This team's a wash

Well thank you PBTR. :D You have a nice weekend now y'hear?

BTW...you were not the one I was thinking of when I said I bet I knew who it was.

LOL didn't you say later that you didn't even have to hear my "confession", that everyone already knew?

I just thought that was funny, I don't take this nearly as seriously as you may think.

You have a good weekend too, now. :wink:

[1crazycanuk]

Nope. I didn't know it was you. I was almost sure it was someone else. No big deal to me, really. But I didn't know it was you. peace.

Add another three losses to the toll... :cry: 50-35 to 51-51...has there ever BEEN a worse slump on here? lol man oh man...

I don't see Rolen on your team. Here are a couple of observations, though, from someone who is only rarely competitive in 2005:

I see Boone and Beltran as players who, despite good D, are better suited for slugger parks than Dodger Stadium. Both have major BPHR lines. I've soured on Ford after getting little out of him. Even had him at Minute Maid and he still only hit .260, with about 15 HRs. These three have at least produced runs for you, but my guess is that they were much better on the road.

Concur with observations above, especially on pitching. Perez has never been real good for me; you'll find Willis to be hit or miss ... great game followed by a disaster. Lima I wouldn't throw unless God Himself ordered it.

Yeah I dropped Rolen to go back to most of the guys that I had in the first place. That was probably even stupider. I had dropped Wells for Lima and I am thinking of trying to trade Clemens...he's sucking now. Loses pretty much every game...3-1 or something.

Yeah, I hear you about Boone and Beltran. I just went for them for their defence. I "thought" the others I had would more than make up for their lack of offence. Actually, I think they did fairly well at home...my home record is ten games over .500. The road is where I'm awful.

I kinda see what else is going on. Everyone's relievers are coming in to pitch to one or two of my batters! Even when they're winning and the starter has dominated my team! Damn, mine aren't doing that.

Canuck I actually looked at your team, geesh, you've dumped a lot of salary. Probably beyond recovery at this point, be happy if you can get to .500.

Live and learn, dumping is a last resort and only lower salaried players. Unless you can trade, but good luck because it isn't easy unless you can catch a team in last place that just wants to tank it.

PS, truth is, many knew it was me, I've had this issue before. That and being extremely pushy with other managers during live drafts with time limits and rules, etc.

Hey I just traded Clemens without even realizing it. I just woke up and accidentally hit accept. Oh well. I give up on this team. Unbelievable.
