surprised Donaldson is over papi now as #1 batter

johnny crunch, Tuesday, 12 July 2016 14:34 (seven years ago) link

I can't believe I took Bautista over Donaldson; I'd be in first! >X'S

francisF, Thursday, 14 July 2016 21:54 (seven years ago) link

no idea why i added Bregman. Already have Correa and Story. may have gotten a little carried away in the hype

free agent add of Jett Bandy, what a time to be alive

johnny crunch, Monday, 25 July 2016 21:22 (seven years ago) link

Sorry Nomar, your trade offer was good but I was thinking about pulling that one all week...

a simba man (Will M.), Friday, 29 July 2016 01:02 (seven years ago) link

just turned down one hell of a crazy 8-player deal...
I'm surprised, tbh, Harper fetched so little. this is fun tho - our league had gotten quiet for a bit there.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 29 July 2016 03:04 (seven years ago) link

what was the point of the villar deal? villar can't even be kept...

a simba man (Will M.), Friday, 29 July 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link

i knew i overreached on my epic eight player deals.

nomar, Friday, 29 July 2016 18:26 (seven years ago) link

sending you an email. my app didn't let me write a response when i turned it down.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 29 July 2016 18:52 (seven years ago) link

i liked it. but there's a hitch.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 29 July 2016 19:00 (seven years ago) link

Also, to everyone: I won't be able to keep all 3 of Story, Correa and Sano (Bryant and Fernandez aren't going anywhere). let see some dumb trades! (would want pitching and/or 27-29 keeper.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 29 July 2016 19:02 (seven years ago) link

^i am cooking up an insane offer rn

a simba man (Will M.), Friday, 29 July 2016 19:26 (seven years ago) link

sweet.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 29 July 2016 19:29 (seven years ago) link

question is do i have the stones to even offer it?!

a simba man (Will M.), Friday, 29 July 2016 19:30 (seven years ago) link

pondering that trade offer...

nomar, Saturday, 30 July 2016 22:50 (seven years ago) link

Welp. Was asking a lot for Story since his production was going to be tough to replace. And now he's no good to me for the rest of the year. If anyone has an open DL slot and wants him as a keeper, hit me up. Will toss him overboard in a few days otherwise.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 23:01 (seven years ago) link

fuck it indeed!

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link

Only slightly better than Vogt. But I was dropping him anyways, so what the hell.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 4 August 2016 01:57 (seven years ago) link

thermo i came at you with another proposal

nomar, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link

It's pretty good. Only thing holding me up is I'd be light in the OF dept after this.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 11 August 2016 00:24 (seven years ago) link

Wow, this trade is wild.

NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 11 August 2016 08:15 (seven years ago) link

Just crazy enough.

Was out of town for the weekend, limited internet access, didn't realize Betts was back. Benched a 3 HR game. Due to another similar error earlier this year I'm pretty sure I benched ANOTHER one of his multi-HR games, meaning due to two days I've missed out on 20% of his homers, lol.

a simba man (Will M.), Monday, 15 August 2016 17:31 (seven years ago) link

ridic that kershaw is still ranked #1

nomar, Monday, 22 August 2016 18:57 (seven years ago) link

i'm gunning for that fourth place medal hardcore

nomar, Monday, 29 August 2016 17:51 (seven years ago) link

two weeks pass...

i'm going to jinx Will right now and prematurely congratulate him on his eminent victory this year.
way to kick all of our butts!

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 19:46 (seven years ago) link

how dare you :P

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:06 (seven years ago) link

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE SUDDENLY GOING TO DROP 13.5 POINTS OR ANYTHING! WHAT ARE THE ODDS??!?!!

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:13 (seven years ago) link

seriously tho, congrats. you killed it this year.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:15 (seven years ago) link

i've lost in september before :/ hopefully i can keep it together tho. it'd take a pretty severe kick in all of my ratios to really fuck me at this point

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:29 (seven years ago) link

dammit i'd have given it a better run if aj pollock wasn't crippled until a week ago (and then crippled again), and if my pitchers didn't have awful k/bb ratios (despite having high K rates.)

nomar, Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:46 (seven years ago) link

I was having a decent run before my SP's completely imploded in August. After a good first half I figured I had a good shot at a podium position, but the second half has been an all-time fantasy sports disaster for me. HOMERBAiLi crushed everyone this year.

NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 14 September 2016 11:12 (seven years ago) link

My place every year:

2016: ???, for a while have been 1st
2015: 3rd, for a long while was 1st
2014: 4th, was maybe briefly 1st
2013: 3rd, was 1st for half the year
2008: 14th lol I don't remember this

The point is: I'm definitely not ready to celebrate, EVER, until it's over

Also every year I've traded solid keepers to win and failed. CarGo in 2013; Baez, Chris Davis, Craig Kimbrel 2014; i guess none in 2015 but yeah... Harper in 2016 better fucking buy me that pennant

a simba man (Will M.), Wednesday, 14 September 2016 14:29 (seven years ago) link

i tried that two years ago – the keeper sale – and boy did it blow up in my face. this year it's worked out better, but not worked quite enough.

would be p sweet of would could see the standings plotted out over the season.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 14 September 2016 15:11 (seven years ago) link

man. now i really wish i could look at historical standing for our league over the season. would have been fun to visualize that.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 14 September 2016 15:20 (seven years ago) link

THERMO YOU JINXING SON OF A FUCK I'M ONLY UP 8 POINTS NOW

I BETTER NOT LOSE

a simba man (Will M.), Wednesday, 21 September 2016 15:27 (seven years ago) link

having a hard time dropping Jose Fernandez. i shoulda done it last night... but, fuck. i can't believe he's gone.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 26 September 2016 13:44 (seven years ago) link

gonna sound dumb and tone-deaf but there is a "NA" slot you can use.

had the same feeling in my keeper league w/ oscar tavares couple years back.

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 20:19 (seven years ago) link

i could kiss you!

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 22:43 (seven years ago) link

Way to go Will – you mopped the floor with us!
I got sort close and then it was a pretty big gap after that.

I feel like i should photoshop up a trophy for you or something. (but i'm lazy)

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 3 October 2016 13:53 (seven years ago) link

it was a lot more of a nail biter than i expected. now that i have won one i can finally CHILL (lol jk never)

a simba man (Will M.), Monday, 3 October 2016 19:04 (seven years ago) link

Congrats Will, you really mopped the floor with the field this year.

NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 3 October 2016 19:35 (seven years ago) link

four months pass...

is this happening again this year? would it be possible for me to play? i've been in a league the last couple of years but i don't really know anyone in it and it would be more fun to be competing against relative non-strangers.

na (NA), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:40 (seven years ago) link

oh! yes it is happening again! send me your yahoo email addy and i will invite you when i restart the league in a few days.
we'll figure out how to get you set-up with a new team when i create a new thread and find out if everyone is coming back.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:46 (seven years ago) link

also thank you for reminding me about this.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:47 (seven years ago) link

cool. i sent you a webmail, let me know if that doesn't work

na (NA), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:59 (seven years ago) link
