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

LASTRESORT IS IN :pickle:I'll get a dummy team in tonight, and we can roll.We already have two bad dummy teams right? One decent one will be created, and then we'll need to make two more. :hifive:
Maybe you should have wished I had stayed outThank god I got Ruth back. In this Sim above, Ruth hit a 3-run Game-winning homer. :thumbup: I've SimMatchup-ed a few games w/ Ruth in my lineup. The guy is an absolute terrorist at the plate. What's also good about him is that he can play 1B, so there'll be times where I can put him at 1st and put either Bill Lange or Luis Gonzalez in RF, depending if I want speed or a big bat.This simleague thing is awesome.BTW, I'm downloading the latest verison of Java (it's taking forever), so I should be ready to go soon, if I don't get bored and stop the download. I also ordered a CD, so that should be a little quicker.
 
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: I really can't get enough of nipsey v koya shtick. As for harrier's team, it looks solid now, but I'm betting the sim changes things up, on all accounts. This exhibition games are a ton of fun, but let's face it..I can't pitch RJ everyday, the Train can't go everyday, things are going to be different when looked at in light of a 162-game season.Will harrier win? Maybe. But I've seen plenty of impressive teams so far, and I won't be giving an inch to him. We'll have to see. I'm ready to roll. :popcorn:
What is this Schtick thing you talking about?By the way, my friend told me I could find some ribs here. TIA
 
IWKS just whooped up on me. Joe D hit 3 bombs in his first 3 trips to the plate. I've said "this is my last game" atleast 3 times today. man this is addictive.

 
Just edged out UCONN behind 3 Joe D homers, Palmer walked the joint but the Curse Reversing Idiots survived.I'm out for now will chaek back later.

 
Thus, I drafted based on those stats. This has nothing to do with simfishing, and everything to do with statfishing. [snip][/snip]2. Sim-fishing: I picked Les Lancaster for his third year, specifically. Guilty as charged.
:unsure:
One quote refers to the entirety of my team, the other refers to one particular player. If you still don't understand it after this explanation, feel free to PM me and we can go over it at a reduced speed.

To even insinuate that Eck was a simfished pick is dirty pool. Ecks not even great in this thing, and to say that I may have simfished when picking him is Koya-esque in my opinion.

How is me passing on players who had crappy 3rd seasons any different than you confirming with Capella that you wouldn't have to use Eckersley's crappy 3rd season? :shrug:

It's different because with you, there's a history of shady dealings going on. I simply asked which season would count because I was trying to get the rule out in the forefront. I was taking him no matter what capella said because he encaptures everything I want in my players....a tough attitude, a winning personality, and a twinkle in his eye. If you don't get that, then clearly we don't see eye to eye here.

 
In an attempt to lighten the mood around here, I just finished a game with Koya in the SLLive. Boy, what a game it was.

He started Dazzy Vance, I started Gaylord Perry. Vance was shaky early, allowing 3 runs and a buttload of walks. Perry was good early on, but imploded in the 6th.

Fastforward to the Top of the 9th

After finally subbing in Jesse Orosco and Mike Marshall to clean up Perry's mess, they combine to shut down Koya's team for two innings. However, I'm still down 7-5. Marshall was up to bat, so I subbed him out for Mark McGwire (I started Ruth at 1st and Bill Lange at RF. BTW, Lange sucks). McGwire singles. Eddie Collins walks. Pinch-hitting for Lange, Norm Cash pops out. Ruth walks. So now, the bases are loaded with Albert Belle coming to the plate. Belle, up to this point, has had 1 hit in 3 AB's. What does he do? SMACKS A BASES-CLEARING TRIPLE to give me a 8-7 lead. John Wetteland comes in to shut the game down and Bellucci's Bombers come back to defeat Koya's BK Bums 8-7!

God, I'm a geek. :nerd:

Only one of them was earned, though. Al Simmons had a meltdown in CF, which led to 5 runs. :own3d:
 
I've decided that since all of us spent a lot of time, and some money on this, we need prizes.

So first place will be receiving a beautiful retro cap from a player on their team (of their choosing):

example, I'll be ordering this tonight

Second place (and one of the two league champs) deserves a prize as well. Thinking about the Bill James Abstract or maybe Win Shares.

How about this?1st place gets a Retro Cap of their choice and a subscription to baseballprospectus.com (or some other fantasy baseball info site)

2nd place just gets the subscription.

Or maybe they can have an option of getting the Bill James Baseball Abstract. Reason I suggested the subscription is because I already have the Bill James Abstract (published in 2003 I believe).

7 & 3/8ths
 
I'm contemplating going on a tirade to get this thread locked so no one else has to suffer. :blackeye:
I say do it, it won't be the first tirade we've had in this thread (Spock).
 
Leftovers team created. Salary ~ $159mm. Had to swap a few players to get enough relievers, and to replace the stolen (j/k) Carlos Delgado and Rusty Staub, and to get a good L/R split (not sure if that even matters).

That now makes 4 quasi-real teams and 16 real teams. Just need 2 more joke teams now.

:fishing:
No, I'm serious. I can wear a 7 1/2 if the cap is small, otherwise I'd need to lose the extra 1/8th. I'll check them out tonight and let you know which team. Thanks! :thumbup:

I usually wear 7 1/2 myself. Sometimes I have to get 7 5/8t, though. I have a huge f'ing head.
 
I simmed 4 games against Harrier and went 3-1. I take a 7 5/8. TIA. I'd like 'Goslin' accross the back of the hat.

Who did you have pitching for me/you?
Your 1-4 vs my 1-4. Two at your park, two at mine. I won the first 3, you beat Tiant. Good games though. All 4 were close.

I got to Mordecai when we played. I hit and ran myself out of some really big innings, otherwise I'd probably have won by double digits...I'm reasonably confident I can beat him with Steib and maybe a little Orel. I'll be on later if you want some.
 
Someone come get some. I'm watching Koya and Last Resort play now.
And you just watched the Bombers beat the Bums again, this time 4-2 thanks to solo bombs by Babe Ruth (aka God) and Al Simmons in the 8th. Sam McDowell went the distance.
 
watch the language. dont make me report you.especially with my bullpen blowing all these late leads. walters suceeded as a starter - can lefty gomez be a closer? dazzy vance maybe????help me cheebuz!!!
