To those who rejected my trade -

I offered Matt a deal for a closer and we went back and forth a bunch of
times and settled on the deal that we accepted twice, and had rejected
twice.  After that happened we talked to Juan who said it was fine with him,
and Chris who actually thought that Matt was probably going to get burned on
1 or both of those players and he was fine with the deal, and obviously Matt
and myself are fine with it.

So that leaves Rob, Brent, and Scott who are holding me up.  Fellas, I do
not need protection from you three, I WON the football league last year and
I'm 3rd out of 12 in basketball.  I know what I am doing.  I read fantasy
magazines whenever I can.  You guys make fun of the fact that I traded for
Helton from Matt last year and look what he did in the second half of the
season; when he came back from the leg injury in August: .376 BA, 9 HR and 36
RBI in 40 games.

Let me explain something to you guys.  I am in last place in saves and I
have virtually no chances of making that up.  I took Foulke thinking he
was my rock and now he's not even a closer anymore and Rob already took his
replacement.  I have an excess of starting pitching I have freaking last
year's Cy Young award winner Colon, I have Peavy, I have Schilling, Mussina,
Clemens who may come back, and Sheets.  So I have a starter to deal.  Matt
loves Sheets, and wants to bet on the fact that he's not going to be hurt
again like he is at some point every year.  I think Duke can be almost as
good as Sheets and Sheets gets hurt every year.  I didn't even draft him
intentionally, I wasn't there for that part.

Last year Zach Duke was my best pitcher in the 2nd half, he won 8 games in
under 3 months and had an ERA at 1.81 with K's.  And that's just his rookie
year.  I like him, he was on my team last year, and I want him again.

Jose Valverde is the 'Backs closer, he's 26 years old and he didn't become
the closer until August of last year and he still saved 15 games and struck
out SEVENTY FIVE in 66 innings.  His ERA was 2.44 and WHIP 1.07.  This isn't
a worthy closer for my team?!  He's a 4 category stud in the position that I
need.  What's Jose Valverde doing this year as closer so far?  3 IP, 2 for 2
in saves chances, and K'd 4 in 3 IP.  I want him.  And I need him.

I picked up Gagne when Matt dropped him last week but I can't even use him
for at least 2 freaking months.  Matt's willing to take him back with Sheets
and has a closer to spare.

And I like Ivan Rodriguez, got a problem with that?  I'm dropping Johjima
when my trade goes through.  But I don't even care if Matt throws him into
the deal or not, he can keep him if he wants.  If you guys would knock it
off already.

So would you guys please butt out of my business so I can get something I
need and get rid of players I don't even want or can't use?  I always extend
you guys the same courtesy and I really don't think what you're doing is
fair at all.

Kevin?  Did you type this in Word or copy it from an email or anything like that before you posted it here?  The formatting of the text (i.e. how the lines don't go all the way to the end of the window) makes it pretty obvious that you didn't type it up in the Post Reply window.

Just... curious.

The only team I'm trying to protect, is mine.

I love it... here's the 'scoop' on Robert Esche:

Apr 14 Esche will start on Saturday, while Antero Niittymaki will be in net on Sunday in New Jersey, according to the Flyers' Official Site.
Recommendation: Adjust your lineups accordingly.


So what happens?  Niittymaki gets the win 4-1 and I lose a chance to plug a different goalie in.   >:(

Please troll, you're not even worth this 15 seconds of my precious time, otherwise this post would be so long it'd have chapter divisions and a table of contents, just to properly debunk all of your asinine contentions.  If you were any more of a mental midget I'd have to donate half of my brain to science before I even reply to your post, just to make this a fair fight.  Do yourself a favor and sit this one out.

Guess my post, aka the truth, does hurt huh Matt?

Let.  It.  Go.

Batting-wise, my team only managed:

5 hits
2 runs
1 SB
1 RB

Definitely my guys' worst night of the season so far.

Exxon is giving Lee Raymond one of the most generous retirement packages in history, nearly $400 million, including pension, stock options and other perks, such as a $1 million consulting deal, two years of home security, personal security, a car and driver, and use of a corporate jet for professional purposes.

Last November, when he was still chairman of Exxon, Raymond told Congress that gas prices were high because of global supply and demand.

"We're all in this together, everywhere in the world," he testified.

Raymond, however, was confronted with caustic complaints about his compensation.

"In 2004, Mr. Raymond, your bonus was over $3.6 million," Sen. Barbara Boxer said.

That was before new corporate documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that revealed Raymond's retirement deal and his $51.1 million paycheck in 2005. That's equivalent to $141,000 a day, nearly $6,000 an hour. It's almost more than five times what the CEO of Chevron made.

"I think it will spark a lot of outrage," said Sarah Anderson, a fellow in the global economy program at the Institute for Policy Studies, an independent think tank. "Clearly much of his high-level pay is due to the high price of gas."

I'm under the impression that this little flare up ended over a day ago.  Recent arrivals to the conversation notwithstanding...

Yeah, Brent's a little over on games, but he's getting to the point where his lead means it might not matter.

Makes for a sweeter 3-peat.

Makes for a sweeter un-seat?

I don't think there was any doubt that he was crazy - but to some people that makes it all the more moving.  I'll know what it does for me personally by the end ot the week.

Argh - forgot (for the first time in 3 weeks) to make sure I had available goalies plugged in - threw away a W from Fluery.  With things as tight as they are that could end up being a costly mistake.   >:(

Bruce Willis is a ghost

I've seen all three Die Hard movies and Bandits and didn't catch any moment where Bruce Willis became a ghost.   ???

Or did you just ruin 16 Blocks for me.   >:(

Only thing he'd be known for in the states is "The Wrath of God",

So?
