Posted by: Wammie - [437541618] Wed, Jul 04, 02:55

My name is Wammie, and as you all know, Brock and I are friends from high school. And as most of you also know, Worm is in Boston this week visiting a friend. As it turns out that friend is mine. Brock, Worm and I all went to high school together. Now the joke ends, because I have some bad news.

SanFran, we won't be playing any basketball tomorrow, because Worm is in the slammer! For those of you who don't know, I work near China Town in Boston. I have a parking spot in a ramp near my work, so I always park there and then take a taxi or the subway to party from there. Well, worm and i were doing some partying, and we got pretty damn drunk. This sounds tame, but like I said, I park near China Town. And San Fran can probalby tell you, there are lots of hookers in China Town. And a drunken Worm and hookers don't mix. Well they actually do mix, but not when you add an undercover cop.

Any one who wants details of what happened is just plain sick, but I can tell you that Worm is in the slammer for the entire 4th of July. The cop told me there are no judges working tomorrow (the 4th) and that worm will be spending some time "downtown".

Brock, you really should call me about this matter, and San Fran, maybe we can still get worm out on a work release program or something in time to still play some hoops.

You guys cant be serious, I thought something might be up when i waited outside the musuem for the last 45 minutes, and no one showed. So I started thinking, there ditching me, or they probaly changed the time on me, or something messed up like this. Now yes i could have checked rotoguru beofore i left this morning but i guess i was navie in thinking this would all work out. I guess it wasnt ment to be, and on a serious note, dont mess with them hookers, that only leads to trouble.

Let me know wammie if you wanna get together and do something, but untill then take care guys.

You have got to be sh!tting me Wammie. I know Worm likes the nasty nudy bar\whore house in downtown Davenport but picking up a hooker is a little extreme. I guess the answer everybody is dying to know, did he get any? I doubt it. Hopefully he doesn't get out in time and misses his flight back here. He'll never live this one down. Looks like he's going to lose his job at the YMCA. Darryl Strawberry would be proud.

Every trade that worm made with brock and myself were higher quality trades than most that ever happened in p2, and the trades in p2 were a hell of a lot smarter trades than many i have seen in this league.

I can't wait for him to get out of jail though tomorrow morning. I am gonna laugh my ass off at him. I wouldn't be suprised if he has to come back here for some reason later in the summer.

I guess when it comes to the draft, worm is probably hopeing for another day too. he probalby should have used his one phone call to tell me his password so i could have helped him out.

Like your drafting abilities would be any better then random sim drafting.

Just kidding.

Worm has made dumb trades regardless of who he traded to, but he has came out on the worse end in several trades with you and Brock. Trading for players he didn't even put into his line-up.

It doesn't matter, both you and Brock are lucky to even get winning records so it isn't like it affected the league.

I am getting tired of GSB. Seems like every time I turn around I have to rate a draft. It is painfully slow sorting through this crap. The season goes too fast. I would rather play less games every day and actually watch more of the games and spend more time digging through stats or bsing.

League E(lite), lol, seems so dead. I don't even know why I check the forum every day. I log into my team to see if I have an injury, but that doesn't matter. I am going to win 85-100 games every season. Every week the results are almost predictable.

I need to find someone to run my team for a season or two for me. I need to take a break.

TB - We're lucky to win games. That's a good one. I guess you can't add. Through the first 3 seasons, I have 1 more win than you and Wammie has 3 more than you. Maybe you should check out the facts before you type.

The commish needs to implement something where you can rate, for example, all 4 star AVG and 4 star homer guys a certain number and so on. Something like the scout search. I get tired of having to rate the draft too.

I did see that you had more wins then me. Can you spell F-L-U-K-E

Wammie is using a team that was given to him by TGO before the leagues merged, and you drained Worm and Sanchez of all their talent and came in here with a stacked team.

LMAO....okay, so smack talking is why I like this game. It sure in the hell isn't to just log on and see Scott Downs aka Morgan carrying his 5+ ERA. Making the f(uckin' ratings mean something...sheesh. One bad season, sure. Maybe two bad seasons, okay. How about adding an option where you can pay cash, say for a guys injury, and then he pitches like his ratings says he should.

Yea, I like your idea about the draft. I really did a half a$$ draft this year. Rated maybe a hundred guys total. Got all the 4 star average guys and most decent pitchers in there. A huge part of my draft is just sitting in the 4th grouping, unrated. Screw it. It's not like we know who will overdevelop or underdevelop and even if they turn out with Ratings like DOWNS they can still pitch like sh!t.

