***OFFICIAL*** FFA MLB Draft (2 Viewers)

[Sammy3469]

Can we not go changing teams until all of us get our whacks against these guys?  If all of a sudden the these teams start playing well, while the Mr. P's and Koyas of the world got to pad their records and stats against them, I'm calling John.

I padded my record against your team.

You went 2-1 and you should've went 1-2. Don't joke about this, I'm serious now.

I thought those games were under PROTEST

Hi Sammy -Those games are under protest and we should have a decision by Thursday. JM

Thanks for clearing that up John...I just wanted to see if I was really only one game bak of Nipsey since I'm 4-7

I'd say 3 to 4 games back is a correct assumption.

Thanks John..I just didn't want to get my hopes up since I play Nipsey and Cap, 8 times in thenext 2 days.

I know I'm supposed to be a nuetral observant, but damn I'm rooting hard for Nipsey. A lot of the guys here at the office are pulling for him. He sent us ribs.

He sent your RIBS I know you two are , but that's a serious show of commitment, especially on Valentine's Day

 

[Not Nipsey's Alias]

This is what we heard about the hijackers and looked what happened there....

Well ... go out there and beat those teams, then.

What does this mean? You miss Nipsey's point. We were told that the hijackers would be merely filler teams and now some are leading their divisions. Now we're going to juice up dummy teams too? And we're being told it won't matter, just make things more competitive? We've heard this line before....

Second thought, I'm going with Joey Fatone here.

 

[10993]

Tudor and Orosco are the best lefty bullpen tandem in this league.

I'll take Hippo and Sallee for $1000, Alex.

Whose "we"? I don't remember any "John Martinez" around when these discussions were ongoing?I do remember Nipsey being around, though ...

Next time we face each other, we'll see about that.

What if I told you Nipsey's real name was John Martinez (same as mine)? Whose mind would that blow?In all seriousness, I think Nipsey makes a valid point here. This was supposed to be about 16 guys trying to draft the best pre-1995 squad they could and have some fun along the way. Thanks to Koya, that dream was almost not realized, but you guys made it anyway. Now you want to try and screw it up even more? Shame on some of you.

 

[Doug B]

LB44's team is for real. He has the best pitching staff.

Strangely, all but one of his ten pitchers is a righty. Glavine is his sole LHP.

 

[SimFisher]

1.64 staff ERA, baby.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

What ever happened to the OOTP sim, also?

I'm doing one. I have all the player's seasons imported and now just have to assign them to the teams. Then I have to customize the ballparks.

How do you go about importing everyone's seasons? Which program features do you use? I'd like to go ahead and do that right now, too.

I pretty much gave up on the OOTP thing when I saw that without a good normalized database, the stats weren't going to be realistic because of the way it rates the old players.

 

[Not Nipsey's Alias]

1.64 staff ERA, baby.

I was told this was an alias-free thread....

 

[Mr. Pickles]

1.64 staff ERA, baby.

:rotflmao: That outta ruffle a few feathers.

that could be in part due to the fact that I didn't even try to look at lefty/right, I just picked the next best pitcher left...if it hurts me in the end, so be it...

Not really. I hear "simfisher" is the term used around here to denigrate the expected winners, in a sad and pethetic attempt to take the luster off their victories. To me, that's not the best point. But I'm just a Winner, baby--that's what I'm about.

Outing? I just agree with him. It is lonely on the top of the heap, so I'm glad to have a little realism brought to it.

Harrier,It's no problem at all. But remember, as you said earlier, there's too many good teams in this race to think that one person can run away with it.Best of luck though.

I'm just here for the people, LB44. I'm about winning, not whining. Trying, not crying. I'd like to see a little less complaining and a little more training. I'm about winning, LB. That's who I am. I'd appreciate it if Koya and the rest of the whiners could get on board with that.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Nipsey, is there a form for filing protests? thanks.

Take it like a man. Do NOT create aliases to help your cause. Very bush league.

And how.

Relax LB. No one ever said you had a bad team. I just continue to wonder if you understand the word 'vintage'. You have Tim Wakefield and Paul Quantrill on your team Larry?!?!?! You might win every game the rest of the season but outside of Mathewson, Rice and a couple others it aint so vintage.

 

[UCONN]

Other than Harrier and UCONN, anyone else afraid of the baseball forum vote, if we get to that point?  Seemed most people wanted it when I asked during the draft and now, but if not, not worth the effort.  Im more than willing to post the votes, but only if people are psyched about it.  What ever happened to the OOTP sim, also?  You may now return to calling me a whiner when I stand pretty damned consistent on an issue throughout the draft. 

Afraid? I'm looking forward to it. I've said about 50 times in this thread alone that I'm in favor of testing our lineups in as many forums as possible and as many sims as possible. When that's been written so many times, how can you so intentionally ignore it? You're like Larry with his dragons at this point, almost a caricature of yourself.UCONN and I were just observing that you'll keep asking for different forms of evaluation until you get someone to tell you that you have the best team. I'd say that assertion and your desperation seems to be pretty well supported by the evidence.

You are a classic harrier. If what you spouted was true, you would have a case. Please present your evidence?3rd year rule - I have said all along it was stupid and could hurt an accurate representation of our teams. forums to vote - from the beginning, i mentioned the baseball forum, since they will know a lot more than FFA.sim fishing - how many deadballers? again, it is well within the rules. might work great in sim, but that doesnt make it a "better team" - but that even is up to debate.Now, how am I desperate again, in an online draft, that should basically be for fun and worthless bragging rights? Because I missed the memo. Thanks.
