So that leaves Rob, Brent, and Scott who are holding me up.  Fellas, I do
not need protection from you three

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",

Hey - I'm not commisioner.  But I don't feel like being bullied by the 3 of you idiots over some fantasy beefs that date back a couple years.

If you 3 are going to gang up on me, I'm going to gang up on you too.  If I'm not allowed to make trades, then you won't be making any either, I'll personally preside over the veto.

You seriously didn't think I was just going to take that from you 3 clowns, I hope you were smart enough to at least realize that.

Looks like while I was typing you went ahead and confirmed my suspicion.

There's no collusion here Dressel, there's no conspiracy and it has nothing to do with some imaginary past grudge.  I'm hoping my team will unseat you as champ fair and square - and I'm in second place, I've got every right to vote against a trade that I think will give your team substantially better players than you'll be giving up.  And if you didn't want a 1/3rd veto included in trade scenarios, before the season would be the time to do it.

Offer Kevin a legtimately fair trade that doesn't involve you getting potential top-notch players in exchange for a catcher with a good BA and I won't vote against it.

That pretty much sums up my feelings as well and explains why I voted against the trade.  You're I can't help it if Brent and Scott and or anyone else agreed.  You two have a history of agreeing to trades that consistently benefit you more than Kevin and so I voted against it because I didn't feel like it was an even deal.

Are you suggesting that Brent and Scott and I are somehow meeting in a secret smoke-filled room and conspiring to stop your trades out of spite?  

Fact is, my vote depended on the players to be moved - and nothing else.  If you want to threaten to form little alliances to block trades - I'm fine with that.  I'm happy with the team I drafted - but this league is a little over a week old and there shouldn't be any problems at this point.
