You two are gonna give me a bad rap and make all the newbies afraid to trade with me.

The Lebron trade seemed fair at the time, it just didn't work out for JG.

Ask JG about his other great moves, like simply cutting Antowan Jamison and Gerald Wallace.

He didn't even get back a bag of chips for either of those guys.

Ah yes... the "bust" should've given it away.

And besides, it's not like you bomb in the bedroom, right?

I actually read "bedroom" as "basement" for some reason... I guess I am getting senile...

I think maybe because it's initials are bb, and that's my baseball initials.

I didn't want to touch the "I must bomb in the bedroom" scenerio, but I was thinking it.

Poor Orioles fans. Anna Benson has filed for divorce from new Oriole Kris Benson. Now, what do we do for entertainment? She's filing for divorce on grounds the marraige has be irreversibly broken down.

Does the thought of moving to Baltimore bother her that much?

Now that she is available, if anyone can persuade Anna Benson's crazy but beautiful ass to by my woman, I would trade all the stud players on my team plus a bag of peanuts, a box of cracker jacks and a 2 4 of the beer of your choice, and by your choice I mean MY choice (Molson Canadian, Labatt's, Carling, M.G.D., Budweiser, Coors etc.) Hell, I'll also throw in a bottle of your favourite liquor (and by your favourite, I mean MY favourite((s)) (((Canadian Club, Canadian Mist, Crown Royal, Seagram's, Yukon Jack, Dr. McGillicuddy's etc.)))) :p

I don't care if I'm lowering (does this word exist?) his tradind value, the fact is he's not being a good influence in the clubhouse.

I don't know if Plaw wants to do his "extended stats" for this game or not, but here're the point totals for Day 1:

April 2 Results
Code:
 
    PTS  SPU          
DB   9    0   Thome, his homey!
LZ   5    0   Two empty outfield spots?
PL   5    0   Enjoyed Nets' 12 Win
JL   0    0   No one from either team
DJ   0    1   Dye (7) on bench
TM   0    0   No one from either team
CC   0    0   Betancourt (4) on bench
JG   0    0   No one from either team
DA  -2    1   Not happy w/ CC (Sabathia, that is)

Gkad you mentioned "extended stats"

I had originally said that I would determine the waiver priority order based not only on the standings, but on the standings based on "Projected Points" (like I do in basketball), rather than on the raw point totals that Yahoo provides.

However.....I realized when attempting to figure out "Projected Points" there is a lot of work involved, since there are three separate components involved - Starting Pitching, Relief Pitching, and Offense - all of which have to be treated and weighted differently.

So....I'm just gonna adjust the waiver order every day based on the Yahoo standings.

After everyone's team "settles in" there aren't gonna be that many waiver claims anyway (I don't think).

What I will do every 5-7 days or so is post a standings which are based on projected points scored for the season so everyone has an idea of how the are doing relative to everyone else when taking into account how many games of their maximums they have used up, and when I do it the first time, I'll post the formula.

Another little glitch which I've noticed is yahoo's failure to give us two essential pieces of information:

1- A running total of how many games we've used at each offensive position (again, as they do in basketball) so we can monitor our own progress towards the 162 game maximum.

I have to believe, though, that since they offer as part of the game set-up a "maximum number of games at each position (for non-pitchers)" that this information will be forthcoming eventually, and if it doesn't appear within the next few days I'll write to Yahoo and ask them what's going on.

If necesaary, that's something I can keep track of manually and post every day.

2- The other bit of info which they don't seem to be offering as of yet is the "Game Log" for each team.

That's the little thingy that keeps track of how many points, category by category, each of your players has scored for you, and that's the raison d'etre for having made "Starts" by a SP a stat category.

The thinking was that by looking at your "Game Log" it would tell you how many starts anyone you had ever used as a SP had made when you had that SP in your lineup as a starter.

Since that seems to be absent (so far) as well, that's another bit of info that, if necessary, I will keep track of manually and post daily.

So, JG......

In answer to your question.....

I will come up with some kind of "extended stats" posting every day which contains the information that we all need.

I'm just not sure yet what it should (and will) include, and probably won't be for at least a gfew days until we see what info Yahoo is gonna give us and what we're gonna have to figure out ourselves, and also I want to wait until we have a few more games under our belts so the stas start to take on a little bit of meaning.

So for now, just the standings and a raw points total is fine.

The only addition I made to your post is an accounting of the number of starts by your starting pitchers ("SPU" - "Starting Pitchers Used"), since that's a key stat in the march to the 162 game maximum, and one that that greatly affects the standings.

( NB...I also changed Don Jasini's initials from the "JA" you called him to the "DJ" that I think I've been calling him all along).

Just for the record, in case anyone has forgotton....
Code:
DB   Don Sicilia
PL   plawrence

JL   Just Lou

You need more than one whine alert for that, my friend! 16 pts outta Perez is pretty good. I only got 5 from Carpenter, and freakin' -7 from Zambrano!! :rolleyes:

Commissioner's Rulings:

1- In anticipation of getting an additional 7 points from Perez for the win, DB's whine was permissable with only one whine alert.

2- JG failed to provide us with a whine alert in his whine about Carpenter and Zambrano.

Which thread am I in again? I have him in Salary Cap..Where am I at? I think I need a map.

I'm just used to seeing baseball in the title and talking some smack. Now we have to be careful. I'm not liking this already.

Oh yeah, (whine alert)

Lehr got the win. Had Perez gotten it, there's be NO reason to whine at all. It's bad enough whining about 16 pts, which is gonna be a great line this year with our scoring, I think.

In a few days we'll see if pitching is valued correctly or not. :p

Very true... But if Perez had gotten the win, I don't think I would have written "Friggin' Pirates bullpen"! :p

My pain was alleviated when Turnbow picked up the save in the same game.
