YOUR DAMN RIGHT A RANT WAS COMING. THIS IS TOTAL BULL#### AND TO FIND OUT THAT LARRY HAS BEEN CHEATING THE WHOLE TIME REALLY HURTS ME PERSONALLY.When somebody is replying now, their name on the bottom is in italics.
So I KNEW that rant from Nipsey was coming.
![]()

I got f'ed over once (to Larryboy's team). McDowell was pitching a no-no shutout and he gets replaced in a non-save situation in the 9th and I lose 1-0. The reason? According to WIS.com after I sent them a protest letter, they said I pinched for McDowell because "it was my last chance to win". HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF EXTRA INNINGS, ########?!Where's John Martinez? I wanna kick the guy in the balls for making a flawed game.another lead blown in the top of the 9th.![]()
WHY THE #### ARE MY STARTERS BEING TAKEN OUT WHEN THEY CLEARLY HAVE THE JUICE TO FINISH THE GAME!
####### team's blown 7 saves out of 9 chances. This is bull####.
it doesn't matter where he "fits" or whatever you think...I am 100% within the rules using his 3rd best overall season...Slotting Quantrill anywhere other than the 'RP' slot is abusing the rules. Quantrill does not belong in one of the SP/RP slots because there's no friggin way he's ever going to start a game. Picking and choosing where to put him based on taking advantage of a loop hole is.
Happy now?Damn, i was hoping for more.
I make a motion to remove Larry forcebly from the league, effective immediately. You've been caught bending the rules, now you're going to tell us the rules that were agreed upon, you'll not abide by?I vote for immediate expulsion.it doesn't matter where he "fits" or whatever you think...I am 100% within the rules using his 3rd best overall season...Slotting Quantrill anywhere other than the 'RP' slot is abusing the rules.

Honestly, this needs to be dealt with. Larry has clearly and purposely decided to not follow the rules. Some of his wins should be taken away and he should have to forfeit a player, or something along those lines. NO WONDER his ####### bullpen is untouchable! Who else has Larry decided to use an illegal season with? And all this after we spent most of the afternoon talking about the ####### guy (Quantrill). If I could use Eck's best season, I'd have 6 more wins than I have now. SIX. That's the truth.
Larry's record should be adjusted....to losses for every appearance Quantrill has made. EVERY ONE.
This is completely inexcusable and I make a motion that Larry be disqualified from future leagues for this blatant disregard for the rules, this disregard for our time and the horrific scar this will leave on the entire thread as a whole.
Who'd have guessed that the guy who claims to be the most religious, ends up cheating in such a way as to submarine (literally) months of effort on all our parts. Shame on you Larry. You've broken my spirit and may you be dealt with swiftly and with great vengeance.
YOU DIRTY GAY WHORE!

Doing this would make me the best team in the entire league. (I'm tied with Harrier's team, but due to the fact I have one less loss than he does, I'm ahead on percentage.)I would be in total support of this.Honestly, this needs to be dealt with.

Much better. Thank you.Happy now?Damn, i was hoping for more.
Will he be third or fourth in your rotation?I've just sent my ticket to WIS and am changing to the third best overall seasons for the following players:

None. You just exploited a loophole.3. what rule did I break again??
they are having thier third year used...quit whining 'cuz you can't win...Can we also assume that because Larry "decided" to use Quantrill's best season as a reliever, that he's done the exact same thing for Smoltz? (another guy who hasn't been a reliever his whole career)
NO WONDER LARRY'S BEEN WINNING
REMEMBER THIS LARRY, I HAVE THE POSTER ON MY WALL AND I'M QUOTING WORD FOR WORD:
A winner never cheats and a cheater never wins.
That's why you'll never catch me cheating Larry and that's why you'll never win.

that or he's starting players he used the RP season for...
Bull####. We did say "only". Larry, you KNOW that the season you're using Quantrill with was a season he was a reliever. If you wanted to use him as a starter, you would have.If you want to argue it, you can, but you're wrong. You've bent the rules and gotten a player (with a 0.00 ERA!!!!!!) that you should not have.

for one, Quantrill has a 1.42 ERA...for two, his 3rd best season IS a season as a reliever, therefore I don't have to use the Eck-rule...

