brock proposed wasn't the best but I have still seen worse. King is a viable prospect and Berger is playing on J's team under the name of Branyan.
I bet if you tossed Berger onto your MLB team and let him play two games he gets a HR.
I will give you some cash for King if you want to trade him.

The reason the commish reversed the trade was not that it was unfair. He did it because Worm changed teams right after it happened. He probably wouldn't allow a team to make moves and then swich teams within the same league. It prevents things like Worm trading all his money to the Cubs before he gained control of them.

I don't want any sympathy. People know my team was sh!tty, and they can see that I am now putting a quality team on the field. Back at the beginning of the game, I traded you Bohanon in an attempt to get some tallent on my team. Had I known the value the best sp in all of gsb, that deal wouldn't have happened. You would not have won as many games. That is my biggest mistake ever in GSB. I would have been competeing much sooner for division titles. But oh well, live and learn!

Worm, you seem to know that you belong in the cellar. I would expect nothing less from an AL manager trying to make it in the NL. I am actually offended that the Commish would put you in the NL if the Royals could have been your team. You haven't earned the right to play in the NL

I hope Worm kicks your butt. At first I misread what you said. I thought it said Brock talks out his Wammie.
I still think Worm is the catsup on your french fries but this beat down has been pretty funny.
For what it's worth Worm, I thought Brock was asking for a little too much cash but there were two players worth it and the pitchers were actually an improvement over what that Mariner team has.
J, I was going to offer him a player for nothing just to see if he turned it down. Can't do it now that he will be looking for it, but thought it would be funny.

Okay, so after my last post I log in to see if Brock counter-bid on the catcher. I see a couple other trade offers from the Dodgers from out of nowhere.
I swear, this guy sends me trade offers annually that are usually out of the blue. When I see Negrette as part of the deal I almost decline right away but decide to look at players. Then I look at Negrette, 34 and kinda overpaid. I got some youth in the deal and I am always a sucker for some cash. Then I look at Magee. He has been solid for me for years but he is getting old too and I get a younger OF that isn't as good but some young prospects and my favorite, more cash.
Personally, I think it is a great trade for me. Doesn't help my chances to make it back to the series this year, but adds some depth for future years.
Anyone think I shouldn't have done it?
TB
PS. I didn't think that catcher was worth 5 mil Brock, but the Dodgers tossed all that cash my way and I hate to see you come into the merger poor after spending 40 mil on NL players.

POWER RANKINGS....
I was bored so decided to do some power ranking there are Bases on AVG SLG OBP ERA AND WINNING PERCENTAGE
I did it rotissiere (sp?) style. So say the Royals have best ERA they get 16 pts then Braves are second with 15 pts and so on.
Well here they are (note in case of a tie I put the team with a better Winning Percentage ahead of the other)
Maximum amount of points 80
1. Braves (75)
2. Mets (74)
3. Royals (68)
4. Orioles (68)
5. Cubs (49)
6. Dodgers (44)
7. Rangers (44)
8. Yankees (42)
9. Astros (40)
10. Red Sox (38)
11. Indians (34)
12. Padres (34)
13. Cardinals (33)
14. White Sox (30)
15. Giants (12)
16. Mariners (6)
Total Points for Division
1. NL East (231)
2. AL East (182)
3. AL West (148)
4. NL West (130)
NL VS AL
1. NL (361)
2. AL (330)
There ya have it boys Braves are best team, NL West is the worst division and NL is better then AL
Lets see what happens in a couple days when I do it again.

This year I would have to say that the NL East has top to bottom the most solid divison. Followed by the NL West. When your worst team is coming off of a WS, that is pretty good. The West would be solid too, but Al's Giants can't get it going. If his team was playing up to par, we would have gridlock again in the NL

Brock, you are a nut.
Pimpster, good job on the power rankings. Kinda funny that season after season I have been telling the nerds in the NL West their division is the worst and you back it up with some data. I don't think there has been any doubt that the NL East has been the toughest division since about season 3.
Just for the heck of it I tossed a couple trade offers at ya Worm. The Cubbies have a pretty nice line-up. You need another good OF. Their pitching is weak. Two solid looking players in Wright and Ryan, though.

