well if i remember right i picked him up after zambrano went on the DL, and once he was off i dropped him. if i had him the whole time then i just fucked up big time!

Yeah. Wonder who did a stupid thing like that?

Thanks FC.

I'd like Wieters to do well because he's my catcher in another league that I'm in.

Wouldn't you have been disappointed in me if I didn't use my #1 waiver priority?

yes that's good reasoning anyway the guy is due to get roughed up!

I have over 2,000 points already?

Wow!!

Did DB include a jar of Vaseline in his latest trade?

WOAH.... WTF??? HELL NAH!!

BAM WTF ARE YOU THINKING?????????

We don't need to worry. BAM and DB are Cubs fans.. so they will do well until the end and then lose.

Seriously, this trade baffles me.

If I knew he wanted a middle reliever and a guy on the DL with a bad arm, I could have hooked him up.

BAM, If you want to trade Longoria I've got Brad Ziegler over here with your name all over him!

I cannot believe this... I vote NO (unless I hear a VERY good explanation from BAM) -- DB's on my ass and he keeps getting the better end of all these damn trades. Of course I'm gonna vote NO on this!! lol


DB to trade:

Kyle "Who??" McClellan (StL - RP)
Rich Harden (ChC - SP) DL

BAM to trade:

Mariano "The Best Closer in All Of Baseball, except in the postseason lol" Rivera (NYY - RP)

BAM to drop:

John Maine (NYM - SP)

I vote yes because BAM is/was in 2nd place.

I edited my post above... being in 5th with DB in 6th and making out on every damn trade, I have myself to look out for!

In all seriousness, it is one of the worst trades of all time. At this point, John Maine is probably more valuable than Harden.

No shit... and he's a Mutt, too! lol

What's next? Some asshole trading away LeBron James for a bunch of bench scrubs???

Yahoo Mid-Season League starts 6/22. Who's up for another draft?

I had James in the basketball game and even i would not have traded him!!!

Well unless i was tricked

the two reasons why i took this trade was because harden can still pitch, and no injury to his pitching arm makes him more valurable. also too i have a feeling that rivera will go down due to his age...and i still have some questions with the yankees. another thing too i am trying to get an all cubs team, so yea lol.

or you're just trying to get an all cubs team, so yea lol.

The trade already went through... ? How much protesting do we have to do to stop a trade?

u know i was just joking with that "all cubs team" lol

When DB said "If my team doesn't improve soon, be on the lookout for offers you can't refuse! ;)", I didn't know he was serious.

It's good to be The Commish.

does anybody want a first baseman?

So who will you offer me for Aramis Ramírez?

FYI... I approved the trade before I saw all the hubbub here on the message board.

This puts me in a precarious position. While I admit that I was a little surprised that BAM approved the trade, he is clearly getting a player that he wanted and he defended himself in his post above.

With that said, I'd rather not risk losing the league on some silly trade. The league and the friendships I've formed with all of you are much more important - TM has recently been intimating that I'm stealing everyone's players which doesn't really sit right with me.

I'll reverse the trade. BAM, if you still want Harden, perhaps we can work out another trade.

The trade above has been reversed.

Let me ask you guys one thing though... If JL's A-Rod/Josh Hamilton trade for Beltran (a trade that was leaps and bounds beyond overpaying than the trade above is) was actually accepted, would there have been such an outcry?
