well i will ask for that trade after harden's first start in the majors...which should be coming up soon. and like i said before if anybody wants a first baseman that isnt swisher then give me a message.

FWIW DB, I was only busting balls. I wouldn't seriously block a bad trade unless it really affected the game.

As for my A-Rod Hamilton trade, that offer was before A-rod came back, and Hamilton was on the DL too. So it was somewhat of a risk.

Now I feel bad...

You should. You were tied with BAM, and now he got his players back.

hey blib just wondering did u think that i would give u longoria and mauer? lol

Considering the trade you accepted from DB? Absolutely! I wasn't offering you middle relievers and guys on the DL.

Added to my last post... there is such a thing as a "counter offer". There's even a button next to the "accept" and "reject" buttons. Most trades start off one sided, so make a counter offer to try and get what you want.

"lol"

Commissioner's Note
Although I veered from it this weekend, this is the trade policy I will follow for the rest of the year. You all have seen this (except for perhaps BAM and Yogi) so you should all be familiar with it from our past leagues.

Trade Policy - I will generally approve all trades unless I know there's collusion or I'm convinced that there's been a mistake involved.

I will only overturn trades in 2 scenarios:
1 - I am somehow convinced that an accident occurred in an accepted trade.
2 - If a trade is seriously, I mean seriously, out of whack - e.g. Johan Santana for Oliver Perez. Usually, there's collusion if a trade like this goes down.

Also, the following is the schedule of when trades are effected and the new players show up on your rosters:

Day 0 - Trade agreement is reached between the two players and it shows up on Yahoo.
Day 1 - Trade is approved.
Day 2 - New players appear on your roster.

The one day lag between when a trade is accepted and the trade is approved by me is to give me time to see the trade. In case I don't see it right away (i.e. I don't see it until Day 1 instead of Day 0), I'll approve the trade right away.

No reason to feel bad, BL. You aren't the only one who didn't like the trade and I reversed it before you guys started rioting.

Nobody can accuse me of being a unresponsive commish.

I don't feel bad! (Okay, maybe a little Sorry, DB! )

I know there was no collusion or any "accident", it just didn't seem right. But hell, if you wanna go for it, go for it... but after I put more distance between us

hey DB did you get my trade request yet?

I did. I'm thinking it over. Thanks.

Strap in kids.

wow I don't think the trade should've been such a big issue. I didn't mean NO harm to you DB. it's a thin line when you're offering players and how can you be the one to blame when the other owner accepts a lopsided deal, unless there's a collusion?

call me crazy but I don't see how the last trade is such a big deal if the next-to-last wasn't even discussed. BAM has his reasoning and that Gallardo+Youkilis trade was posibly a similar steal but that's just DB taking advantage of less experienced owners and maybe I'm the one to blame for not trying to do the same. those were just bad trades. there isn't collusion, right? so that's it.

So you are saying we should reverse those trades too?

no. those were just bad trades. there isn't collusion, right?

the last one was much more lopsided right off the bat but I do believe that Rich Harden is one of the top 5 SP in baseball when he's healthy and going on. I know he hasn't performed anything close to that and I'm not aware of his DL status and when is he going to come back and if the injury is serious but with BAM trying to put together an all-Cubs team that's what you get. reversing that one was the right thing to do.

tony...u do know that i was joking about the all cubs team. yea it might not make since trading a hall of fame relieve pitcher for somebody that is getting off the DL, but you know a relieve pitcher can be replaced. its just hard to find the same caliper of starters for a pitching staff. that is where harden fits.

I can't believe I have to answer this but, no, there was no collusion.

Can we all just please drop the subject before I write something I shouldn't. The trade was reversed like everyone wanted.

Thanks for negotiating on behalf of other players.

To lighten the mood around here... Megan Fox.



It's incredibly difficult to find a picture of her suitable for a PG audience.

u know something DB...i will trade you everybody on my team for any pictures you have. lol

it's not like I was asking for an answer. I meant "I know there isn't collusion, that's it, move on"...

I know TM.

Moving on is what I'm trying to do!

If you guys like her, google "Megan Fox Esquire Video." Just trust me on this.

Mmmmmm.... that sexy, gorgeous shape... of Miller Lite... Oh, and she's pretty hot, too. lol

i am a bud guy, but if megan is a miller type girl then i can change. lol

I would collude with her.