Brock - You wonder how owners like SanFran build up their team into powerhouses??? Look at the trades between TB and the Dodgers..there's your answer.
TB - Should you have done it, are you kidding me??? You took total advantage of that jacka$$ because it's his last season and he wants to win it all. He got an old reliever and an old outfielder and he gave up a ton of cash, a couple insane prospects and a few very solid major leaguers. I mean, that guy Dixon is almost as good as Negrette himself...
One of the worst trades in our league's history. I really am getting sick of people taking advantage of stupid owners, those trades weren't cool..
By the way, there's no way the Dodgers are winning crap this season and those two trades didn't help them one bit...what a f#@$ing joke!

I know that SanFran didn't acquire his players this way. His guys weren't young prospects. They were established ML's. Some he probably proposed trades to an owner, the owner accepted them, and then the owner left. Either that or he had no competition when it came to FA. I would say both happened.

If a team a real major league team needs two players to make them a ws winner, they might trade away a few of their top prospects. hard to say. But that is a lot of the problem with this league ending, and still taking these teams into another league. Since I am not taking this team with me, what is to keep me from giving all of my players to one of the other p2ers? nothing really

Whitey,
Pretty strong words. I was wondering where you have been lately. Seeing how I got Negrette from you several seasons ago, you know what a stud he is. A great reliever can win many games and he was a key player in my championship last season.
Magee is a stud OF and is close to the career leader board in OBP .376 and SLG .431. His season stats are even better and again, he was a key player in both of my championships.
Do I feel like I got the best end of that trade? Most certainly. I feel that way in every trade or I wouldn't make them. Did I take advantage of the Dodgers? Hell no. He proposed the trade and we never even talked in email. I almost didn't accept it. Having 50 great prospects doesn't win championships. Having a solid MLB line-up does. It greatly lessons my chances of winning the series again this year and that is what I try to do every year.
Different philosophys for every owner. What I don't understand is why you are so damn bitter about everyone elses trades. He needs another OF and you still have plenty. I am betting you could trade him a good OF and obtain a couple prospects.
I also didn't know he was leaving GSB but it still doesn't matter. It was a good trade. One where he felt he strengthened his MLB team and chances of winning this year. Heck, I just looked at his minor league system and he has great prospects at every level. He didn't even hurt his team for future competitiveness.
Here I go, defending a good trade on my part:
Dixon- lifetime he has given up more than one hit per inning, lifetime losing record and 4.5+ERA. Currently a 2-4 record with a 6.19 ERA.
Tucker- scrub player available for any team that wants him or will rot on my A team until he turns 30. Lifetime 7-12, 6.16 ERA.
Andra- 2 year SP prospect, will have a low CU and probably sub 400 Control.
Kennedy- 2 year 2B prospect with 3-3-2 stars. Don't see much potential.
Gann- 26 year old, 3 year OF prospect. Looks like he will be a stud.
Basically I traded away my stud pitcher from the pen for a stud OF prospect, a decent SP prospect, and at best an average pitcher for my pen that will lose more games for me then Negrette would have.
Real unfair trade there. Wait a sec, he tossed in 12 million dollars. I sure needed that, I was almost below 100 million.

It's been a very hostile Whitey on this board for the last couple weeks....it all started with that debacle in the World Series...and then comes season 9. Suddenly my team which has been the top NL team for 5 or 6 seasons forgets how to play...
I tried to deal with that prick from the Dodgers but he insists on giving me prospects that I tell him I don't need (outfielders)
Keep trying to tell yourself that it was a fair trade, TB. You're not gonna convince me though...this league is becomaing a joke. We even have teams now without owners...The AL is falling apart as we speak...how long can the Royals run on auto-pilot before they collapse???
Most owners in this league are not interested in a trade that will help both sides...some of the owners who I have a real probably dealing with are TB, J and Timing...you guys will never accept a trade unless you get the better of it, that's weak....
I gotta get back to check on my team and see which eight men have been paid off this season... (Chicago Black Sox reference for those scoring at home)
Braves/Astros in the NLCS
Royals/Orioles in the ALCS
Braves/Orioles in the WS

