No no no, definitely wasn't talking about you.

Mike · March 30th, 2003, 12:20 AM

no the only reason that I thought that was do to trying to get Bonds from him and he was offering me trades that were so unfair

Crash_44 · March 30th, 2003, 12:27 AM

Yeah, he told me about one. Seemed like you were really getting screwed. He said you were going to do it and I couldn't believe it. He was trying to tell me Bonds was better than A-Rod and stuff like that. So, on one hand, you could consider him an idiot, but on the other, you can just chalk it up to him not following baseball in about a decade.

Mike · March 30th, 2003, 12:34 AM

no man i didn't mean to put him down like that, Except for Bonds in his trade all of his other players were in the top 200 and all the one's from my team were in the top 30

Crash_44 · March 30th, 2003, 12:45 AM

Yeah, I saw the offer, I think. Unless you were that big of a fan of Bonds, you'd have had no business doing that deal. I don't take offense to people thinking he's an idiot, because I've thought it myself, I just have to remind myself that he stopped following baseball after the strike until now, so he doesn't know as much as most others do and he tends to overvalue players once they get on his team. Anything you go through negotiating with him, I've been there too and I feel for you. Good luck getting Bonds.

Mike · March 30th, 2003, 12:48 AM

there is no luck needed because I give up. I thought that he would go for a one to one trade with A rod

Crash_44 · March 30th, 2003, 12:52 AM

He didn't??? He is an idiot!!! If you can get Matsui to throw into it somehow, I guarantee you'll get a deal along with him throwing a player into it.

Mike · March 30th, 2003, 01:03 AM

oh well such is life, I do not need him on my team that bad anyway

houston · March 30th, 2003, 02:15 AM

umm hello I haven't been on all damn day.

And for the record, just because my dad would rather have a team of players that he likes rather than the best team possible, it does not make him an idiot. It's a game, it's supposed to be for fun, and more importantly, it's his team, so he can do what he wants with it. I know he doesn't have a great team because hasn't exactly been making moves to make it better, but what's your excuse focal???

funny ha ha NOT... so I don't contribute huh? step out your bedroom yell down the hallway to your pops and say "daddy I contribute to the rant, but poor little focal doesn't, please tell the owners to take away his posting ability, please daddy"

my excuse for what? I have 5 five other teams I am dealing with. I don't need to make moves at this point child.

Crash_44 · March 30th, 2003, 09:23 AM

Then tell me, what exactly do you contribute??? Every once in a blue moon you'll post something intelligent, but more times than not, it's "testing" or "..." or just something to get under people's skin.

And it's funny how you've already contradicted yourself. "I don't need to make moves at this point." Oh, look here, Rantmaster just added Kenny Rogers & Kenny Lofton...I guess you could call those moves. I think you mean, "I have a crappy team in G-Man's league, so I'm basically giving up unless the league championship should land in my lap."

Finally, I was wondering, are your other 4 teams all in the same league? I mean, you seem to have a knack for having multiple versions of yourself at the same place at the same time, focal, houston, rantmaster, evil twin.....

Crash_44 · March 30th, 2003, 09:28 AM

Now if you'll excuse me, daddy just made pancakes for me. MMMMMM, my favorite, thanks daddy! LMFAO!!!

houston · March 30th, 2003, 03:50 PM

moves as in TRADES bonehead. one league I have 2 teams as you have seen.

2 other leagues I have only 1 team each league.

8 man league with total point setup - a true 4x4 league
15 man league with total point setup - got a whole bunch of settings to go by.

I wouldn't say my team is crappy in G-man's league, see far worse in that league. I have a better offense then picthing but will see what happens.

I wish I had one season under my belt in the yahoo league with the same settings cause I was going to try something with the pitchers in that some of the categories would be cake to win every week with only certain pitchers.
