Lightning Flik Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) Thank God... I'm happy to hear that, cause I was getting this funny feeling in the pit of my stomach that I was going to be out again. And HarleyQuinn, I'd like an explanation. Are you going to commit to the "fucked if you botch" or not. Just for clarification; not that you are just lucky I can't get online at home and onto my AIM and demand why the hell I bothered writing up that thing in Yahoo if it wasn't serious.

Styles Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Perhaps, we should change all trades to "Commisioner approved". That way after a trade is made, the Commisioner can confirm with both parties if they really wanted the trade. If it was a fuckup the Commisioner cancels it. Now, if the Commish is one of the parties, that's tough but he'll have to seperate himself from the situation and perform his commisionerly duties in cancelling the trade. On the other hand I really don't see why people keep screwing up like this. What is so damn hard about stopping for a second, confirming you've found the REJECT TRADE button and then clicking it. I've never had a problem with it before. (just for this karma will get me and I'll accidently accept some trade like Tejada for B. Williams)...
Lightning Flik Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Posted May 5, 2005 We can only have it as "League Votes" can't switch it to Commish only. On that note, two of the times were when we had it as League Votes so its not mattering either way. BTW, this is now 4 in 4 weeks.
Cuban Linx Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Anyone interested in last years almost-MVP Adrian Beltre? Ideally i'd want to trade him for pitching help, but with my team sitting dead last i'll consider anything that might help me.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Its pretty damn amazing my team is winning 7-2 and my pitching staff pretty much blew up the whole week and no offense. Id be losing 10-0 under normal circumstances ..
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Lance Berkman returns to the lineup next week, ensuring my continued dominance in this league.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Also, I am looking to trade Jerry Hairston and Joe Blanton, possibly in a package (actually, preferably). I am looking for a first baseman in return, but will consider all offers.

HarleyQuinn Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Screw the fuck up idea, one owner's gonna get pissed off no matter which option I choose. If a trade is made, just shoot an IM/PM saying agreed or confirmed so I won't have to question every single trade that passes. The goal is to improve the league overall, not to piss off owners this way or that way. If an owner sees a trade of his overturned, simply resume haggling with the other owner. As for myself: If I fuck up on a trade, I'll be man enough to accept the consequences. That's a personal thing though. Note: It does piss me off to see so many people saying that X trade should be canceled cause they fucked up. It's wearing very, very thin on me.
treble Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 I really can't believe a team with Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, JD Drew, Vernon Wells, and Eric Chavez hasn't hit one home run this week. I think that Craig Counsell is my team's #1 ranked hitter should say a lot.
Lightning Flik Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Posted May 6, 2005 Note: It does piss me off to see so many people saying that X trade should be canceled cause they fucked up. It's wearing very, very thin on me. Ahem, Page 26: This is the third time I think that it's happened? If ya fuck up after this....tough...shit. It's not that hard to take even one bloody minute to look at the screen, move the mouse (unless ya have the one click touch pad then I'd advise that you be really careful), and make sure you're over the right button first. Wankers. ^Raza and Posse's trade that didn't really happen. Now that I've cooled off, I'm just wondering why you bothered posting that, and why you told me via AIM to make an announcement about it in the league forums as a Commish Note. Looking for a 1B, please send offers of encouraging promise and not "HEY! I want to ass rape you". Thanks.
Lightning Flik Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Posted May 6, 2005 Urk... I'll need to think about it, as I need to rush to school.
treble Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I really can't believe a team with Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, JD Drew, Vernon Wells, and Eric Chavez hasn't hit one home run this week. Well, it took almost the whole week, but I finally got one out of Drew. Look out!
Cuban Linx Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 4/5 of my starting pitching performs well, which would usually put me in good position to win a few categories. Unfortunately that 5th pitcher is Pedro Astacio, who puts up a fucking 94.50 ERA and 10.50 WHIP and delivers a shotgun blast to the head of any chance i had in this matchup. Both numbers would have to be close to the highest non-infinite numbers i've seen. I'm barely holding onto a 2-8 scoreline and look to be entrenching myself in last place, after coming close to winning this league last year i feel like the New York Yankees here.
Brett Favre Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Cuban, i've made a counter-offer. If you don't like it, counter offer again. I'm still interested.
Vern Gagne Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 My team is built for the future(if their is one)so i'm not interested in moving any of my players.
razazteca Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Damn, me trading away Vinny Castillo and Kolb really killed my team......and Holliday is doing nothing for me.
Lightning Flik Posted May 7, 2005 Author Report Posted May 7, 2005 Funny thing is who has Kolb? Me. And Raza, while I liked the offer, I'll be keeping Edmonds. I'd try making something else happen for Young, but I'm under the impression (by like every other trade I tried making) that no one is interested in making any sort of deal at all with me other than get Edmonds.
Styles Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Jesus, my team is getting KILLED this week. Harly up 8-1 with one more day to go...
razazteca Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I need RBIs in the worst way...I don't care what position I need another power hitter! My only hope is for Smoltz to go back to the closer spot next week and for Lamb to stay in the starting line up.
Lightning Flik Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Posted May 8, 2005 I'd like to thank Komijul for getting me a good 1Ber. I'll treasure Justin Morneau while he's apart of my team.
Brett Favre Posted May 8, 2005 Report Posted May 8, 2005 AJ Burnett is available for some offense. Good, dependable offense. Not some scrubs.
Lightning Flik Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Posted May 8, 2005 Will said he needed pitching via Yahoo Internet Messanger. I offered him Towers for Morneau, he haggled in Towers and Brayan for Jennings and Morneau and I was like "ok". He offered the trade in Yahoo, then I accepted. All there was to it.
razazteca Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Hm, why wasn't this trade reversed? It had to be a mistake, right!?!?!
Der Kommissar Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 It wasn't so much a mistake as it was a really bad decision on my part. Ah well. If what's his name actually keeps up with how he's doing this season, it could pay off for me. My offense is still potent enough without Morneau(At least, so far).
Lightning Flik Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Posted May 9, 2005 Hm, why wasn't this trade reversed? It had to be a mistake, right!?!?! Raza, even if Will went about to change it there's two reasons he can't: 1) He sent the trade to me, so I don't think it'd be ok for him to go back if he sends it, ya know? 2) HarleyQuinn whom I talked to about this trade has stated that he'd tell anyone who wanted it overturned "tough shit". So, deal with it. Although, I know I made off like a thief who stole the crown jewels when even Al's considering protesting the trade! Heheheheheheh... It wasn't so much a mistake as it was a really bad decision on my part. Ah well. If what's his name actually keeps up with how he's doing this season, it could pay off for me. My offense is still potent enough without Morneau(At least, so far). Well, thanks to your mistake, you made my "bad" trade for Brayan and a 3rd look like gold now, so I'm quite happy about that. Seven good trades since that Bonds one, I'm on a role! As I said to you though Will, I do think Towers will still be a worthy pick up for you from me. However, I got him off of FA to replace Santos for this coming week. ...meaning I got Morneau for giving away nothing. BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!