Definitely bitter.
I don't need to convince myself. I do think I came out on the better end. I am looking at the future and he wants to win now. I have made the same trades in the past that the Dodgers are making. Gave up lots of prospects and cash for players, to win that year.
You are being so damn high and mighty. I suppose you make all your trades for the betterment of the league? Lets see, this trade really helps my team more than yours I so I won't make it. That is weak Whitey. Your teams is sucking and so you are going to be irrational about it. None of us were out trying to trade a scrub like Peterman.
For the record, you have made more trades with me then any other owner. I came out and gave you a better trade for Negrette then what you expected and I have made many trades with many teams. I think most will agree that I make fair trades. I also still see Higginson and Harriger playing for your team. That trade wasn't better for my team but I made it because I didn't want the league upset.
Take a good look at your own roster and think back to your trades for some of those players. Nobody was getting all bitter on you when I thought you got the better end of a trade.
The league isn't a joke. Owners that don't want to pay to play are losing interest. Our core of guys are still here and kicking.
Nobody can win every single year. Take a step back, reload, and then start kicking butt again.

PS. I can't think of one time where you and started talking trade and it we didn't come up with a fair offer for both sides.

Wow, TB. I didn't think you had it in you....I actually got you to sling the mud back at me....
"Definitely bitter" - you're absolutely right
"You're being so damn high and mighty" - you're wrong here
"Your teams is sucking and so you are going to be irrational about it. None of us were out trying to trade a scrub like Peterman." - that one hurt, I have to admit...kicking a guy when he's down
I do admit I jumped the gun by saying you don't make fair trades...we have made a lot of fair trades in the past. I also didn't think it would get quite a rise out of you like it did..I never intend to take any personal shots at anyone who I feel I get along with in our league(that includes TB, J, Timing, Wammie, pimpster, Brock, worm..did I leave anybody out?). I know we talk a lot of 4Hit at times, but iut usually done in good fun and we know when to draw the line (except for worm!!) I need to apologize to TB for questioning his integrity though, that wasn't right
I still stand behind my statement that J and Timing are really tough to do a deal with, but that doesn't mean I dislike them at all.
I think I do need to take a step back...this stupid game is driving me nuts!!!

Whitey - what's the point of making a trade if it doesn't help your own organization?
I think the reason I'm on that list was because of last year and Norton. My reasoning for not trading him to you was this:
-You were a few games up on me.
-It would improve your team more than it would improve mine.
Now, in hindsight, I wish I would've done the trade, because I never did trade Norton and you won the division anyways!!!!! Now I have nothing.

You were correct with the genius GM part Whitey.

Ya know, since he got the Cubs I haven't seen him get beat around but I have seen the Padres get the beatdown. Brock, glad to see that you finally realized you are going to start the offseason earlier than contenders and are trading away your MLB players for some prospects.
I played in a dart league and a pool league. Both were just good reasons to go out and drink some beer.
Whitey, I was never upset and didn't feel like I was slinging anything back. You just needed a bitch-slap to get back into reality. I saw that Worm did that for you tonight, too.
=)
Seriously, though, I know you are pretty serious about this damn game and are competitive. Every now and then your team is just going to suck and you gotta drive on and kick butt the next year. Just be happy your not Brock or Wammie and switch off good year for bad year and back again. If GSB wasn't going to a pay-site they would both be looking up at the Dodgers for years.
The Dodger owner has taken a while to catch onto this game but I believe he is the original owner. So I guess he can be credited with the two worse trades in GSB history. If his teams makes it to the series, then he is a genius.
BTW, you can check out Dixon's debut with the O's in game three against the Rangers. The score is very indicitive of his performance.
Timing has been the hardest person to trade with in this league but he has made me great trades in Y2. He was building for the future with this team and I remember him telling you a couple times he didn't want your old guys.
J always gives me a good deal. He starts off with a scrubby offer sometimes but he likes to test your sobriety level prior to negotiations.
Brock and me have a policy. All trades will be accepted within 15 seconds(inside joke with Lundberg and Thompson)
Wammies team is always full of scrubs and no reason to trade with him.
Worm, I know you saw my trade offer. Post 87 made me laugh. Accept the one for Stromsburgh. He is better than your 3rd and 4th OF and I am asking a whopping 250K. I would give him to you but with all the trades lately I don't want the commish to see anything looking like collusion.
Pimpster and me almost had an awesome trade. If only he could have kept to his losing ways. Man, I had the squeeze on him.....lol
Hey Wammie, it really isn't much fun giving you a hard time lately if you aren't going to fight back.

