lol, Millar should be released...

[Lightning Flik 0]

Six trade offers made.

[Styles 0]

OK, this might sound silly, but can anyone offer me a spare outfielder for Russel Branyan? With Kenny Lofton going on the DL, I'm in pretty big need of a backup outfielder, unfortunately the pool is really empty so I picked up Branyan who's putting up good stats, but he's a 3B and I already have 2 3B. So, would anyone like a to trade a backup 3rd baseman for a backup outfielder? Nothing fancy, just make me an offer. Please.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Slapnuts, I've got 3 3Bers myself, although, I do have more OFs than I need.

 

...however...

 

Add in a swap of my 6th rounder for your 3rd rounder, and I'll gladly give up one of the following for Brayan:

Matos

Hawpes

White

Cameron (comes back next week)

 

Get back to me on this, as I've got 6 trade offers currently pending and can't just add this one (I'm at the max)

Wow, I can't decide between Matos or Cameron. One has the lowest expectations and could surpass them while the other is surpassing expectations and will likely fall off...Hmm...Could you swing me both for Branyan and Bigbie (plus the 3rd for 6th round swap), since you are blowing it up anyway?

EDIT: Tried offering this, but it said Max trades allowed.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Trade sent:

Matos, Cameron, 6th Rounder (mine)

 

For

Brayan and 3rd Rounder

[Styles 0]

Wow, no Bigbie? You're either really generous or just desperate to rebuild (I can guess which). Ok, so how does the round pick trade work? Does Harley just keep track of it or something because there's no way I'll remember next year...

[Lightning Flik 0]

It'll be on in the first post when I get around to making it a done deal. Besides, my current OFs will be able to handle the load I just lost.

 

Oh and btw, y I don't think Cameron would've been in my lineup and Matos wasn't really doing anything on my team except take up bench space. As well getting that pick helps ease the mistake of "Bonds Fuck Up Trade", in which I gave Wart my 2nd and 3rd rounder to him.

[Styles 0]

Yeah that Bonds trade was a real "hindsight is 20/20" type thing.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Yeah, but at least Marquis turned out not as bad a pick up as I thought he'd be.

 

On The Block:

Podsednik - OF

A. Boone - 3B

Cantu - 2B/3B

Hawpe - OF

Lee - SP

Santos - SP

 

Looking For:

Capable Shortstop and/or OF

Damn Flik you are trading your draft picks as if you were Isiah Thomas or Danny Ainge....

 

Anybody want Millar, Monroe, Holliday? I would prefer a infielder.

[razazteca 0]

Come on Wacky Wart trade me Lee.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I just picked up Endy Chavez..+1 for my SBs! HAHA..

 

Im going to put Carl Everett on my trading block. Now that Alou is back and Im confident that hes back healthy enough to put in my weekly lineup, it leaves me without a spot for Everett.

Damn, Valetine just got placed on the DL.....poor Crimsom Cardinal.

 

May 5 Dodgers third baseman Jose Valentine was placed on the disabled list Wednesday and will miss at least two months of action because of three torn ligaments in his right knee, reports the Associated Press. He suffered the injury during Tuesday's win over the Nationals when he collided with catcher Brain Schneider. The team purchased the contract of utility man Mike Edwards from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Valentine on the active roster.

Um... I just picked up a 3rd rounder for my 6th.

 

I say that was an improvement over having no second or third rounders.

Fuck, I knew it was bound to happen. Fuck.

Capable Shortstop and/or 1B that should've been.

[iggymcfly 0]

Roger Clemens still only has one win for me, despite his 1.29 ERA.

 

Today's line in the no decision: 7 IP 4 H 2 R 2 ER 8 K

 

And to make matters worse, it was against the friggin' Pirates. I mean, I thought if the Astros could ever get a win for him they'd do it against the Pirates, but I guess not.

