  • uh, i'm cool with 14 as well, but thus far our vetting process is...nonexistent. if we're going to add two more people let's make sure that they're down to manage their teams and stay involved for the

    it's now a double secret protest. i already sent in paperwork to the commissioner, so you probably haven't seen it.

  • Here's mine.  

Well Gallo going out sure sucked. Thank God Nellie's roids started kicking in this week. 

Also..... is 12 earned runs given up in 3 innings bad? Should they maybe have pulled him? I dunno. I'm not a Yankee caliber manager. 

HG and I have a trade that goes through at 2:05 pm CST today. First game of the day starts at 2:07 pm. i got a feeling this ain't gonna work out too good.

i thought it was just the division winners make the playoffs as the 1 and 2 seed and spots 3-6 were the next best teams regardless of division?

This. Division winners get byes. 3-6 is next top 4 records, regardless of division.

So the app has decided that Nellie DIDN'T have a 3 hr game this week

Seriously though they have wiped Nellie's stats from 7/25.... when he hit 3 home runs. WTF is this shit?

i made a call.  i know people.

There have been more shitty, awful, one sided trades this year than in all other seasons of this league combined, and of course i speak from experience having given up two or three of them myself. looking back at some of the big trades this year will make you cringe. unless you're hg and you're receiving half of them. but for the rest of us...oof.

while potentially true on an anecdotal level, i have traded away plenty of talent:

-meadows was crushing it for a month after i traded him, and i dropped the player i got in return

-devers hasn't really slowed down since early may

-altuve has actually rebounded in a pretty ridiculous way (i didn't think he would)

-soroka and paddack are rookies, but have been steady

-several closers i traded have continued to be great (yates and shane greene are top 10 closers, yates is #1 on pr for rp)

-soler is having a career year

-brandon lowe was having a great season but got injured

 

maybe i'm just accumulating talent and leveraging it to help my team...

sure, you've given up some talent, but with these juiced balls and record breaking k rates there's more talent out there than i've ever seen. but let me ask you this: did you ever trade away Charlie Blackmon and Max Kepler for Victor Robles and Caleb Smith who both immediately got hurt? did ya? Did you drunkenly trade Josh Hader, Pat Corbin, Lo Cain and DiDi Gregorious for Marcel Ozuna (who would go in to fracture all his fingers two weeks later? Well, did ya?

oh yeah, fucking nailed that one. 

So you know how you can block/unfriend/mute people on social media - can the commissioner do that for my team for Chris Archer?

HG just put me out of my misery last week.

3 weeks left in the season. Playoff standings if the season ended today:

Division Winners and Wildcard Byes

1. Killer B's

2. Jack Parkman

 

Wildcard One Week Playoff:

3. Two Ankle Bracelets vs 6. Inverted Swingers

Final two weeks of the season. Playoff standings if the season ended today:

Division Winners and Wildcard Byes

1. Killer B's

2. Jack Parkman

Byes seem pretty locked in barring something crazy.

 

Wildcard One Week Playoff:

3. Two Ankle Bracelets vs 6. Killing Me Smalls

4. Fart Knockers vs. 5. Inverted Swingers

 

Fart Knockers have closed the gap on the 3 seed and despite a pitiful week, BigO still hangs on to the 6th and final spot. 

not sure my POS team can hang on for two more weeks.  what a bunch of fucking scrubs.

References are killing it bro. 

Best of luck to everyone trying to get to 6. 

The battle royale of the two division leaders is living up to its billing.

Pete Alonso can suck my balls.

D,

I have received your recent communication regarding a multi-person trade and have truly considered its ramifications. To review you offered the following:

Mike Trout, LAA CF
Zac Gallen, Ari SP
German Marquez, Col SP

for

Luis Castillo, Cin SP
Kyle Hendricks, ChC SP
Bryce Harper, Phi RF
Jose Berrios, Min SP

 

While having more pitchers might look appealing to some, it will not really do anything favorable for me given my current status as comparable to that of a Yemeni male prostitute with a bad case of the herp, i.e. dead last if you dont consider Steamed Hammels (sic) who was doomed by the spelling error before the season even started.   Furthermore, while Trout continues to have s superb season, even his over 300 average he could not make any difference when the rest of my team bats like a 5 year old amputee/cancer survivor. Additionally, I'v become rather fond of Bryce for some reason. Call me sentimental. 

I'm answering here because the app seems to have shit itself, kinda like my team.  I am afraid I must humbly decline. 

With hopes and prayers for a continued successful season for you and yours.  Say hello to Karen and the kids for me. 

Beer.

Hats off to the artist formerly known as UP IN SMOAK for starting Yalvarez yesterday

He continues to make me look like a genius. Good lord he is unreal. 

Someone’s team really does fucking suck. Or ran into the buzzsaw of the frozen ropes. 

Also, wish I had taken that judge for Alonso and a pitcher deal. F. 

welp, i'm out. this'll be the best team i've had in this league that didn't make the playoffs. if i had managed my team better in the early going i'd be in the playoffs with a pretty damn potent offense that's gotten really hot during the second half. instead, i managed my team like a complete and total fuck head, got myself way behind the 8 ball early on (2-21-1 in weeks 2 and 3, and no that's not a misprint), tried to make some hail mary trades to get back in it, and now my season is effectively over.

with that said, good luck to whichever of you jabronis makes the playoffs. my prediction- HG over Fawesome 6-5-1, should they end up on opposing sides of the bracket. other than that

Don’t know why you’re throwing in the towel. Only 2 games out of the last wild card spot.


always nice to lose two categories you were 2nd in the entire league in and another in which you were 3rd.

One more week of the regular season, I believe. 

Related question - can somebody please remind us of the payouts?
