Personally I think that they should remain private because if they were meant to be public, we wouldn't have sent private messages. I do thank you for asking me if it was ok, that was a decent thing to do. I say that we end this now and just move on and play the league without anymore debates. The sand is starting to swirl around a bit too much from all this hot air , and I would rather not get any sand in my eyes or your eyes. Let's just move on and enjoy the rest of the season.

As far as the PMs go, there is nothing in them other than a discussion of the issues, so I don't think there's anything in there that shouldn't be made public.
And a little sand in my eyes never bothered me. After all I lived in Rockaway, a block from the beach, for years.
With respect to the question of whether or not there was the opportunity for a league-wide discussion about these issues, apparently I have a different interpretation of the events than you do, so I guess we'll just have to let our dear readers make up their own minds.
But that said, I'm perfectly happy to let the whole thing go. It's giving me a headache, anyway.
How did things ever get so far? I don't know. It was so -- unfortunate -- so unnecessary.
We're quits. And if Don Cardi agrees, then I'm willing to let things go on the way they were before
And let me say that I swear - on the soul of my only child - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made here today......

Don Cardi - We are all honorable men here, we don't have to give assurances as if we were lawyersPlawrence - A lot of foolishness has come to pass. It was so unfortunate, so unnecessary.Don Cardi - Plawrence has lost a player; I have lost a player. You all know me. When have I ever refused an accommodation? But why, this time? Because I think this
waiver business will destroy us in the years to come.Don Malta- Times have changed. It's not like the Old Days -- when we can do anything we want. A refusal is not the act of a friend. If Don Cardi had all the managers, and the free agents in the league, then he must share them, or let us others use them. He must let us draw the water
from the well. Certainly he can -- present a bill for such services; after all -- we are not Communists. SC- I also don't believe in free agency. For years I paid my players extra so they wouldn't do that kind of business. -- Don Malta - Then we are agreed. The players in the waiver draft will be permitted, but controlled -- and Don
Cardi will give up his arguing with Plaw-- and there will be the peace. Plawrence - But I must hear strict assurance from Don Cardi. When time goes by and his team becomes stronger, will he attempt any individual vendetta?Don Cardi- You talk about vengeance. Is vengence going to bring back your player to you, or mine to me? But I have selfish reasons. My number 1 player had to flee, accused of high sticking, and I must now make arrangements so that he can come back to the team with safety, cleared of all those false penalties. That is my affair, and I will make those arrangements.(with strength) But I am a superstitious man... and so if some unlucky accident should befall my best player, if some referee should accidentally trip him, or if he should hang himself in the penalty box, then I will blame some of the people here. That, I could never forgive, but... aside from that, let me swear by the souls of my players that I will never be the one to break the peace we have made here today.(Don Cardi and DMC move toward the head of the table where Don malta is sitting. Plawrence does the same. Don Cardi and Plawrence embrace as the others applaud] Don Cardi

Sure, JL...... now you come out and post - when it's nice and safe and the fireworks are all over.  Where were you the last week when DC or me needed you to take sides? Just start getting your MOAAFSy ass ready for YAHOO Fantasy baseball. :p Pitchers and catchers report in only six weeks.

Yeah, well just remember....pitchers and catchers in six weeks. I spoke to JG already, and he promised me that if you don't play he'd put the word "MOAFS" on that list of words that comes out in all asterisks when you type it, so you'll be M****

Here's another flaw in the way Yahoo works the waiver system (No, I don't stay up all night thinking of these things; this just came to me ). Suppose there are two players on waivers that I want to claim. Call them Beth and Buffy. The one I want the most is Beth, the one I want the "second most" is Buffy. The two players I am willing to drop, call them Geoff and SC. Geoff is the one I am most willling to lose, and I really don't want to lose SC unless I have to, but I'm willing to if I get the guy I'm claiming. So I first claim Beth, and drop Geoff. Then I claim Buffy, and drop SC. But..... If someone beats me on the claim for Beth, and I win the claim for Buffy, of the two players that I was willing to lose, I wind up losing the player that I would've preferred to keep. They have a way to prioritize who you want when making multiple waiver claims, but you can't prioritze who you lose if you are not awarded both claims.

Lou is just unstoppable in everything, huh? As for the dead teams, why are they still being posted? I think DMC should be listed last! :p

 I found 'em, DM. Took some doing, though...... No mention anywhere in this thread about playoffs, so I took a look at "Leagye Settings". No mention of playoffs there, either But then I found them. If you click on the link for "Schedule & Results" and scroll to the bootom, you'll see that weeks 23-25 are the "playoffs weeks" In week 23, the #1 and #2 seeds get a bye, and he #4 plays #5 and the #3 plays #6. The winners face the #1 and #2 in week 24, and the winners of that round meet for the championship in week 25. There are also consolation match-ups for the losers. So congratulations to all of us.  Just Lou was not the "first" team to clinch a playoff spot. We all clinched one when we reduced the league to six teams.

Remember back when I was starting this league, and I posted that I would like to get 12 teams playing or not have a league? And someone( I won't say who ) here said " Why not have a league? We can play with 6 teams if we want to." And why would you be surprised that there will be playoffs in this league anyway? Um.......What playoffs? Don't your other fantasy leagues have playoffs?

So that's why they posted that JustLou's team has already clinched a playoff spot. I understand that Yahoo thinks that we still have 8 teams and that's why they indicated that JL clinched a playoff spot, all I'm saying is that I don't see why any "congratulations" were called for. Remember back when I was starting this league, and I posted that I would like to get 12 teams playing or not have a league? And someone( I won't say who ) here said " Why not have a league? We can play with 6 teams if we want to." Yeah, I remember saying that, but what does that have to do with anything? Of course, had we set up the league originally with only six teams, though (remember the original NHL? Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and New York), I presume that we would have had only four make the playoffs, not all six. And why would you be surprised that there will be playoffs in this league anyway?.....Don't your other fantasy leagues have playoffs? Hey, don't single me out and pick on me.  Apparently DMC was also unaware that there would be playoffs. And who knows who else didn't realize it? I just found it strange that no mention was ever made of playoffs, when they would be, what the format would be, etc. As far as our other fantasy games go, the only one we've played here that has had playoffs was Yahoo Fantasy Football, and with fewer than half the teams making the playoffs, that was the main topic of discussion once we got near the end of the season. All the rest of the games were Salary Cap or Points Only, so there were no playoffs. Speaking of which, you are all cordially invited to join our Yahoo Points Only (no playoffs ) Baseball League. Tentative date for the live draft is Monday, March 20th, at 9:30 PM.