 

One more interesting note on Clemens' lack of run support: His only win this year was the season opener when the Astros won 3-2, and Clemens drove in 2 of the runs himself. When you're your own best hope to drive in runs as a pitcher, you know you're in bad shape.

[Guest Wart]

Come on Wacky Wart trade me Lee.

I don't think so

 

Bonds missing another 2 months makes up for Wood missing a month. Thanks, Flik.

 

And don't get me started on the lack of run support in Houston...

[Lightning Flik 0]

Meh... No problem, Wart.

 

Thanks for Finley btw, Posse. Hopefully Santos helps you out.

 

Now then, back to making another trade.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Yeah, I'm double posting so sue me.

 

Six offers made yet again (I'm at max so if you want to counter a trade, you need to cancel then make offer).

[Lightning Flik 0]

Wee. Triple post! Yes Al, I'm spamming. I apologize ahead of time. This is the final time, I swear.

 

Just like to thank Cartman for giving me Delgado and Crisp for Hawpe and Tracy.

ABUSE OF POWERZ~

[Lightning Flik 0]

Abuse of what power?

 

Edit:

You bitch, you made me post again when I said I wasn't going to!

I wanted Delgado ...........you are the one who sets the rulz for the league.

[Cartman 0]

huh? I rejected that boy. That was a pathetic offer.

 

 

Edit: Thats total bullshit Fliky boy. I rejected that trade and typed "LOL, thats just funy. I dont have ANY interest in anyone on your team and I sure as heck ain;t trading away delgado."

[Lightning Flik 0]

uh... I set no rules this season. Everything I set basically got changed by HQ. Or did you forget that I just hold the keys to the toys?

 

Oh and just blame Cartman, btw, I sent him like 5 offers for Delgado and whoever the other one he had is.

 

And well, my team should be semi-competitive now at least with this lineup:

C-) G. Zaun

1B) C. Delgado

2B) B. Boone

3B) V. Castilla

SS) J. Uribe

OF) J. Edmonds

OF) R. White

OF) S. Finley

UT) S. Posednik

 

SP) J. Marquis

SP) C. Carpener

SP) A. Pettitte

SP) M. Mulder

SP) J. Towers

RP) D. Kolb

RP) J. Lugo

 

BN) R. Brayan - 3B

BN) C. Crisp - OF

BN) C. Lee - SP

BN) J. Rincon - RP (stupid suspension)

 

DL) J. Valentin - SS

DL) B. Bonds - OF

[Cartman 0]

I quit this league if that trade is kept. I definitely rejected it and typed about it in the comments section.

 

WHY on earth would anyone accept that?

 

Crimson Cardinals Pawtucket Red Sox

B. Hawpe

C. Tracy

C. Delgado

C. Crisp

 

 

 

 

Comments from Pawtucket Red Sox:

LOL, see thats funny. I dont have any interest in anyone on your team right now and I sure as heck ain't getting rid of Delgado.

[razazteca 0]

Oh da dramah~

[HarleyQuinn 0]

Flik, cancel the trade *bash* Is it that hard fellas? lol...seriously

 

If ya need to reject the trade, do so. If you want to give reasons/comment for doing so...either IM or PM (on this board or elsewhere) why you rejected it. Just focus on rejecting the deal first. Both situations involved people making comments first and then fucking up. Simple solution: Reject, then give the comments in a face to face (IM) or PM manner.

[Lightning Flik 0]

I'm fixing it.

 

However, HQ, I'd like to point out that you put on page 26 that you would revoke any chances at fixing these problems should they arise, and I also put up a new commish note about it in Yahoo stating this. I was even going to state that Cartman would just have to deal with it. Hell, I was giggling for joy that finally I was screwing someone else over instead of being screwed over for once.

 

...but since you are the Commish, I'll put it back

 

This is the second time I'm on the receiving end of having one of these problems. I'm not happy about this, not by a long shot.

 

And if treble comes in and goes "wait, I didn't want my trade too", I'm out of the league after this. I'm that pissed right now.
