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####.

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!

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.

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.

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.

we said you could have either 3rd best season or 3rd best reliever season...there were not restrictions or anything else on it...I make a motion to remove Larry forcebly from the league, effective immediately.

LOL. I say we all use whatever season we want. Heck, we did the draft to eliminate drafting for one season. Now that we have accomplished that, lets go ahead and use our guys at their best.Loopholefisherit 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.

By doing this, I may be able to get Big Mac in a year where he was actually useful. Plus, I can get Radbourn's 600+ IP year!I am also in full support of this.I don't think you want to do this.

1. what rule did I break again??2. I thought we should be able to use any season from the start (I thought maybe we should eliminate thier best season, but then, what is thier best season?)the only problem I would have with changing players now is the stats will be majorly skewed...and...3. what rule did I break again??
RIP larry_boy_44not even Jesus can save you now

None. You just exploited a loophole.

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.
"Ouch."

it never said only... it said you could...huge difference...
besides which, how do you know what 3 players I put in the SP/RP spots and which 3 I didn't put there???
I might have put Quantrill in a split spot...

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. That makes you a cheater.
YOU GAY CHEATING WHORE
larry_boy_44
Footballguy
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...
the Eck-rule really only applied to guys who had both reliever seasons and starter seasons, and no one ever said that you had to do it if you didn't want to...

later Nipsey, I'll see you after your done using your alias...:rotflmao:
Politician Spock

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.
larry_boy_44
Footballguy
no it isn't...no one ever stated that you MUST use the third reliever season at any point...
it was said that you could choose to use the third reliever season if they had starter seasons that got in the way...
I chose not to...
Not Nipsey's Alias
Footballguy
Larry -First of all, this is not Nipsey's alias. This has been proven.
Secondly, this whole scenario reminds me of my first league. I was just out of the Marines. My first pick ever was Tom Goodwin. (What can I say? I was young.) Anywho, we used the same structure you guys do (using 3rd best seasons). Some yahoo decides to do the exact same thing Larry decides to do. Just ruined the whole league. A lot of hearts were broken, and a lot of trust was lost. It was really sad.
So, I end up re-enlisting back in the Marines. I was pissed off. Around year two of the re-enlistment I'm stationed in Guam (my home now). We go to the mess for some chow and wouldn't you know, the guy who ruined our league ended up enlisting as well and was in my detail! He apologized and told me how he went through so much after blowing the league up. I heard his story and I forgave him. Today, he and I can joke about it, but sometimes deep down I can feel the fire roaring. Still hurts.
The moral of the story is: it's not worth it. Change your relievers back to the year they should be. It almost cost me a friend. "It almost cost me my life."