I noticed something tonight in another thread and hadn't really thought about it. Except for the Cubs we have all the original owners in the NL. That might explain why it is indeed a better overall conference. Yep, TB has no problem admitting it. Doesn't mean I think you have the best teams every year but overall it is more competitive.
Here are the teams:
NL East
Braves - Purple Pimp
Mets - J
Cards - Whitey
Cubs -Sanchez(2),Josie(1),f{}ck stick who jacked bids, last guy, now Worm
NL West
Giants - AL
Padres - Brock
Astros - Wammie
Dodgers - Philip Mendoza
AL East
Orioles - TB(only original guy in AL East)
Yankees - Chiz, been around a while(7-8 seasons?)
Red Sox - Outlaw aka St Louis Pyschos, been around for 3-4 seasons
Indians - Boomer, been around 4-5 seasons but team was mismanaged by Twarpy after season three and never recovered
AL West
Royals - Logos(original,just quit) no owner
Rangers - Timing, been here since season 3
ChiSox - MikeMaz, then some guy would just recently left and now no owner
Mariners- Myriad of owners, constantly mismanaged and recently abandoned by the new and improved trash talking Worm.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think Chiz joined after second season.
Overall, it is no wonder that the Mariners, Indians, and Cubs have been pretty bad the last 6-7 seasons. I remember the Mariners being a contender back in the first couple seasons.

Trust me, the Dodgers owner and Sanchez had something going on. They were both from Edmonton, Alberta. They made the most lopsided trade in GSB history. It's even worse now when you look back on it, 2 stud startes for nothing but garbage. I don't know what you're talking about TB. The Dodgers would never win my division had I not made trades with them. They had average pitching and well below average hitting before all the trades. Now they have good pitching but their hitting is just average. I'll still win the division. I've played 1 home series so far. 7 of my next 8 series are at home. That's at least 18 wins. I'm only 3 games out of first place even with my horrible schedule. You better be ready for a big fat "I told you so" next Thursday night.

I used to call it a big fat doobie, because that's what your smokin'
I agree, their hitting is still average but that's better then the rest of the competition in the NL Worst.
I sure could use some pitching myself. It is going to be real embarrassing when the ownerless Royals win the AL.

Brock, your team was better at the start of the season than it is now. you sure as hell aren't winning the West. Watch for Al to pass brock in the standings before it is over.
TB, I don't have not traded with you very much if at all, so you probably don't have a feel for my trading. I have made several trades with Whitey for instance. You are right that I haven't had a lot of players worth trading for though. Now that my team is decent, I usually have to wait until after the draft to make any moves, so I have a few prospects that I can trade.
Finally glad to see that TB has realized that the NL is so much better. The lie must have been eating away at him!
Worm got lucky as sh!t tonight. too bad i already played the cubs earlier. I would like to get another shot at him, but it looks like I will be playing the Braves or Mets in the playoffs. too bad for worm
Brock, it was nice to see that you couldn't even start a guy with a stamina above 200 in Shiell's spot. he is a far better pitcher than Shiell, you were right. I am sure you will comment on his 4 inning 1 run, but lets see how he does after 2 or 3 starts.
Back to any one wanting prospects, I have a few, and will trade them for a hitter or SP. I would even trade them for a damn good bullpen pitcher if it came down to it.

