see how that new one does ya.
see how that new one does ya.
God damn I love my team now that I have Machado. Brian hooked me up with exactly what I needed to make a run at this.
Morry, what do you want for Miggy?
i want to watch the world burn.
my team, besides the guys i have set as untouchable, is open for business.....with the understanding that if you offer me something that isn't fair i'm gonna come in here and mock you for it.
and even my untouchables might not be untouchable.
Sent you an offer, Matthew.
very tempted by that offer, atty. felt like i wasn't giving you enough, though.
Gracious of you to decline, but I'd be more than willing to take the hit on my team.
Frosty, I'm sure you've seen it but I have another counter offer that will expire today. As it would be a fairly MASSIVE trade, I'd be more than willing to extend the deadline if you want to think about it. It's one of those trades where, if Kemp wakes up, I lose it but think I can take the hit there as my outfield will be stocked once people stop dying on me.
My team is a fucking MASH Unit.
OH COME ON!!!!!! For christ sake, last night it was Zimmerman going off on one and hitting 3 HR against me, tonight it's fricking Ellsbury doing his best Carl Lewis impression and stealing FIVE fucking stolen bases. Words fail me.
Atty if Kemp was not on the DL I would have accepted that trade
We are frighteningly close to a trade, Defrost.
After much debate I accepted. I'm not crazy about Carter but I need Justin and going from a 1B to an OF in Freeman (who I love)/Holliday clears out the utility log jam I had.
I am now in the market for another starter and Heyward and Ortiz are on the table, y'all. Ortiz may break the table.
Morry, I sent you an offer and immediately canceled it. Figured you wouldn't want a four for one and losing the likes of Ortiz, Heyward (when he's just heating up) and the other two would be fantasy suicide on my part for a single man. It'd be the Saving Private Ryan of trades.
No one gives a shit about your deluded trade fantasies about acquiring Miguel Cabrera without including anything of fair value.
I was looking at Kemp/Stanton, Ortiz, Heyward and Donaldson for him, but it'd harm my team more than help it.
i dont give a fuck what my record is
i love my team
It doesn't have PUIG though
i wasn't going to accept, because it really was so ridiculously suicidal of him, but ya can't say he wasn't giving me anything in return for him.
and in other news, i'm actively looking for a closer since perez has the shoulder cancer from breaking up too many ounce baggies. and by 'actively looking,' i'm saying you people should offer me trades.
I sent ya one, boyo.
Take THAT, CHRISTOPHERSON
I ACTUALLY WON A MATCH. HAHAHA
i don't understand hitty accepting that trade from torn, at all, besides the braun love, which is probably misplaced for a fantasy team.
complete opposite for any love of miggy.
whats not to understand about it? braun is still the better player than harper, and grienke is just a notch or 2 below kershaw.
harper isn't going to miss an additional month on an under-performing season where the MLB has thought about suspending him. he's on pace for career lows in homers and steals and is hitting the DL for the first time ever. and a notch or two below kershaw? the only stat they're even close in is wins and losses, otherwise kershaw is blowing grienke out of the water. lowest ERA in the NL and cy young candidate.
so he hits the dl and that means he cant come back and finish the season strong? and the whole suspension thing isnt something im worrying about.
as for grienke, the dude is good, real good. hes been banged up, but when hes healthy hes a difference maker.
WOO back in contention!
SUCK ON THE TORN.
I'm about to have a winning record for the first time this year.
if that doesn't become torn's catchphrase, i quit
!
If this was the final I'd have streamed with my massive era lead but no point fucking my roster for an extra category win when I have a 20 win lead in the division (you and Chris not being in the division is lovely). Bloody Kershaw needing just 5 Ks to TIE and ending up with only 3 though and then Grilli wasn't used . I don't know how or why I ended up with 24 SB, slight overkill.
Hey so Morrison may have beaten his team this week but does Yasiel Puig care?
NOPE. HUGE BAT FLIP ON A SINGLE.
Torn, you rat bastard.
...Jansen wanted to come home.
I love that being 1 game below .500 is good enough for second place in division 1.
I'm comin' for you. 17-2-1 in the past two weeks.
It's always fun when one day can swing a match completely off. I was up 7-3 going to the final day, then a huge day causes me to lose 7-2.
More fun when it goes the other way...
Did this really happen I hadn't noticed, oh well all in a days work.
Yep.
And now Matt Kemp is dead again. DEAD!
Yeah mate I noticed, I see everything with my one eye. I actually left two homers on the bench on Sunday as well. Third base is such black hole for me this year, well that and having no power ( yeah, fuck you Fielder ) but everything else is gravy baby.
Would you be interested in David Freese, the fantasy equivalent of spaghetti with no sauce?
Hopefully Rendon can hold things down until Gyorko is back next week. I don't really see Freese as that much of upgrade really but thanks for the offer.
what about my 3rd baseman? whomever that would be
That would be Todd Frazier and nah I think I'll pass on that, cheers though.