Hope everyone but Worm had a Happy 4th. He might have gotten laid in jail, though. He probably did. Bet he got himself a new boyfriend.

Todd Dunn and Ron Wright are the only players that I got from Worm or Sanchez that are on my current team. I traded Bluma for Wright the year that Worm made the World Series. That was a fair trade. I got Ricky Stone from Sanchez too. Most of the prospects I got from those guys didn't pan out, especially in a league like this when 470 AVG guys are cut everyday.

You practically killed me by saying a brought a stacked team. I brought my P2 team. I didn't have to bring in another team from a weak league. Why didn't you bring your P2 team TB? I'm just a great GM and finally figured out how the draft worked in about season 5 in P2. I had some pretty good talent come through my system right at the end of P2 and the start of this league. I'm just that DAMN good.

My P2 team was stacked too. All my teams rock.

You are full of crap too. Many of the stud prospects you stole from Sanchez, you traded to get the current major league players you have now. I know I was after Cotton and he is currently playing for San Fran.

My P2 team was too dominant to bring into this weak league. I would have gotten tired of hearing you cry about how bad I beat on you.

That's why you won so much in P2!!! Give me a break.

Cotton is another one but I got him from Sanchez in exchange Jason Shiell and Rico Brogna. Another fair trade to a contender. Cotton was only in his 2nd pro year when I got him. He could have turned out like most of the others. So who else did I get from those guys? You seem to think there were tons of studs.

Your P2 Orioles would be competeing with Worm's Pirates and the Indians for worst team in the league. They were old and most of the stars would have retired by now. you had no farm system and that's the reason you didn't bring them. I was going to try to trade with you for a prospect or 2 but I couldn't find any in your system. That was at the end of P2 when you decided you weren't going to bring your Orioles.

You are right that I did aquire a team from TGO, but i had been running the player development of that team for 4-5 seasons. There were also some trades that hurt the future of my team in order to win WS.

Brock did get a lot of players from Sanchez, but it was timer & whitey who wanted those of us not bringing our p2 teams into the merger to basically give away prospects and good players so p2 could compete. brock was about the only one who was smart enough to get a lot of good players out of p2 into the merger league.

I never onced used GRT. When I found out about it, the commish changed player development. I didn't even know that draft player's ratings went up from week 1-8. Timing, now it all makes since why you were trying to trade for Cotton back in P2. You said you knew he was going to be good but I didn't know it was just because you used GRT. I guess GRT didn't work too well for a lot of you because you don't have very many great prospects.

Brock stop lying. GRT became common knowledge right before the P2 draft that had John Cotton, Wilton Guerrero, Roger Clemens, and a whole bunch of prospects. If you need help checking your lies, go back to the threads for P2. TB and J even posted some of the final stats for a lot of players in that draft.

Why is it the every time your fingers touch the keyboad, absolute nonsense is produced? I had my draft ranked long before TB posted. I remember him posting that stuff too. How am I suppose to know if he's telling the truth or if he even knows what he is talking about? I wasn't about to go back and re-do my draft because of it. I did fine in every draft after I got the hang of it. I didn't need GRT to get good players. Sure I would have used it had I known but I didn't. I've tried the new one and I have found it to be absolutely worthless. Don't go and spout garbage when you have nothing to show for it.

Brock, Timing is right. Those players were from the draft when we all found out about GRT. I figured someone would use it so I posted the "studs" on the forum so we all knew who would turn out great. Every player I did it on turned out at the rating I predicted.

Timing drafted a 4-2-2 SS around the third round that was going to be a dud. I wanted to email him and tell him but was curious if he knew and was going to try and trade him. He never did.

BTW, I did GRT on my entire team before I left it and I didn't need a lot of prospects. The ones I left on my team were all going to be studs. I had well over 100 million dollars, and a damn fine rotation and bullpen. I was also like 37-3 before the merge happened and well on my way to my third World Series Championship. What do you mean by "That's why you won so much in P2!!! Give me a break"? I did win in P2. Season after season. How many times did you miss the play-offs or have a losing record?

I missed the play-offs three times. Never had a losing record. Chiz and his Yankees was the only team that beat me out for the division.