So what do you call a big fat doobie now? I sure did kick the White Sox's ass when we played. I believe the NL dominated the AL. Maybe you should look at you own division before you start saying sh!t about mine. How are all those "No Owner" teams doing??? I see the Royals have the best reocrd in the AL. That just proves how tough the AL really is. The NL Best is what it is.

Wammie - Worm sure did get lucky against your sorry ass. If only he would not have blown you out 2 games, you would have swept him. You sure did lay a smack down on him too in the wins you got against him. I would say the GSB gods were on your side tonight with those 2 blown saves Worm had.
I told you I had a stud to fill Shiell's shoes. He did a damn good job too. Hoepfully he'll get some ROY votes.

You guys do crack me up. Slammie, I was just messing with you but still didn't get much of a smackdown from you. I think we have made a trade or two.
Brock, I think Wammie is right. The Giants will be passing you soon. If you were an AL opponent you would be quitting as well. You would get tired of getting your butt kicked by the Royals and O's every year.
I gotta get home and to bed. I sure hope you come up with some new material soon, Brock. You are gonna need it when I slam you with the "I told you so" come next week.
I forgot to give Timing Props for post # 95. That was pretty damn funny. I would have mentioned it earlier but Whitey was still being a dwarf.

Brock - How can you say that you have a chance against the Stros and Dodgers when you traded the best player in the history of GSB in Brogna (or is he the 2nd best?) ;)
If you were going to contend this season, there is no way you would have traded Brogna and Romano.
Now, I'm wondering if I should go the same route as Brock...I have some studs that I could unload for nice prospects (Joyner, Feramisco, Higginson, Caraciolli, etc)..
I will know after this 16 game homestand where I stand. If I am within 4 games of first, then I have a shot. Tonight should be a good gauge as to where my team is at, if I lose 3 out of 4 to the Cubs at home, it's sayanara for the Cardinals..

Whitey - when your loaded like the Pads, you can trade away all-stars and still have all-stars to fill their shoes. You won't be able to get much for your players. The Dodgers have been picked clean of all their prospects. I doubt if any other team is going to make any deals with you that would be close to what the Dodgers would have given you if you'd have done this earlier. I'm still looking to trade a couple of guys.

sorry mammie that i cant get another chance against you. i would have made it count this time. but i do still have my series against brock tonight and i have to get prepared for that.
if i keep splitting against teams then i will never gain any ground on the braves cause for some odd reason people in this league cant seem to beat them. so what do you say, who ever plays the braves tonight give the worm a gift and SWEEP them!!

I wouldn't say I snowed him. More like taking advantage of a situation, much like TB and I have done with the Dodgers. We're getting rid of our old players to teams that want to try to win the World Series. We all know that Worm hasn't been the brightest when it comes to trades. I figured I could get the most from him. The Dodgers were trying to get both of them from me but they didn't have much left to offer. I mad a few offers to Worm. I was actually hoping to get more than what I did. I'm happy anyway though.
Is anybody interested in Ben Petrick?

The Dodgers aren't done yet...he wants Joyner AND Higginson. Here is an e-mail I sent back to him regarding a trade offer he proposed. I'm not going to give up those guys unless it's the right offer:
"Well, I did reject it, but it is a little more interesting. Here are my thoughts.
the first baseman you offered in return is a decent player, but nowhere near Joyner. I can understand that though since you want to upgrade him. Now the other three,
Bell and Brower are just about done increasing (if they haven't stopped already) so that puts them as average ML players. If Brower can't get at least that third rating above 400 I don't think he will do much in ML.
Casimiro is young but the best he will probably be is a one-dimensional player with no power, gap or speed. Norberto Martin I feel will be a better player that is why I was requesting him.
In summary, do you really think that the four players you offered plus cash (I don't need the cash) is equal to 2 established MLers like Higgy and Joyner?
Bell and Brower are interesting to me, but there would have to be some other nice players to go along with them for Joyner and Higgy to bid adieu to the Cardinals"

