I HAVE CONQUERED BANNING!!!I was banned, yet now I live. Banning no long holds dominion over man. He who believes in me shall never be banned. Now go, and make believers of all forums, baptizing them in the name of Nipsey, Mr. Ham, and every other ####ing alias he has ever gone by. You shall be called Nipsevians, and I will be with you always, even to the end of this thread.

Great. The Jack Johnson one in particular is really good. As is Bob Marley. Haven't had a chance to listen to the Police show. The Tribe one is okay but, as is typical of most live rap shows, is mostly just shouting and heavy breathing.I've thanked you in several threads but maybe you didn't see them. Should've used the PM.Anyway, thanks.how are the CDs?I agree with the limey.Do not believe the RUDE one. He is a liar and a common thief.

yeah, most hip hip recordings don't turn out that well...but, not many of them get recorded and circulated so we gotta take what we can get.BTW, you can download some kickass shows at www.easytree.org if you're interested. All free and completely legal.

Don't worry. We're just letting Nipsey go back and redraft from the available pool of players since his team didn't turn out so well.

This might fall under strategy that I need to decide on my own, but I'm curious how others set up their pitching staff.I went with a 5 man rotation, closer, setup A&B, one Long guy I think, and one mopup. Is this how others see it? I could probably go with a 4 man rotation, but don't want to draw the ire from certain individuals.
Giant Wooden Badger

Is there somewhere that explains how they use the guys if you set them up as A & B? Will they only use them in certain situations or what?
I'm curious about this too. Went w/ a 5-man rotation. I didn't draft any of those deadball 900 innings a year guys. In the bullpen I put my two extra starters (I drafted 7 starters and 3 TRUE relievers...we were supposed to draft atleast 2, a rule some ignored) as long A and long B. One is lefty and one is righty. If I was managing the game I would look at that more than who is listed as A and who is listed as B and am hoping the sim will too. Also put a lefty and righty set-up guy (again A and B, but I hope they read it as right and left) and then a closer.

I went with5 man rotation(3R 2L)2 long(1R 1L)2 setup(2L)1 closer( R)Looking back I should have drafted another righty in the pen. I'm thinking of going to a 4 man rotation due to the way Vida Blue has performed in the live games I've played, maybe move him to mopup. Still not sure though, I might just start him in the dummy games and move him to mopup against real teams.

Agreed, but we're talking about :e: here. Maybe I should have said "some tools", instead of "tools", might have avoided exposing your sensitivity to an internet side board....there are t00ls everywhere, even some right in this very threadThere aren't tools over there?I saw the roster.....
ROMA (to Levene)You were saying?
Come on. Come on, you got them in
the kitchen, you got the stats
spread out, you're in your shirt-
sleeves, you can smell it. Huh?
Snap out of it, you're eating her
crumb cake.
LEVENE
I'm eating her crumb cake...
ROMA
How was it...?
LEVENE
From the store.
ROMA
#### her...
LEVENE
"What we have to do is admit to
ourself that we see that
opportunity...and take it.
(pause)
And that's it." And we sit there.
(pause)
I got the pen out...
ROMA
"Always be closing..."
LEVENE
That's what I'm saying. The old
ways. The old ways...convert the
mother####er...sell him...sell
him... make him sign the check.
(pause)
The...Bruce, Harriet...the kitchen,
blah: they got their money in
government bonds...I say #### it,
we're going to go the whole route.
I plat it out eight units. Eighty-
two grand. I tell them. "This is
now. This is that thing that
you've been dreaming of, you're
going to find that suitcase on the
train, the guy comes in the door,
the bag that's full of money. This
is it, Harriett..."
ROMA
(reflectively)
Harriett...
LEVENE
Bruce..."I don't want to ####
around with you. I don't want to
go round this, and #####foot around
the thing, you have to look back on
this. I do, too. I came here to
do good for you and me. For both
of us. Why take an interim position?
The only arrangement I'll accept is
full investment. Period. The
whole eight units. I know that
you're saying 'be safe,' I know
what you're saying. I know if I
left you to yourselves, you'd say
'come back tomorrow,' and when I
walked out that door, you'd make a
cup of coffee...you'd sit down...and
you'd think 'let's be safe...' and
not to disappoint me you'd go one
unit or maybe two, because you'd
become scared because you'd met
possibility. But this won't do,
and that's not the subject..."
Listen to this, I actually said
this. "That's not the subject of
our evening together." Now I handed
them the pen. I held it in my hand.
I turned the contract, eight units
eighty-two grand. "Now I want you
to sign."
(pause)
I sat there. Five minutes. Then,
I sat there, Ricky, twenty-two
minutes by the kitchen clock.
(pause)
Twenty-two minutes by the kitchen
clock. Not a word, not a motion.
What am I thinking? "My arm's
getting tired?" No. I did it. I
did it. Like in the old says,
Ricky. Like I was taught... Like,
like, like I used to do...I did it.
ROMA
Like you taught me...
LEVENE
Bull####, you're...No. That's
raw... well, if I did, then I'm
glad I did. I, well. I locked on
them. All on them, nothing on me.
All my thoughts are on them. I'm
holding the last thought that I
spoke: "Now is the time."
(pause)
They signed, Ricky. It was great.
It was ####### great. It was like
they wilted all at once. No
gesture...nothing. Like together.
They, I swear to God, they both
kind of imperceptibly slumped. And
he reaches and takes the pen and
signs, he passes it to her, she
signs. It was so ####### solemn.
I just let it sit. I nod like this.
I nod again. I grasp his hands. I
shake his hands. I grasp her hands.
I nod at her like this.
"Bruce...Harriet..." I'm beaming at
them. I'm nodding like this. I
point back in the living room, back
to the sideboard.
(pause)
I didn't ####### know there was a
sideboard there!! He goes back, he
brings us a drink. Little shot
glasses. A pattern in 'em. And we
toast. In silence.
Pause.
ROMA
That was a great sale, Shelly.