I should have brought the team just to keep whipping your butt (I shouldn't say that, knowing how much you are probably missing Worm's spankings while he is servicing Wammie). I just didn't know if I would have time to run more then one team and felt like keeping my Royals team.

Regardless of what team I have, they will win much more then they will lose. Heck, if I could figure out a way to beat KC, I would have a good chance of making the play-offs every year.

Nobody disputes the fact that you posted your predictions. I doubt that they were all correct either. Look at J for an example. I said I already had my draft rated and made no changes at all. GRT wasn't even proven to work, only by Koontz's word. I sure as hell wasn't going to trust you or him.

You're team was very old. It had a below average farm system, I checked it out like I said. If it was so great, you would have brought them. It wasn't, so you didn't.

You had a winning record every year. How hard is it when there are only owners for 4 of the 8 teams in the AL? Every single team in the NL had an active owner. Let's not even go there to compare the leagues. The NL wins in a land slide again.

I am pretty damn sure the GRT was accurate, but when you guys posted the GRT draft results, most people had the draft set pretty close to that any way.

and TB, if your team was as great as you are saying it was, then why would you have brought in the team you have now. by the sounds of it, you think your team would be kicking the sh!t out of san fran's team. as it stands your team is about average, and it was probalby much better than your p2 team. your p2 team wasn't worth a sh!t. they were all old guys.

I see what the problem is. Once our threads hit about a hundred, the replies get less and less. We just need to start a new thread everytime that happens.

Brock, Wammie, and any other sissy that wants to dog my P2 team,

Put down the crack pipe and get the penis envy out of your system. Granted, you both have better teams now, but it was you two original owners that drove your own teams into the ground. Both of you owned them for over 10 years and you had one championship to show for it. I did bring this team because it had more youth, but mostly it was because of all the crap from "the trade" when I decided to just bring one team. I almost brought no teams. I had hit a real GSB low at the time.

With the weak ownership that we merged with, it has been easy for the rest of you to build your teams up. There are a few guys we merged with who know what they are doing, but for the most part they are fodder. You two know all about being fodder for the rest of the league.

I dont wanna start a war but i think with all this P2 talk, has a p2 team ever won a championship? The Answer is NOPE!!!!! They talk the talk but cant walk the walk.

It is true that some P2'ers had success, but no P2'er ever won the big game. They talk too much trash and get distracted from the game and ultimately CHOKE!!! We got Expos a League W team, Arizona(myself) a league Z team, and Royals a League W2 team, who won th World series amongst the Elite owners of GSB.

P2 teams have a lot of talent, but how can you say that most of the owners here dont know what they are doing? The P2 nostaliga has to go, this is league E not P2. I am not against p2'ers but they just talk too much trash, it makes me laugh.

I love kicking old P2 teams asses. Example i beat the whitesox in season 2 world series and the mets, in the playoffs, both former p2 teams.

Yeah, I had 1 championship in 10 years and you had 2. You were dealt a great team and I was dealt a decent but old team. I made my team into a contender and so did you. I had better seasons than you and you had better ones than me. All in all it was pretty much equal until we came here. I kept my original team, they were on the verge of stardom and then it happened. My draft picks matured and instantly I am at the top. We all know why you had to bring the team that you did. I really don't think either team was that good(your Royals or Orioles team). Just look at your team now. You have 3 decent hitters, a couple of ok power guys and a couple of average hitters. Don't ever bring up overachieving. Your lineup is simialr to Worms. Don't respond to this until you check it out. You'll see that I was pretty close. Your starting pitching is very good and your bullpen is pretty good. Overall you have very good pitching but average hitting at best. I barely looked through your farm system but I saw little that impressed me. You always talk big but considering everything, that's all it is, talk.

Why do you always have to bring up the homo stuff? Is that all you think about while you sit at your little cubicle all day?

You're comparing apples and oranges AXP. Chiz, the Season 1 champ, was from P2. PP and Timing have both been to the Series. That's 3 of the 6 WS teams. They might not have all brought their P2 teams but that's because we weren't as fortunate as all the other leagues to have a lot of talent. 90% of the owners in here couldn't have survived in P2. I may not like TB or Timing but they are damn good owners as are Wammie, PP, and J. We are the cream of the crop when it comes to GSB owners. If only everybody had equal teams to start out with, this would be so much easier to show you. I have never seen so many stupid trades and most of them are P2 guys ripping off somebody else. AXP, SanFran, MattG, Kyle's alter ego, and others have been ripped off so bad in trades it's almost embarrassing. Things like that is what defines an owner. Sure SanFran has won every year but who couldn't with his team. Same goes for you AXP for the first 2 years. That dumb trade you made in Season 2 has come back to haunt you.

