Does this mean you'll give me Lefty Grove for Mark McGwire?
Well, besides the occasional HR, McGwire is an albatross on the field and at bat.At least Grove is a lefty. I say it's a fair swap.....I would have done that when I still cared! LOL. Have you SEEN what Grove does in this game? The sim renders him uselessDoes this mean you'll give me Lefty Grove for Mark McGwire?
That's not necessarily true. All that stuff is for designing teams within a salary cap structure. We don't have that limitation, so it is worth it for us to spend money on guys like Gagne. Granted, we didn't choose guys based on those metrics, but we should have guys who are adequate from the bullpen.
I have grove resting most days. So they wont even put him in the game in the pen. What does that tell ya?Well, besides the occasional HR, McGwire is an albatross on the field and at bat.At least Grove is a lefty.

But actually, if you don't care, I'll give you Norm Cash instead.
Oh, don't start
the same day you fall into 3rd place.
Obviously if we built a team either for this sim, or at least understanding the sim, things would be different. But as an afterthought, its not worth too much effort when we are stuck with a specific year of a somewhat flawed system. This way, we have no flexibility in regard to building our players for the sim at hand.Ill put my lineups in, I dont throw games or skew results. Just personally, I am not going to be bothered by a loss, nor excited by a win knowing whats up.
Did you notice Tony Gwynn's name on my roster?
The thin/fast Gwynn is an urban legend. He's like the Oreo cookie. You thought the original was stuffed until you saw the new DOUBLE STUFFED Oreo. It wasn't until you saw the later that the original looked thin.
(I feel much better now :- ) you are going down funkley. until my relivers come in to blow about their 8th game)
I never claimed that my team was most effected by this at all. Im not whining because of my record. I am whining because it sucks that some of us (and again, others more than me) are screwed by our limited rules rendering all time legends worthless and paul quantrill god.So, when I go on my inevitable 10-22 slide, I will not be upset. If I go 22-10, I will not be fully rejoiceful (damn lucky perhaps, but not so rejoiceful!). thats my point.Dude ... you are 25-18. I am 18-25. Talk to me when you're team goes on a 10-22 slide.
I think I was a little vague above.Actually, what was so :rotflmao: was when you said "a setup guy (who most of the time is not needed since our SP are good)".
Yup. It can still be fun, and at some point the disconnect between a guys ability and his sim ability becomes frustrating. Especially when we have no wiggle room.I am sure if my team had half the losses I have, then even though I would recognize the BS it would not be frustrating, and I am sure if I had more losses I would have gotten frustrated sooner.
Man, I need a drink.
Your problem is that you had any faith in Isiah. Everything the guy's touched has turned to coal. The continue to act like the 80 Yankees. Until they realize the slalry cap matters, nothing will change.Want to get rid of a bad contract ...dial up Isiah.Yup.

Not to mention, if we do another WIS season, there will be no room for whining about this since we will all know the playing field.
But when my knicks are adding 3 more years of purgatory at the minimum and my clients are driving me nuts, I dont need my sim to piss me off too!!!!!!!!!!
I only had faith in Ike because how could he be worse than his predecessors?Well, he was not worse. But not better either.Your problem is that you had any faith in Isiah.

The main problem with Ike is he seems to believe he can have these parts to improve the team. The only problem is the goal isn't to improve the team, but to win a championship. To do that in the NBA, you need a superstar (I'm not counting Marbury as a superstar here), which he can't get with all these parts. That's the frustrating part. You clear the salary and you can be sure you could get some superstar signing with the Knicks. This isn't only an Ike problem either...Mr. Ainge please pickup the courtesy phone. Unlike the NFL where it pays to have a deep team, in the NBA you don't need all 12 guys to be good.I only had faith in Ike because how could he be worse than his predecessors?
Well, he was not worse. But not better either.
Lets go. Brooklyn.
At least people give you a little rope to whine in here. I got it out of my system, had been building for about a week now.
Spock did a great job of building his team around his park. I think that would be evident in an accurate sim as well, although I think he might have more trouble on the road. Either way, I think Spocks team, especially for his home park, is very solid and not at all a fish nor aberation.If I learn that Spock has played wis before and realized how much a park has an effect (especially if you have a non defensive park, unless you have Paul Quantrill in the pen, watch out) then I retract the above statement.Spock sim-fished his park. I say we boot him.

Your repentence is accepted. I can understand how that poll which was fairly even (I think Chuck won by a few votes) finally swayed your opinion to the point where you might not agree with the pick, but it was far from a terrible pick or one that would ruin anything.Repent for the Lebron fiasco.Spock did a great job of building his team around his park.

I was just trying to keep the thread alive. That's why I tried to rationalize the pick. I was immediately disgusted. You spit on the history of the game. It happened.Your repentence is accepted.

Especially since during the draft you stated you thought the pick was too early, but did not at all express the disdain since Nipsey brainwashed you in this thread.
UCONN - Lebron will be able to keep any thread with you or Nipsey in it, alive.I was just trying to keep the thread alive. That's why I tried to rationalize the pick. I was immediately disgusted.

History passed you by... history is being made. In the shape of a 25 point scoring, 8 assist dishing, 7 rebound grabbing, 2.5 steal taking monster who is already one of the unique forces the NBA has ever seen.Thankfully the FFA supported my case. I would have been happy for 30% of the vote.. then at least 1/3 people would have taken the Bronster. Almost 50%?