This is wrong. It was clear that if you were taking a guy who did both during his career, you either took his third best year as a starter if you drafted him as a starter, or you took his third best year as a reliever if you drafted him as a reliever. Quantrill is a case nobody thought of as he only had one season as a starter. You decided to mix his starter and reliever years together so that you could get his second best season as a reliver. Again, no one thought of this kind of case, so there was no rule in place. It was a nice little loophole that you exploited.for one, Quantrill has a 1.42 ERA...for two, his 3rd best season IS a season as a reliever, therefore I don't have to use the Eck-rule...

here is what was said:larry, everybody but you understood the rules a certain way.
maybe..just maybe you're wrong?![]()
where in that does it say that you MUST use the third best reliever year? It says you can, not you must...I could go for that w/ pitchers. I think the only people it will effect are relief pitchers that started at the beginning of their career. I've already checked all your Babe Ruth types and nobody significant has a pitching year get in the way. W/ and Eck (or I guess a guy like Smoltz) I've got no problem if a guy wants to use a lesser salary to get the "reliever version" of that type of player if everybody agrees w/ it. I'm also not against going for "any season after 3rd highest salary" w/ position players, but if anybody is against it (and Harrier for one has said he is) I don't think it's fair to change the rules w/out unanimous agreement after it gets going.also adding in I didn't mean to go after Nipsey for questioning things. I come off as less than patient over a computer sometimes because I speak very plainly (and Nipsey likes to say this is being "holier than though" or something when actually it is just me being very literal). If he has legit questions over the rules that is cool. I don't think they are all that complicated...certainly not to the point where you can't fire a quick question to Cappy and then accept his judgement, but what do I know.well yeah, I agree..I think this makes sense only with the pitching roles. So SP/RP, OF/SP, etc.Otherwise, people already made, or didn't make, draft choices based on the positional (C/1B/2B/SS/3B/OF) eligbility of players, and it wouldn't be fair to change it at this point.this is the big problem..say for some reason that ruth's 3rd-best season was one where he was a SP..obviously you'd want him as an OF (I'm sure this isn't the case, just saying)..that presents a problem.Another problem comes in to play with players who were both SP and RP.
Dennis Eckersley's lights out 1990 season, complete with 0.61 ERA and 73/4 K/BB ratio, is salaried much lower than a bunch of mediocre starting pitching seasons. Clearly that was his best career season and one that shouldn't be allowed in our game.
wish we had thought of this beforehand.
maybe we can work something out where players who served dual-roles in their career, and the sim doesn't allow for it, we could have it be their 3rd-best year at that position the draftor requests? say for eck, his 3rd-best year as a RP, and for Babe, his 3rd-best year as an OF?
make sense?

So SP/RP, OF/SP, etc.Otherwise, people already made, or didn't make, draft choices based on the positional (C/1B/2B/SS/3B/OF) eligbility of players, and it wouldn't be fair to change it at this point.this is the big problem..say for some reason that ruth's 3rd-best season was one where he was a SP..obviously you'd want him as an OF (I'm sure this isn't the case, just saying)..that presents a problem.Another problem comes in to play with players who were both SP and RP.
Dennis Eckersley's lights out 1990 season, complete with 0.61 ERA and 73/4 K/BB ratio, is salaried much lower than a bunch of mediocre starting pitching seasons. Clearly that was his best career season and one that shouldn't be allowed in our game.
wish we had thought of this beforehand.
maybe we can work something out where players who served dual-roles in their career, and the sim doesn't allow for it, we could have it be their 3rd-best year at that position the draftor requests? say for eck, his 3rd-best year as a RP, and for Babe, his 3rd-best year as an OF?
make sense?