You had a great p2 league, I admit that, but My Z league was vey compettve, and very tough. I built my team for 10 seasons that i brought into this league, and i thought that sanfran was too tough to beat so i decided to rebuild after i won the WS in season 2. There are a lot of very good owners, but you do not have the luxury to be in the same division with SF and SD who always finish in the top 0 in jpi every year and i decided to rebuild after i won the WS.

I am a very good owner, look at my farm it is by far one of the best in the league. I had an excellent season 1, season 2 i won the WS, season 3 and 4 i am rebuilding. I will be back in season 5 and 6. I know for a fact that i would have been competitive i p2.

listen you have the right to your own opinion. i have my game plan you have yours, the bottom line is to be a top manager in this league you gotta win and mak smart deals.

I admit to making a bad trade or 2 in season 2, but i still won the world series. Luck, and player talent helped.

When i came into this league i had on of the top 3 teams, but my farm sucked. Now my team is average but my farm is stacked. I traded my studs to get solid farm players- future studs. Brock, i wish i had a list of my team and players i traded and the players i got i return. I could trade some guys and get stud players now.

I am going to quit trying to talk smack about your team and my team in P2. You honestly believe I was "given" a better team then you when the reality is, none of us knew what we were doing and you just managed to screw yours up more initially then I did. Plus you didn't draft worth a crap until about the 4th season.

AXP, you brought a loaded team from a weak league and now you are crap. Congrats on your one World Series but you won't win another. You were almost broke and should be drafting high until you decide to quit the league. You had a decent team who fluked into the series that year as a wild card.

back to these wanna be p2ers who are just jealous, deal with it. you are not nearly as good owners as we are. and you are not as fun. I have to say, the one other owner who would fit in with the p2 crowd is san fran.

Besse was under your control the first 2 years SanFran. Last year was his best year, by far better than Cotton will ever have. He was the top 3B in the league. he was an All-Star and MVP candidate. I got Besse and Redman from you for basically Cotton. You have nothing to show for Byrnes and Stone. Connor has been a 2 time All-Star for me. I gave up practically nothing for him. I'm sorry that I ripped you off. Connor won't re-sign and that's the only reason that I would ever trade him. The facts have been established why you have won during the regular season but are aren't a very good GM SanFran.

TB - I was messing with you. Don't get bent out of shape because of it. You're ok. You just takes things a little too seriously sometimes.

ok,

#1 i did not bring in a loaded team from a weak league, i brought in a loaded team from a highly compettive league, just as competitve as p2. Plus how wouldy ou know if my league was weak

#2 When i want a player i usually get him, if you guys think i get ripped off so be it. i will be in the playoffs by season 5 and i am not going to quit :)
#3 This is a great league with tons of great teams.
#4 Brock it is so easy to rip off on other teams but if you have to do that to make yourself feel good you got issues you gotta deal with. Brock you take this game too seriously.

i am here to have fun and try new things and if i can beat up P2 teams that is an added bonus. And amongst all the elite teams in this league, at least i could say i was the BEST team in season 2. And i will be the best again in the future.

Brock why dot you go back and sit on your thumb and make up more excuses why you think you are the best. Make sure you dont choke though like you did in the playoffs last year.

Its on for anyone that wants to talk!!!!!

This is what I am talking about!!! Ahhhhh, league activity.

San Fran, I agree with what Wammie said. I also think you have controlled the tempo of our league. You have set the pace for trades and player values. You have had the best team since day one and nobody will be surprised when you eventually win a championship.

AXP, a bird in hand is worth three in the bush. Having a great farm system is just that, a pretty looking farm system. Getting them to develop and perform is a whole different story. I like telling you it was a weak league because you get bent out of shape and I find it amusing. You have this inferiority complex and feel slighted when we bs about the "old days" of P2.

It is League E and we talk trash. Other then Brock, the rest of us usually back it up.

Hehehe

I am the undisputed master of backing my trash talk.

