Trading away LeBron for a bag of potato chips will do that to you! :p

...and they weren't even Sour Cream & Onion flavored :rolleyes:

You should have held out for some tongue! :p

You two are gonna give me a bad rap and make all the newbies afraid to trade with me.

The Lebron trade seemed fair at the time, it just didn't work out for JG.

Ask JG about his other great moves, like simply cutting Antowan Jamison and Gerald Wallace.

He didn't even get back a bag of chips for either of those guys.

No..Bethie is the requestee.. Say no. It's no sweat off my nose..hahaha.

Hmmmmm.... that means you regret requesting the trade, and I should say YES!!! :p

But then again, you *are* a chick... who knows what you're thinking, really... :p

But then again, you *are* a chick... who knows what you're thinking, really... :p [/b][/quote]I didn't request the trade. Could you refresh my memory on what trade request you are referring to. I must be having a senior moment.

Less than 3 1/2 days to go.....

Everyone all excited?

You get excited over what you want, I'll get excited over what I want. I'm more confused then anything.

Oops, my bad!

I saw "Bedroom Bombers" and thought it was you for some reason...

I think that's Don Andrew. How can you not know who "San Diego or bust is"? :p

I'm glad it's you who's going senile and not me.

Ah yes... the "bust" should've given it away.

And besides, it's not like you bomb in the bedroom, right?

I actually read "bedroom" as "basement" for some reason... I guess I am getting senile...

I think maybe because it's initials are bb, and that's my baseball initials.

I didn't want to touch the "I must bomb in the bedroom" scenerio, but I was thinking it.

Hey, I'm still offering anybody on my squad to anyone in the fantasy game for a bag of peanuts, a box of cracker jacks and a mail order bride. No one is interested? :p

Poor Orioles fans. Anna Benson has filed for divorce from new Oriole Kris Benson. Now, what do we do for entertainment? She's filing for divorce on grounds the marraige has be irreversibly broken down.

Does the thought of moving to Baltimore bother her that much?

Now that she is available, if anyone can persuade Anna Benson's crazy but beautiful ass to by my woman, I would trade all the stud players on my team plus a bag of peanuts, a box of cracker jacks and a 2 4 of the beer of your choice, and by your choice I mean MY choice (Molson Canadian, Labatt's, Carling, M.G.D., Budweiser, Coors etc.) Hell, I'll also throw in a bottle of your favourite liquor (and by your favourite, I mean MY favourite((s)) (((Canadian Club, Canadian Mist, Crown Royal, Seagram's, Yukon Jack, Dr. McGillicuddy's etc.)))) :p

that would be me now, are you waiting the season to start so you see who's playing better??? :p the fact is Varitek has demanded a trade. he'd hit in the 8th spot of my lineup and he told me he wants to go. I don't care if I'm lowering (does this word exist?) his tradind value, the fact is he's not being a good influence in the clubhouse.

Why do you hate Varitek so much??

hey I don't hate him at all! actually I really like him as a player, only not that much as a fantasy player.

I don't know if Plaw wants to do his "extended stats" for this game or not, but here're the point totals for Day 1:

April 2 Results

Gkad you mentioned "extended stats"

I had originally said that I would determine the waiver priority order based not only on the standings, but on the standings based on "Projected Points" (like I do in basketball), rather than on the raw point totals that Yahoo provides.

However.....I realized when attempting to figure out "Projected Points" there is a lot of work involved, since there are three separate components involved - Starting Pitching, Relief Pitching, and Offense - all of which have to be treated and weighted differently.

So....I'm just gonna adjust the waiver order every day based on the Yahoo standings.

After everyone's team "settles in" there aren't gonna be that many waiver claims anyway (I don't think).

What I will do every 5-7 days or so is post a standings which are based on projected points scored for the season so everyone has an idea of how the are doing relative to everyone else when taking into account how many games of their maximums they have used up, and when I do it the first time, I'll post the formula.

Another little glitch which I've noticed is yahoo's failure to give us two essential pieces of information:

1- A running total of how many games we've used at each offensive position (again, as they do in basketball) so we can monitor our own progress towards the 162 game maximum.

I have to believe, though, that since they offer as part of the game set-up a "maximum number of games at each position (for non-pitchers)" that this information will be forthcoming eventually, and if it doesn't appear within the next few days I'll write to Yahoo and ask them what's going on.

If necesaary, that's something I can keep track of manually and post every day.

2- The other bit of info which they don't seem to be offering as of yet is the "Game Log" for each team.

That's the little thingy that keeps track of how many points, category by category, each of your players has scored for you, and that's the raison d'etre for having made "Starts" by a SP a stat category.

The thinking was that by looking at your "Game Log" it would tell you how many starts anyone you had ever used as a SP had made when you had that SP in your lineup as a starter.

Since that seems to be absent (so far) as well, that's another bit of info that, if necessary, I will keep track of manually and post daily.

So, JG......

In answer to your question.....

I will come up with some kind of "extended stats" posting every day which contains the information that we all need.

I'm just not sure yet what it should (and will) include, and probably won't be for at least a gfew days until we see what info Yahoo is gonna give us and what we're gonna have to figure out ourselves, and also I want to wait until we have a few more games under our belts so the stas start to take on a little bit of meaning.

So for now, just the standings and a raw points total is fine.

The only addition I made to your post is an accounting of the number of starts by your starting pitchers ("SPU" - "Starting Pitchers Used"), since that's a key stat in the march to the 162 game maximum, and one that that greatly affects the standings.

( NB...I also changed Don Jasini's initials from the "JA" you called him to the "DJ" that I think I've been calling him all along).

Just for the record, in case anyone has forgotton....

I only used JA instead of DJ cuz DJ means Double-J in these parts, but whichever....

[Whine Alert]

Arrrggghhh, friggin' Pirates bullpen.

[/Whine Alert]

You need more than one whine alert for that, my friend! 16 pts outta Perez is pretty good. I only got 5 from Carpenter, and freakin' -7 from Zambrano!! :rolleyes:

Commissioner's Rulings:

1- In anticipation of getting an additional 7 points from Perez for the win, DB's whine was permissable with only one whine alert.

2- JG failed to provide us with a whine alert in his whine about Carpenter and Zambrano.

Working harder to serve you better

Nomar Garciapara is such a pu**y. I think his wife is more of a man then he is.

Thank GOD for Andruw Jones.

I think you're in the wrong thread, Bethie.

I have Andruw Jones in this game. You have him in the Salary Cap game.

Which thread am I in again? I have him in Salary Cap..Where am I at? I think I need a map.

I'm just used to seeing baseball in the title and talking some smack. Now we have to be careful. I'm not liking this already.

Oh yeah, (whine alert)

Lehr got the win. Had Perez gotten it, there's be NO reason to whine at all. It's bad enough whining about 16 pts, which is gonna be a great line this year with our scoring, I think.

In a few days we'll see if pitching is valued correctly or not. :p

Very true... But if Perez had gotten the win, I don't think I would have written "Friggin' Pirates bullpen"! :p

My pain was alleviated when Turnbow picked up the save in the same game.
