Spurs Talk Fantasy Baseball 09

I doubt it...Ruff had him in league 1 and I don't think he's retiring. You don't have Chris Paul or Dwight Howard either.

Whose team do you inherit?

.

I don't know.

[alamo50]

League 1 was won in no large part due to timvp being aided by someone making the brilliant decision to cut Ramon Sessions who put up huge numbers during the playoff run......I wonder if timvp thanked them for the dough. .

My impatience came looking around the corner again on this one.
Sessions was in his coach's dog house the first week of the season (not playing one second the entire week) so I cut him after picking him up in the draft.

I realised my hasty mistake while falling asleep and hurried to the computer the following morning to claim him back on my team. Allas, LJ already took him off the waiver wire (awesome pick-up). The only move I ever did regret in 4 years in the league. The rest seems stupid and "tanking" to some, but is my master plan to dominate starting '10 - '11. What else to do when you are picking 10th in a 20 team league?


Glad to know all worked out for you taking over Guru's team, ATRAIN!

Welcome Dan.
Now you can show your GM skills.............
Good luck making something out of the non-paying quiter's team!

Oh I never doubted you had reasons for doing it.

The rest seems stupid

Amazing how that works isn't it? Seems stupid...that is exactly what transpired on the final day, with one difference, I did not leave a single SB on my bench and there was nothing I could have done differently to produce a different outcome. And my decision to do what I did was not why my team lost, and it was not why you won. And neither was waiving Josh Beckett.

And if those things had been the reason, you would have had to deduce them on your own because I would have made a lengthy post ing about my own stupid decision. It would not need to be pointed out to me.


Simple reason why I did and do not just tell you why I did those things is because I do not want you, or anyone, to know because I do not want ithat knowledge used against me in a situation where it could make more of a difference than it actually did.

I'll just say the stolen bases were not left on my bench, which would have been the only reason to thank me for my roster on the final day, and leave it at that. Regardless of whether or not you understand why I did it.

I'd also be willing to bet I put a great deal more thought into what I did on that final day than you did, especially concerning my own roster.

Hey, thanks to all who posted my e-mail address (without my permission) a couple of pages back.

I'm really, really thrilled to have had that broadcast.

Payments will be out today.

[FromWayDowntown]

Payments have been tendered per the instructions I've received from alamo and to the accounts that I have for everyone else (other than whottt -- need account info).

If you have any problems, let me know.

Sorry about that I got caught up in all the non payment finger pointing and didnt edit it out. I edited the post however I havent checked if dan did. Sorry again.

[Thunder Dan]

I changed the name, didn't change the email sorry.

Noted Payers:
Me
Whott
Mel
FWD
Alamo

Noted Non Payers:
EricB
Slayer
The Truth
Timvp
ATrain

Now let's narrow it down:
Atrain either paid or is extremely stupid because he is expecting payment for the computer's 3rd place finish. I say he paid

Slayer was active in the league all year, so there is little chance it's him

EricB was active so probably not him

TimVp was active, probably not him. Although maybe he is using his status around these parts as a strong arm to not pay...still probably not him

The Truth quit sometime around May and hasn't shown his face in this thread since. He hasn't even adjusted his lineup in 4 months as he started guys on the DL


how is there any question as to who it is?

Why does this matter to anyone other than ME? None of you got stiffed -- I did. And, thus, I have no idea why it should matter to any of you. I can figure out who didn't pay, but it's my choice to not out that person. Why is there any need to go any further than that?

[EricB]

FWD, i didn't win but i appreciate all the work you went through to get this done.

Now I see why Kori doesn't mess with this anymore with s like a train and Thunder Dan.

you what the did I do. I have talked to FWD last off season thanking him for his hard work. Dan was the one pointing fingers I just wanted to clear my name so off you stupid .

haha you people take this stuff (posting on message boards) way too seriously. Who gets upset over trying to figure out who didn't pay....after I was mentioned as one of the people who it probably was (see post #946). To vindicate myself I made that post. I'm so sure you guys are going to make a big deal about trying to find out who the non payer was....that's funny. I could give a if someone doesn't pay seeing as I'm not getting a payout. Who seriously gets upset about that? I've come to realize that about 95% of Spurstalk has something up their ass and has no sense of humor whatsoever. You guys gotta chill out a bit, it's fantasy baseball...on a message board...chill out, not a big deal. You can't even joke on this thing without people crying.

And to say you are the one getting stiffed is not true, Alamo would be the one getting stiffed as nobody would expect FWD to make up for the funds missing.

Well, FWD did make up the missing funds, so that FWD and nobody else got stiffed. And, in that sense, the question about who didn't pay is a question between FWD and that person -- not really anything that anyone else should spend any time to try to figure out, if you ask FWD.

Say my team puts it all together and wins, do I get one of those little trophies?

Yessir.

Damn that international shipping of trophies takes a long while!
Must be stuck at US customs where they don't believe a guy from Holland won a fantasy game on US #1 sport.

computers don't get trophies

I've been scouting the winter leagues and am meeting with my scouting department next week. You all are screwed this year. I frankly just feel sorry for you guys at this point.

[FromWayDowntown]

Hey Thunder Dan -- given that you were shopping Kobe Bryant in the Dynasty League forum, I think I'm the quitter whose Dynasty League team (a former champion of that league) you took over. Hope my crappy team is doing okay for you.

Will post something about Fantasy Baseball 2010 sometime soon.

CANNOT WAIT, fist year 4th place, last year 3rd. SO that means either first or 2nd for me this year .

[alamo50]

Oh of course, I must be getting the award during my first home game next season vs. THE THUNDER.........

lol, I'm in first place in my division 29-15. 5th overall I believe

Well, this quitter is happy that his team that must have sucked doesn't really suck that bad.

[Thunder Dan]

I don't talk trash in the league because it's a team that was handed to me and LJ drafted for me... I was trying to trade Kobe in the same way football coaches trade their star QB to get their own guy. Tyreke Evans is the guy who put the team over the top. But there is no way I'm winning the league b/c there are 2 really good teams.

This baseball league is 10x more fun than that basketball one. Nobody cares about that one it seems even though it's for alot of money. This isn't for much money but it's alot more compe ive

[Thunder Dan]

well my scouts are back from winter meetings and quite frankly I just feel sorry for all of you this season. You don't stand a chance

[FromWayDowntown]

I presume this means that "The Hammer" will be available to anyone who wants him when we draft our league?

[Thunder Dan]

a change of scenery is what is going to take Teahen to the next level. Great players like Mark can't succeed in that dump Kansas City. Chicago offers so much more to a player like Teahen. Just look at Bo Jackson, he wasn't when he was playing for the Royals, but was great for the White Sox. I expect atleast 27 home runs from the hammer this season in the park.

[Thunder Dan]

Kansas City is such a dump that it forces most great players out of the league once they land there. Just look at Gaylord Perry, Harmon Killebrew and Kyle Farnsworth. It's really a testament to The Hammer for being able to move on with his career in tact. He has a never say die at ude

[Thunder Dan]

I actually have 2 golden boys this year. Guys I will do anything to get. If I get the first pick this year I will trade it so I can position myself to land these 2 guys. I have their posters above my bed.