Josh Donaldson interest you?
Rendon as your starting 3B
Bite my shite Tornski, he'll do (not really but I'm winning and he will suffice for now might be a problem in the play offs though).
Atty to be fair to you I think that's one of the more fairer trades you have offered me but the answer is no mate. I'm not ready to give up just yet on Fielder the fucker cost me a high enough pick.

Was that Christopherson who beat me last week? I swear, every pitcher on my team gave up 85 runs over the weekend. It was insane.
Yes cushty indeed it was me, commiserations my man.
Yo hitty, offered you a trade, brother. I don't have my heart set on Lucroy, but I'd like to see if we can figure something out with him or McCann.
countered it cewsh
You would need to get Joe Mauer involved if we're talking about Reyes. Countered.
let me know how my latest offer works for ya cewshster
I thought about it long and hard, but I'm not willing to move Reyes. I'd rather not move a top player on either of our teams. I think we can work something out without smashing our teams up.
I accepted the last one, did it go through though?
shit happens
Hey remember when I said Atty was getting better at trades?
He's regressed back to the mean, unfortunately.
Donaldson and A. Sanchez are NOT going to get you David Price and Hosmer Atty. Not now not ever my friend.
Hey, I'm not the guy who was running a shortstop with one home run out there at third base most of the year.
Nice to see I'm the one most affected by the PED scandal. Gee if only there was a player out there where I could trade Cruz and Cabrera for the number one pitcher...hmmm hmmm . I kid, I kid .
FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK.
I am so one and done in the play offs, no power and just lost my biggest speed threat. Yippee.
Also, I'm a small, bitter man. Just I case you missed that point.
You know who isn't suspended?
ANY OF MY TEAM
SAME.
Feels good to have dealt ol' Johnny when the rumors were swirling.
i am thankful for having such an great first half, cause i've been dogshit since the all-star break.
I'm really confident in my team getting me into the playoffs, after a really rotten start. I just need my pitchers to stop taking turns giving up 10 runs.
it appears I have the all ped team. oh well. was hoping the suspensions wouldnt be happening until after the season at best, at worst was hoping for some appeals from the suspended guys.
hope my patchwork team can sneak its way into the playoffs!
WHY IS MY TEAM SO INJURED
I feel like this is definitely karma for mocking Christopherson
Not often your team flukes a tie by winning wins on the final day streaming an Astros starter
Me, Morrison and Christopherson have clinched playoff spots with 2 weeks left, with Atty, Cewsh and hitty basically dead level fighting for the 4th spot
It is killing me how my team has choked on 3 Sundays in a row. I was up 8-2 coming into Sunday and wound up 5-5. Impossible to pull away from Atty and hitty with everyone taking the last day off.
i can't keep consistent anymore. this week my team kills the hitting, where it's been lacking lately, and i stall on all the pitching stats. i got fucking greedy with my streaming over the weekend.
also, since it was an issue last season, i think it's agreed that all trades are off-limits, now. doesn't seem like anything is going to happening, but SOMEBODY needs to say it and establish the thought as precedent.
Whichever Chris I am playing, you're a jerk and I hate you forever.
I'm actually wondering that too. I know there was some debate over that last year, but not sure where it landed.
The projected playoff bracket says it would be me. I'm still within reach of you guys anyway though.
i've always thought it should be top two from each division, but i don't think it's ever been changed and it takes the top four teams from the whole league.
Divisions are pretty stupid in a 10 team league, no? Why would you want a team with a worse record to get in?
Anyway I'm guessing it's division champions get in, then 2 wild cards. Same as MLB
I got real lucky that Atty and Hitty both had shitty weeks too, so I'm still in it. Things are gonna come down to the wire.
Atty I think we ended up with the exact same record and you got me on the tiebreaker. Bastard.
It was a fun race down to the wire. At least I wasn't way in last this time. Good luck in the playoffs, fellas.
This. In a lot of ways this was more fun than the past couple years where I plowed into the playoffs and there was no real doubt. It was helped by having a couple teams with ridiculous records, but having a situation where 3-4 teams are RIGHT THERE for the final spot was so much fun. Kind of hate getting in while tied with Fro. I mean, I love it, but I kind of feel like it was a Private Ryan "EARN THIS!" moment and that I have to win now.
Yeah, last year I couldn't have cared less about who won while I stewed in last, but now I'm actively rooting for Atty as the winner of the the race for the last spot.
You're rooting for ME? This is a trap isn't it? That was a flavor packet I just poured into my water, right?
TEAM ATTY.
ATTY'S GONNA KILLLLLLLL YOU.
Sanchez was lights out tonight, while Donaldson homered again and stole a base.
I'd actually be losing this match so far had you accepted.
Congrats, Christopherson. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Good luck in the finals, Morrison.
