GM's thread about nothing (35 Viewers)

[Osaurus]

Christ almighty...one of our partners sent us a BOX full of oranges from Florida. There's probably 100 oranges in here. I just went to eat one and it was like a date with Cytheria. I tried to peel it and it just exploded all over with juice shooting in 7 different directions. I tried to cut it with a knife and it sprayed all over the kitchen. What the hell, man? How are we supposed to eat these things?

PM Shuke for details.

PMing Shuke also scares the #### out of me. I guess I will pass on the league.

I was going to join, but not if they go and up the innings cap. Sheesh.

We should have some Ace of Diamond openings. I'm kicking X out, so there's at least one available slot.

Decided at the last minute to fast today. Have had nothing but water and gum since 7pm last night. Just felt the need to mix things up with my body, give it the day off of that whole digesting thing.So far, so good, but I may have to go to bed around 4 just to make it work.

Had no issues all day, and now in the last 10 minutes my whole being is telling me to shove all of the contents of the vending machine down my piehole. 70 mins until the end of work. If I can just make it home I can do it.

But you have been against increasing the innings for a few years now

No, I really haven't. I've already said I don't give a ####. I'm not the commish. I believe the spot is open, as it has been for 7 years. If you want to take the reigns and start changing rules and stuff, by all means feel free. I'm just trying to help organize the draft.Make the rules whatever you want them to be, I will still dominate you.

Sounds like all the makings of a Cake 2 league disgruntled GM, Bogart...solid start so far. Pretty sure Tanner is in, just 17 more to go

That's because you've never tried it with an extra 150 innings.

Went from 225 in September to 195 by Christmas. Shooting for 175. Kinda stuck at a plateau where everything I have been doing is not getting any further results. Getting discouraged and sliding into some of my old habits/foods. Crept back up to 200. So decided when I woke up this morning to fast, just get my head right, kind of a centering/spiritual thing. Was doing real good up until about 45 minutes ago, but had another big glass of water and a new piece of gum, and back in control.

I need to retroactively make a resolution to not discuss anything that involves politics on this board. Nobody learns anything, nobody cares about anything but shouting the other side down, and it's the same people who have been having the same arguments for years. Bah.

you just noticed that? that's the main reason 95% of my posts are here or in the drunk thread. Even non-political threads get derailed by the same morons making the same political arguments in every thread.

Well I have a bit of experience in the politics threads. I have been cutting back on the ones I get into. And I rarely have a bunch of posts in those threads these days. But I do enjoy an occasional "discussion". Sometimes a response is warranted at least IMO. And I would say that some people do change their minds. They just don't do it in public.

We just received a box of them too. Damn they are good, but damn they are juicy and messy.Have to quarter them and just suck the juice out, the meat of the orange is just too tough to eat.

[cosjobs]

14 teams and a tiny bump in innings pitched? Just try 1400 innings...you might like it.

Look, I'm not the keeper of the rules. I'm just the only one every year not lazy enough in this league to make sure we have everyone committed to it.

It's hard enough getting people to pay and making sure everyone is available for a draft, and I don't have the time or energy to try to coordinate league rule changes. Hell, I don't even know how to set the rosters, Jethro usually does that.

I'm not for or against whatever rules, as long as the majority agrees. I'm just trying to get 14-16 dudes to agree on a time and place for a draft.

I think Yahoo free leagues default to 1250, which is why we've always used it. I don't know if we can even tweak that number without upgrading to some other package.

I'm just trying to make this as easy as possible.

Look, I get all that. And I'm very appreciative of your efforts. I run another league just like this one, only I don't have a Jethro to help me out, so believe me, I get where you are coming from.But you have been against increasing the innings for a few years now and since you are the one person not lazy enough to take on the roll of commish, your reticence is infectious whether you think that or not. And when you move to 16 owners and keep the innings capped at 1250, you hamstring the league by putting an incredible amount of value on closers and make it hard for teams with competitive rotations to compete with the owners who have stacked line-ups. If you want to have more owners, you need to consider augmenting the value of starting pitchers. It's an argument we've gone over before. I'm going to guess it will fall on deaf ears again.

As for the league default, that's just simply not the case. As I've said to you before, all you have to do is go into the league settings and adjust the number upwards. WA LA. There is no agenda from Yahoo to keep the IP at 1250.

As far as league payment goes, I've helped you out twice in the last two years collecting league dues and we did it just fine. It took some teeth pulling for some (Cough cough FIN cough) but we got it done. As a guy who has run several different leagues consisting of internet strangers for over a decade, I know it's a giant pain in the butt...but I've done my part to get the league dues in and back out in a timely fashion. All I'm asking for is a consideration for more innings pitched. I'm not asking you to suit up and hit homeruns for me.

A flight from Austin costs about $550 one way, but I can get into Dayton or Columbus for about $200.

How easy is it to get from Day or Col to CVG?

Dayton would be easy. Maybe an hour down 75. But you have to drive the car back to Austin? When and why?