worm - I wouldn't even have traded Wright and Crespo straight up for Trace and Bluma. And you also gave him 2 prospects and cash. I'm sorry, but that was a dumb trade.
I also don't think it is right what some managers are doing by emptying out their farm system to try and win for this last season. These guys won't even be around to suffer through the 5-10 seasons of rebuilding that their teams will need. I could understand if the Dodgers owner was willing to stick around, but since he is not I will have to put an asterisk next to his name after he wins the NL.
Does anyone agree that he is building a super-team by devious methods?
*** By the way, I think I'm done with the P2 league. I might just stick with SW Hoops for a while now. Most of you guys are really cool to interact with so hopefully we can still keep in touch whether it be SW hoops, baseball or even GSB down the road.

If you'd explained yourself better we probably could understand better but when you say you're quitting cause you don't want to waste time with this game because of what's happened in the last few weeks. What the heck does that mean?
The only thing I see different is that you're in last place and other people are making trades that you don't like. Anyways, it's our communication, rivalries, and activity that sets us apart from most leagues, not who has how much talent or who wins the Series every year.

Let me try to elaborate on my thoughts. I have had an absolute blast playing this game from the beginning (yes, even when my team sucked for the first 3 seasons). I enjoy the unique features of this game as well as league aspect where you create rivalries and trash-talking buddies. I am just a little nervous about the direction that our league and others our heading.
For this reason, I would prefer a start-from -scratch league. I would love to see all of us from P2 join with some other dedicated GSB owners and form a fresh league.
To avoid being remembered as the a-hole that quit on the rest of the league, I would play out the remaining seasons of P2. Believe me, my intention wasn't to piss off an entire league. It was more of a personal decision.
I am not a quitter, have never been a quitter. I have been playing sports all my life and still do. That's part of the reason why I enjoy these fantasy or simulation games, the competitive nature of them. Many of you know that I am very competitive as are many of you. It's tough to understand someone's entire personality or motivation in life just from a message board so don't judge me based on my decision to leave the league. Like I said, I will finish out the remainder of seasons until it goes to a pay site..that was way too long of a post for this thread.... ;)

I thought we were all with the merger. At least it sure seemed that way. I guess Chiz can take Whitey's place if Whitey is bolting.
BTW, my Rangers have scored more runs that anyone in both leagues and even though my pitching has sucked royally so far it still has the 3rd best ERA in the AL. I started off with road games against the Royals, Orioles, and Yankees but I end up with a ton of home games so we'll see what happens between now and the end of the season.

I'm with the merger. The problem I have with the draft, TB brought this up I believe, is that if somebody doesn't rank their draft or they don't get the players they want, it would be easy for them to just quit. Then that team would most likely be sh!tty for a long time because no owner is going to want to pay to take over a bad team. By merging, the owners obviously have a team they're satisfied with and will continue to improve it, minus Worm of course.

From the way the commish talks about things, I would say the pay site will be implemented within a month or so.

Yeah I think the pay site is probably less than a month away. I seriously doubt we'll get in another full season after this one.

I am going to draft for sure. I will also be doing the merger if that is what we all decide to do. I think that the draft would be fine. The draft will just help ensure more even teams than what the league started off with from the start. it will help from teams like my Astros being compared and the Cubs. Sure, some people will draft better, but at least you will have a chance to not have such a sh!tty team as me. the one thing I wonder about the draft is contracts and such.
What is a win or tie owner, the same as a win or tie fan. Any fan(or owner) who cheers for their team if they are winning. They hate the team when they are losing, but as soon as the team is doing good, they are the biggest fans ever. The tie is added in there, because if the team is tied, they will still cheer. they only hate the loser.
I know some one out there has heard of this.

Whatever Wammie. You should be very familar with that phrase Mr. Chicago Bulls. Why do you constantly bring up the fact that you got dealt a bad team from the start? I think you are the only one that uses that as an excuse. I get sick and tired of seeing you write that. Your team was just as good as most of the others. Sure there were a few really good teams at the start(Royals and Cubs) but most of the others were equal. Face it, it took you a while to get the hang of the game. That's it.