AXP - How is it that I take this game too seriously? Did you read one of my earlier posts where I wrote that and decided to copy it because you couldn't come up with anything else? I don't make exuses about my team being the best. I've never once said that I have the best team in League E. I said I have one of the better teams or maybe even one of the best teams. I may have said I have the best hitting team in the league. I won't deny that but just don't post lies. That's unethical and I can't stand people like that.

Did you mean rip-off or rip on other teams? I feel great when I rip someone off. Who doesn't? If I rip on a team it's because they deserved it. It's all that simple.

tb, you got a point, i am not taking anything away from p2'ers you guys are naturally cocky, most of you can back up what you smack talk. But what i get a kick from is that no P2'er ever won a world series and that is something i have that 27 other teams do not a world series title.

also i understand the fact that p2 was the "Superior league" But no one can take away the competitiveness of league Z. Only myself and Jay-P were in league Z and we know how it was. And just wait till my farm guys mature.

ANd Brock, dont be a playa hater. It is not my fault you are the red sox and the curse of the bambino prevents you from EVER winning a world series. Hell maybe one day you will get the privledge of playing me and getting me beating you like a red headed step child!!! Playa haters never win, they are to worried about what others do, and lose track of their own goals.

axp, i wouldn't call you the best team in the league in season 2, i would call you the luckiest. why? because by the grace of the commish, sachin won the central, which kept me from being in the playoffs, and then the playoffs were void and that season didn't count.

i know for a fact that me not winning the central and sachin actually winning it was because the commish was messing around, and was pissed about some posts i made about him. so to me, season 2 didn't even really count.

Sackchin, your team sucks, always has, always will. and the fact that your team won the NL Central in season two had to be due to the commish doing something, because your team wasn't even close to as good as mine. two times i tied you for first place, and went onto 8 game losing streaks. I would not be suprised if the commish screwed me over.

Actually axp, you are both right and wrong in regards to League Z being highly competitive. It WAS a highly competitive league, with numerous trades going down, close races for the pennant, and no overly dominant "stacked" team.

However, when the announcement of GSB become a pay league, the league really suffered for that month, and many of the trades made were selling young players for veterans for one last shot at the pennant.

Hence, that's how you landed Mike Bell and the other starters from your staff when you came into this league. Although the trades weren't blatantly one-sided, you basically gave up a couple 33-year old veterans for Mike Bell, Swift, etc.

So, in short, you are right and wrong about the competiveness of league Z.

But you didn't bring that team and whatever "quality" you think you gave up was insignificant. I was in a league the same as Z and I raped free agency when interest died off. I know exactly how he was able to land much of his talent. It is the same with most teams that didn't come from a merging league.

Being competitive year in and year out is a true sign of managerial quality. Unloading talent to regroup shows a lack of foresight and true competitiveness. Screw "rebuilding", go for it every year.

It's official. I'm cutting all of my relievers. They blew 5 games this week and gave up a ton of runs in another game leaving me with absolutely no chance of coming back. It's a good thing that a couple of them are free agents and I'll be forced to get different ones. I'm pissed in case you guys didn't know.

Hey BPG, thanks for the draft report. I know it's a lot of work. I'll have it up later tonight. And the people who've emailed me records I'll have all of that updated later tonight too. Oh and I'll put up the no-hitter info also, I believe it's the first one we've had in here.

I appreciate you rating the draft, as well. Maybe next season, once the draft is done, we can share our data and rate the top 5 players, or so, at each position and where they ended up. I typically save my copy of the draft and sometimes go back and mark what teams took the top players anyways.

Me too TB. I still have drafts saved back from P2 season 3! (actually I think I lost season's 4 & 5) but I've got everything else!

If names didn't change, I'd go back and check on players. I'm looking forward to season 6, when we can check out the 1st draft and how everyone actually did.

and, of course - BPG - thanks for doing what ya do!

I had most saved on excel files. Plenty others printed out. Right before I moved I threw out a ton of printed rosters and draft sheets.

Everyone on my MLB roster is up for trade. Check them ut and see if you need anything. A few of my RP's are really starters, like Libke and Heaverlo, so keep that in mind. I'm looking for prospects and cash.

The two team weren't playing each other, but on August 4, 1982 Joel Youngblood was trdead from the Mets to the Expos and played with both teams in the same day. Youngblood became the third player to play for two teams in a day. He is the only player to get hits for two teams in a day and to play in two different cities in the same day. Incidentally, both hits were against future Hall of Fame pitchers Fergie Jenkins and Steve Carlton.