OK Brock look at it from that end, there won't be any free top notch teams in the league. if you want to have a top notch team from season 1, you have to do your homework on the draft a hell of a lot more than the other guys. The draft will be a lot more fair than if we all just started in a new league, and had the sim divide up the players as it did when we started p2. That is the point I am trying to make. Hell back then Sanchez won two WS with out even cheating.

I totally agree with you Wammie. What happens if owners quit after a season or 2? A draft league will be much more difficult to attract new owners to after it's started. That's the only bad thing I can see from it.

A draft league would be no more difficult than a league that was just generated to attract new owners. Also, if people buy x number of seasons, they will play for that long.

My problem with a draft is this: I don't necessarilly have the time to do my homework on the draft. Drafting a whole franchise seems like a hell of alot of "homework"!!!
Also, I've put alot of time into this Mets thing and I dont wanna just throw that away.
If P2 stays together, I'll bring my Mets with me, if P2 goes for a draft, I'll just focus all my GSB energy on my V2 squad.

I would hold off before saying I won't draft. No one knows how the commish will set it up. a new league may be the best thing since sliced bread. I am suprised that no one looks forward to starting fresh on a level playing field with everyone and seeing who the real managers are. All of the players in on your team would be players you made moves for. I think it will be a damn good time.

Do any of yall know how major league service time rules work? If a minor leaguer comes up and plays in one game does he get a full season of major league service? Doesn't sound right to me.

I don't know the details, but I know that a guy can be called up during the expanded roster in the fall and it doesn't really count.

I think Timing is referring to the GSB rules for ML service. I believe if a playe plays one game, it's considered a year in GSB.
Wammie - I was comparing a draft league to a merge league you dolt.

one game in GSB counts as a major league season in gsb.
Brock you commented about Draft vs assigned teams though. You should read my posts more clearly. Also, I doubt you even know the def. of a dolt.

No, I'm talkin about the majors. If a player is called up, plays one game and gets sent back to the minors does he get a full year of major league service? I know the rules of GSB but not sure about MLB. I think it would suck royally to have a player come up for one series in GSB and then get a full season's MLB service for playing one game out of 162.

In MLB, a player is not credited with a year of service for playing only one game. I'm not sure how many games they have to play obtain a year of service but I know it's more than 1.

I don't want to be included on this "Taking advantage of the Dodgers" situation. I accepted a trade offer from him well before he sent out that bogus email saying what he was doing. The real life Yankees go out and buy championships all the time. I won't keep breaking down the trade but two of the players he traded to me for Magee were NL signees. The guy didn't have a whole bunch invested in them.
Whitey,
First off, you are not quitting. We can chat offline but we had this talk a long time ago. If you really consider yourself competitive then prove it. Go rebuild your crusty ass, old team of lifetime overachievers!
;)
Secondly, you are about the hardest headed person when it comes to trades. You look at everything from what value that player would be to your team. You have to look at what the traded players value might be to the losing team. Back in seasons 3-6 I traded a crapload of OF prospects because I had so many. That is what is wonderful about a trade. Your players mean more to my team then they do to yours and mine mean more to your team than they do mine.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, makes trades unless they feel it benefits their team. Like the Padres and Cubs trade. I thought it was very fair. The Padres are obviously done for the year. Step back, reload, and kick butt next year. The Cubs needed a stud pitcher and his stud 1B wouldn't resign with him. He also upgraded at 2B.
Neither of us is judge and jury for other teams trades. Timing said this back in season 5 or 6, "It's like judging women. You might think she is a babe and I think she is a dog"
Well, he said something like that and then went on to say Randy Brown has a nice ass.......lol.
Try not to log onto this thread for a couple days or don't log into team. I know you didn't set your draft card and you sure won't sign on tomorrow to sign them players so they can start improving.
Go get an ice cream cone, or better yet, go get laid. Then get back in here and plan for next year.
TB
